Mass and Cass spillover leads to dismantling of Boston pop-warner football program

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:52:32 GMT

A dozen children from Roxbury participated in drills Saturday morning, preparing for what they hope is another football season with the Boston Bengals pop-warner program.Unsanitary conditions at Clifford Park, where practices are held, has led Domingos DaRosa to begin dismantling his program. If he doesn’t receive enough funds to purchase new equipment by Aug. 1, his players will have to find an opportunity somewhere else.DaRosa created the Boston Bengals 24 years ago, when the program attracted 300 children, ages 3 to 15, to Clifford Park. But that number has dwindled to just a couple dozen as of last year.DaRosa points to the needles, human feces and other trash that litter the 8-acre park as the driving factor behind the increasing lack of interest from players and parents to participate in the program.“I would rather let our children participate with other programs which is going to cause disruption because they’ll have to travel outside the neighborhood,” DaRosa told the ...

Diversify or die: San Francisco’s downtown is a wake-up call for other cities

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:52:32 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jack Mogannam, manager of Sam’s Cable Car Lounge in downtown San Francisco, relishes the days when his bar stayed open past midnight every night, welcoming crowds that jostled on the streets, bar hopped, window browsed or just took in the night air.He’s had to drastically curtail those hours because of diminished foot traffic, and business is down 30%. A sign outside the lounge pleads: “We need your support!”“I’d stand outside my bar at 10 p.m. and look, it would be like a party on the street,” Mogannam said. “Now you see, like, six people on the street up and down the block. It’s a ghost town.”After a three-year exile, the pandemic now fading from view, the expected crowds and electric ambience of downtown have not returned.Empty storefronts dot the streets. Large “going out of business” signs hang in windows. Uniqlo, Nordstrom Rack and Anthropologie are gone. Last month, the owner of Westfield San Francisco Centre, a fixture for more than 20 years, said ...
