2. Reader Comment of the Day: "Well for one thing Ame's Pond Dr. is at the 495 end of 133 don't think that casino goers will even find Wilmington don't know if any one of you been to a casino , but it is not like a ball game where 60,000 people come and go all at the same time I think that the town of Wilmington should be talking to the casino group to put it somewhere in the Ballardvale area you have 93 / 125 / the commuter rail / downeaster (would be a grate place for a train station) people from the casino might even stop for gas or elia's, maybe at one of 10 donut shops in town and yes they might stop at Michael's place to eat and the JOBs it would bring to people like myself who is about to lose my house think of what the people need thanks bill," reader bill dyer commenting on the article, Selectmen Considering Purchase of Main Street Archdiocese Property.
