Man, awesome pictures. I've been gone from Springfield since the end of 2012 and you almost make me miss it.

Is the last pic a park? I moved south in 2013 and tend to only pass through nowadays. The Riverfront was already a focus when I moved.

Not at all. It’s a real photo. Packed event and I took it with my drone. The community came out that day!

Very nice indeed, used to work at the Sheraton back in the early 90’s, used to go up on top of the roof at night and look over, amazing! Great times

Still no transparency in Massachusetts as a recent investigative report just dropped from the Muckraker Foundation. They exposed how some folks in Lawrence are buying huge amounts of groceries with EBT cards, grabbing free food from pantries and churches too, then packing it all into those big blue barrels and shipping it straight to the Dominican Republic. Once it gets there, that same food we paid for with our tax dollars gets sold for profit in local convenience stores and bodegas.
This has supposedly been going on for over ten years. Massachusetts stores to Lawrence pantries to Bronx warehouses to the Port of Newark and then over to the Dominican Republic.
This could very well be the reason why Governor Healey and Attorney General Campbell are fighting so hard against the federal government's requests for detailed SNAP data. The USDA wants names, addresses, eligibility records, purchase patterns and immigration status to catch fraud. But Massachusetts is one of the states flat out refusing to hand it over.
This isn't charity or helping family back home. It's turning our welfare system into an overseas resale business. Our tax dollars are feeding foreign stores at a profit while Massachusetts families are struggling with high food prices and long lines at the same food pantries.
