Thank you to everyone who came out August 26th for the community meeting to discuss the Historical Markers grant. We heard so many great ideas from the community both at the meeting and emailed to us and are excited to take the next step in the coming weeks and months.

There’s still time to send in your historical marker suggestions to [email protected].

Someone has disrespected the American Flag. At three Memorial's in Southie, somebody pulled flags out of the ground and causing damage to them then tossing the flags on the ground. I feel that I can speak for the active duty and veterans that this disrespect of our flag is a slap in the face. Why would someone do this? Do they not know what our flag stands for. The ultimate sacrifice paid by some for our freedom or the pain the families carry who have lost their love ones. this act is unacceptable; we need to hold whoever did this accountable and we will. Our local politicians are standing with us and a police report has been filed. If anyone has information, please contact the police.
