Wu speaks out about increasing criminal activity around Mass and Cass

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:16:16 GMT

Mayor Michelle Wu is now sounding the alarm about the situation in the area of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, or Mass and Cass, and said it’s reaching a breaking point.“With additional drug activity, human trafficking and violence, the number of emergency calls have gone up significantly,” Wu said Wednesday. “The workers who’ve been out there day after day after day, are not feeling comfortable and like they can safely be there anymore.” For years, homeless people have flocked to the troubled area around Mass and Cass near where the South End and Roxbury neighborhoods meet. It’s also been a hub for drug dealing and for those with opioid-use disorder.“As always, we’re looking to connect people with housing, services, and supports, but we also know many of the people at Mass and Cass during the day do have housing. We continue to engage regularly with everyone to understand what their needs are,” Wu said.The mayor said she’s worked to sec...

Warmer Tomorrow, Storms on the Way

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:16:16 GMT

Editor’s Note: This blog was written by 7Weather intern Tyler Hughes. Another comfortable August day in the books! The August supermoon was in full force last night, and if you didn’t get a chance to see, tonight will again feature clear skies perfect for viewing. Look to the Eastern sky around 9-10pm for the best viewing. When a supermoon occurs, the moon is in the closest point to Earth in its orbit, so this also affects our tides – just like last night, a Coastal Flood Statement is in effect this evening for localized splashover in our coastal communities. The next high tide is around 12:30am tonight.If you don’t have a chance to catch tonight’s moon, you’re in luck – the full moon at the end of August will also be a supermoon. Tomorrow, expect temperatures to climb into the lower 80s, remaining in the 70s along the coastline. It will be breezy at times, especially in the afternoon hours.Tomorrow will also be hazy at times, thanks to...
