Fewer Airplanes

I know this is a touchy subject, but just thought this was interesting to share. I've notices fewer planes over Somerville this year so looked into it. It looks like the Milton area is now bearing the brunt of the noise that used to come to Somerville due to changes in the flight path earlier this year.

Story from January anbout flight path change

"Wig Zamore, the advisory committee’s vice president and a Somerville resident, said the system change will result in a decrease in noise for nearly 68,000 people, most of them in Boston and Cambridge. Zamore said the environmental assessment projects that fewer people overall will have planes overhead in Milton due to the more precise flight corridor.

“I agree with Judy that her neighborhood will be more affected, but East Milton will benefit,” Zamore said. “Most committee members realize it’s not what benefits ourselves and our towns, but the whole region. It’s about fairness.”"

Leather repairs

I'm looking for someone to sew some buttons and pockets on heavy suede winter coats. Doing it myself has led to failure. I also need someone to try to recondition some leather coats.

Ideas?

2 wooden chairs

If you want these two chairs, they're in the driveway of 66/68 Cameron Ave. You may have to squeeze past a parked car, but nobody here wants them.
