Alright, back to business. This is the 4th post in a series. We’re gearing up for a new archaeological survey in Mattapan ahead of a planned urban farm project.

A long line awaited the opening of Uniqlo in Downtown Crossing. Take a look inside. - The Boston Globe Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was on hand to help cut the ribbon to the store, where a long line of eager shoppers queued up outside.

The shift to remote work took its toll, but DTX is rising like a phoenix. Really love the "all hands on deck" approach to activating storefronts, and the work of the BID. A personal shout out to Chief Idowu, who dedicated so much of his energy here. 🔥 www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/10/b...

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?
