\u2602\ufe0fHot and cloudy, with a chance of thunderstorms and highs in the 80s. Sunset is at 7:24 p.m.<\/p>\n
Today we have a Free Ride<\/a> to a city that\u2019s turning into an outdoor museum. But first: who will win Tuesday\u2019s primary to earn the Democratic nomination for the Congressional seat representing the North Shore? It\u2019s hard to say.<\/p>\n Rep. Seth Moulton stepped down to run for Senate, and six people are on the Democratic primary ballot.<\/a> The winner will face Micah Jones in November; he is the only Republican running.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no external, impartial surveys that could indicate which candidates are leading and which ones are struggling to connect with voters,\u201d GBH\u2019s Adam Reilly wrote in his analysis of the race. He posed six questions that will shape the outcome, from candidates\u2019 stances on President Donald Trump, the war in Gaza and AI regulation to how much money really matters at the ballot box. You can find the whole thing here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n And as a bonus: if you\u2019re looking for something to do this weekend, GBH\u2019s Jared Bowen has two suggestions.<\/a> He recommends \u201cRhinoceros,\u201d<\/a> an absurdist play about creeping fascism at the American Repertory Theater, and the book \u201cI\u2019ll See You In My Dreams: A Sister\u2019s Memoir\u201d<\/a> by Larkin McPhee about her brother\u2019s ALS.<\/p>\n Four Things to Know<\/p>\n 1. Do you have a mail-in ballot for Tuesday\u2019s primary that you haven\u2019t returned yet? Do not put it in the mail,<\/a> Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin said. Your local city or town\u2019s elections division must receive it by the time polls close, on Tuesday at 8 p.m., and at this point there\u2019s no guarantee that the U.S. Postal Service will get it there in time.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t despair: you can use this tool to find a ballot drop box in your city or town,<\/a> find an early voting location today<\/a> or vote in person on Tuesday.<\/a> If you\u2019ve already mailed in your ballot, check whether it\u2019s been received and will be counted here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Jurors are now debating whether Lindsay Clancy will be held criminally responsible<\/a> for killing her three children in January 2023: Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. Over the last month jurors heard testimony from Clancy\u2019s former husband, Patrick Clancy; from medical workers; and from Lindsay Clancy\u2019s mother and former mother-in-law, among others. The trial has drawn a lot of public attention<\/a> and discussions about maternal mental health.<\/p>\n If jurors find Lindsay Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, she could face a sentence of life in prison. If they find her not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility she would go into a state-run mental health facility, possibly for life. In that case, she could be released at some point if her providers determine she\u2019s healthy and not a threat to herself or others.<\/p>\n 3. Members of the New Bedford City Council unanimously said they want the city\u2019s 20 Flock surveillance cameras<\/a> either covered up or taken down while city officials decide how, or whether, they\u2019d like to use them. The city\u2019s police chief suspended the cameras a few weeks ago after an officer was accused of using Flock data to track an ex-partner.<\/p>\n \u201cThe problem is the software itself and access to these databases where you could track a vehicle in real time<\/a> and throughout an extended period of time,\u201d said Matt Ross, a Northeastern professor on public policy and economics. \u201cBasically officers could just go on and sort of access these things at their own discretion, which leads to these unintended and adverse outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n 4. Bare-knuckle fighting is coming to Fenway Park tomorrow. Among the boxers will be Harry Gigliotti of Lawtown Boxing Gym in Lawrence, who comes from a family of fighters.<\/p>\n \u201cAll my family…prior to this was just boxers. I\u2019ve kind of created my own name, my own path,\u201d he told GBH\u2019s Esteban Bustillos. \u201cIt\u2019s cool to be able to have the torch passed down to me, but also create my own thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Free Ride: Lynn\u2019s outdoor museum<\/p>\n Lynn Mural <\/p>\n \n Meghan Smith<\/p>\n GBH News\n <\/p>\n Welcome to Free Ride, your weekly guide to a $0 day trip. Remember: the MBTA Commuter Rail is fare-free every Friday this summer<\/a>. As each weekend approaches, I\u2019ll invite you to take a break and find some nature, art, science, fashion, music and more \u2014 all for $0 (or as close to free as I can get).<\/p>\n My co-worker Magdiela Matta has been working on a story about<\/a> the people transforming the walls of buildings in Lynn into works of art, with murals painted by artists, sometimes with help from local teenagers. Lynn Arts and Culture Planner Marysa Angelli told her she thinks of the city as an \u201coutdoor museum.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere isn\u2019t anywhere else in Massachusetts that I think even comes to mind as the same scale,\u201d Angelli told Matta.<\/a><\/p>\n A chance to see dozens of original artworks in a Commuter Rail-accessible city for free? I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n You can see the first murals right when you get off the Newburyport\/Rockport<\/a>-bound Commuter Rail at Lynn Interim Station,<\/a> the temporary stop you can use until the MBTA rebuilds the old station a few blocks away. From the platform, you can see a photorealistic painting of a person sniffing a pink rose and a black-capped chickadee, the Massachusetts state bird.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n As you make your way around town, pull up this online map from Beyond Walls,<\/a> a nonprofit based in Lynn that\u2019s behind a lot of these murals. You\u2019ll find more information about most of the works, like the names of the artists, the techniques they used and the people who helped them create the pieces.<\/p>\n For instance, artist Dovente created this depiction of two girls talking to one another through tin cans<\/a> at Union Street and Central Square with some local teachers. And artist BKFoxx painted this mural at 21-25 Munroe St.<\/a> depicting two people, one of them drowning and the other reaching toward them with a yellow daffodil in hand, a metaphor for how good intentions don\u2019t always translate into good help. The work was created using only spray paint, with no brushes or stencils.<\/p>\n If you need a break from the outdoors, stop by The Galleries at Lynn Arts,<\/a> open 3 to 7 p.m. on Fridays at 25 Exchange St. The gallery currently has an exhibit of family portraits.<\/p>\n And to end your day, walk over to Red Rock Park<\/a>, the Lynn Shore Reservation<\/a> or Nahant Beach Reservation<\/a>, each about a 20-minute walk from the Commuter Rail station. All are free and offer beautiful views.<\/p>\n Like this Free Ride?Share it with a friend and tell them to subscribe to GBH Daily for more.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n And remember: if you take any of these trips or have your own Free Ride ideas to share, I want to hear from you!
