The flavor of the honey produced by Grove St. Apiary, according to its proprietor Peter Lutz, is in part attributable to the linden trees common to the West Side of the Providence. Bees don’t have to travel far to collect a variety of plant pollens in such a concentrated urban environment, Lutz says, so his honey is uniquely dense and flowery.

Kafkaesque

Maniacal machinations in Foxboro; facts are stupid things

Upstairs, downstairs
