VIDEO: Selectman Responds to Question 1 Vote
See what step Selectman Kevin Greeley wants the board to take at its next meeting.
Count Selectman Kevin Greeley firmly in the camp of those who believe that Saturday’s “Yes” vote on Question 1 shouldn’t be interpreted as a deathblow to the current Mass. Ave. Corridor Project. At the end of Monday night’s Board of Selectmen’s meeting, Greeley said he plans to draft a letter, with help from Town Manager Adam Chapdelaine, to Federal Highway and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation expressing the board’s “[strong continued] support for the project” and to request the project's funding. He said he would bring the letter to the board’s next meeting on Monday, April 22, for his colleagues’ approval. The Mass.

See what unrelated items they found instead.
Massachusetts State Police divers combed the Mystic River near the River Street bridge for about two hours Thursday, but they didn’t find the gun they were looking for, according to Arlington Police Capt. Richard Flynn. The state police dive team was assisting Arlington police with an ongoing drug investigation, he said. The gun was allegedly thrown from the bridge into the river. “We’re going to have to re-interview the suspect,” Flynn said after the failed search.

VIDEO: From Nanjing to Arlington Heights, the Story of Szechuan’s Dumpling
Quan Luu keeps true to her family's traditions in new venture.
The story of Szechuan’s Dumpling, the new Chinese restaurant in Arlington Heights, begins two generations ago in the northern Chinese city of Nanjing.

They fled to Vietnam, specifically Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City). This is where Luu’s parents were born, where she was born and where her four siblings, two older sisters and two younger brothers, were born.
