City to Talk Noisy Nighttime Trash Collection

Councilors Mike Ross and Felix Arroyo have been working to pass a Home Rule Petition to allow city regulation of commercial trash collection.

The hearing starts at 2 p.m. in the City Council's chambers. 2. There will be one less business in Charlestown soon. Friendly's is going bankrupt and closing 63 of its restaurants, including the one in the Bunker Hill Mall. This is a hard time for anyone to be out of a job. And it could be a hard time to recruit a new business to that space. 3. Margaret …
