Boston is not a crap town. However, it is being made crap by a small percentage of the population who have a distorted sense of entitlement and total disregard for their own actions. I have personally witnessed native Bostonians dropping litter two feet away from litter bins, throwing fag ends down wherever they like, collecting their dog poo into bags and throwing them into the nearest bush or not even bothering to collect it in the first place. Bostonians who urinate in public places including children’s playground areas and sit in those same playgrounds drinking Continue reading >>>

Where’s Greater Boston’s next innovation hub? GrabCAD marketing guru Rob Stevens tells me his money is on Davis Square, where the growing company moved a few months ago. “Davis is the new Kendall Square,” Stevens said Thursday afternoon in GrabCAD’s spacious new digs at 38 Cameron Avenue. The startup, which helps engineers share computer aided design files, spent the previous year renting space on Third Street in Kendall. Feeling squeezed — literally, by cramped quarters, and figuratively, by high prices — the GrabCAD team took the operation four stops up the Red Line in April. Plenty Continue reading >>>
