#Lakeville and #Farmington #MN what the fuck is in the air?

For miles, we smelled zippo lighter fuel.

Maybe don’t smoke until it clears?

Brockton City Hall (9.58 mi), 45 School St, Brockton MA and Avon Baptist Church (5.9 mi), 119 N Main St, Avon MA photographed from Buck Hill.

The rectangular structure to the left of the Brockton City Hall spire is actually part of a different building, Douglas House, 20 Haverhill St, Brockton MA. To the left of that, the very top of the spire of Keys of the Kingdom, 33 Main St, Brockton MA. And to the left of city hall, on the horizon, is what appears to be a very rectangular manmade structure which I believe is the top of one of the now abandoned buildings beloning to the former Lakeville State Hospital (24.5 mi), 43 Main St, Lakeville MA. I have read accounts from urban explorers that venture to the roof of this tallest building (it is seven stories) and mention that the Boston skyline can be seen, so it makes sense that this building would be visible from the Blue Hills also.

The red helicopter skimming the roof of my house and backyard was disconcerting until I read this article. FYI to anyone in the Plymouth County, Massachusetts area...
