So how do you react when you think your Flintstones chewable vitamins have been tampered with? Of course! You do the same exact thing. What could be more natural?

Weird: Boston owns 200 acres of parkland in Burlington and Woburn
Back in 1930, somebody gave Boston 200 acres of land in the two suburbs on the condition the city maintain it forever as "a public pleasure ground."
Only now Boston seems to want to sell off the land either as a subdivision or a golf course, according to Friends of the Cummings Park, which notes the city took $141,000 out of the park trust fund last year to pay a subdivision surveyor and $13,000 for legal fees this year - while spending absolutely nothing to maintain the land as a park.
Patrick O'Reilly: Mayor Menino, Please don't sell our park!

Maybe someday people will be recalling the days they could ski down the Great Blue Hill.

It's no longer time to Stop & Shop, at least for him
Brian Kane reports he was too grossed out by the produce department at the Woburn Stop & Shop to ever go back:
