The Big Broadcast of October 30th, 1938
Performances: October 29-31, 2009
FEATURING
The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour
A lost classic from Boston's radio history. Join Frank, Amelia, and Lex Concord and the Minutemen

We're going to need people for all sorts of administrative, staff and tech roles. We're anxious to fill several key positions now so we can begin work on publicity, ad sales, sponsorships and technical planning. Below the cut is a listing of the primary positions. Most of these will have support teams, so if you're interested in being involved but can't commit to the primary position, you'd be most welcome on the team. Queries may be sent to info@pmrp.org.
(Audition Announcements will follow in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!)

It turns out that they are part of "Operation Best Idea Ever" which it seems is to ride down the Charles in dingies.
Now, That sounds like fun, and it doesn't sound dangerous or anything, but "Best Idea Ever"? really? I mean, it's not a BAD idea per se, but I can think of many better ideas.
Also, it doesn't appear to have a web page. How can it be the best idea ever without a web page?
Is this tree technically Somerville property, or is it somehow owned by a resident? It's in front of a large apartment building remotely managed by a company, not house or 3-flat building.
Would I be legally ok to head over there with a bowl and a mission?
EDIT: It seems that the tree, while nudging up the sidewalk and almost entirely *over* the sidewalk, is still technically on private property. I ate two while trying to figure out who to ask (it is so covered in fruit that some branches bend down to my shoulder height; I'm 5'5"; I think a professional cherry picker could work on this all weekend and there would still be fruit). They *are* a sour cherry, but they aren't sour per se, and they're so ripe they will likely be over ripe by monday. If the owner approves getting them picked, I will post more info here, later.

Anyone have further information? What kind of shop would work there in its place? A clothing store would do well there, with the Gap and Burlington Coat Factory gone...

We're having some issues with our landlord, and I was trying to find an answer amid the already numerous posts in
Our lease is up September 1. Our landlord claims it takes two months to show and rent out our apartment, and would like to start doing so immediately (as in, tonight). Our lease is the standard lease, and it says we need to give 30 days notice if we intend to move.
( Text of lease below, for clarification. )
As of right now, we're 62 days away from the end of the lease. The lease states we have to give notice by 30 days. Right now he's saying he needs to start showing the apartment, and we are "more than welcome to stay for next year if you sign before someone else takes it.", i.e., if someone else sees it and likes it tomorrow, they'll sign the lease and that's just tough for us, because we couldn't make up our minds (earlier than expected). Can he do this?
EDIT: HOLY MACKEREL. Thanks, y'all! I appreciate all your input. I think the final verdict was that yes, he could enter the apartment to show it, but we still had the right of first refusal, which he was implying he wasn't giving us.
BUT. My boyfriend and I discussed it and we decided to stay, so the entire point is moot. Thanks for all your advice, and I hope this post might one day be of help to someone else tiptoing through the land mine of housing contracts. Blecch.

Needless to say, he wasn't happy I took his photo. He came up and yelled at me, calling me a "skinhead" and saying, "You couldn't even sell yourself, because you're bald!". For the record, while my hair is very short, I am neither bald nor a skinhead, in any sense of the word. ;-) I was a little worried he was going to try to take my phone, but he didn't make any moves to touch me or my stuff.
Please pass this photo along to anyone you know who rides the Red line in Cambridge/Somerville. What do folks think: Is it worth it to email it to the local newspapers or the MBTA? It seems like the Spare Change people are well informed about who he is, so I don't think they really need a photo.

Several of us in the community are considering starting an informal group to further discuss what we as neighbors want from the redevelopment of the site. If you're interested, drop me a comment here and I'll be sure to let you know what's up.
The city representative running the meeting promised to post the consultants' powerpoint and data to answer several questions from both constituents and Aldermen Trane and Gewirtz, so I'll add that link to this post as soon as it's available and I can track it down. For that reason I'm not adding all the exact figures and stuff to the already long notes section of this post.

Hi,
I have an 8gb ipod iTouch that I got with my macbook. It's the newest version, still in its original packaging. Just wanted to see if anyone wanted to buy it off me for $200 (they sell for $229 on the Apple website). I could meet up anywhere in the Davis/ Porter area. Comment with your email if interested! Thanks :)

Someone has been getting really creative with the telephone wiring in my neighborhood. There are some other similarly amusing/frightening installations nearby, but this is clearly the winner.
Is there some sort of dispute in progress between the town and utilities? Is this just business as usual? I haven't seen work like this since visiting Nigeria:
( FAIL )
Would there be anyone out there who would like to get something going, or perhaps already has something going that is willing to take in a 4e newb? Thanks!

I'm doing this urban planning project, and would love access to images of the art installments at the Davis & Porter Square MBTA stations. I'm not just looking for pictures of it - I'd love to get a layout of each MBTA station, including where the art is located within and outside the station. Thinking Google Earth might have it but am too new to the program to figure it out. Anybody have any insight? Thanks folks!
