Every September 1, Boston transforms into a whirlwind of moving trucks, overflowing dumpsters, and curbside treasures—locals call it 'Allston Christmas.' Students hustle to snag parking and settle in before classes start, while movers work around the clock, sometimes starting at 3 a.m. The chaos isn’t just about the stress—there’s a silver lining for bargain hunters: unwanted furniture and home goods line the streets, free for the taking. But with higher moving costs and gridlocked streets, is the tradition worth the hassle? What’s your best or worst 'Allston Christmas' find? #Education #College #Boston
