Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: Pigs continue to get roasted!
While so far no one at Quincy Quarry nor any local politicians have been caught up in the ongoing inappropriate behavior furor, there is still time for at least one faux accusation.
After all, what’s another such slander on one’s way out of local office?
Quincy Center’s Berlin Wall?
Rendering via the MBTA
In the meanwhile, locally things have largely remained in a state of post-Thanksgiving Tryptophan – or, more accurately, languishing in a post-binge eating torpor.
Except, that is, for word coming from the MBTA as to what it is willing to to do to help enable Q’ing up the once promising – if not also exciting – plans for “A New Quincy Center” via the MBTA’s tentative acceptance of a proposal to jam even more premium rate apartments hard upon its tracks in Quincy Center.
A City on the Move to the crapper?

Apparently, the T officials must think that everyone is as inured to the clickety-clack of trains traveling on railroad tracks, diesel fumes from buses and Commuter Rail locomotives as well as public opinion as they are.
In any event, it is only a matter of time before other media come to know what Quincy Quarry already knows: the local developer tied to this latest Quincy Center gift of a grift is not only koched-up, he is also arguably one of Baker’s South Shore dozen.
In other words, as well as always: “Only in the Q©” …
600 more apartments. SIX HUNDRED! Right in Quincy Center. And considering all the attendant problems that will become painfully apparent, the term Charlie Foxtrot is a woefully inadequate description.
Interesting that the Mayor refuses to entertain the idea of taxing apartments as businesses but had no qualms whatsoever about raising the tax burden on homeowners while lowering the tax burden on businesses. Remember?
600 here. 600 there. How many more apartments will we get before Mayor Koch realizes that our roads are at capacity?
Why is the T dictating municipal projects? Before they do that, shouldn’t they first get the trains to run on time and figure out how they are going to handle their Bernie Madoff type pension fund?
Question for the Mayor: If apartments aren’t commercial enterprises, what the hell are they?

Dom,
No offense, but you are posing a business question of someone who has never worked in the private sector. Except, that is, when when his childhood buddy FlynnFlam put him on retainer so that Tommy could pay his bills while he ran for mayor in 2007.
