State to Hold Green Line Extension Meeting at Somerville High Monday, January 24

[ert.livejournal.com]

"Mayor Joe Curtatone today announced the state has decided to hold a community meeting regarding the proposed extension of the Green Line to Somerville on Monday, January 24th, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Somerville High School auditorium."

[...]

"More than a decade ago, the state agreed to the Green Line extension and several other mass transit projects in return for the go ahead to build the Central Artery Tunnel.  In recent months, the MBTA has floated alternative ideas to extending the line, citing a lack of financial resources.  It also is reconsidering other agreements, including the Arborway extension into Jamaica Plain and the connector between the Blue and Red Line.  Like the State House hearing, Monday’s meeting will consider all three projects."

I've been hosed/Moving

[viellen]

Ok Davis Square community, help me out here. Last week I was searching Craigslist for movers and I found a guy named Christopher Doherty who supposedly owns a moving company in the Boston area. He claimed they're insured, 100% money back guarantee, moved by clean-cut college kids, yada yada yada. We talked for a while (on the phone, not over email), I asked everything I thought I should ask, and he gave me a flat rate with tax around $350...which I thought was a great price. To book the move I put down a $100 deposit and I was going to call him today with the details. So I called, and got *another* moving company, who told me not to deal with Chris because he's dishonest. And low and behold his craigslist ads were pulled, and all I have is his email address. So first of all..WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Second of all, have any of you guys dealt with him/gotten scammed by him? And finally, can somebody PLEASE recommend local movers that won't fucking scam me? Thanks for all the help you can give, I feel like an idiot.
