Hello All,
I am looking for a salon in the Quincy/Braintree area (i have a car, so it doesnt need to be near the red line). I need to get a pedicure and a manicure with acrylic tips put on, and i want a french style polish. I need to go Thursday morning. Does anyone know of any good, decently priced salons? Also, a name of a stylist would be good too.

Thanks!

Was anyone around the N. Quincy station between 12:30 and 1:30 this morning? The tracks run behind my apartment and there was some weird work being done on the commuter rail tracks.

hello quincy!

i've lived in quincy for the majority of my life, but i really don't know where i should go to the dentist. i've gone to wolly dental, but i have never been a huge fan. i don't care to go there again. i hate the denist more than anything in the world (no joke) and i'm looking for a place that i will feel comfortable at. i am looking for general dentistry because it's been a while.. but i have been thinking about getting braces for the past like 8 years or something.. so orthodontists recommendations are very welcome as well.

i'm posting here because i though personal recommendations would be best.. going through my health insurance website is overwhelming and ugly.

sorry if this type of post is not ok in this community, i just joined and only skimmed the rules.

oh yeah, i know this is the quincy lj, but i'm not opposed to going to a dentist in braintree or milton.. or even weymouth.

thanks in advance, and if this is not ok please feel free to delete. (i'm a bit paranoid since the b0st0n lj community is so snarky)

This is a 2-parter:

1) I know the Quincy Center T stop has overnight parking, but I was wondering if there was a limit on when you could get in? I have an early flight on Friday morning, and am taking a cab from Quincy Center, but some friends need a place to park, and we need to leave Quincy ~4:30am (ie, before the trains and buses start running).

2) There's a cab stand behind the T station, but again, I doubt cabs will be there at 4:30am...anyone know for sure?

Thanks in advance! I tried Googling, but could only find rate info...

Howdy! cathijosephine, who is currently living with me, is looking for somebody to rent her Quincy Center studio. Her Craigslist ad (with photos) is at http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/abo/1058139649.html, and here’s the text, since it’s short:

$1000 Furnished Studio on Red Line Available Immediately (Quincy Center)
No Fees! Across the street from Quincy Center T Station. ~450 square feet, hardwood floors, 2 big walk-in closets, small dishwasher, full size loft bed and comfy pull-out couch. Heat and hot water included. Coin-op laundry in building. 2 blocks to supermarket and drugstore.
Short-term lease available for $1,100/month.

(I.e., it's $1,100/mo. if you want it month-to-month, or $1,000/mo. if you'll sign a longer lease so it comes back on the market at a convenient time.)

You’d be comfortable walking distance from a supermarket and a pharmacy, less than five minutes’ walk from the T station, and within ten minutes’ walk from the restaurants and shops of Quincy Center

Bigger versions of the pictures in the Craigslist ad: Bathroom, main living area with couch and loft bed, very large closet, and kitchen.

Are there any good places in the Quincy area to view the Boston fireworks? I'd like to see them, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of getting in and out of the city. Thanks.

does anyone here have knowledge about the proposed quarry museum? there's a newspaper article in the Ledger.

i ADORE living history museums, but i'm concerned about the note of in-fighting mentioned in the article.

i might be interested in getting involved, but i don't want to waste my time - it is scarce and precious (it's MY time, you know?).

tks!
