Reply to Missing Russo's by talllulllahhh

I divide my time between Boston and north central MA and Russo's was conveniently located for the trip either way. I know this isn't too helpful for most Bostonians but Idylwilde Farm in Acton is a bit of a mini-Russo's. Not the variety, for sure, but a similar feeling of, "Wow, I got all this nice quality stuff for only $XX." Russo's was truly a bargain considering what you got for your money. And their Christmas trees....

The encore site went back into the 1800s from what I recall. I wasn’t a big fan of a casino so I read the environmental proposal. From what I recall, a hundred years ago, after the site was done with chemicals and had them in surplus they would just steam shovel them into the ground… all the goodies you would never want buried or near water. It is worth a read.

When I was done… I just said.. yep, build a casino. That is the only business that can print money and cover the cost of dealing with that. The only other thing you could build there would be a Treasury building that prints actual money.

These are the special stripers they would catch.

You can eat blue fish and striped bass - never shell fish, never if preggers.

The canada geese involved in the Cactus 1549 incident were actually migratory. It is the resident ones that are problematic.

> The Smithsonian Institution also performed a stable-hydrogen isotope analysis of the feather material collected from the airplane engines and compared the results with feather samples collected from resident geese in the New York region. The results indicated that the feathers from the airplane engines were similar to samples of known migratory geese and were significantly different from year-round resident populations from the New York region.

Haitian Jack sold me the Season 3 Box Set of Gilmore Girls, but it ended up that Disc Three was just old Stormy Daniels porn clips.. I still don't know if Rory's grandmother ended up paying for school or not...
