  • Deputy Chief Paul Upton Retires by Douglas Yu Paul Upton, Deputy Chief of the Somerville Police Department, Is Going to Step Down on Monday
    VOL. 1 NO. 3 SOMERVILLE, MASS. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2013 TWENTY-FIVE CENTS Inside: Deputy Chief Paul Upton retires By Douglas Yu Paul Upton, Deputy Chief of the Somerville Police Department, is going to step down on Monday. After serving the city for approximate- ly 30 years, the native Somerville resident, born to Irish immigrants family, said his job was not going to stop from there. “I love the city. I spend most of my life here,” Upton said. “I always wanted to get involved in community safety service. By being a police offi- cer it lays the foundation for me to move to the They all cry next chapter.” ‘rat!’ Upton said that being a police officer was more page 3 of a vocation than a career, and “it was almost like a calling,” as he recalled when he took the job when he was 34 years old. “If you want to be a police officer, and you know that’s what you want to do, I looked up a lot of police officers from Cambridge, Somer- ville and other places,” Upton said. “They were my mentors even before I came on this job.” “I want to help people” is the answer when Upton was asked why he wanted to be a police officer. And when asked the reason why Upton wanted to help, he said that his parents had a strong influence on him.

  • Live Nation Expands Renowned New England Booking Team
    February 11, 2019 Live Nation Expands Renowned New England Booking Team Boston, MA (Feb. 11)– Live Nation Entertainment, the world’s leading live entertainment company, today announced two new hires and reorganized booking responsibilities for Live Nation New England and Boston-based concert promoter Crossroads Presents. Dustin Labbe and Alex Pickert join the well-established booking team as talent buyers, while the group’s existing roster is shifting responsibilities to maximize support for venues and artists across the region. In his new role, Labbe will oversee bookings at Brighton Music Hall (MA). Labbe began his career booking local electronic shows in Boston, while running an underground music label/collective, Lifted Contingency. He went on to study Entertainment Management at Bay State College while working as a booking assistant at Live Nation New England/Crossroads Presents. 2018 saw Labbe expand as an Account Manager at Reebok, specializing in unique entertainment events before returning to Live Nation/Crossroads Presents earlier this year. Pickert will be responsible for the Crossroads Presents’ bookings at local venues ONCE Somerville (MA), Arts at the Armory (MA) and Café 939 (MA). He joins Live Nation from the Middle East Restaurant & Nightclub where he was a lead talent buyer for two years. He has also promoted shows around Boston under Coach & Sons Olde Time Family Booking, a highly successful emo/pop punk karaoke event that secured 5-10 shows a month at Great Scott with local and regional bands. To meet the needs of the market, Live Nation New England and Crossroads Presents have also shifted day-to-day duties within the booking department, effective immediately: Ryan Vangel, VP of Talent Booking, will now be responsible for booking Fenway Park (MA) and Rockland Trust Bank Pavilion formerly Blue Hills Bank Pavilion (MA), as well as Live Nation New England’s bookings at the DCU Center (MA), TD Garden (MA), and Gillette Stadium.

  • The Demolition of Boston Garden: an Examination of Sports Stadia in Historic Preservation
    THE DEMOLITION OF BOSTON GARDEN: AN EXAMINATION OF SPORTS STADIA IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Michael LaFlash May 2019 © 2019 Michael LaFlash ABSTRACT The closing and subsequent demolition of Boston Garden in 1995 marked the end of an era in a city steeped in history. Boston, Massachusetts is a place that proudly displays its colonial-era and 19th-century architecture interspersed amongst a 21st-century cityscape. Often overlooked, however, is the city’s iconic 20th-century structures, whose impact on the cultural identity of the city rival that of its predecessors. It was in this vein that Boston Garden saw a massive push for redevelopment, resulting in the creation of the FleetCenter, today known as TD Garden. The following discussion is an historical case study of a 20th-century Boston sporting venue that was demolished and redeveloped. The life and death of Boston Garden, former home of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association, among many other sports teams and functions outside of sports, provides an in-depth look into the world of historic preservation, and why specific buildings are or are not preserved. An extensive look at Boston Garden perfectly displays the complexities behind large- scale, real-estate development, and the role individual ownership groups, city officials, the current political environment, and many other factors have on the decision-making process. Boston Garden arose as the city’s preeminent sporting and exhibition hall during a time that citizens, politicians, and decision makers longed for progress and acceptance as a 20th- century American city.
