BREAKING: The #NERevs have not only score TWO whole goals (intentionally this week) but won a game, 2-1 (at home, no less). In all honesty a good performance, and a deserved win.

Per @mayorwu.boston.gov at the Charlestown community meeting about the proposed #NERevs Everett soccer stadium: "To this date, I still have not gotten a call from the Krafts.” Adds that "we’re going to need to see more details from them.”
