What, no Amber Alerts?

Why no Amber alert? Well, for starters, the kid isn't a rich blond, blue eyed white girl.

Forced accomplice?

ChezNiki considers the case of Louna Eveillard and concludes:

... This woman is a classic immigrant domestic violence case. Alone, abused, pregnant non-stop for over three years, not too much English. According to AP, she doesn't even have a telephone number in her name. She needs help: medical, legal, psychological, spiritual. I'm hoping that a womens group, domestic violence or Haitian Community group comes together and helps this woman and her children. Sad thing about it? Being locked up in a Kings County jail is probably the safest she's been in years.

Lynn has another blogger. Some of these blogs have been mentioned right here on Universal Hub, helping to put Lynn back on the map as a place to be. (Um. Yes. Lynn was once hopping mad with activity that wasn't all sin.) Downtown, in particular, is on the rise and full of potential, even in this current real estate market.

A blog for downtown Lynn

Corey, a newcomer to downtown Lynn, is now blogging about the neighborhood:

... I've been here for about a year now. My parents were born here and often tell me of what used to be. I see it coming back. I have hope for my property value. I think others out there do as well. I figured I would put this blog together to try and get the community talking about what's happening, and what's next. Rumors, gossip, news, etc. ...

Help Bring Public Access TV Back to Swampscott has a series of North Shore videos, including one of State Rep. Douglas Petersen making his dumb Lynn comments (basically: That Swampscott should support better education in Lynn because Swampscott kids will become "captains of industry" who will need educated blue-collar workers from Lynn); the Lynn comments start at around 2:50.

The death of the British leather tourist in Rhode Island

Chaz, active in the local leather scene, discusses the death of Adrian Exley, who went missing from Lynn in April and whose body was found in Rhode Island. And he wonders if he might still be alive if the media had picked up the missing-persons bulletin Lynn Police issued in April. This was after Exley disappeared after traveling from London (via Boston) possibly to meet Gary Leblanc, who killed himself last week, reportedly leaving behind instructions on where to find Exley's body.

Weird accident

Smeg witnesses a weird accident in Lynn on his way home:

... The Jeep turned his wheel *a little*, then floored it, he had no way enough turn to make the corner, and he drove straight into the front of the Mustang, which roled back from the force. The guy in the Jeep then put it on full lock and floored it again, swinging around onto the curb and into the massive truck that was parked on the forecourt of a garage, badly enough that he wasn't moving again, and fluids started pouring out of his engine. ...
