Car crashes killed 42,000+ humans last year. Trains, planes and buses, were they as destructive, would have been brought in line quickly by the weight of public opinion. Cars are special somehow, and remain a danger to everyone.

Perhaps the thrust of this series is emphasizing the importance of process in public works projects. The turnpike extension wasn’t vetted as it should have been. When I see the political infighting described in the article, it’s makes me wonder why the turnpike skipped passing nearer Worcester.

Some of my ancestors were refugees from famine. They were fed in the US upon arrival. This is the way.

It’s surprising to me that John Henry hasn’t put his foot down on this reporting. Billionaire owner hasn’t become Sinclair as yet?

My ancestors landed there and stayed for a century so I’m biased, but see how it’s awful in spots. Commuter rail is a plus though.

These New England immigrants were the Perdue Pharma of their day it seems.

Salem is a lovely town. It has its drawbacks like other towns. But, the houses built and financed by profit from China trade are, to my mind, extraordinary. Few places in the US compare to the intriguing history of Salem.

Craftsman tools. Kenmore appliances. These were great items, but are they now?
