Some Baychester residents are worried about gambling and a bad element coming to the neighborhood as Off-Track Betting (OTB) contemplates setting up shop there.
OTB is losing its lease on Boston Road. Baychester homeowners say their area is more residential and would not be a good fit for OTB. They are concerned the gambling could bring violence and more traffic.
While OTB has not made a final decision on where it will relocate, people in Baychester say they will fight it.
