Harbor Towers (9.98 mi), East India Row, Boston MA photographed from Buck Hill.

To the right is Mt Hood in Melrose MA. On top of it is Slayton Tower (16.5 mi), also sometimes referred to as Mt Hood Tower, 100 Slayton Rd which is dwarfed by a large cell tower (16.69 mi) behind it. Both towers are on the property of the Mt Hood golf course. I have been told that Slayton Tower can be visited and climbed during normal hours of operation for the golf course, though I have not visited yet.

To the left of the left Harbor Tower, the last few steel truss sections of the Maurice J Tobin Memorial Bridge (11.94 mi), Chelsea MA can be seen. The bridge connects US Route 1 between Boston and Chelsea. The portion that can be seen from Buck Hill are the last truss sections on the Chelsea side.

MASSACHUSETTS! WE'RE NEXT!

Heads up! Boston City Hall is preparing for a ICE/DHS/CBP surge and observers report an uptick in activity around the Burlington ICE facility suggestive of an imminent surge, including the delivery of new vehicles. Observers report sightings at Alewife and MGH.

Somerville is not satisfied with stealing marshmallow fluff glory away from Lynn.

Now they're Columbus-ing pupusas from Chelsea and East Boston, where they've been familiar and delicious for decades.

Pupusas are very much "on the map" unless your nose is glued to a sidewalk in Union Square. How about doing something original for once? Hipster assholes 😆

Interesting story about the rescue of a #Boston area community's history. Originally carved by a woodworker born in #Ukraine. A beautiful Torah ark.

Attendance in the public schools of Chelsea, MA, a small city outside Boston, has dropped by over 500 students this year. This decline appears to be due to fear brought on by Trump's immigration policies.

Our once-vibrant neighborhoods are filled with dread: Kids are afraid to go to school, parents are afraid to go to work.
