I can’t tell from looking at the BA info if they’ll be closing I90 this year or not for the practices. I have chemo to get to and I’m really hoping it’s like last year, when they didn’t close it down, but is there any info on this?

WSB August 2, 2023 (11:19 am)

No, they will not. They changed things a few years back so that would no longer be required.

  Thank you so much! That’s a relief!

air show question August 2, 2023 (11:24 am)

I’m not a plane aficionado, but had a dumb plane question. I googled all the planes listed on the air show schedule and did not see bi-planes listed. That’s one of the parts of the show I’ve always enjoyed (the fun tricks from the bi-planes). Does anyone know if they are part of the show this year, or when they are scheduled? They were usually in the early part of the day. Thanks!

  Thanks! I had looked through all the posted schedules but didn’t scroll further to see those photos, lol.

Does anyone know what was going on at Lincoln Park today? The whole south-end parking lot was closed to the public, at least at 11:45. Made things a little tricky getting to swim lessons at Colman Pool. If it’s going to be a recurring thing this summer we will plan around it.
