The primarily Italian American neighborhood of Nonantum in Newton is outraged over a 90-year-old road marker that was painted over. For decades, the center line down Adams Street has been red, white, and green, the colors of the Italian flag. Last week, the city of Newton had the colors painted over with a yellow line, citing safety reasons. A majority of Nonantum residents prided themselves on the Italian flag road marker and are upset over this change just three weeks before the St. Mary of Carmen Society Italian Festival and parade. Did the neighborhood deserve to be included in discussions over a change in the road marker? Now you can leave feedback as you listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the FREE iHeart Radio app!

Global Partners is a 4th generation Massachusetts based company that is one of the Northeast’s largest independent owners, suppliers, and operators of gasoline stations and convenience stores.
