Car burns up on Massachusetts Turnpike / I-90
Saturday, August 21st, 2010
While driving eastbound on the Mass Turnpike on Saturday August 21 we were passed by a Natick firetruck in the right lane. It turned out to be racing towards a car on fire in the westbound lane, more or less halfway between the Weston barracks and the Framingham exit. When we passed the scene, maybe [...]

Accident on I-90: Flip that SUV!
Sunday, July 4th, 2010
There was on accident on the westbound I-90/Massachusetts Turnpike about a mile east of the Natick exit/Route 30 on Friday July 2, 2010.
We were first alerted that something was going on when a couple of unmarked State police cruisers came flying down the left lane (where they were naturally slowed down by Massholes who paid [...]

Boston population estimates for 2001-2009.
Friday, July 2nd, 2010
What was Boston’s population in 2005? That depends on when you asked the question.
Last week the United States Census Bureau released its latest population estimate for cities and towns with at least 100,000 people. The estimate for Boston was 645,000, crowning a rather spectacular turnaround for the estimate of the city’s population size. The table [...]

Boston beggars its neighbors’ children
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010
The City of Boston wants more money from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In a report released on April 21 the city argues that it should get more state aid because:
1) Its share of the state’s population (9.5%, according to the report) exceeds its share “net state aid” (8.4%).
2) Its share of the state’s economy exceeds its [...]

Boston’s childless population growth?
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
An interesting nugget from the student poverty rate for school districts in Massachusetts that I posted yesterday: Boston’s 2008 population is listed as 625,000, about 12,000-16,000 more than the usual Federal population estimates for the city, and about 35,000 more than in 2000, yet less than the 630,000 that City Hall claims in a challenge [...]

For Lease: Newbury Street the Summer of 2009
Monday, July 20th, 2009
I took a stroll down Newbury Street in Back Bay in Boston the day before Independence Day. It was a beautiful day and Newbury Street was the bustling happening street one would expect it be, but there were also rather sad signs of the recession stumbling through. Blow are pictures of a few storefronts between [...]
