Not In Westwood Proper

Must be Islington (or as natives call it, Sling-town) area; power on here.

Islington

Years ago when I rode the Franklin Line out to Norwood, you could see that the letter "I" had been removed from the station signs at the Islington stop. How many people knew that part of Westwod as "slington"?

Power's now out by Faulkner Hospital

Not powerless

West Medford, parts of South Medford, and areas of Somerville.

I'm able to correspond, so it isn't out in my area of Medford just yet.

What part of Somerville?

Power is still on here in Davis Square, and I didn't see any outages between Market Basket and here tonight.

In south medford last night

In south medford last night we had a single blip and then the power came back on and stayed. Didn't realize it was worse elsewhere.

In Boston, Calumet/Darling Streets

Power outage in Mission Hill. Supposedly accidental, and due to downed wires.

riiiiight

weird how tonight we're having all these downed wires all of the sudden

Doubting a conspiracy

By adamg on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 10:57pm.

More likely wires already hot from the heat wave are catching on fire due to the additional heat caused by all the demand.

that's what I meant

By Brett on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 11:06pm.

Sorry- pictured a car "accident" or someone asserting that it had no cause.

Ah!

By adamg on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 11:08pm.

Sorry, heat must be affecting my brain.

same here

My friend

lives on that street. He saw the wires down & called me asking if he could stay cool at my place. But obviously, that just means the electric company got to him & gave him the story of downed power lines.

Dorchester Ave. in South Boston
