Brown, Harvard, Yale. Pawtucket teen has been accepted to all 3, and more

Mitchell orders New Bedford basketball rims, soccer nets removed
Marjorie Oliver: I'm not there right now, I'm out of state. However I am hearing that there are people hanging around uptown at the bus terminal. These people just don't get it! I'm so infuriated! I have two sisters that live there, and adhere to the Stay At Home Order. Why can't people just do what they are supposed to do?
Alexandra Maria Rebelo: Last night went for a walk and saw 6 idiots playing with remote control cars. These idiots were between 45-60 years old and all standing next to each other talking, racing and comparing their toy cars. The teenagers walking weren’t as irresponsible.
Michael A. Gemaly: It's just horrible. I am sad for humanity. I am sad for this generation. I am heartbroken for the children. This is no way to live. I keep praying and I will keep praying. I have become humbled at the life I've had and how much goodness I had, that I never had to worry about such things growing up. I am embarrassed at how unappreciatedly blessed I have been.

Kristina Towle: Time to send workers home!!!
