Anyho, last we heard he's into property development - 224 Chandler St. - converting a 3-decker into a restaurant or some hangout for Allman Brothers fans - doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
In fact what Paulie's done is create another glaring eyesore on Chandler St., (see photos) just like the folks he blames around the fictitious Village of Piedmont (VOP). Remember Common Ground? Guess Paulie ain't looked in the mirror recently. Thinking here about this VOP thing. He still hasn’t proven VOP ever existed. Maybe he oughta talk to the old guy at the T&G – Southwick.
Let’s talk about CBA for a sec. Paul Collyer (Call Paulie at 617-625-2140) carries the title of president of the Chandler Business Association, a group allegedly comprised of every business in and around Chandler St., but in reality it’s just a vehicle for Paulie and Bill to profile themselves. And a lot of good that's done em - made em local pariahs. The CBA is a typical business association with no record of achievements, or for that matter, any stated purpose.
What’s the Paulie's track record since taking over from Bill Randell. Let’s see… um… gotta think here. I got it! Paulie managed to get the city to pay for a bike racks on Chandler St.
Now taking it a step further, what exactly has Holden resident and local businessman Bill Randell done for the citizens of Worcester while he was at the CBA helm? Nothing in fact.
I’ve gotten off track. This SMOC controversy is exactly what this city’s voters need to see, their elected officials up close and personal and the self-serving non-profits in action, the city manager's nefarious manipulations, political outsiders trying to score points. Oh, that Bill Eddy publicly went ballistic on Paulie - precious. Folks, it just doesn’t get any better this. Only in Wusta!
Gotta end this thing. So, God bless Paulie Collyer. That’s right, I said it. God bless Paulie Collyer for pushing their buttons and showing Wusta what clowns we have for so called leaders.
Ya know, maybe I’ll finally invite Paulie to our family Xmas party this year. After all these years, I feel like we’re kindred souls. But I heard he don't like kids and cats.
Well, maybe just a Christmas card.
