A Quincy Quarry Citizen Photojournalist took pictures of a likely migrant family wandering about on the mean streets of Quincy Center Tuesday night shortly after 10 pm.
They were first seen wandering on Adams Street and then on Alleyne Street, a short street that runs perpendicular to Adams from roughly the westerly end of the Planet Fitness parking lot to the Fowler House restaurant on Hancock Street.
All were pulling their own two wheeler rolling suitcase, wearing well-worn and not typical American attire as well as heard speaking what sounded to be Spanish.
No comment from the Governor Healey

All also looked tired to bedraggled far more than would be the case for lost tourists.
The photojournalist on the scene found it especially hard to look at the children.
Painfully hard.
The photojournalist also noted that the wanderers had a map and were seen huddling over it at one point and thus likely trying to make sense of it.
The photojournalist also has reasons to suggest that they were transported to Quincy and advised to then on their own make it to the new migrant housing center at Eastern Nazarene College that was recently established by Governor Maura Healey.

Granted, the ever-increasingly mean streets of Quincy are likely less mean than those from whence this family came.
Even so, what was seen by the photojournalist was not a Quincy welcoming of those yearning to breath free as they wandered about while all but assuredly lost but a short distance away from Founder Father John Adams’ Peace House.

Makes me sad.
I do think it both troubling and horrible that racial minorities are being picked on and tormented-especially in New England. And in Florida three Black people were just shot and killed by a young racist bigot. This crap had to stop or it will be a horrible recap of Nazi Germany. I really believe all racist, homophobic, and neo-Nazo group must be very closely monitored and investigated for criminal violence before they even think of hurting and killing again. They are vile and thus a real menace and danger to our whole society and democracy.
I worry. We have to love one another. Another Nazi shooter.
Can’t we set up military style tenting to get these folks out of the weather?????
They can always stay at your house right
Bummer,
My apartment building has a number of rent-subsidized tenants. Net/net, they are better tenants than the norm.
Agree with both Johnson and Frank T
This is bull crap no one ever does a story on the poor struggling American living on the street with no help instead it’s the poor migrants who who illegally crossed the border what a shame we are now minorities but yet we pay there salaries and now we pay for these law breakers and there thr poor migrants let them go live with Governor and her wife I’m sure they have the room but that will never happen because you see they preach but never practice I hope people remember come election time but they won’t they will fall for the same lies again just remember Americans first migrants go back home
Quincy Quarry’s roster of outside expert advisors has long included one of the nation’s top people on homelessness and he just happens to live in Quincy. Among other things, he has lead the way to seeing politicians and their ilk understand that seeing people off the street saves more than enough money by reducing just the healthcare costs given way fewer weather-related hospital stays to more than cover the costs of housing the homeless.
Next, US immigration policy is a Charlie Foxtrot but no one has come up with truly legit reforms.
Finally, if you are referring to Governor Healey, she is not married. At the same time, words, including from her, indicate that she had a role in seeing her somewhat newish GF’s marriage end.
What is mean is how you photographed this family. Did you help them to find their way to shelter? This story should have been how mean it was to leave this family stranded once they were transported to Massachusetts. This story tried to create a narrative about the mean streets of Quincy this is not journalism this is exploitation this family for your own gains!
Denise,
Journalists report what they see. In turn, involving themselves in a story would be a conflict of interest.
Next, this story is about how variously wrong it was to apparently dump this family in Quincy.
Finally, the narrative is the narrative no matter how you care to try to misconstrue it.
Did someone help them read the map and get them to the shelter?
This is a good article folks, kudos to QQ. Guess we hear about all the troubles on the southwest border. When you see these folks struggling and no place to go, it pulls on my heart. We are so very lucky in this country. Thanks QQ for showing this to us. Just waiting to find a way to help.
