Why do they have to shut down?
Several MBTA workers have tested positive and the masks required policy is a joke and we don't shut down the MBTA.
Oh no!
They're stringent with reservations, distancing, and masks too. Hope this person shakes it off.
I've been able to substitute a CA flight with a NJ road trip, and baseball is a farce this year anyway, so the greatest tragedy for summer leisure is that I've been paddling precisely twice, and it's already August.
They have other locations
I don't think they closed the one on the Mystic River near Medford Square.
Kendall Square
I drove past the Kendall Square location, and it was busy. They also have a location in Waltham and two in Newton (which are very nice). I believe that all of them are open except the Brighton location.
On it
I’ll try to snare an evening slot this week.
Good for them
Good that they are open about it...
To paraphrase
"Catching covid? That's a no paddling."
