In the last few days and weeks the conversations in the neighborhoods of Chelsea have centered on a few important topics. Some of them include: Have you been able to get the COVID-19 vaccine yet? Another: how do you feel about the crises and human tragedy situation created by Joe Biden and his administration at the southern boarder? Also, but not surprisingly: why did the City take down the Christopher Columbus statue in Chelsea Square? The last question and discussion seem to strike a serious chord among the people in our community. As an woman stated to me a few days ago on a Saturday morning: “I’m depressed…I just walked through Chelsea Square and saw the Columbus statue laying in the back of a City truck! Why would the City take down a piece of history? Why are they destroying our history!”
