Karma

This is totally off topic but is something on my mind. Now I want to first start by saying I do not believe in karma, luck, “it was meant to be” stuff. Saying that, the other day I saw a group of people pushing their car down the street in front of my house. I yelled out, “did you run out of gas”, and of course they did. I proceeded to get my gas can so that they could put a bit into their car. They seemed very grateful when I was gong to get the gas but once they finished pouring it into their tank they drove off with a quick thanks. Now today at the gym I found one of those wallet locker keys in the locker room. Instead of checking out the locker I dropped the key off at the front desk and let them know I had found it. Now I did these things because it is just the right thing to do and I was not looking for anything in return but it would be nice if it seemed people were more grateful. It would have been nice if they offered to pay for the gas, not that I would have taking any money but I would have enjoyed the gesture. As for the key I dropped off, I didn’t even get a thank you. So I guess I am just hoping that all of this good karma I’m building up will help me out with my knee!

The Estates at Page Hill

Just wanted to show you a picture of the new properties going up at “The Estates at Page Hill”. These properties are located on Robinson Drive; they are near the Lexington boarder off of Page Road and they are selling for just shy of 1.4 million.

Depot Park

Wonderful news for those of us that live near the Depot Park. The paving has finally been scheduled; it will be done this week (weather depending) on Thursday and Friday. You may want to avoid that area because of police details and detours (as if you haven’t already).

When to Get Thinks Done

I am under the impression that the best time to get things done is in the summer. This is not to put down the ZBA, Planning Board, or any other of our towns boards, they continue to do a wonderful job all year round. I only bring this up because I just don’t think people pay as close attention to things going on in the summer, there is too many other things to do like vacation! I only bring this up because I am also a victim of this. I was planning on writing (almost a month ago) about 40B’s, foreclosures, and the housing glut and maybe I’ll still get back to this at some point but as of yet have still not got to it. The amount of reading material I have been planning to read continues to grow, as does my grass. I guess I’ll blame it on my kids and wife, the easy way out. I will try to make contributions more often but until that fall chill hits, no guarantees.

Some random things you might have interest in:

• AvalonBay was in the news again. They are having issues with their sign and one of their one-way roads. You can get more information at Citizens for a Safe Bedford website.



• There is plans for a new restaurant on Burlington Road called Flatbread. One interesting note is that they are planning on serving liquor.



• Bruce Blake’s 40B property, Patriot Place, is having issues with the HDC. There is a disagreement with both the outside lighting and the wall units planned for his property.



• The intersection at the Depot Park is still all torn up. I mention this only because it was planned to have already been paved by this point and them working on the traffic lights. Mainly I mention this because I have to drive and walk over all of the time and I eagerly await the asphalt to go down!

I hope you all enjoyed this weekend’s firework. Enjoy your summer and all that Bedford has to offer.
