A very poignant ribbon cutting today for the long-awaited Stephen Odom Serenity Garden in #Dorchester . Stephen was tragically killed at age 13 on Oct. 4, 2007. "His spirit is finally at rest here." Ron Odom. @BostonParksDept @BillForry @DotNews @StacoS

Some really wild sunsets this week. Red sky at night, sailors delight? I dunno... 🤔

September.

The Trung Thu Together event from @BosLittleSaigon has been moved to Oct. 3, 3-8pm on Town Field.

My recent @BostonIrishRptr piece on the 3 Gillen brothers of #Charlestown is worth a read. From modest beginnings in St. Mary's Parish Solely St to doing noteworthy things. A great #IrishAmerican city story. @bostoncatholic @USSConstitution @USNavy @Charlestown_MA @lionsclubs

The #CaboVerde community in #Dorchester came together last night on Bowdoin St to remember the 25 lost in a school bus accident this month on Fogo island. Many here lost family members, friends. @CaboVerde_Gov @cvaboston @DotNews @CGCVBoston

Was thinking today about covering Sept. 11, 2001 #911Remembrance today & it still hits hard. Also about Marianne MacFarlane, a flight attendant on United 175 headed on vacation. Imagine? No one knew what would happen next that week; children were scared. @Sept11Memorial

Protests are going strong on Blue Hill Ave ahead of the planned meeting w/city officials at 6p on new designs for the corridor that include a center running bus lane. Meeting: Morningstar Baptist, 1257 BHA. 6pm @DotNews @BillForry

Here in Florian now. Guests arriving, re-arriving

The @nickcollinsma party has moved in real time from the McKeon Post to Florian Hall. McKeon wanted to go home. @President_L718 knew a guy w/a key. Florian Hall it is. Race still too close to call. 35 years, first time seeing a mobile results party.
