At Least Someone Still Cares...

I was under the impression that both candidates had joined me in becoming disinterested in the Ward 7 race.

Then, I saw that Bob Trane attended the First Church of Somerville panel discussion on October 25.

For the past couple weeks I have felt like I was watching the last couple rounds of a boxing match in which the two combatants were sure that they had amassed enough points to ensure victory and wanted to avoid being struck by a knock-out blow - ho hum.

Trane TV appearance ; Ballantyne Sign Sighting

Bob Trane to appear on 'Greater Somerville' tonight and Jillian Fennimore asks whether Trane will comment on skipping the pre-preliminary race debate (I sould still like to hear what he has to say).

Andy Metzger wrote recently about seeing only Trane signs on the businesses in Teele Square. I'm not sure which road he used to enter Teele but if he had chosen Broadway he would, I'm sure, have noticed this prominent Ballantyne sign at the corner of Packard Ave:

New 'Crackpot Comment' Contender

Back on September 15, I pondered whether a crackpot comment from the Somerville News website could be topped:
Ballantyne financing coming from Cuba, Iran, or Venezuela?

Only a few more weeks in which to submit your entries!

Holy Cow - Bob Trane has a web site

I feel like I am 3 weeks behind (mostly because I am). Fortunately, the late-comer to the online world manages to provide some usual information.

More dog space need in Ward 7 - how about North St.?

Jillian Fennimore comments on the availability of dog parks in Somerville and mentions that Cambridge is seeking to improve in this regard.

I would like to see more such spaces here in Ward 7 and I will happily nominate the soon-to-be-renovated North St. playground for this purpose.
