ReplyThis is a much better explanation for all the police cars on Sturges & Wason St on Monday afternoon! I assumed a car crash until my neighbor told me they were filming at the intersection on Monday!

On the article Dunkin' Brands Takes Stand Against Obamacare

ReplyWhat we have for the US, is what we have had in MA for many years. It is the opportunity for all people to get healthcare, regardless of pre-existing conditions (try living in another state and finding out you, a perfectly healthy 35 year old, have cancer, and suddenly no one will cover you and no one will treat you, because you don't have health insurance). It means that all businesses will be on an equal playing field, because it won't be just the "nice guys" that provide healthcare for their employees, it will be all businesses. It will also mean that tax payers & the insured will stop paying for the uninsured to be treated for emergencies in the emergency rooms, because everyone will be covered by insurance. It means that it will be a little harder for selfish people to get rich off of desperately poor people, they will have to play with the same rules as people who care about the welfare of others.

ReplyI would call DPW about those bridges, 781-393-2417, but I suspect that they might actually fall under MBTA. Calling and asking for an area to be cleared frequently works to bump it up the list.

ReplyIn Medford, there is a City Ordinance that you must shovel the sidewalk in front of your home and business. This is important because unshoveled-sidewalks cause a safety hazard, particularly for children and elderly. Sidewalks that aren't being shoveled can be reported to (781) 393-2507, and the Code Enforcement Officer prefers to give warnings, but will give a $50 ticket if necessary. Please be a good neighbor!

ReplyThis sounds like a great event. I wish I could go this afternoon. I'd love some tips on getting my picky eaters to eat veggies too. Perhaps someone could post lessons learned in the Patch afterwards?

On the article Why You May Not Have Felt the Oct. 16 Earthquake

ReplyThank you for providing some insight into the discrepancies between why some people felt the earthquake and others did not. For those of us who are not used to earthquakes, it is a very intriguing phenomena. I had assumed that the people who hadn't felt it were all doing things like driving or exercising!
