TIP OF THE WEEK

For those of you heading to the big game, here is our tip of the week:

If you're heading to Fenway this weekend, remember: yelling “Yankees suck!” is less of a chant and more of a local love language. Hydrate, wear sunscreen, and maybe don’t try to parallel park in Kenmore unless you're looking to add 45 minutes of character development to your day.

PARTICIPATION TIME

Below is a poll. The said poll is fun. Therefore, answering the poll will be fun, right?

Results will be announced on Thursday!

Enjoy!
