West Roxbury Parkway

The city really needs to put up better signs to the George Wright Golf Course

AlertNewEngland reports the following BPD alert around 10 p.m for West Roxbury Parkway and Washington Street:

Large group of males dueling with golf clubs.

They must have played through, however; they were gone when officers arrived.

Apparently George Wright and McGolf were just a little too far away for them

There were two guys hitting golf balls on the side of the West Roxbury Parkway by Weld Street this afternoon - one of which rolled under our car as we headed toward Roslindale. Idiots.

Poor woman

Flood

Every time there's a heavy rain, this woman, who lives on the southbound side of the VFW Parkway, just past the West Roxbury Parkway, dons her boots and raincoat and goes out with a rake to try to keep the storm drain and "dry" catchbasin outside her house clear, to minimize the damage from flooding. She's been doing that a lot lately.

West Roxbury, South Brookline swept away by flooding, sinkholes

Tammy must have one of those old Amphibicars. How else to explain how she survived flooding and a Florida-style sinkhole on the West Roxbury Parkway near where it meets the VFW Parkway after today's storm?

West Roxbury Parkway speed traps

Charles Glassberg flashes his lights:

Just a reminder to you Boston-area drivers that the traps at the VFW Parkway/West Roxbury Parkway rotary and by the Putterham Golf Course are still in full effect. ...
