The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Aug. 4, 2010

Meriden: prospects for $300,000 to begin razing Factory H and remediating the pollutants in the vicinity are good, as the money is on the state Bond Commission’s list next week. It will be an exciting process to see this site emerge from a long shadow of industrial abuse.

Meriden’s National Night Out Tuesday evening in City Park had the best sort of a problem to have: there were so many folks out having a good time that no one could count them. IT was a fine community-builder.

Manchester: here’s a demonstration, which cost nine lives, of how necessary it is for people to be able to walk around with firearms for their “self defense.” Supposing that this shooter, who took his own life so we will never know, had been the target of the worst sort of racial abuse, there is no justification for shooting people at random.
