Boston sure is a boring place

That must explain why metro columnists at the Boston Globe keep writing about things happening nowhere near Boston (another example).
Then again, it's not like the paper's metro columnists could really write about the big local story, now could they?

Well, to be fair,
People do get the Globe in Western Mass.
The Globe is still a regional newspaper
and I found that article (about Turners Falls and its airport) well worth reading. It certainly hasn't been reported anywhere else that I've seen.
totally
what's with all this crap about Iraq? And who care what's going on in other cities? This is taking up valuable space we could be devoting to where Jacoby Ellsbury and his girlfriend ate dinner last night.....
There are places for that
They're called the national, sports and lifestyles (or living, or living/arts or food/arts) sections.
Is it too much to ask that the "local/region" section be about Boston and its surrounding region?
Definition of 'region'?
I think it includes Western Mass. Also, the story concerns a state agency, the Mass. Aeronautics Commission.
If you look further into the City & Region section, you'll see stories about Vermont and Connecticut. These also seem appropriate to me.
MA just isn't that big
C'mon, Turner's Falls isn't THAT far away. Some of you city types consider anything outside I-495 a foreign country.
you're being generous, more
you're being generous, more like 128....
