Just Across The River Is A Massachusetts City With Quaint Shops, Tasty Eats, And Quick Train Access Into Boston

Boston is home to one of the top five largest metro areas in the U.S. according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and that population sprawl extends into nearby communities that offer city amenities with a smaller town feel. Chelsea — which has a considerable immigrant population, mouthwatering food, and colorful storefronts — is one of those quaint cities. Part of what makes Chelsea so appealing is how easy it is to reach from Boston. In just a 10-minute train ride, visitors can immerse themselves in an entirely new city.

The day after Thanksgiving, some Massachusetts kids board a train in their pajamas and get golden tickets punched. Then Santa walks the aisle and hands each child a sleigh bell. That surprised me, because I figured holiday trains waited until mid-December. Nope. Several rides kick off their festive season right...

More than 2 in 5 Massachusetts drivers failed the road test last year, a record high

Data: Massachusetts RMV via Zutobi; Chart: Mike Deehan/Axios Over 40% of Massachusetts road tests ended in failure last year, according to an analysis from driving-test prep company Zutobi. Why it matters: It's the highest rate in at least 11 years of state records. The failure rate has been creeping upward over the last decade. What they found : Zutobi reviewed Registry of Motor Vehicles data on over 4 million Class D tests from 2015 through 2025, including over 1.5 million road tests. In 2025, 42.2% of road tests were failed, up from around 31% a decade before. The passing rate slid from 69.04% to 57.76% from 2015 to 2025. The big picture: The decline is persistent. The failure rate rose in eight of the 10 years covered since 2015, dipping only in 2019 and 2023. Road tests peaked at 219,648 in 2024, more than double the total in 2022. Yes, but: The success rate for written learner's permit exams skyrocketed during the pandemic. The written failure rate dropped from 41.5% in 2019 to just 14.2% in 2022. That's after the RMV began allowing online testing in June 2020. It went back up to roughly 28% in 2023. Last year 27%

Kids Who Love Trains Will Lose Their Minds Over These 5 Massachusetts Rail Experiences

One railroad in this state runs past cranberry bogs and dunes that you can only reach by rail. That alone made me grin like a kid holding a toy whistle. The fun keeps going from there. Families can ride behind a steam-powered locomotive, sit in train cars around 100 years old, or press buttons that send model trains rolling around tiny tracks.

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.
