Hardware
“Sometimes I forget how compressed the Northeast is, a tiny corner of the map weighed down by its vast population.
Arlington, to the north and west of Cambridge, isn’t small compared to some tiny burg in upstate Maine. The town has flavors all its own: upscale Arlington near the golf courses; downscale Arlington, its public schools in continual crisis; the town within a town called Arlington Heights. Up the hill past the water tower lurks Classic Main Street, Any Town, USA, lined with small groc...ery stores, a musty hardware emporium, a soda fountain, a pharmacy that’s not linked to a major franchise, and a gun shop.
WE BUY, WE SELL shouted letters blazoned across the display window. If you live nearby, you know who owns it. If you don’t, well, we don’t coddle outsiders.
Many cops prefer to buy their personal artillery outside the Boston-Cambridge axis. Mooney was probably not an outsider.
“I don’t like this,” I told Mooney as he parked across the street.
“Your ankle okay?”MoreLess
