A Herald article on the redevelopment of Ashmont Station ends with this:

“The idea is to create a destination place where people will come out here to eat and do other activities - not just pass through as they do now,” adds [Larry] Gettings, who is also president of the Ashmont Hill Neighborhood Association and a local homeowner. “We think this area could eventually become the next Davis Square.”

Trash and recycling?

[ayalanya.livejournal.com]

I've been looking around on a couple of town websites, and they're well-nigh impossible to navigate. Is there any information available about when trash and recycling are going out this week, since tuesday is a holiday?

Edit: I have sufficient information now. Thank you.

what counts as a parking holiday?

[joifulgurl.livejournal.com]

i'm searching the somerville website, i read the parking brochure, etc etc etc. but nowhere does it say what is a holiday & what is not. tomorrow, i know many people have off from work, but i do not know if Somerville counts tomorrow as a holiday on which you don't have to pay for parking. and i don't want to score myself one of those $25/$30 (whatever they are now) tickets.

any help would be awesome. and if you know where to find this info online (so i can bookmark it for future reference), that would be even better.

thanks so much for your help. :)

if you don't like the music get out (a true story)

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

All this talk about the music being too loud at Someday reminds me of the funniest/oddest thing a cashier ever said to me when I asked him to please turn the music down a little.

He said:

"No. I'm not going to turn it down. Customers have the mistaken impression that the music is on for their entertainment. It's not. It's on for our benefit to keep us going when we're dog-tired. We need it this loud. You can leave, we can't."

The best part about that? The guy who said it to me, who essentially said "if you don't like the music get out," was the cashier at Mr. Crepe a couple years back.

I love Mr. Crepe. I really hope they move into the old CD Spins space, or maybe a sub-divided part of the Buck-a-Book space, or the Citizen's Bank space... but don't look to them to be a panacea for your music-volume woes.
