David Guss's Lost Theatres website has two big Flash photo essays about the history of the Somerville Theatre and its surrounding neighborhood, from 1914 to the current day.

Savas Shoe Repair

[in-parentheses.livejournal.com]

I just have to post a plug for Savas Shoe Repair, in the little Elm St. shopping center, next to Starbucks and the copy store. Arthur, the owner, fixed a pair of my shoes that no one else would touch because they're "not designed to be repaired." He put new heels on and everything! He also has these little tips that keep heels from wearing down - for $4 a pair! Seriously, fixing shoes instead of buying new ones is the best deal ever, and this guy does a great job.

I am looking for a part time job ideally something to do with plants, flowers. I want to check out local nurseries, plant stores etc but i dont know where they are. I know there is one on Mass Ave towards the Arlington line but is there any other close to the square or within 10-15 mins vicinity?

thanks :)

FYI - JP Licks closed until April 6th

I found this out the hard way. Just wanted to warn y'all in advance. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's... plan to get your ice cream elsewhere. :(
