Skim over most of today’s Herald story on the launch of the Future Boston Alliance, a new non-profit geared toward loosening the city’s regulations and making Boston a more lively, more entrepreneurial, more fun place to live. Blow right past Greg Selkoe, the streetwear kingpin who is funding the effort and tweaking Mayor Tom Menino. The most revealing passage in the Herald piece is the quote from former Boston city councilor and veteran politics sage Larry DiCara. Specifically, DiCara doesn’t reflexively dismiss Selkoe, and he doesn’t dismiss the notion that a block of city residents who don’t normally turn out in municipal elections could coalesce and bring political pressure to bear on City Hall. In fact, DiCara says, Boston’s most famous boss, James Michael Curley, got broomed out of office by John Hynes because Curley was on the wrong end of a youth-driven reform movement.

It’s the ninth inning, bases loaded, no outs, and the Big Lug (aka Curt Schilling) is on the mound, trying to keep the dreams of his video game company alive.

No, wise guy, WFNX has not already been off the air for a couple years. But the alternative rock icon will be signing off after Phoenix publisher Stephen Mindich sold his baby to radio behemoth Clear Channel and all but four of the station’s employees have been given their walking papers. The sale is pending FCC approval and the skeleton crew will keep the music going and events that are already planned will still take place until then.

The Sagamore flyover, Mitt Romney’s Cape Cod legacy, is the gift that’s stopped giving. The summer driving season is just days away, but drivers have already been experiencing weeks of soul-crushing traffic jams, including mammoth Mother’s Day weekend backups, thanks to 24/7 lane restrictions on the Sagamore Bridge due to steel work to shore up the nearly 80-year-old bridge.
