Arent they still there, on the assembly row side - i use to fish down there when i really wanted to get a line in the water or have some alone time. It was sort of gross but also interesting scene. I would definitely see people keeping fish from there. Also lots of carp in there which are fun on the fly. My mother said growing up Monsanto would let out plumes of smoke and a perfectly sunny day would go dark.

Ask for it back via email. If they decline follow up w a reminder that its not a legal and you would like a refund of the fee cc’ing the AG and anyone else that has over site. Id also recommend reaching out to the AG’s office for clarity and guidance.

I 100% disagree with anyone that thinks this isn’t worth fighting for. You owe them nothing, avoiding the hassle of sticking up for your rights will only perpetuate this practice.

I agree medford has so much potential but Medford is a weird city. Ive been here over 25 years and the only noticeable change in that time is the new police station and the library which was a gift from mayor Bloomberg. I have never sensed a broad sense of community in medford nor found any city agency to be very helpful or forward thinking. I wont get started on the police but man are they gonna be pissed getting pulled away from their flag detail for this. My sense is the city is run by an old bloc that is more concerned with staying in charge than having an appetite for progress. It reminds me very much of the towns in the Merrimack valley.

As far as the HS, there has seemingly always been violence there as far back as the early 90’s . I felt bad driving by all the students walking home after hearing the news. They certainly deserve better, at a minimum they deserve a safe place to learn. I think its a symptom of weak local leadership and government that is adverse to change and has historically lacked a vision for the city

Harborview in Edgartown is cozy in the winter

He doesn’t have the charisma to run for national office. He’s too dull and safe and doesn’t really seem to stand for anything. He’d be drowned out by the loons.
