City Councilor At-Large and mayoral candidate Annissa Essaibi George has embarked on a “Get Boston Back to Business” tour, where she visits local businesses across the city to chat with owners about recovery efforts and what kind of support they’re looking for following the COVID-19 pandemic.
¡°Since the beginning of this tour, I¡¯ve heard directly from our city¡¯s small businesses about the real challenges they¡¯ve faced before and during this crisis,¡± Essaibi George said in a statement. ¡°Of course we¡¯re talking about recovery, but we¡¯re taking it a step further and really getting at the root issue of redesigning our economy to work for everyone. I look forward to continuing these important conversations with small businesses and employees in every single neighborhood of Boston.¡±
WORCESTER Despite frigid temperatures, a small group gathered Sunday around a large, black granite monument on the corner of Main and Agawam streets to honor and remember those who tragically lost their lives to the devastating, nondiscriminatory and destructive wrath of fire.
William T. Breault, chairman of the Main South Alliance of Public Safety, led the solemn ceremony that has been held every March 7 since the monument was dedicated in 1992 to recognize the fatal fire two years earlier at 21 Florence St., in which four people perished.
Each year on March 7, names of those who died the previous year are added to the cold slab of stone, forever etched as a constant reminder of the devastating, non-discriminatory wrath of fire.
