Patrick Mendoza, owner of Monica’s Trattoria, wanted for attempted murder and other charges, still at large

Update: There is lot's of misinformation swirling about this story and it's developing constantly.

Mendoza is still at large. Nobody knows how or why his arraignment appeared in the court system.

We're not going to try to keep up with it now that all the major outlets are covering it. If a North End-specific angle develops, we'll pick it back up.

Mirabella Pool registration system less than ideal

Just like 2021 and 2022, visiting the Mirabella Pool in 2023 requires a reservation. The days are divided into four two-hour blocks starting at 11am (there is also a lap swim block at 8:15 each morning).

Potential pool visitors need to register for an account on BCYF's third-party "recreation management software" site then select one of the blocks and "checkout" for zero dollars. A bit cumbersome, but OK. That is, except for all the problems.
