there still is a large black tank car connected to a local locomotive
at the alewife commuter rail service shop
there is a huge new wooden apt bld going up on New St - maybe 300 feet
long - at least 3 stories high now
there was a dark red suv labeled C7 on Rte 2 - it had a small antenna
about the size of half a hotdog - plate was Fire 42D - maybe was
Cambridge FD
there are 1 or 2 construction projects going on just north of alewife
T station - multi cranes were up on whittemore street today at that
bld today - large dump trucks were going in and off rte 2 right at
alewife T about 3 weeks ago - maybe at the old Jerrys Pit
there is also a large school or something under construction right
next to the armory on Concord Ave at the Sozio Circle
there is a large area of brushland on rte 2 in arlington between
alewife and lake st - that is the 'mugar site' - it is owned by the
mugar family - there is a proposal to build about 100 apts there - the
town of Arlington has been fighting the mugars for maybe 40 years - if
that elephant grass and brush ever burns on a windy day it could throw
a million sparks on those new wooden apt blds along Rte 2 - that could
be very interesting very quickly - but it would probably need to be
very windy and dry
the whole alewife area is a flood zone - gonna be very interesting
around there one of these days
