Chelsea, MA PLUS

Last night there was a huge string of what sounded like gunshots to me but with all the fireworks going off in the city lately and nothing being done about it it’s hard to tell anymore, but to me these sounded like gunshots.
when I look outside there’s obvious hoodlum gang members from one side of the street all the way down to the next with hookers going about there crime ridden buisiness with impunity and no police to be seen, why is this being allowed. and to top it off a couple assaults One with a bat I see on the scanner from the same night this seems to be getting really dangerous and there’s no help from law enforcement.
This is an outrage and I hope someone sees this who actually is willing to help. Some people work In this city still threw this covid and these explosions nightly should be considered a public health emergency.Along with it

I’ve really tried figuring out what the heck has been going on these last months. I’m positive the booming explosions that go off multiple times a week in the midddle of the night are NOT fireworks. I have lived here my entire life and I know my neighborhood very well. I know fireworks, loud and really loud. They’re common to this area and are expected during warm weather, but this has never ever once been an issue at all. I have had to call the station and report it twice now because it’s that abmormal and absolutely terrifying, and I want to at least have it documented in some way. I have always felt safe here, but these booms seriously send chills throughout my body and trigger such bad anxiety. I have never had problems managing my mental health issues in my entire life here, and this should not be happening. I really do hope that the residents in this area who have been aware of this happening get some answers soon about this. I shouldn’t feel like I’m in a war zone at my house when I’m not in the military, nor have I ever been. I can’t believe that no one knows what it is or that it’s been written off as “fireworks”? Or noise from the rt 1 construction site. I know both extremely well, and I think so does everyone else.

there is a tj max cart in the sidewalk. please remove

Ice cream truck at park. Unmasked man serving. No social distancing in line, lots of unmasked people in line.

This neighborhood has fireworks every night, tonight it's 10 george.

A utility box attached to the telephone pole at the entrance to the parking lot; front panel has fallen off.
The panel is resting at the base of the telephone pole. Looks like the Scotch Tape that kept it together has given way to the recent rains, etc.

Why no street sweeping, if rubbish can be collected our streets can be cleaned---I hope the city leaders don't let the city go to pot because of the virus, we must keep the city as clean as possible especially during this time
