Low tide exposes the mudflats at Port Norfolk so you can see the remains of the wooden pilings showing just how far out the old shipping piers used to stretch. It used to be a working port!

@dotnews.bsky.social so now that people pass by the Rainbow Swash tank on the new Neponset Greenway extension they ask us, “What does Extreme Housekeeping mean?” and jokingly note how their homes need some extreme housekeeping too. Is this something the Reporter might be able to find out about?

There’s barbed wire to keep people from climbing on the Baker Dam and getting hurt. It’s kind of interesting to frame the mill buildings with it. And it’s a reminder that until relatively recently much of the river has been fenced off to keep people away.
