Nonantum (the part of Newton up near the Newton/Watertown line) is BIG about their Italian identity and pride. I lived and worked there for a few years.

This guy is surely a local hero, and somebody else will do what he did when/if the town paints it back to yellow. It’s how they are.

The locals were a bit over the top, claiming discrimination. The section of street has an accident rate double that of Newton and the double yellow line is required to get Federal Highway money. This is not addressed in their complaint.

It’s a thing here. Italian restaurant owners in Boston’s North End claim the mayor (who’s Chinese) is discriminating against them, white people, because she’s limited sidewalk dining in one of the most crowded streets in the city.

Yes, R4. This isn’t even good street art. This is sloppy shit and looks juvenile.

R6 They gave us da Vinci and Michelangelo. This is not good.

I read this as Italian antichrist.

Don't worry. The whole thing will be in a pothole this winter.

Mayor is racist against black people.
