[The Dorchester Heights Memorial; photo by Jameslwoodward via Wikipedia] To mark Memorial Day on Monday, we've expanded our map of military memorials and monuments around the Greater Boston area.

The new chairman of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Suffolk Construction magnate John Fish, launched his two-year term last week with a political-style speech before more than 1,000 business leaders at the chamber’s annual meeting. He called on members of the group to widen their circle: The area inside Interstate 495 may be quite prosperous, but the rest of the state — especially the so-called gateway cities — are lagging badly.
