dancerjodiA cabbie chases down a purse snatcher and a man is stuck inside of a chimney for days: link 1
A long-standing community hospital is closed down (where my Grandmother, my parents and I was born), the city elects its first woman mayor, Hardy Pond is *finally* dredged and Raytheon comes back: link 2
A random note about Hardy Pond: when Brian was still vending at Fantasy Factory once a month we met a man from Waltham who was active in the Hardy Pond Committee (he asked us where we were located while he perused stuff at the table). He bought a bunch of stuff from Brian, and then called months later about some braided leather on the handle of a flogger that had come undone. Since we were local, I drove Brian over there so that he could re-braid it.
It was interesting meeting this kinky couple that was politically active in our city (and closeted to their neighbors). He commented how he had suspended his wife from the ceiling using the restraints that Brian made (doh - they aren't meant for that, they weren't LBD style AT ALL, just plain ole restraints). She sat there sweetly smiling through the story and then invited us for a turkey dinner. :)
