parking

[laurasaurora.livejournal.com]

hello, i'm sure this is a super annoying question, but the memories have been down all morning on this community, so figured i'd just ask.

we'll be hanging out in davis square this evening, coming from arlington. the options are 1) park at alewife and take the T one stop ($10 total) or 2) park somewhere nearish to davis square and hopefully save a few bucks. my feeling is that if i can park in davis square for less than or equal to $10, i would do it.

so, can anyone tell me what the rates are at the parking garages, i can't seem to find any information via googling. is there street parking? how reasonable is it to expect to find a spot either on the street or in the parking garage? the general feeling on the parking situation? we don't mind walking a few minutes if there is a good spot to park in the general area.

thanks!

EDIT: you guys are awesome, thank you so much for all the ideas. i think we'll probably play it safe with the 77. that way we can both drink too. :D

Bridal Dressmaker/Seamstress in Davis or Boston-area?

[magpie-leah.livejournal.com]

Hello! Has anyone had a really good experience with a bridal dressmaker in the area? Davis Sq or Boston-area generally? My wedding is 2 months away and my vintage wedding dress just recently suffered some damage. (Boo!) It needs a good amount of overhauling to be fixed but the design of the dress is very simple. So I don't think it will be too hard. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated!
