Just Across The River Is A Massachusetts City With Quaint Shops, Tasty Eats, And Quick Train Access Into Boston
Boston is home to one of the top five largest metro areas in the U.S. according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and that population sprawl extends into nearby communities that offer city amenities with a smaller town feel. Chelsea — which has a considerable immigrant population, mouthwatering food, and colorful storefronts — is one of those quaint cities. Part of what makes Chelsea so appealing is how easy it is to reach from Boston. In just a 10-minute train ride, visitors can immerse themselves in an entirely new city.

The rat problem is out of control
I have lived on Beacon Hill for many years but the rat infestation is now worse than ever. We have rat holes in our building’s front garden that neither baited boxes nor carbon monoxide seem to mitigate the problem. The rats are under cars, climbing onto car tires to escape from dogs, eating garden plants and without any fear of humans. In the October 22 meeting, City Councilor Flynn called for a rat Czar to be hired and held accountable for our City’s rat issue – Boston being amongst the 10 most rat-infested cities in America. At the meeting, residents spoke vociferously about trash being put out the night before for the nocturnal rodents to feast upon. (Yes, “feast” was the word most often used). Why are white lightweight kitchen bags permitted rather than steel bags? Barrels would be best but buildings don’t have the storage capability. Of significance, is that the City contract with Capital Waste Services has a 6 am scheduled pick up when most residents are still asleep. Why not change the city contract pick up time to 8 am and give violations for any overnight trash? Can the City not exercise their muscle to revise the next contract accordingly? Residents had many questions and were upset with the City’s lack of progress.
