hi,

does anyone know the area of Mystic and Main (Golden Ave., to be precise)? I'm needing to take a bus out there, coming from Harvard, and I don't even know if such a bus exists. the mbta trip-planner isn't being too helpful.

(i'm currently doing the apartment-search thing, and i found what seems to be a pretty good deal. now all i need is to find out where it is...)

any help would be appreciated! thanks.

Power out in Central, Harvard; delays on Red Line

Power down, exploding manholes!

My office near Harvard Square lost power entirely, and so have many but not all homes, businesses, etc. Who knows when it'll be back up. Don't take the red line if you don't have to.

Pat Jehlen kickoff party, Thursday

[cos]

Come to Pat Jehlen's kickoff party, this Thursday! It's Orleans on Holland Street in Davis Square, 7-9pm Thursday evening (June 16th). It's a great chance to meet Pat (and there will be free food :)

Pat is currently a state rep from Somerville (Davis Square is in her district). She is running to replace state senator Charlie Shannon, who died of cancer this April. The district is most of Somerville, all of Medford and Winchester, and a bit of Woburn, and the vote is on August 30th.

Many of you probably already know Pat, or at least of her. I lived in her district for seven years, and she's one of my favorite legislators. She strongly supports gay rights, is co-sponsoring bills for instant runoff voting, nonpartisan redistricting, the state civil liberties resolution, and access to emergency contraception, she's chair of the senior caucus, and ... well, visit her web site. It would be so cool if she got promoted to state senate! And it'd be nice to have a state senator from Somerville (there haven't been any for a while).

This is a very competitive race, but she is the strongest candidate and is more likely to win than any of the others. And the more people attend this kickoff party, the more impressed the press will be, which will help her out a lot.

Orleans is at 65 Holland Street, on the next block after Johnny D's. It's kind of diagonally across the street from the Holland Street red line exit.

So, who's going? Comment here.

So....
