Friend of mine from Tauton told me the other day about a project there built in the 1950's called Fairfax Gardens. He said it is complete disaster 150 units of low income housing over-run by drugs and crime.
Now they are tearing the whole thing down replacing them, story here, with a 71,000,000 project. "The redevelopment project consists of demolishing the 150 barracks-style units that make up the Fairfax Gardens development, constructing 88 townhouse-style units in their place and also creating 72 mixed-income rental units at a separate location in downtown Taunton."
My point here is that while other places are tearing down their projects that consist of entirely low income housing, in Worcester we are building them (May Street and Southgate Place).

HERE WE GO...........the mercury starts climbing fast and we have shotguns at Vernon Hill Park, knife fights in the valley, the WPD touting their crime statistics in the T&G, no money for summer "impact" patrols, and a few weeks ago the housing authority titan touting the WHA's recent statistics at their facilities.
But loooooo and behold, unless i missed it, no drunken kids and/or WPD police calls up on college hill this spring? I must be dreaming?
Maybe the real "fun" begins tonight....maybe at a Millbury St bar and continues unabated at many different city locales over the 3- - 4 days.
"Hot town, summer in teh city, back o my neck gittin' dirt & girty......"
