what a stupid poll question. Are you asking about the intersection at Fellsway and Ravine Road? The one that was quoted in an earlier article as having 3 accidents in 3 months and therefore "unsafe"? This closure was a dumb move and is killing everyone coming from 93S. Traffic has backed up at the zoo every day since then, because the small increase in northbound traffic on Woodland road due to …   more ›

Even the military refrains from going full auto on a weapon unless they're pinning someone down. It's just too inaccurate. FACT: a law-abiding, gun-carrying citizen is more likely to hit their target than a police officer, believe it or not.   more ›

I might buy a couple franchises and invest in some community projects. I would help fund …   more ›

Something is very fishy about the owners of Dedstone Plaza. I find it very curious why the left side has been vacated for so long. AMES has ben out for 10 years. Others are in the last 2-3 years. So here is another curious questions... Dunkin Donuts used to be where Five Guys is now. DD left mysteriously. Why would Five Guys move in to gut the place and suffer crapped quarters when the old Baja …   more ›
