Two bikes briefly stolen

Overnight our two bicycles were stolen from our front porch on Prichard Ave (south of Ball Square). We recovered them in the driveway next door -- presumably they were ditched when the Kryptonite locks locking the front tires to the frame were discovered.

The fact that both were taken at once suggests to me that this was an operation by at least two people to sweep up unsecured bikes in the area.

The Someday Café in Davis Square closed its doors this month to the dismay of its many loyal customers.

The café was a relaxed and affordable place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or ice cream cone, you could sit for hours talking with friends, old and new.

One longtime customer, Jessica Schumann, joined the effort to keep the Someday in business by creating a short movie as a call to action. The video interviews customers and staff about the role the café played in their lives and the Davis Square scene.

You can see the Someday Café video Friday, Aug. 18, at 9:30 p.m. or Monday, Aug. 21, at 4:30 p.m. on SCAT Channel 3. For information about SCAT programming call 617-628-8826 or visit access-scat.org.

I just recieved this message from somervillestep.org it is about extension of the Community Path from Cedar to Central Street, and the city's possible acquisition of land on Central Street that is now used as a parking lot for Cambridge Health Alliance. The parking lot would be reduced and reconfigured, and the remainder of the land cleared and landscaped.

At 6:30 PM at the VNA Assisted Living faculty on Lowell Street, this is
described as a "neighborhood meeting to discuss the latest
developments".
