...THERE ARE ABOUT FIFTEEN active residents of Observatory Hill protesting Radcliffe's proposed athletic facility. Yet only two of the opponents will be able to make it to the City Council meeting tonight to defend their position, and as time goes on, the number of residents resisting the project appears to be falling off.
