2. From the news: Butcher jobs are getting harder and harder to fill. This may be upsetting to those who remember all of the old North End butcher shops, which have slowly been closing throughout the neighborhood. This shortage of butchers is not just in the North End, where Sulmona Meat Market is one of the few that is left standing. Owner Frank Susi, a fourth-generation butcher who took over Sulmona from his father, said he still caters to a few longtime Italian families who live in the neighborhood. Even after four generations, Susi can’t imagine that the business will continue for another generation, read the article at, The Boston Globe.
3. Also from the news: I am not sure if this is surprising to many, or an insult to our prideful way of driving? Believe it or not, Bostonians ranked fifth rudest drivers in the US according to a study released by Expedia, citing that New York has the least courteous drivers on the road. Following New York is Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. before bringing the 5th spot back to Boston. Of the more than 1,000 men and women surveyed, only 11 percent thought Boston drivers were not-so-nice, read more at The Boston Globe.
