Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I made this comment in another post but thought I'd share here to get more eyes on this:
=====================================================
My kids are on school vacation this week, so we all went to Gillette Stadium (Massachusetts) to see the NE Patriots Museum and the new lighthouse that just opened.
Normally to avoid traffic, you can enter via the south entrance to visit the shopping center and restaurants. I had done this just a few months ago when my son had a nearby practice.
Yesterday we came in from the busy north entrance but when we tried to exit via the south entrance, the security gates were down and the guard said we weren't allowed to exit.
I asked what changed and security mumbled something about "Homeland Security" has it blocked and we had to exit out the north way. 😡
The guy was getting a little irritated that I was questioning the sudden change and was still shouting something as we backed up.
We proceeded to exit via the north and took the next public road on the east side but couldn't see anything obvious through the woods, but Gillette does have a giant Field House that could be used to house a crap ton of people (illegals 🤷♂️) with ample parking and nearby commuter rail service.
Anyone hear anything about Homeland Security running any operations in New England?
