| It's time for Boston to own up to the ugly reality: We are a city of pigs.
Drive around town and see for yourself. Up and down Dorchester Avenue yesterday, the gutters were clogged with every kind of debris imaginable: men's shoes, fruit, beer bottles, losing lottery tickets, Dunkin' Donuts cups, cigarette butts.
But it's not just a Dorchester problem. Charles Street on Beacon Hill, the bastion of upper-crust boutiques, low-key restaurants, and gaslit street lamps, looked as if it had just been attacked. A half-eaten take-out meal spilled from a plastic bag in a snowbank outside the 7-Eleven store, a trash barrel just a few feet away. Trash clogged sewer drains and blew across the middle of the sand-strewn road.
Along Newbury Street, the city's premier shopping thoroughfare in Back Bay, garbage was spilling from virtually every one of the city-owned barrels, tumbling into gutters and sewer drains or simply stepped on by the steady stream of passersby. A Neiman Marcus bag sat crushed in the middle of the intersection with Exeter Street. Starbucks cups, candy wrappers, Red Bull cans were stuck in bushes, strewn across small lawns, and kicked into the street.

That's the scenario....almost as cliched as handing over the BIG check as if it was his money.
Mrs Nitti and I amused how the boobs sell their votes for taxpayer bought t-shirts and hot dogs while Menino and his pals sell them out in the Parkman House for cash and steak.
In my city, we have urban terrorists taking over. The criminals are protected and its every decent citizen for himself. The police frown more on the concealed carry act than they do drug dealers invading homes at gun point.
How sad. As soon as those types figure out they can get away with it in Boston, they will do the same here.
I have also been noticing that this year the roadway in and around the North Shore/ 128 area is just litered with trash.
Maybe instead of sending money for Tsunami relief, we can use it to pay for street clean up.
I think since they pulled down the elevated tracks out front of the Fleet Center, the bums seem to have left. Also, no Bruins games help.
