Deck, because it's not the same on the upper level as it is on the lower level. Then they'd both be porches, like on this three decker.

Boston, get thee down to the Common to see A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's 30th season of free Shakespeare on the Common. And it's glorious.

And if that occupied way too much of my middle school years, this took up too much of my undergrad years.
A screenshot from a game of Netrek.  The screen is split into four panels.  The two on top are larger, with the one to the left showing the tactical view of the player's spaceship and its immediate vicinity, and the right showing the strategic view of the whole galaxy.  The bottom left panel shows players and scores, the bottom right is a text chat window.

Credit where it's due, Google maps seems to have added hints for which part of the train to sit on for the quickest exit. That's genuinely helpful.

Every day, the @bostonglobe.com finds a way to make me feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind, with nothing more than a headline. What's different is he had a fucking Nazi tattoo on his chest, knowingly for at least, what, 10 years?

Democrats have overlooked candidates’ failings before. What’s different about Graham Platner?
The Senate primary fight in Maine will come down to what voters care about, not what the party establishment and the media tell them they should care about.

I dunno, Jim, we've made it pretty clear we're gonna make it impossible for them to own an house, we're gonna let the world burn rather than accept mild inconvenience, and we're gonna let nazis and billionaires hunt them for sport. I would also not be real worried about a savings account.

4. Hardison: That I don't know what I'm --
