Update from the polls

Just got back from visiting several polling stations in Roslindale. At St. Nectarios Church on Belgrade Avenue, Boston Police nicely asked sign holders to cross the street (it was sunnier on the other side) to be 150-feet away from the polling location.

There was a rush of voters at the Roslindale Library before noon. 

Getting ahead of the race, I saw several signs touting Will Dorcena for Boston Mayor in 2013, in Roslindale Village.

Boston is coming out to vote and Ward 19 is leading the way. Shortly before 5 p.m., Dave Bernstein of the Boston Phoenix tweeted "Congrats Ward 19 -- first in the city to bust through 50% turnout#mavote #bosvote"

The Conley Elementary School's Bake Sale has gone quite well, with this post from its Facebook page shortly after 5 p.m. "Thank you for all the donations! We've reached $1,000!"
