for some reason, google maps shows "VA" on top of the Loring Greenough house even though that's totally wrong. I've tried reporting it but maybe if a bunch of other folks do too they'll correct it.

Facebook, again?

And?

It's not news if you can't read it.

The news is that a manhole exploded. You read that here.

There is video that further illustrates the news. Yes, it's on Facebook, but it's on a page that doesn't require you to log in (if it had, I would have noted that). It does pop something up, but you can make that go away, which isn't really any different from any number of free news sites, including WCVB.

I get that for about 50–80% of the Facebook links you post, or at least the ones I try to click through on.

No, I can't see the video. I come here to read and watch news about the world class city Boston and JP, and it is disappointing to be directed to closed Facebook posts.

You can always cancel your UHub subscription.

Where do I do this? I hate online services that cannot be cancelled online and where you need to contact customer service to cancel.

Adam you get a perpetual thumbs up for delivering the local news facts like no other. Hands down.

My bad. Used a different browser and it worked. Is it still on fire?

I got the "join or log in" panel but the video below it ran just fine (on my phone). Glad I don't have to stress about that :-/

Brown smoke is local smoke and local smoke is fresh.

I think I love you, anon.
