OLD TOWN ROUTE: HOW TO HIKE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF 128 (AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT)

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted January 28, 2020 Filed Under: FEATURES, GTFO, LIFESTYLE, Non-fiction

That section is a continuation of the road ... but on the other side of the highway—and it can’t be accessed unless a) you have wings, or b) you have a death wish and think it would be fun running across the highway.

GATEHOUSE STRIKES AGAIN: WORCESTER MAGAZINE ON THE ROPES

Written by JASON PRAMAS Posted May 29, 2019 Filed Under: Apparent Horizon, COLUMNS, NEWS+OPINIONS

Over the holiday weekend, my wife and I had occasion to take the commuter rail out to Dedham to a family gathering in memory of loved ones who have left us. As we walked the mile to my cousin’s place—through middle-class suburban streets nearly bereft of foot traffic (and, in some places, sidewalks)—I looked at the many houses we passed. And thought about the fact that, despite their generally tidy exteriors and the lush greenery all around them, we were walking through a “news desert” in formation.
