Speaker 1: This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2: Thirty two degrees. We've gone partly cloudy skies in Boston.
Speaker 2: It has six o'clock and we have made it to
Speaker 2: Friday morning. It is December sixth, twenty twenty four. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. And this portion of
Speaker 2: the news is brought to you by your new England
Speaker 2: Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for joining us. I'm Jim McKay. Here's what's happening.
Speaker 2: We are waving goodbye to the snow and rain for now,
Speaker 2: but all that Arctic air we've been feeling is not
Speaker 2: heading anywhere as we get ready for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Old and blusteret today with more sun than cloud than
Speaker 1: highs only in the mid thirties, but real feels never
Speaker 1: higher than the team, and.
Speaker 2: That is WBZ akiweather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Some relief in
Speaker 2: store for the weekend in terms of losing that bite
Speaker 2: to the air. Will feel like freezing tomorrow with sunshine
Speaker 2: see astray rain or snowshower on Sunday morning. Otherwise we
Speaker 2: are freezing once again. Well at six oh one, the
Speaker 2: judge presiding over the Karen Reid case giving the green
Speaker 2: light on a motion from prosecutors to obtain full audio
Speaker 2: recordings that Karen Reid and her family conducted. Those interviews
Speaker 2: included with Boston Magazine and another Boston television station. Judge
Speaker 2: Beverly Canoni said in her decision that Reid and her
Speaker 2: attorneys should have known that all statements in her interviews,
Speaker 2: whether on the record or off, were potentially discoverable. Reid's
Speaker 2: retrial and the death of John O'Keefe is still scheduled
Speaker 2: for January, although the defense and prosecution have sought to
Speaker 2: have that start date move back to April. For a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Beginning today, the TEA has halted some
Speaker 2: downtown trains in the name of a better tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Big Yellow bosses floods Boston. The Yankee Line shuttles are here. Actually,
Speaker 3: it was pretty quick. We got there, like right around
Speaker 3: when I was there this time. The Green Line trends
Speaker 3: aren't running between Park Street and the two branches north
Speaker 3: of Boston, but the shuttles are from North Stay to
Speaker 3: Medford Toffs. For the Union Square branch, buses will have
Speaker 3: to cover that stretch on the way end.
Speaker 4: It was very quick.
Speaker 3: This is the last closure of the MBTA's track improvement program,
Speaker 3: which aims to eliminate all speed restrictions before the new year.
Speaker 4: It's nice to see that they're actually improving it.
Speaker 1: It is what it is now, the TEA says.
Speaker 3: However, if there are potential slow zones in the future,
Speaker 3: there'll be more short term and not stick around for
Speaker 3: years like in the past. From North Station, Jay Willette WBZ,
Speaker 3: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Well, the Celtics hosting the Bucks tonight at the Garden.
Speaker 2: Three college football championship games tonight. It is conference championship weekend.
Speaker 2: You've got the Bruins taken on the Flyers for some
Speaker 2: Saturday matinee hockey tomorrow, and the Lions, by the way,
Speaker 2: beat the Packers at a close one on Thursday Night football,
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty one, last second field goal from Detroit.
Speaker 2: Right now, we've got thirty two degrees here, partly cloudy
Speaker 2: skies in Boston coming up here in just a few moments.
Speaker 2: A local astronauts stuck at the International Space Station still
Speaker 2: can communicating with students from local elementary schools. Now we
Speaker 2: take a look at the four day wb Z ACI
Speaker 2: weather forecast. We are starting off with partly cloudy skies
Speaker 2: here as we're just getting started, it is awfully cold
Speaker 2: out the front door. Once again. The Arctic air is
Speaker 2: sticking around with us this morning, and it's sticking around
Speaker 2: with us all day today into the afternoon. Don't have
Speaker 2: any winter precipitation to speak of. We've got real feels
Speaker 2: in the teens this afternoon, with highs right around the
Speaker 2: freezing mark. As we head into the afternoon hours for
Speaker 2: your Friday and head off towards the weekend, we will
Speaker 2: feel a little bit of that bite to the air subside.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow we're going to be feeling more like freezing, a
Speaker 2: little bit more tolerable. As today it's going to be
Speaker 2: downright just oppressive out there with that wind whipping around.
Speaker 2: And then by Sunday we could have a stray passing
Speaker 2: rain or snowshower, but outside of that, just a winteresque
Speaker 2: day highs into the upper thirties. It's actually almost going
Speaker 2: to feel like a little bit of a relief as
Speaker 2: we close out things for the weekend on Sunday. At
Speaker 2: the moment, we are looking at thirty two degrees here
Speaker 2: in Boston, partly cloudy skies, but again those real feels
Speaker 2: feeling a lot colder than that. It's six oh five
Speaker 2: on WBZ News Radio. The abandoned Carla's Shoes building is
Speaker 2: one of the lesser loan landmarks on Root one in Saugus,
Speaker 2: but it remains haunted by an urban legend. Wbz's match
Speaker 2: here separating fact from fiction.
Speaker 1: For us, the sign out front says Prada, but it's
Speaker 1: really an abandoned building. It's like it's warso of the
Speaker 1: mannequin that was in the window for the past month
Speaker 1: or two, it's Jason Rogers. He's one of the street
Speaker 1: artists responsible. We were admiring it from Kyll Looons. After
Speaker 1: we finished, we were like, yeah, that'll do. But that
Speaker 1: got the rumor mill swirling again about the building's backstores.
Speaker 1: Sounded like a little bit of a dark history, except
Speaker 1: not really. The comments are usually about Valerie Forenzo, who
Speaker 1: is found dead in her police officer boyfriend's home back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three. They claim that her parents owned
Speaker 1: this building and are letting it decay on the side
Speaker 1: of Root one as payback. The problem is that's not true.
Speaker 1: Valerie owned a consignment store in Reading. This one in
Speaker 1: Saugus has been known since nineteen eighty five by an
Speaker 1: Isabelle Smith, who did not return my messages. So while
Speaker 1: we continue to want to or why she won't sell it,
Speaker 1: at least we can laugh at the protuest sign. Again,
Speaker 1: it's a little subpersive right now. She wro at WVZ,
Speaker 1: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: And Matt, of course, has ton of great videos out
Speaker 2: there on social media. Check us out, whether it's TikTok, Instagram,
Speaker 2: everything in between at WBZ News Radio. Well, still stuck
Speaker 2: at the International Space Station, but Needum native astronauts Sonny Williams,
Speaker 2: it's not letting that stop her conversations local elementary students
Speaker 2: back here on planet Earth to Nada Williams Elementary School.
Speaker 2: This is Michion Control, Houston.
Speaker 5: It's been six months since Needum's own Sunny Williams and
Speaker 5: fellow NASA test pilot, which Wilmore, rocketed into orbit for
Speaker 5: the International Space Station, becoming stuck following issues with their
Speaker 5: Boeing Starliner capsule. While in space, Sonny has spent time
Speaker 5: doing science experiments, working out to keep her muscles from
Speaker 5: becoming week and answering questions from students at her namesake,
Speaker 5: the Sunita Williams Elementary School in Needham.
Speaker 4: This is Naomi and what happens to astronauts when they
Speaker 4: returned from space. That's a good question, and you'll probably
Speaker 4: see it because I'll be probably come visit you. But
Speaker 4: it will take probably a month or so before I
Speaker 4: get to come up to Massachusetts and visit everybody. But
Speaker 4: when we initially come back, it's pretty big jolt to
Speaker 4: the system.
Speaker 5: Sunny and Butcher are expected to come home with a
Speaker 5: SpaceX crew in February, turning their eight day mission into
Speaker 5: eight months. Brooke McCarthy WBZ Boston's News Radio, You.
