My Third Saturn And Certainly Not My Last

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 21:26:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - Well, here we go again. The lease was up on our dark red 1999 SL1, which replaced the silver plum 1998 SL1, which got totaled in two successive accidents in two successive weekends. The silver plum choice was not my best hour--it was that or a bilious...

Saturn: An honest new car dealership.

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 11:36:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - Three years ago I found myself in desperate need of a car. My '97 Toyota Camry, which had its engine "rebuilt" finally cracked the head and wasn't worth fixing.

Having heard so much about Saturns I called the dealership in Quincy and an...

Yo! Sal & Vinnie: Yiz do nice work.

Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:51:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - The Bride (always with a capital B) and I went with another couple on evening on a whim. It turned out to be a rather expensive whim but worth the price. The prices on the menu were, I thought, a bit high. After the meal, although I thoroughly enjoyed...

Food should NOT be as expensive as the paintings.

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 14:13:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - What a charming idea The Bride had: let's go to the Museum of Fine Arts on Tuesday when admission is free and have lunch in their cafeteria. "Lovely, perfect", I thought. I hadn't been to the Museum in too many years and this was a wonderful idea...

Won't go there again

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 19:21:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - If you're very yuppy and are out to impress yourself, your date and those around you, Siro's is THE place to do it. Assuming of course, that you care more for your appearance than for your palate.

The view of the harbor is lovely...

Anthony's Pier 4? Not with a gun to my head!

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 21:29:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - Having been to Anthony's a number of times I decided after the last visit that it would be just that: the last visit.

My sister and I took my mother there for Mother's Day. It was an important event for us because my brother had died eight...

My Second One--Not My Last One

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 11:54:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - I began with a '98 SL1 and was absolutely delighted. Some of the standard features were options on other cars: trunk light; delayed interior light; keyless remote door and trunk entry. At first I thought they were trying to be cheap by using plastic...

Woodman's? I love it!

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 13:34:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - I've been to Woodman's so many times I've lost count. The trip is always the same: marvelous. The place is completely unpretentious. Booths and tables with formica tops. Some of the chairs match, some don't. So what? They have the obligatory fish...

Dodge Stratus? Only in a pinch.

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 11:51:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - I rented a Dodge Stratus for a week while my Saturn SL1 was in the body shop (accident was NOT my fault--hit and run while in a parking lot). I was very pleased with the treatment and service I got from Enterprise Rent-a-Car but the Dodge Stratus...

My Experiences at Noceras

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 21:20:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - My wife and I, as well as many family members have been to Noceras often. The portions are very large and the service is prompt. Salads are standard salads but fresh and attractively presented. Appetizers are standard appetizers and are well...

Wyndham: Two Weekends at the Wyndham, Westboro, Mass.

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 21:18:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author masonmaven - Both stays at the Wyndham were very nice, indeed. The staff was courteous and friendly and helpful, although one of them wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. I went as part of an organization which paid for most of the room charges. The girl...
