Quabbin Island Plan?

What ever happened to the plan for the Isle of NopeRopes in the middle of the Quabbin? They could take this poor rattler down there and he or she would never have to look too far for water again!

Newsflash!

I found a wasp nest in my yard in Dorchester today!

Don't tell WBZ!

They'll interview every 9 year old on your block and be disappointed when the kids aren't scared.

Glad to hear the snake survived its encounter

It could easily have been found by people who would kill it.

And the new story wasn't so bad, given how hysterical local news can be.

I liked the Quincy PD tweets

Basically "leaving this to experts" and NOPE!
