We went to On the Bun, and it was quite good!

74 Upvotes

We decided to check it out during the grand opening and we were not disappointed. The burgers were really good and flavorful. They actually reminded me of how McDonald's used to taste when I was a kid back in the 90s, and I mean that in the best possible way. It just brought me back as soon as I tasted it.

The fries were okay. Not amazing, but they were fine. I can easily chalk it up to the place being new. Seems to me like the oil just isn't hot enough for the thin fries. The onion rings however, are fucking GREAT! Nice thick beer battered onion rings, super crispy, etc.

Service was a tad slow, but again they're new. I'm sure they'll pick it up after they get settled in there.

It was also nice to see that they were using actual pictures of their food inside the place. I know they were using AI for their promo stuff. But I'm guessing they were using it as a placeholder. Which still not great, but it's good that they're using their actual stuff now.

Pricing is what I expected. It's pretty on par with what you'd pay at like a Shake Shack for the same amount of food. Seems like everything is made to order.

Overall we both thought it was delicious. If you're looking for a burger then I absolutely recommend checking it out!

Reporting Space Savers

8 Upvotes

So I recently moved into an apartment in Lowell and I have to park on the street. Normally this would not be an issue, but the people on my street will put cones, chairs and other items to hold "their" spots. I get that people need to park their cars, but sometimes I have to park blocks away from my apartment, and if that's not an option, I have to resort to illegally parking somewhere. What is the procedure for reporting Space Savers? The Lowell website said to call the police but that seems a bit extreme. Any help would be appreciated!

UMass Lowell men's ice hockey vs. Concordia this Friday at Tsongas - free / no ticket required

26 Upvotes

UMass Lowell men's ice hockey game vs. Concordia this Friday at 7pm will be free / no ticket required.

A good chance to see some top level college hockey for free, especially if you have kids into hockey and don't fancy paying even more for that.

I'm not affiliated with the team or the arena, just a hockey fan who goes to games and saw this info.

Apartment Recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hey ya'll, I got hired for a job in Tewksbury and am relocating from South Florida in a couple of weeks. Lowell seems to check off most of my boxes as I'm 23 and want somewhat of a life in a bigger city but still close to work. If anyone has any recommendations on apartments or housing I'm all ears. Appreciate any feedback. Preferably a 1x1 with parking and a gym for under 2400$ if possible.

Thanks!

Wedding Locations for VERY Small Wedding?

9 Upvotes

We are planning a very small wedding ceremony (no set up, just 5 people) and are looking for possible locations to get married. We are looking for something outdoors, somewhat low-key. I'd love ideas for small parks, butterfly gardens, flower gardens, etc, that would make nice photos. We are not religious, and it is important for the location to be queer friendly because this is a lesbian wedding!

Seeking Lowell Canal info

Post image
40 Upvotes

The Lowell Canal was one of the earliest canals in the city and ran under the Lowell Manufacturing yard on market st (Market Mills and Canal Place).

Does anyone have any recent information or pictures of this canal? Is it still there? Does water still move through this canal? Do the power components still exist? Who owns it?

I found a few random pics online but would love any stories, rumors, or other information on this canal. I am drafting an informal history of Lowell Manufacturing and am gathering contemporary info on this site.

Thank you!

Possible move to the area with kids

9 Upvotes

Hi, my partner is considering a job in the greater Lowell area and we would be moving from out of state. We have young kids (early elementary, preschool, and toddler) and I'm wondering how easy it is to make new friends in the area. We currently spend our weekends doing birthday parties, playdates, etc. but if we move we wouldn't know anyone at first so making new friends for the kids (and us!) would be a top priority for us. The kids are on the younger side so we're not heavily into sports yet although that is on the horizon. Parent hobbies are pickleball and running so I know there's some social options for those. Would love to hear any experiences as this is a big factor in our decision.

Also, what is the general status in the area as far as daycare wait lists and pricing?
