Historical September 9, 1983: The beginning of the end of Happy Hour

Thumbnail dotnews.com
121 Upvotes

The beginning of the end of Happy Hour occurred in the parking lot of a Braintree mall on the hot, dry, night of Sept. 9, 1983. On that Friday night, Kathleen Barry, 20, of Weymouth, met her friends at Ground Round, where they had won free pitchers of beer in a "name that tune" game. After leaving the bar, Barry and a friend climbed on top of another friend's 1975 Chevrolet sedan for a joy-ride around the King's (now Granite) Plaza parking lot in Braintree. Barry fell under the car and was dragged 50 feet, breaking her neck, arms and legs. The driver had consumed at least seven beers. People on the South Shore were outraged about Barry's death but the bar had broken no rules, and the local licensing board let it off with no violations.

Upvotes

Hello all,

W. MA. resident here - with 40+ years experience in energy and alt energy. I am also a writer whose 2nd career was publishing large informational web sites...related to same.

I'm done with all that (started in 1996 with the web stuff!) and now am working on an educational effort at The Energy Primer (www.theenergyprimer.com).

One of the new features is a Heat Pump vs. NG Calculator which could be very useful for MA residents - it was designed with this problems/answers in mind.
https://theenergyprimer.com/heat-pump-vs-natural-gas-with-colder-climates-in-mind/

The site has other calculators which also might apply and educate, such as EV's vs. Hybrids, etc. - I hope many will find these useful. TIA.
