Deep city politics cut: we didn’t even vote Frank Baker back onto the city council! Neponset gets its one crusty aggrieved white councilor, and that’s all!

Also my real lithicist friends would be a bit more conservative in their identification here. I've ID'd it as a middle-paleo Michaud-Neponset type, but honestly with this little of the point that's getting ahead of my skis

Current status of the Neponset Greenway Trail extension construction project - It looks like they’re getting ready to install the posts for the elevated boardwalk.

My uncle was a teacher. During the summer months, he worked a concession stand at a drive-in. Not Neponset. My mother would load us up in our Rambler & off we'd go. I think some of us hid in the back to avoid paying. 😇

Would-be rescuers spent nearly 2 hours trying unsuccessfully to convince a beaver that clambered up from the Neponset River at Lower Mills, Massachusetts to go back into the river. It simply stood still with a “Please don’t stereotype me” expression on its face.

Yes we need wider bike lanes, less car lanes, and more cyclists that keep the pace of bike lanes more managed so speed demons aren't endangering bikers
There was a well intentioned opinion piece in the Globe recently that said ebikes should be in car lanes. Noooooo! I belong in a bike lane

One of about a thousand similar beautiful scenes on my commute home by bike along the Harborwalk trail and The Neponset Trail. So much better for mental health vs being in soul sucking traffic on 93.

I attended this meeting virtually LN and they said the PCP contamination of the Neponset River is at the level of one of the top 5 in the country. They’ll be removing sediment and bank dirt starting with phase 1 in Hyde Park ASAP.
