Councilor Flynn Responds to the Newly Released Boston Rodent Action Plan
BOSTON – With the release of the city’s Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP), Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn believes that although there are positive steps outlined on ways to address our pest control crisis and better coordination among our dedicated city departments, the plan falls short of the recommendation of both Councilor Flynn and the study’s author, renowned rodent urbanologist Dr. Bobby Corrigan, that the city revisit the idea of formally creating a “rat czar” like New York City has implemented. Moreover, after talking with residents and businesses across the city for years, Councilor Flynn takes issue with the analysis of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) that our current pest control crisis does not pose a high public health threat to the residents of Boston and their families.
Best of the Best List 2024 – South Boston Winners
The Boston Globe just announced its Best of the Best List! Here are the winners from the South Boston/Seaport/Fort Point neighborhood! Congratulations!. Even if you prefer the cold lobster roll, betray your instincts and order the warm version here at Row 34’s Fort Point outpost (others are in Cambridge, Burlington, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire). Chef Jeremy Sewall has long been a big name in Boston’s seafood scene, first at the now-shuttered Island Creek Oyster Bar in Kenmore Square and now at the stylish Row 34. Heaping servings of sweet and tender meat, caught by Sewall’s lobsterman cousin, are tossed in warm butter and sprinkled with sea salt and cradled in a split-top bun. If you must go cold, opt for Ethel’s Creamy Lobster Roll, named for Sewall’s grandmother, who added a hint of zesty pickles to the mayo mix.
