Giant turkeys roaming Southie? Yawn. Jason reports the 11 bus had to come to an unexpected stop on Dorchester Street on Tuesday:

Third Decade reports spotting one on West Cottage Street between Dudley Street and Blue Hill Avenue today:

Gobble, gobble, hey!

We need a Turkey Alert level- there are even colors picked for us, according to the article: blue, white, and red. Suggestions for how to word the various alert levels?
