Are you not wasting time and wasting your life by continuing to tell people to let it go. If you had let it go you would not be posting. Its one thing to view your point, it's another to be a hypocrite...

Essex police assisted her in finding transportation to Phoenix.

Now the police are also travel agents for the homeless? Not only should she have been locked up for falsely accusing a guy who helped her out but then they help someone with outstanding warrants to another part of the country still fleeing the law? Isn't this aiding and abedding a criminal on the police?

While in traffic on Grant Circle the man exited the cab and ran off.

How did the the Police find this guy? He must have given the cab driver his address when he picked him up. What a moron...

Is there still a big market for hub caps? This story sounds like its right out of 1975. How many hub cap black market guys can there be around? The Police should have this wrapped up by breakfast!

But a place for Seniors to go and enjoy each others company has had every nickel and dime counted while moved to a second choice location. Who are we really looking out for? In most other countries your elderly are taken care of first simply out of respect. Now we create places to dump them so we can go on with our agendas. Why do other countries look at Americans and shake their heads, here is one...

"he didn't think municipalities were well-suited to running retail businesses."

Sounds like a management problem, oh sorry, the city was managing it... makes sense now.

What's next? Mayor Kirk setting up corner hot dog stands or city run Ice Cream trucks? Or lets just take over all of Gloucester's small businesses by the city and run them into the ground!

Great Job and hats off to the Plum Cove School Site Committee and Plum Cove Parent Teacher Co-Operative for doing something the city should have done without even being asked! Not only recycling but providing a need! A+

I also wonder how many Lobster Rolls and other foods never made it to the counter as perks for the volunteers? Generally when you are working with Volunteers and you food cost overrides your profit some of the food is going out the back door or internally consumed unless you "Really" "Really" "Really" SUCK at math!

They need to get Gordon Ramsey down to the Good Harbor beach snack bar and snap these stupid cows into shape!

Oh F*** them, F*** this and F**** close it.

Now what do we do with the other 59 minutes?

This is comparing apples to oranges. Having a son that graduated from the Voc when it was in Beverly there is a HUGE diffence between what Gloucester offers and what North Shore offers. A lot more programs that focus more on your vocation and a lot more fields of study to choose from. before you think the GHS program is good you need to visit the school in Middleton and take a look around. What they prepared my son for when he went to college he was 2+ years ahead of everyone else and excelled tremendously in college from it. He now makes over 150K a year thanks to a great start at the NSRVS.

somebody had withdrawn $3,400 using her card and she had the bank statements to prove it.

There is a $300 ATM limit per day on all Debit Cards. How long cam someone not know what is going on with their money... 12 days? Are you that naive in todays world? Apparently she has plenty of money if you can go that long without noticing it missing...

"IF" people choose to act, Redneck, Ghetto, Ignorant or whatever you want to call it don't be offended when people make fun. people put themselves in situations where they look stupid but get offended when they are called stupid. Act smart and you'll be treated smart.

If you go on Jerry Springer from someone else contacting the show, don't be surprised when it hits the fan! You're not there to talk about baking cookies...

Regardless of how it "was" built the problem needs to be corrected allowing the tide to properly function. Maybe they need to just remove the dam and build a bridge? Let nature correct what man has messed up!
