The EU

Occulted Streets


For John, BLUFIn Twelver Shia Islam, the Twelfth Imam is the hidden, the ocullted, Imam, who comes at the end times.  See Richard Bulliet's book, The Tomb of the Twelfth Imam.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



It appears that I received a parking ticket on Frday, 8 April of this year.  The loction was Francis Street.

I received a letter from the City of Lowell yesterday, telling me I was late in paying my fine.$nbsp; It was a surprise, as I don't recall seeing a parking ticket under the wiper.  I didn't recognize Francis Street and looked for it on my iPad, and then Google Maps.  Zip.  My wife confirmed it.

I then drove to the Election Office, where the Departmnt Head is the Hearing Officer.  But, Shannon, who has the Conn, since Elliott Veloso departed for Cambridge, went for the practical issues.  She too looked for Francis Street and could not find it, even in the database of voters.  At this point I drove to the Parking Office, which noted that there is a Francis Street, off Dutton, where the old Giant used to be (before my time)  I won a Quarter bet on Elliott being in Cambridge, but was told it was too late for an appeal, per the rules.

The important information was that Francis Street is off of Dutton Street.  I drove the area and while there was no street sign for Francis, there was an unsigned street off of Canal, running toward the offices of the National Paark Service and LTC.  I had paid a visit to LTC around that time, so that seems to narrow it down.

I returned to City Hall and the Elections Ofdfice and Shannon escorted me up to where I had to pay, where another very fine City Employee greeted me by name and accepted my $30 in payment and late fees.

So, Francis Street is still occulted, but I did send an EMail off to the Hamilton Canal Innovation District Chief Design Planner.
