Big day for the Schmidts: we passed the 10k-mile mark on our e-bike! 🥳 Shuttling my son to school and back, and many errands and fun trips between, it’s no understatement to say our lifestyle over the past five years is only possible with an e-bike. Fun to watch the odometer reset!

What a frustrating article, which makes Culbert St sound pastoral. The development fronts Blue Hill Avenue, with a side on Culbert. Culbert is a literal stone’s throw from the BHA Fairmount line entrance, and high frequency 28 and 31 buses. Within a minute walk, one is at shops and services.

Louisa’s death is a tremendous and senseless loss for the region. I’ve known her for years. I worked with her near daily up until her death. She was kind, empathetic, charismatic, and sharp. I am somehow both numb and incredibly angry. Boston, we have lost one of our absolute best and brightest.
