Opposed to 74 Revere Street development
I am writing to oppose the A-26-36 submitted to the zoning board by Basilio DiFlumeri in regards to the property at 74 Revere Street. This house was purchased by my great grandparents in 1900. It is where my grandparents also lived and raised my mom and her siblings. It was the place where all the cousins would get together. So, yes I have a strong attachment to this home. With that said, the new owner wants to get a permit to build a 10-unit, 4 story apartment building on that lot. If he gets that permit, his next step would be to apply for a permit to demolish this beautiful, 126-year-old Queen Anne Victorian home.

Disgraced ex-cop Matthew Farwell was convicted Tuesday by a Boston jury for killing 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child.

A small Mass. town faces a very big data center debate
Hey Massachusetts Politicos, It's Katie, Margie's editor, filling in as she's taking a much-deserved break after all the election coverage last week. With the election buzz still happening after the blue wave during the midterms, you might have seen that the freshman representatives heads to Washington D.C. for their orientation. Most of the people elected in Massachusetts have a few (or more) terms until their belts, but there was one new face, Dan Koh, who filled the District 6 seat Seth Moulton vacated when he chose to run for Senate. Koh's been posting videos on social media meeting other new representatives. Closer to home, a political fight brewing in Massachusetts is not in Boston, but in Sutton, a small town in Centeral Mass. There, the Worcester Telegram reported this week that the Kraft Group has proposed building the fourth largest data center in the country. Per the proposal, it would include 10 buildings canvassing 250,000 square feet each, with the first two buildings opening in 2029 and another two opening each year until the project is complete in 2033. Data centers have been a controversial topic for months now. Back in May, Margie reported that Mansfield was the first town

Review & setlist: Journey soldiers into Boston before (allegedly) going their separate ways
The Final Frontier Tour is supposedly the band's last after 53 years and many personnel changes. Journey at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 10, 2026. Journey made music meant to be heard in three contexts: behind the bedroom door of a teenager whose parents disapprove of rock music, blasting through the rolled-down windows of a secondhand Z28, and in arenas. With the band’s core fanbase too old for the first and (probably) too responsible for the second, that left the last option on Tuesday, as the veteran band brought its Final Frontier Tour to the TD Garden.

Suffolk Downs celebrates official lighting of the Lighthouse at Beachmont Square
The HYM Investment Group LLC (“HYM”) and the City of Revere recently celebrated the official lighting of The Lighthouse at Beachmont Square at Suffolk Downs. Located just outside the MBTA’s Beachmont Blue Line station at the site of the former Beachmont Roast Beef, The Lighthouse serves as a new visual landmark and gateway to Beachmont Square, helping to knit together the Beachmont neighborhood to the 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment. The illuminated tower symbolizes the continued transformation of the historic Suffolk Downs site into a vibrant, connected, mixed-use community and will serve as a beacon for residents, commuters, and visitors of Beachmont Square. The design of the tower pays homage to the former structure that sat atop the Beachmont T Stop and served as a visual marker to commuters.
