Boston Seventh Strangest City in U.S.
Boston Blotter: Gang Shooting in Dorchester
An outbound Green Line trolley struck an MBTA supervisor this morning. The AP reports that the supervisor was there to check out an unauthorized tree-cutting near Reservoir on the D line.
The incident happened at about 10:20 am, the Globe reports. Joe Pesaturo at the MBTA said the supervisor hurt his left arm.
Bostonist isn't superstitious, nor do we believe in ghosts, but today's incident gives rise to the question--what is happening on the Green Line? Between trains rear-ending each other and alleged perverts, it's turning into an amusement-park ride.

You don't want to know how right you are. Every fall brings the Dixie Classic Fair to the town where I went to college, and I immediately recognized its counterpart five years ago when I moved to Boston and took the Green Line every day: the mysterious sources of stickiness, the crippled/cripplingly loud musicians, the impossibility of finding an out-of-the-way place to stand, machines that hadn't been inspected since the Johnson Administration.
The Dixie Classic Fair does have funnel cake, though.
