You don't. Boston.com reports on Quincy city councilor Brian McNamee's fight to keep the Boston Babydolls Burlesque troupe out of town. (Not that Brian McNamee.) Other groups not welcome in the Birthplace of the American Dream include alleged creepy cults and small businesses.

Look outside the window. Grimace. Then realize that somewhere, in a magical land known as Florida, spring is only one day away. Pitchers and Catchers Day is almost here, which means that spring is creeping closer to our frozen city. Ballplayers will be ready to welcome in the season when they finally get back to Fenway.
