News Notes
Civic
  • City of Boston officials celebrated the opening of the redeveloped Boston EMS Training Center in West Roxbury — a project that added two new bay ambulance stations. The new facility aims to provide a space that develops new EMTs and paramedics while improving emergency response times.
Transit
  • MBTA has announced closures and detours that will impact commuters this month. The Blue Line has the greatest number of expected service suspensions, including: between Bowdoin and Orient Heights stations, April 9-11; between Maverick and Wonderland, April 17-19; between Airport and Wonderland, April 20-28.
Sports
  • The Legislature has set a public hearing at the State House tomorrow from 2 to 5 p.m., to discuss plans to build a professional soccer stadium in Everett at a 43-acre site along the Mystic River. The proposed venue would serve as a home for the New England Revolution, allowing them to move from Gillette Stadium. (Boston Globe)
Seasonal
  • Hanging nasturtiums are blossoming at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The flowers have grown from seeds planted last June, but blooms typically last about three weeks. The vines are expected to be on display above the courtyard through Sunday, April 14 and are included with admission.
Coming Soon

From the editor
Canton native Bill Burr has popped up in another project. He will be featured in “Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story,” Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut coming to Netflix on Friday, May 3. I think I will celebrate by watching it and snacking on Frosted Boston Creme Donut Pop-Tarts, because apparently that’s a thing now.
