Allegiant
An airline that connects small cities with leisure destinations has received federal certification to fly a bigger plane, a step toward providing future service to Hawaii. Allegiant Air is aiming to add Hawaii as a destination by summer of next year, company spokeswoman Kristine Shattuck-Cooper said Thursday.
"Hawaii is a natural destination for us," she said. "We're always looking at new and different locations that fit our business model." She said it's not yet known which cities the Hawaii flights are to service.
The airline, part of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Travel Co., announced Wednesday it obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to begin operating Boeing 757-200 aircraft. To begin travel between the mainland and Hawaii, the airline also needs Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance certification and Flag Carrier status from the FAA for the 757-200.
The airline plans to first use its 757 on existing routes connecting Las Vegas with McAllen, Texas, and Rockford

9 May Street Sewer line
The work in street from Maria's kitchen to 9 May Street looks like it is done. Now all that is left is that they will need to hook up to building, if not done alreardy. next step will be to remove the above ground sewer line that runs to Main Street and remove the pumping station.
The more I think of this.. This had to cost 100's of thousands of dollars.

Airport Travel Bank
I had big hopes when MassPort took over last July, but figured they would go slow. Now I just don't know. Direct Air was a good start but just that I start. After all the e-mails and phone calls I have gotten, personally I would not fly with them.
How we can not get any flights from Boston? Leisure travel flights to cruises? One flight per week to Florida? We need to make something happen.

Direct Air
Yesterday's flight?
Received two e-mails and two cell calls on the flight. Does anyone know if it ever took off?

Crompton
Took this picture today next to a friend of mine, Bill LaHane, who watching the building getting torn down. He is now retired after working for the City of Worcester Parks but told me how his father, his sister, his brother-in-law and Uncle all worked for Crompton. In fact as a child his family rented an apartment from Crompton.

Paulie
Sorry been busy...
Remember 4 years ago when Paulie said to me "This could be huge Bill". Although I was listening, I almost found it hard to believe that a Jazz Festival in the dirt parking lot in front of his house could truly ever be "huge".
Despite the fact, I believe, we have gotten rain 4 straight years, Paulie has been proven right. Kudos to Paulie...

Big Tobacco lawsuit
Not even going to bother posting a link. We all saw this was coming and the City of Worcester will lose. No way we should have even gone done this road. As Steve has already commented, how much money is this going to cost not to mention the anti-business message this sends.
This was so predictable. No way big tobacco will let any municipality ban the sale of any of their products. The thing that really amazes me is the banning of the sale on blunt wrap type products. Personally I do not smoke pot, but alot of people do.
When I was in high school, I remember the white EZ rider papers and how some of friends were great at rollimng joints. Over time people have found out that the paper from a cigar is better so they buy cigars, dump out the tobacoo, fill it with pot and smoke. The tobacco companies decided to make it more convenients and just sell the cigars without the tobacco and blunt wraps were born.
If the City of Worcester bans blunt wraps, people will just go back to buying the cigars and dumping out the tobacco or going to the next town to buy wraps. Complete waste of time.
