Here Cyntia handles a couple of two lb lobsters with no protective lobster bands. Never once did we hear her complain.

You see the Boston skyline in the backgtound. A hop skip and a jump to the big city and within this Designated Port Area it’s all blight.
Chelsea and East Boston DPA (Designated Port Area), originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The sites are the same in every single city with a DPA. Chelsea, East Boston, Salem, Fall River, New Bedford. Boston has activity on it’s waterfront but the regulators tell us that “it’s different for Boston”. All of these towns have struggled with budget crisis and they all have their waterfront hampered by the failure that is Designated Port Area Zoning. Hell, Chelsea even went into recievership. No one wants to give up on our working waterfront but changes are needed within the framework of a Designated Port Area Designation that will allow for growth.
Go ahead and look back at that list of names -Chelsea, East Boston, Salem, Fall River, New Bedford and Gloucester. All operating under DPAs and all struggling.

Lobster Weathervane, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Check out this Lobster Weathervane. The guy a couple doors down from Dominos Pizza now sells a wide variety of weathervanes. The same guy that sharpens knives and fixes lawn mowers.
Obviously this one appealed to me. I don’t have a cupola to attatch it to but I’m seriously considering putting one up.
