Downtown Neighborhood
Clean-Up Day
April 24, 2010 at 9AM

There were some really hard-working people out Saturday. Great thanks to everyone!
Some neighbors who have been her for awhile…

And some wonderful students from UML made their way all along the Riverwalk and Lucy Larcom Park…

And some neighbors who have not even moved in yet. Steve Carlin
Park Supervisor, MA Dept. of Conservation and Recreation who will be moving into the Mack Building in June brought along a group of volunteers and made our little sanctuary The Victorian Garden as beautiful as it has ever been.

HOW WILL HEALTHCARE CHANGE FOR YOU?

Posted on March 23, 2010 | Leave a comment

There are some things the SUN does well; city council election coverage for instance.

Today they have posted a “HEALTHCARE AND YOU” SECTION AT
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/specials/interactives/wdc/healthcare/index.html?SITE=MALOW&SECTION=HOME
that contains scenerios how Healthcare reform will affect individuals.
And I will not even fault them for not coming close to a scenerio that fits my own life because I see this as a valuable tool for understanding the changes.
