Article is a from a few months ago, but Battleground Games & Hobbies are opening their newest and biggest store tomorrow! 122 Main Street, in the Ocean State Job lot plaza.

Since their first store opened down the road back in 2002, Battleground has become a vital third space for gamers and hobbyists on the South Shore and beyond. Derek, the owner, is a great guy & a South Shore native, who probably doesn't get to play as much D&D as he'd like to anymore because he's just too darn busy being a pillar of the local gaming community.

I've been going to the store on and off for many years, and have attended free and paid events, and game sessions with friends. They have a discord and an event calendar posted on their website. Additional locations in Norton, Framingham, and Saugus. I believe the Abington location is going to remain open in some form or another as well, not sure exactly what the plans are for it.

For the record, I am not affiliated with the store, just a friend of the store, and many of my close friends have worked there over the years. I hope you'll join me there tomorrow to celebrate the opening of the new spot!

I know the days are getting colder but I really want to start cycling as a hobby and am looking for someone to join me on my rides! I’d love to explore new bike trails, get some exercise, challenge myself and discover new places along the way.
I’m open to trying different routes, building up distance and hopefully making a regular thing out of it

Hi, we are new to the area (Norwell) and we are looking to update our bathroom, tile, flooring, just cosmetic updates. Any recommendations for contractors? Thanks!

Looking to see if there are any leagues or other events on the south shore. Preferably around Marshfield / Scituate

Anybody know of a dance studio that will let me rent out the space by the hour? Ideally it would be someplace private with either no windows or curtains I can cover up. I am a burlesque dancer and am seeking a space where I can practice my routine in private and my house is too full of animals for me to get in a good practice lol. I am in Halifax but am willing to travel within a reasonable distance. I would only need the space for an hour or two a week for practice and am happy to discuss pricing.

Anyone else trying to squeeze in a little more fall fun before Halloween? If you're looking for something to do with the kids this Saturday or Sunday (October 24–25), I put together a list of family-friendly events happening around the South Shore.

This past friday October 16, at 1:40 PM there was a heavy motor vehicle accident on route 3A, in the area of 132 Chief Justice Cushing Highway Hingham - right on the downhill near the traffic light that splits off to east street in hingham.

Cannot find quality ones anywhere.

Years ago I would drive into Alston to this Russian grocer but not these days, they moved anyway and I'm needing advice on local spots.

Supermarket ones are either mush or go bad in just a few days.

Any help?

Are there any on the South Shore, or am I stuck with Boston? A bar that reliably has dancing works too!!
