Fun night tonight at Doyle’s in Jamaica Plain. Joe Heisler, host of the Tuesday night “Talk of the Neighborhoods” show, did a 90 minutes tenth anniversary show. His first guest was former Treasurer Bob Crane and from there, the guests just kept coming. There was one announced candidate for Governor (Deval) and one unannounced signature gatherer (Chris). Tom Menino and Ray Flynn. All types of councillors, state reps and senators, Sheriff Cabral, DA Conley and tons of “operatives”, old and new.
Media presence was definitely “old school”, Alan Lupo, Brian Mooney, Larry Harmon (the younguns probably can’t find Doyle’s …).
Thanks to Joe for his love of politics and what he does, which is unique in this most political of cities. Tonight politicians of all ideologies and ethnicities came together and a good time was had by all.
PS – look for some news re: a coming Boston City Council vacancy, lots of buzz tonight at several events about it.

That gives “article not found”. What did the article say?

Ask for the Council stenographic machine output, a public record of the councilors’ speeches during the Council’s public proceedings.
