MOVING TO #BostonMA -- A THREAD 🧵
1. Everyone is moving in Boston this week (9/1)-- its #AllstonChristmas!! That means free stuff (on the curb) time!! Dont grab anything with bedbugs... bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/08/…

2. 60-80% of Leases in #BostonMA turn over on September 1st due to the large amount of college students coming to the city: bostonglobe.com/2022/08/30/bus…

3. DON'T BE THAT GUY/GAL!!! Someone always tries to drive a box truck on storrow drive when moving, but there is a bridge that is too short. Unless you'd like to create traffic for hours...don't. cbsnews.com/boston/news/st…

4. Try to get your items into a short-term storage unit. If you have to move day-of, pack+label everything in advance, bring a foldable utility cart/dolly for boxes, pack snacks+water, get a parking permit, bring a 📞 charger, #BostonMA #AllstonChristmas olympiamoving.com/boston-moving-…

5. REDUCE AND REUSE -- Those moving in/out of #BostonMA, please consider donating items to any of the many thrift stores and @GoodwillBoston stores instead of putting items curbside. The @CityOfBoston has a great guide for residents: boston.gov/environment-an… #AllstonChristmas

6. The @CityOfBoston has a moving guide that is helpful too: boston.gov/moving #AllstonChristmas #BostonMA

7. Did you pack a small bag of toiletries and clothing? Did you forward your mail? Did you activate your utilities? Did you buy your monthly @MBTA pass? Did you NOT piss off your new neighbors? bostonpads.com/blog/moving/ul…

8. Congrats on moving into your new expensive old drafty apartment that has hardly any parking and has fuses instead of circuit breakers 🤣 Make sure you keep a shovel and de-icing salt for your walkways for winter snowstorms. More tips:
