Was everyone wearing masks? I'm sure faker Baker would be more concerned about that than about a shooting.

Let's of good food in Lynn. Charlie's Seafood next to Sullivan's Liquors at the corner of Chatham & Essex, great hunk of fish, or Jamaica's Flavour at the corner of Pleasant & Wheeler, they're closed on Saturday, 7 Day Adventists.If you are ever in Lynn, stop by "Los Chamos". Best Venezuelan food you will eat outside of Venezuela.
When Hell’s Angels ruled the roost. It’s reputation has never died.Lynn is the Diet Coke of rough towns. Why it has its reputation is beyond me.
Even the locals recommended living elsewhere.

When I met my wife she lived in Lynn on Chatham Street by the RR Bridge. She had come from the Boondocks of Jamaica, to live with her cousins in the Bronx. Near Gun Hill Road in one of those God forsaken high rises in the ghetto. When her Aunt offered her a room in Lynn, she jumped at the chance.
Ever tried Ethiopian food? Neither have they.
I thought that was Lawrence.Isn't Lynn regarded as the un-official anus of Massachusetts ? (asking for an out of towner friend)
So I asked my wife, she said you posted what about me! Her cousin was near Gun Hill Road in the Bronx, still is. She was with different cousins in Jamaica Queens. Anyway, she was on the corner of Bloomfield, across from Sanderson. The only other Jamaicans she knew on Chatham were the Soares. Clovis Soares, he had other family around Lynn.Serious question, is there a Jamaican enclave in that neighborhood ???
A former co-worker of mine lives on Chatham st., and his family immigrated from Jamaica when he was 13.
I do believe lynn cops are required to "live" in lynn. The ones who actually do have houses near the lynnfield line.The thing is... I doubt the officer would be living in Lynn himself. Not that I blame him
I have lived in lynn and next to lawrence. Lynn is 10 lbs of shit in an 8 lb bag. Lawrence is 15 lbs of shit in a 2 lb bag. If I was forced to live in 1 of those cities I'd pick lynn.I thought that was Lawrence.
Once upon I time during the famine, I tripped over some Hub articleThere used to be an Ethiopian restaurant at 333 Mass Ave in Boston, near Symphony Hall.
I'd laugh every time I drove by and saw the sign thinking "what's on the menu? NOTHING!"
Back in the 80's, before they knocked the building down, we delivered to 77 Receiving or the Carpenters Shop next to it almost every day.My dad worked at GE in Building 77 for 32 years. In the first few years he worked second shift and we would go pick him up at the end of the shift.
no idea but RI was considered the "outhouse" of MA. RI was where "undesirables" would be sent when no town wanted to take responsibility for them in the 17th and 18th centuries.Isn't Lynn regarded as the un-official anus of Massachusetts ? (asking for an out of towner friend)
Do you know why that building was "Knocked Down"? Ans: Very high rate of the guys that worked in that building died from cancer, My dad was one of them.Back in the 80's, before they knocked the building down, we delivered to 77 Receiving or the Carpenters Shop next to it almost every day.
The primary receiver back then was Stan McKean, great guy. Now we go to Building 64.
In the 80's, they were our biggest customer if you include GE West Lynn, GE Medford, GE Everett, GE South Portland, GE Fitchburg & GE Pittsfield.
Now they're probably some where in the top 800 of our customer and we just do Lynn.
They knocked down a ton of buildings that were no longer in use.Do you know why that building was "Knocked Down"? Ans: Very high rate of the guys that worked in that building died from cancer, My dad was one of them.
I know, but 77 was the plant's main maintenance and fabrication shop.They knocked down a ton of buildings that were no longer in use.
GE tore buildings down rather than pay the taxes on them, they knew they were NEVER going to use them again.
If they could get away with moving the Jet Engine plant out of Lynn without it costing them a fortune to remediate the property to dispose of it, or having to pay the taxes on empty buildings, they would have been gone 30 years ago.
GTE had the same problem in Salem. Can't sell, Ma. says land too contaminated. Tore down building to lessen tax burden. Then found the solution, give it to the state. Contamination gone, enlarge the school on it.GE tore buildings down rather than pay the taxes on them, they knew they were NEVER going to use them again.
