MBTA Communities Act loses support | Worst Boston sports logo | Warren’s bad podcast day | The alienation of Diana DiZoglio | Tufts is in the ‘new Ivy League’
Quick weekly note: I should write more about sports logos, not business and politics, based on the response to my post earlier this week on the all-time worst Boston sports team logo. It got more hits than any other item I’ve written about since reviving Hub Blog last year. I also got to write a bit more about local pols and political issues in recent days, thanks to a relatively slow shock-and-awe week by the Trump administration, though there’s still time left in the week for the presidential wrecking crew to create some old-fashioned chaos. Anyway, below are my HB posts from the past week, one of which includes a special John ‘Hog’ Hannah video clip. Enjoy. … J.F.
