This is not the prettiest photo we have ever published but it may be the most important. This accident took place a few days ago on Blue Hill Terrace, one of many side streets in Milton used as a cut through. However, this street is especially dangerous due to a small hill with a sharp angle of decline such that drivers cannot see what is on the other side. In addition if one is speeding and unaware this can happen. It is a blind hill. We understand no one was hurt. Please use caution and show respect when traveling these roads.

Source confirms ‘Top Chef’ harassment

from The Boston Globe

Bravo would not comment Wednesday on a Deadline.com report that members of the local Teamsters Union used racist, sexist, and homophobic language to harass and intimidate “Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi and staff while the popular food show was in town shooting its new season. A source close to the network did tell us that details of the Deadline account are true, but said the incident outside Steel & Rye restaurant in Milton was isolated. (Read the full story here.
