I could run an APUSH class for a week on this one without breaking a sweat.
Yeah, it would not have survived the turn in American politics we usually label as Jacksonian...
Not normally a fan of the Old Democracy (i've answered "Conscience Whig" on questionnaires -- but the Old Democracy would have put paid to a hereditary senate....
Dishing the Whigs is a thing, going back to when there were Whigs.

They pack a lot of 'urban' into a very modest sized city. In all kinds of ways.
The old inflatable Orson the Bear from the factory roof used to get 'invited' to Holy Cross parties. The present rigid plastic, entirely too buff bear up there now was designed to be harder to borrow.

Only other times: August 22, 1976 vs #Angels and September 8, 1937 also vs #RedSox.

Taught in rural/exurban Maine for years. Gang signs. I remember that. Had a bod in from the staties to talk to us about it.
(I went to high school in Dorchester, had taught in Roslindale, and subbed in Eastie -- so let us just say, eyes were rolled...)
Read everything serious you write going public out loud. Even if it's just to yourself - reading it out loud anybody else is even better.
That paragraph was never read out loud, I'd bet my life on it.
