Somerville Budget Forum

[cos]

1. What is a budget?
   
2. Where does the money come from?
   
3. What does the money pay for?
   
4. Who decides how to spend the money?
   
5. How can I get involved?
   
6. Can we do more?

The Progressive Democrats of Somerville are hosting a forum on the Somerville city budget next Thursday evening. From what I hear, there will be exciting speakers, and jelly beans :)

Medical recommendation

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

Hey, y'all--a friend of mine is looking for a recommendation for a psychiatrist or psychotherapeutic nurse (that is: someone who can prescribe medication), who's queer- and pagan-friendly. I wasn't able to help, but I figured someone around here probably could.

Thanks!

I recently moved into a 4-bedroom apartment, and one of the co-tenants needs to move out by July 11. His 16x13 room with bay windows is available anywhere between July 11 - August 1. The other tenants are grad students and working professionals.

The apartment is located on Miner Street, with your own off-street parking space, and it's a 5-minute walk to the 80, 88, and 90 buses; or a 20-minute walk to Davis Square. Shared utilities including wireless internet, and free laundry in the basement.

Rent is $500 a month, with first and last required up front. If interested, please email minerapt@hotmail.com with your name and info and I'll get back to you to schedule a time to come.

Thanks!

Doctor recommendations?

EDITED: Thanks for the recommendations, but I haven't yet found anyone recommended who's on my insurance plan. Does anyone have any experiences with Davis Square Family Practice, Somerville Family Practice, or Dr. Aurelio Manto?

Hi all,

I just moved here and got a new job and am shuffling through health insurance paperwork. Can anyone recommend a good primary care physician in the area (or a dentist, while we're at it)?

Thanks!

Dry cleaners

I'm looking for a VERY GOOD dry cleaner in the area. Specifically I have an oil stain (olive oil, not car oil) on some new pants that I really want to get out. Anyone have suggestions?

Super late notice, but..
