Happy Holidays

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.  Lowell is so predictable.  How many times can I write about the same stories about the same douchebags?  This isn’t the Lowell Sun.  I don’t see the usefulness of pointing out the obvious for the sake of having a current post.  This blog isn’t about me.  It’s [...]

Thanks For Nothing: RMV Screws Up Downtown

Way to go State Senator Hairy Balls. Wicked smart Lynchie. On paper I can see how “saving” the RMV in Lowell seems like a good idea.

Gourmet Guy

I’ve never eaten there, for all I know the food could be wonderful, but have you been to the Cobblestones website?  If I were going to create a mock website for a bad eatery, this is the exact website I would create.  First of all you must turn your speakers way up before going there [...]

Lowell RMV

  Ok.  They’re going to close down the RMV in Lowell.  No big deal.  Right?  Wrong.  To Panagiotakos, losing the RMV in Lowell is like North Korea getting nuclear weapons.  It’s like he’s personally insulted at the notion of the state saving a couple of bucks.  Why?  Perhaps the Lowell RMV is a place for [...]
