Tax breaks for jobs not working out too well in Massachusetts

By adamg on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 11:15am

Companies keep tax breaks even as they shed jobs, Globe reports:

Hundreds of the projects delivered fewer jobs than promised, and some companies actually slashed employment. Many firms won subsidies for projects they were set to build without state assistance; in some cases, incentives that were approved long af ter the projects were underway or complete. And many got generous packages though they agreed to create only a handful of low-paying jobs.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting, especially Crazy Ming

By adamg on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 1:20pm

Chinatown Blogger recalls Ngau Ming, or, in English, Crazy Ming, probably one of the neighborhood's top kung-fu fighters - who didn't mind getting into fights at the local bars:

... When I met him I realized more clearly why it was easy for him to get into a fight. He had a crazy stare that just looked off and made you nervous even if you were his friend. Whether he was born like that or became like that over a lifetime or a combination of both is unknown to me. ...

By adamg on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 9:56am

Ross Levanto notes he can now sleep in on Saturdays if he'd parked his car on Beacon Street the night before, thanks to a change in the city's parking rules for the street. It's no small thing in the over-parked neighborhood:

... The local Beacon Hill Civic Association has a parking committee, with a charter that basically boils down to preservation of the precious parking spaces. Generally speaking, if you find an open parking spot on Beacon Hill, the driver has to assume there is something wrong with it. After deftly performing a parallel park into an open space, I get out of the car and spend a few minutes investigating the spot. I generally follow a mental checklist ...
