Yesterday, a Fawcett Energy worker turned up at 48 Linwood Street to deliver 365 gallons of oil for winter heating. They doubtless double-checked the address before beginning to pump the oil in, hearing gallon after gallon flow from his tanker into the house.
Then a realization. Yes, they were indeed at 48 Linwood Street. But they were supposed to be at 48 Linwood Street, Malden and they were, in fact, at 48 Linwood Street, Medford. On paper, this is an understandable mistake – the two Linwood Streets are only a 10-minute drive from one another. In practice, this oopsie may have utterly destroyed a house.
