Bitching about Boston

We lost a historic landmark-

The fire at The Old Groton Inn Tavern & Grill, which has operated continuously since 1678, caused as much as $2 million in damage,
and none of the building will be salvageable, officials said.

http://www.boston.com/Boston/metrod...-total-loss/BQ9VzBIMo3oZI5Mz1N3NfN/index.html

Built originally in 1678 and formerly known as the Groton Inn, The Groton Inn was accepted on August 3, 1976 for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places
administrated in the Commonwealth by the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

I was listening to a helicopter and wondering why it was circling. No alerts.Following a traffic accident? Another car chase? Someone due to be arrested?

I see that someone complaining is about a convoy of helicopters in West Cambridge. There is a tweet about military helicopters-

Mayor Menino looked like a bad tempered groundhog as he gave a statement-
He mumbled something about 911-

Would someone please explain why it sounds like the Space Shuttle has been landing and taking off from Logan all week?

Black helicopters, no lights, buzzing the tops of city buildings, hovering beside apartment building windows.

10:00 at night. Homeland Security. It is a drill? It is an exercise?

4:00 This afternoon and this is posted-

Military conducting exercises in Boston area

The military has been conducting “urban environment training” exercises in and around Boston in the past two weeks, said Kimberly Tiscione, a military spokesman.

The training began July 25 and will end Friday and is meant to challenge military personnel by exposing them to an area
they are unfamiliar with – such as a city.

No warning in the papers, this time around. Not much said.


U.S. Special Operations Command to train in New Orleans for urban warfare?

U.S. Special Operations Command staffer Kimberly Tiscione!

Black Hawk helicopter? "Little Bird"helicopters? 500 D helicopters?

Boston area not under attack!

**MEDIA ALERT** Military Training Exercises to Take Place In and Around Boston

Joint federal military training exercises will take place within and around the Boston area between July 26th and August 5th. Military personnel will conduct training exercises to ensure the military's ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments, and meet mandatory training certification requirements. Helicopters will be used in some exercises.

The Boston Police Department is working with military personnel to coordinate training sites that will minimize negative impacts on our Boston citizens and their daily routines. Safety precautions have been taken to prevent risk to the general public and the military personnel involved. With that, training site locations are not open to the public and will be guarded by uniformed personnel to provide additional safety.

1974 Nude dancing was legal in Boston

Boston Chinatown Banquet - Combat Zone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhKI8y1r_EQ

The mid- 1980s brought a decline to the Combat Zone.

"The Combat Zone began to form in the early 1960s, when city officials razed the West End and former
red light district at Scollay Square, near Faneuil Hall, to build the Government Center urban renewal project."

"The Combat Zone is an area within Chinatown that is legally zoned as an adult entertainment district. Deriving its name from the port-of-call sailors who frequented Boston for centuries, the Combat Zone was codified and moved to Washington Street to make way for Boston's new City Hall. During its heyday in the 1980's the area featured dozens of clubs and a non-stop night scene that compromised the quality of life in Chinatown. Although the Combat Zone has since declined, due to a combination of community activism, development and the advent of home video, efforts to move it completely have failed."

North Beach Chatham- site of seals and sharks
Lighthouse beach restrictions- just the side where the sharks and seals are


08/16/20

Shark kill close to beach prompts more restrictions in Chatham

The closures include North Beach, North Beach Island, and South Beach, the town harbormaster’s office said in a statement issued Monday afternoon.

Chatham Parks and Recreation Director Dan Tobin said visitors to North Beach Island and harbormaster staff had seen a great white shark attack and kill a seal close to shore.

Swimming at Lighthouse Beach is still banned from 5 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. daily and swimming remains banned when seals -- a favorite food of the fearsome great whites -- are within 300 feet. Tobin said Lighthouse Beach, a popular destination, remains open during the day because staff are able to patrol the water during those hours.

Gregory Skomal, a state marine biologist, said he has not seen an increase in shark activity over the past few days, although a spotter plane pilot working for the state reported seeing great whites off Chatham on Aug. 9 and Aug. 12.

Now I understand why Logan was using it's weird radar last night.
Boston and much of Mass got smacked with torrential rain, lightning
that blew apart chimneys and started fires. Winds that downed trees. Hail.
Looks like Logan got some severe lightning. Don't drive with your top down.
Western Massachusetts probably did not like this, at all.
It's the new normal! Firetrucks and ambulances. Look like rain-plus!
 
Logan adding a $65m runway fail-safe

http://www.boston.com/news/local/ma..._adding_a_65m_runway_fail_safe/?p1=News_links

Logan has a rack record of doing what it wants despite the promises it makes to Boston

Or Logan reverses it's decisions and screws over the people that believe Logan's promises

Logan International Airport has launched a $65 million project that will close the airport’s longest runway for
at least six months and extend it hundreds of feet into Boston Harbor.

Will extend the existing runway safety area 400 feet on a hulking pier upheld by more than 300 concrete pylons
that are being bored into the seabed.

On top of the pier, contractors will extend a specially designed system of “soft concrete’’ designed to stop
an out-of-control jumbo jet moving at 70 knots, one that perhaps has lost its brakes.

Logan did not have additional land to lengthen Runway 33L, which abuts the water.
Logan last month halted all flights landing or taking off from Runway 33L until the end of September.
The runway, which will reopen for use in October but close again next summer, often goes unused this time of year.

Neighbors’ concerns-
The pounding of pile drivers and the arrival and departure of about 1,100 flights a day.
The project is affecting more than an acre of eelgrass, which has become increasingly rare in Boston Harbor
and provides a critical habitat for crabs, lobster, flounder, and other juvenile fish and shellfish.

Kenmore Square T stop
Welcome to Boston. Need the B Line? The D Line? The C Line? Walk.
MBTA You will learn what that means.

Flood history-
From October 4 through 7, 1962, about seven inches of rain fell in greater Boston. The important Green Line Kenmore Station,
with multiple streetcar branch lines, was inundated with flood water. Passengers had to be rescued with rowboats from stranded
streetcars in the branch tunnels west of the station.

03/22/01

Flooding forced the MBTA to halt service on its Fitchburg commuter line between Porter Square and North Station, and then bus riders
between the two stations. The Muddy River began flooding the Kenmore Square station as it did in 1996, forcing a shutdown of
train service between Kenmore and Fenway stations on the Green Line, MBTA spokesman Brian Pedro said.

Kenmore Sq Boston flooding (Other)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_wFmdSqPgA

Filled with 13 feet of water.

The station was closed for two months in 1996, after the Muddy River overflowed its banks,
completely submerging the platform and some of the mezzanine.

I was there when it filled up to the stop step and sloshed over onto the sidewalk.

A microburst with winds up to 60 mph destroyed several campers at City Auto RV on Route3A in Bow on Monday night.

The winds hit around 7 p.m. and left a path of damage measuring nearly 100 yards long and 30 yards wide, said Lee Kimball, the town’s emergency management director.

Stacie Hanes, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said it appears the damage was caused by straight-line winds in a microburst. She said
the weather radar around the time of the storm didn’t show a strong storm in the area.

Western Mass. tallies Irene costs

September 16, 2011

Adams sustained about $2 million in damage, he estimated.

Residents who incurred storm-damage expenses are also eligible for disaster assistance. More than 700 people in Berkshire and Franklin counties have registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has completed 435 inspections, the agency said Wednesday.

The agency has allocated just over $1.3 million in aid for the region to help residents rent housing and defray costs not covered by home insurance.

In Deerfield, waters surged across large swaths of farmland, destroying crops and leaving behind thick layers of silt.

“The damage to properties along the Deerfield River was significant,’’ said Town Administrator Bernard Kubiak. “A lot of topsoil was just washed away. There are fields where you can see the gravel.’’

In Greenfield, officials say the town needs extensive repairs, including renovation of its high school. Repairing the Green River dam alone could cost $6 million, said Mayor William Martin.

The state also has significant repairs to complete. A 6-mile stretch of Route 2 that runs through Florida, Savoy, and Charlemont is closed, with parts of the road washed out and plagued by mudslides. Route 8 in Clarksburg is closed for about 400 feet, with work delayed by recent rains.

The work is expected to be finished soon.

In towns that depend on fall tourism, the road damage has reduced expectations for the season.

WBZ radio 90 years old!

A walk down memory lane on the Greater Boston show-

WBZ's new hire, Gary LaPierre was in the same age group as the Beatles.

Gary's assignment was to spend 24 hours with the Beatles. 1964 and
he met the Beatles out at the Hanscom Field (then) military base,
for an interview. (Bedford. Mass.)

Logan airport could not defend the Beatles from all the fans.

The Beatles went to the Boston Madison Square Garden (Boston Garden)
and they talked together at the Boston Madison Hotel.

(In 1928 Rickard built "Boston Madison Square Garden." The name got clipped to Boston Garden.)

The Beatles gave a press conference from the Madison Room at Boston's Hotel Madison on September 12th, 1964.

Boston's Mayor Thomas M. Menino declared yesterday “WBZ Radio Day’’ in Boston as WBZ-AM, the city’s oldest radio station
and the first commercially licensed station in America, celebrated its 90th birthday.

Carl de Suze, “the voice of New England,’’ into the WBZ Radio Hall of Fame.
De Suze was a broadcaster for WBZ for nearly 40 years; he died in 1998.

"When WBZ first went on the air we couldn’t even toast our debut, as prohibition made that kind of celebration illegal.
WBZ in Springfield was the first radio station to receive a commercial license. The first live broadcast of WBZ was -
September 19th, 1921."

Boston Court Ruling Affirms Citizens' Right To Record Officials
Sept. 23, 2011

Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking through the Boston Common on the night of October 1, 2007, when he stumbled upon
what he described as an unbelievable situation: Three Boston police officers forcefully wrangling, punching and trying to
hold down a young man.

"I saw him just being in a choke hold, being punched and looking like he was in tremendous agony. I wasn't sure what
was going on, but I knew if I were to tell that to someone, no one would believe me," Glik said.

So Glik whipped out his cell phone and started recording what to him appeared to be police using excessive force.
And that's where his troubles began.

"They arrested him and they looked at me and said, 'Well, you've had enough.' By that time I think I had stopped taking any video," said Glik.

But it was his next sentence that got him arrested.

"I said, 'I saw you guys punch him.' Once they heard that, they got immediately very angry and sort of got in a huddle for a couple of seconds
and then they informed me that I was under arrest. I said, 'What for?' And they said, "Wiretapping," Glik said.

But last year, Glik filed a civil rights lawsuit against the three police officers and the City of Boston,
insisting his right to free speech had been violated and that he was arrested without probable cause.

The police argued immunity, claiming they were working in their official capacity and that they had been
poorly trained on the law. But the court didn't buy it.
