Brake service near Davis?

[foxalbers.livejournal.com]

I'm in semi-desperate need of new brake pads on my car so I can pass inspection next month, and I was wondering if anyone has a place to recommend around here.

I've heard a few horror stories about where *not* to take it, but haven't heard any ideas yet on who'd be reputable enough to do decent work without ripping me off. I'd rather do it at a local shop than a Midas or national chain...

Thanks!

In 2003, three young americans traveled to Uganda in search of a film-worthy adventure.  Instead they found a story that permanently changed their lives.  Join us for a screening of the groundbreaking documentary "Invisible Children."

meat and a haircut

[studeronomy.livejournal.com]

A stranger recently told me about this place in Davis Square where you can purchase good meat for a reasonable price...not sure if it was a grocery store or a deli-type place that specialized in providing quality meat (ugh, this post is sexually suggestive), but I've forgotten the name. Any ideas what he might have been referring to?

Also: where's the best place in Davis Square (or just north, in the Powderhouse area) to get a good haircut for a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Free packing boxes!

I finally finished unpacking from my move, and now I'm left with a mountain of nice boxes.  Everything is nicely flattened, and very clean.  Most of the boxes are brand new, and I even have 2 wardrobe boxes.  There are a variety of sizes, although most of them are medium sized, perfect for packing books.  I'm at the intersection of Highland and Willow.  Comment if you'd like some boxes.
