DTX Roche Bros Groceries opens April 29th
Last Monday The Boston Globe reported that Roche Bros. Supermarkets will open the doors of its new 25,000 square foot flagship grocery store in Downtown Crossing on Wednesday, April 29. I’m just happy to see life coming back to Downtown Crossing and a viable grocery store moving into the Downtown Crossing neighborhood.
The new Roche Bros. will feature grab-and-go items as well as several hot and cold food bars on the ground floor. A lower level, which formerly housed Filene’s Basement, will house a traditional grocery store with a bakery, deli, specialty cheeses, meats and fresh seafood.

What will it take for Republican “moderates” to stop making excuses
While it is true that Michele Bachmann is now a former Republican US Congresswoman and not running in the Republican Presidential Primary, she was part of the Republican Party’s leadership until earlier this year, and a former Republican Presidential primary candidate.
What will it take for alleged Republican Party “moderates” to forsake their party and stop making excuses for the inexcusable?
So when I discount the current field of Republicans who have announced their run for office of the President of the U.S. let’s keep in mind the former crop which doesn’t just end with Michele “I am a quack” Bachmann. It is harder and harder for me to take anyone who identifies with this party as a serious candidate.
No matter how liberal the ideas are from progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, there is no comparison to the faith-laced gibberish all Conservatives seem to fall back upon. Bachmann’s comments are not the exception to the rule they are becoming more and more the language of the Republican Party.

Realm health and fitness tips from Kyle
Are you feeling inspired by all the Boston marathon runners today?
Even if it isn’t exactly summer weather the sun has finally melted all of the snow that once encapsulated Boston and it is a great day to cheer on all the marathon runners. I’m not suggesting that you run a marathon, but goal setting by training to perform well in a specific event is an amazing way to focus your training and stay motivated to get results.
Here are some well maintained jogging and biking paths along the Charles River.

USA TODAY / Suffolk University poll finds Americans expect marriage equality for all
The Supreme Court hears arguments next week in a landmark case on gay marriage, but most Americans already have made up their minds and the general consensus is that there’s no turning back according to a nationwide USA TODAY / Suffolk University Poll that was published this past weekend.
Those surveyed say by 51%-35% that it’s no longer practical for the Supreme Court to ban same-sex marriages because so many states have legalized them. One reason for the change in public views on the issue: Close to half say they have a gay or lesbian family member or close friend who is married to someone of the same sex.
USA TODAY published the full findings of their survey which also explores people’s attitudes / opinions on businesses seeking the right to discriminate on who they serve; using the excuse of ‘religious freedom’. Some of the findings surprised me and some of the findings disappointed me – only reinforcing Signorile’s point in his new book, It’s Not Over.

Boston Marathon
Today is Patriot’s Day, a holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, but ever since 1897, Patriot’s Day has also been race day for the Boston Marathon. This year’s marathon marks the 119th anniversary of the Boston Marathon, making it the world’s oldest annual marathon. It is also one of my favorite days to be in Boston. Even though the weather this year is cool and rainy, I’ll be celebrating by watching the Red Sox at Fenway and cheering on the marathon runners as they come into Back Bay.
Check out Boston Magazine’s Boston Marathon Guide
My congratulations to all the runners and sincere thanks to the Boston Athletic Association, city of Boston, the volunteers and first responders who help to make this world class event such a special day to me and everyone else in the city.

Adam seems to be confused about the weather. But he seems to pull off the ‘contemplative’ look convincingly enough in his Emporio Armani underwear. Watch out Max Emerson.
(Ireland) Marriage Equality: Bring your family with you
I don’t think there are many people who read my blog who live in Ireland but I don’t think of LGBT rights in terms of cities, states, or nations. I think of them as human rights so I wanted to take a moment to voice my support and ask anyone who might have connections to Ireland to reach out and encourage people to vote yes next month.
Boston’s affordable home buying program
Last month one of my readers noted my real estate themed posts only showcase costly new construction like the Ink Block, Four Seasons, etc… and after reflecting upon that constructive criticism, I thought I’d give a shout out to Boston’s affordable home buying program.
Boston has a well deserved reputation for being an expensive city to live, but there are opportunities to purchase and rent more affordable condominiums and apartments if you are persistent and know where to look. One such resource is the BRA Affordable Units website, which lists existing affordable units.
There is more information about Boston’s affordable housing program on the BRA website, bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/housing/overview. While this program can take time and requires a lot of paperwork – it can really pay off. I know this firsthand because back in 2002 / 2003, Sergio and I decided to look into this program. At the time, Sergio was working as a flight attendant and I was working at a health and human services nonprofit; our combined income was barely enough to afford rent but thanks to Sergio’s persistence after a few missed opportunities we were able to purchase a home through Boston’s affordable home buying program at Rollins Square in the South End.
Of course there remains a chronic shortage of affordable housing in Boston and the Mayor and surrounding communities need to do more to help make housing and rentals more affordable but there are properties available (and in some great neighborhoods) if you do your homework. For all you would-be home buyers, I wish you luck in finding the perfect property for you.
Scruffy Sunday
Quite the handsome couple but my back would be killing me if I was the guy in the tighty-whities on the bed.
