– News about Quincy MA from Quincy Quarry News
North Quincy grocery shoppers appear to have helped all but gridlock Quincy Avenue in South Quincy on Saturday.
On the first somewhat pleasant Saturday and with streets semi-passable, many grocery shoppers headed to South Quincy to shop for ethnic food items.
Unfortunately, the crush of surely hungry shoppers after suffering weeks of snowbound isolation all but shutdown the vital North/South arterial roadway of Quincy Avenue in South Quincy.

Fortunately, the shoppers were by all accounts at least respectful of each others in the parking lot even though the lot was beyond full and chaos the rule of the day.
While on the scene, Quincy Quarry observed no obnoxious horn honking, one-fingered waves or excessive expletives.
At the same time, Quincy Quarry’s staff have enough trouble with English and thus may have missed a few prime foreign language questionings of another driver’s parentage and/or driving skills.

This remarkable level of patience was in stark contrast to many reports of impatience, wild driving and even wilder insults by multiple generation “Nekkers” driving in and out of Hough’s Neck.
While surely perhaps some Nekkers are careful, respectful and law abiding, more than a few of them have been seen driving more like they were driving bumper cars, especially one well-known to be Facebook posting Queen who all but assuredly also does so while driving her black SUV.

Perhaps most importantly, however, this South Quincy traffic jam confirmed many of the traffic studies that have found that opening up a smaller ethnic goods supermarket in North Quincy would surely REDUCE traffic congestion citywide.
As a result, arguably NIMBY opponents to the proposed store have perhaps managed to cause the very first incident nationally of NIMBY’s fighting a redevelopment plan that could potentially lessen traffic congestion in their own neighborhood which also gave rise to worse congestion elsewhere at the other end of their community.
Fortunately, it is expected that any day now the court will order the permitting of the proposed new market for North Quincy.

Unfortunately, the court will likely soon be ordering the City of Quincy to pay damages to the owner of the proposed market .
Most knowledgeable observers expect the damages awarded to run somewhere in the range of the low 7 to perhaps as much as high 7 figure range and thus local politicians so found to have undertaken improper actions so as to pander to the worst sort of beliefs of a relatively few favored supporters will so leave all local taxpayers stuck with covering this latest expensive legal bill.
