Quincy High snowed in after Blizzard of 2015

Quincy public schools remain closed for the third day given The Blizzard of 2015.
Conversely, public schools have reopened in the adjoining communities of Braintree, Milton and Weymouth. Only adjacent Boston schools are closed given an abundance of caution given that Boston has all but given up on neighborhood school assignments of its students and thus has yet to be able to restore its massive school bus system.
Per standard practices, Quincy Quarry did not bother reaching out to the City’s Public Buildings Department or Quincy Public Schools Committee President Mayor Koch for comment.
Key reasons for not doing include that Mayor Koch inexplicably put school maintenance under the then much smaller City Public Building Department and it has thus long been overwhelmed while it has concurrently since all but hopelessly mismanaging the Coddington Building and Old City Hall renovation projects.

That and Mayor Koch never deems to answer to the innumerable as well as often obvious shortcomings of his maladministration, much less to its often curious settings of privileged treatment for his minions.
Conversely, however, even the MBTA managed to largely resume regular weekday service yesterday.
In any event, with Quincy schools still closed, local parents are fast approaching either their wits’ ends from being snowbound with their teenagers or exhaustion from pulling sheds up hills for their younger children while also trying to telecommute to work from home.
Even helicopter moms are pondering flying off to somewhere -– anywhere -– at this point.

Particularly trying for some parents is that even thought supermarkets have reopened, keeping teenage boys fed is laying waste to even pre-storm stockpiles even faster than market shelves can be restocked.
Also annoying are teenage girls’ incessant requests to go to the mall.
Even worse, as there is no Vampire movie series sequel currently playing at local theaters, both mall parking and even mall drop-off points are thus particularly hard-pressed.
In short, parents are thus fast approaching breaking points.
Even worse, given first storm duty overtime and now detail work to assist with clearing massive snowbanks from local streets, local police resources will surely be pressed if schools continue to remain closed and parents finally start going nuclear.
Expect more breaking badly news as the Q continues to endeavor to dig out from The Blizzard of 2015.

Is it all an illusion? City hall parking spots were plowed but not the sidewalks in Quincy. Not the snow banks around corners on busy streets, not the high school,not the library walk way or middle school, nor walk ways for business.
It is not just an illusion. Many of the City Hall employees never attempted to fill their clean plowed spots all week. A vacant lots tells a lot!
Optimism for Quincy. Vote for a new blood at City Hall next election. Someone who may know how to get his/her staff to plow for the tax payers of Quincy, not just just clear spots for the staff!
