#SomervilleMA will wait in line a long time for bakery goods.
The line outside of Petsi Pies this morning is amazing!
It’s also the busiest I’ve ever seen the Star lot (compare with last night when it was a ghost town even when market basket was packed).

Hard agree. You know it wouldn't go like that for @mayorwu.boston.gov . He would treat her like he treats female journalists. Women know this.
It's very wise to make this call. Don't pretend otherwise.
