A
It
is
exciting
to
me
to
see
that
we
talk
about
this
a
lot
in
the
city
in
the
state
having
local
people
open
to
local
businesses,
and
it
makes
such
a
big
difference
in
our
neighborhoods,
so
I
want
to
I
want
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
doing
that.
I.
Do
that
I
want
to
thank

my
row
for
being
me

us
today
and
I
wanna
thank
every

A
nice
bar
some
chamber
I
want
to
thank
Joe,
Mike
Orr,
that's,
and
we
say
this
a
lot
when
we
talk
about
businesses.
When
you
see
a
company
come
in
to
enable
it
make
a
Dunkin
Donuts,
they
have
a
lot
of
muscle
in
finance
behind
them,
and
it's
all
on
paper
and
it's
not
blood,
sweat
tears
when
you
see
a
local
business
open.
This
is
blood,
sweat
and
tears
and
muck
their
money,
and
sometimes
we
try
to
help
and
I
just
want
to.
A
Thank
you
guys
for
doing
this
in
the
neighborhood,
because
what
makes
this
Boston
special
and
as
you
walk
up
and
down
the
streets-
and
you
see
the
businesses
there
are
still
in
this
neighborhood-
probably
more
than
able
more
local
small
businesses
than
anywhere
else
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
probably
in
the
country.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this.

I
just
want
to
stop
by
and
say
congratulations
to
you
as
a
family.
For
those
who
don't
know,
the
Tedesco
and
Lopresti
families
have
been
extremely
active
in
East,
Boston,
civic
and
political
activities
for
many
generations,
and
his
father
as
mentioned
was
a
state
senator
her
brother
was
a
state
senator
and
the
family
tradition
continues
with
the
investment
in
the
East
Boston
with
cloud
9
laundro-mutt,
which
is
a
great
way
to
pay
homage
to
your
granddad
and
the
body
he
opened.
D
So
I
also
have
a
citation
from
the
Massachusetts
House
of
Reps,
says
being
hereby
known
to
all
that
the
Massachusetts
House
of
Representatives
offers
it
sincerest
congratulations
to
the
Tedesco
family
and
recognition
of
the
opening
of
your
new
business,
cloud9
laundro-mutt
serving
dogs
and
their
owners
throughout
East
Boston
and
the
surrounding
communities.
Congratulations
guys
can't
wait
to
bring
my
dog
rusty
by.
B
So
I
know
what
you
want
it
to
be
here
today,
but
she's

behalf
of
counselor
Edwards.
So,
just
briefly
read
it
aloud
here
so
offered
resolution
of
city
councilor,
Lydia
Edwards,
be
it
resolved
at
the
bottom
to
the
council,
extend
its

Joe
and
Mike
Tedesco
and
I
also
don't
want
to
leave
out
Nana
as
well
in
recognition
of
the
grand
opening
of
cloud
9
laundromats
and
your

lots

communities

Thank

D
C
You
Adrian
pleasure
to
be
here.
We
have
such
nice
distinguished
guests
out
here
from
the
city
in
that
and
I
just
like
to
introduce
and
recognize
them.
We
have
the
Commissioner
of
ISD
buddy
Christopher
right
over
there
and
of
course
we
have
Gabriel
Collier,
that's
representing
Lydia
Edwards
Shannon
McAuliffe
is
a
candidate
for
da
and
some.
C
B
C
Today,
we
are
here
to
officially
welcome
cloud
9
laundromat,
it's
cloud.
9
is
a
unique
business
whose
services
will
both
be
useful
and
greatly
appreciated
by
the
community.
Not
only
that,
but
the
lineage
of
cloud
9
has
a
deep
connection
to
East
Boston,
the
Jessica
family,
a
lifelong
residents
of
the
neighborhood
and
are
always
participating
in
community
events.
C
The
grandfather
was
none
other
than
Senator
Michael
Lopresti,
who
was
a
member
of
the
Massachusetts
state
Senate
for
a
number
of
years,
and
who
was
a
park
named
after
him
in
this
very
neighborhood
history
aside,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
how
much
the
community
needs
and
appreciate
that
when
its
residents
give
back
and
contribute
to
local
community,
not
only
doesn't
keep
these
parts
as
strong.
It
also
feels
it
facilitates
further

IG
great
things
ahead,
cloud9
as
many
has
been
customers
and
having
that's
true
on
behalf
of
these
bunch
of
different
promise
in
the
exact
community.
