The West Hills and West Rock neighborhood’s Democratic Party ward committee unanimously voted to endorse retired public space inspector Honda Smith for alder in a race against the committee’s own co-chair, and the ward’s incumbent alder, Michelle Edmonds-Sepulveda.

Police arrested a babysitter for allowing a 2‑year-old boy to wander alone in West Hills. And thieves on Blake Street made off with a Chinese delivery order after at least simulating having a handgun.
Glasses were raised at 50 Fitch Restaurant and Bar not for the Boston Red Sox on the TV screen, but for the familiar face from around the city looking to launch a second career as an elected official.

Or its government has gone off the rails and needs drastic change amid looming crises.

Two pit bulls — one white, the other white and brown — ran into a man’s Pond Lily Avenue backyard.
The white and brown pit bull did the killing. The same dog killed the man’s rabbit last year. But this year the dog got caught, by New Haven Animal Control.
Meanwhile, the police department’s bomb squad also got to detonate a Japanese World War II grenade found in a resident’s garage.
