Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: A blazing inferno warms up the Q!
In the wake of snow jobs both done but mostly left undone after the biggest snowfall of the year almost two weeks ago, a five alarm towering inferno destroyed several buildings on Newport Avenue in Wollaston Center Tuesday mid-morning at a venue that all but directly abuts the Wollaston Fire Station.
Seeing red

Even though the fire was also adjacent to the long closed for reconstruction Wollaston MBTA station, commuters and others were still hit with all manner of massive delays given that Newport Avenue was long closed off from public use and so worsening already insufferable local traffic congestion.
Problems included disrupting the chartered bus service that has been shuttling strap hangers who would otherwise rely on the Wollaston Red Line station.
That and now new ones who have been using the Wollaston station’s parking lot as North Quincy station has lost have of its parking capacity so as to accommodate yet another developer’s developing even more huge high end for Quincy apartments.
2015 Fire at the same site

In any event, time will tell as what might be found at the site of the fire where a previous major fire event occurred in 2015 and repairs then followed.
For example, if the repair work after the 2015 fire was duly inspected by the city’s building inspectors.
Then again, it is theoretically possible for lightening to strike twice.
In the meanwhile, snow uncleared around the Q is melting away.
Resting up for the big announcement

That and how the long expected announcements by long expected Democratic contenders for their party’s 2020 presidential nomination continue to be rolled out after the usual tiresome forerunning preview teases.
For example, earlier this week Beto O’Rourke was the thirteenth formally announced candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Apparently, Beto has no fear of Triskaidekaphobia.
Not Mr. Congeniality

That and no apparent concerns about the fact that he lost a United States senate election just last fall to arguably the most disliked member of the Senate.
Then again, President Trump never held political officer or any major appointed government post, so why not Beto?
Let Quincy Quarry count the ways in BOTH instances …
How come these devastating fires such as the “mysterious” 5 alarm blaze that made uninhabitable the entire stretch of buildings on Newport Avenue; and left thirty people homeless; leave the public with no curiosity as to what the results of an investigation shows was the cause? If it did not happen to them or someone they know and love; it really means nothing to the residents of Quincy that in this case a building with no power, gas, or electric; and empty building went up in flames. The owner is a Mr Wong; the property manager, Elizabeth Wong; and the fire inspector ….. by some coincidence is a Mr Wong. Something is very “WONG.” I am a resident of Quincy and demand knowing the results of the investigation of that fire; which is one of a series of fires imposed on the residents of Quincy. Either you lived there and you were made homeless; or you drive by and are certainly inconvenienced; but note as well the pollution in the air that hung over the neighborhood for days and was so intense for hours on March 12th will effect the health of all the neighbors; not today, tomorrow; but certainly over the life time of your children. Do you not want the cause to be public and published? Amazing how complacent people can be to being abused; Quincy residents are so experienced in tolerating what other areas of the state would never tolerate. Shame.
