We live in a police state now
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck.
After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home.
Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

I don't know much about Nathan Bowen, but this piece in Kenmore Square really captures the musical spirit of the area that persists no matter how much gentrification has tried to kill it off.

Saw a group of people in the Forest Hills T stop singing.
One was dressed in a dinosaur costume.
It's all well and good when spring is in the air.
But fall just...hits different.
