tailor / seamstress

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

i know this has been asked before, but i didn't pay attention back then and now i can't find the posts (i am using tags now!).

i need to get a bridesmaid dress tailored.

i also need to get some pants hemmed.

i may also need to get a tear repaired in a leather jacket.

looking for cheap and good. if you could approximate the costs, that would be great.
thanks!

edit: how do i add more tags like "tailor" and "seamstress"?

CD repair services?

Anybody know of a place in the Davis/Porter/Harvard area that provides CD repair services? Do-it-yourself techniques didn't work, CD Spins says they've stopped providing this service, Newbury Comics doesn't do it, and Tower is out of business (if they ever did repairs at all). Thanks.

Labor dispute at One Davis Sq construction site?

[ron_newman]

If you walk up Day Street towards the square, the chain-link gate blocking the left sidewalk bears a sign declaring that it is the "Non-Picketed Gate", and that employees of DFM, Inc. may not use it.

On the Dover Street sidewalk, a similar gate has a sign saying it is the "Picketed Gate" and that it IS for use by DFM, Inc.; all others may go to the Non-Picketed Gate. This morning it looked like someone was indeed setting up a picket line next to the Picketed Gate.

Anyone know what this is all about?

The next meeting of the Wall of Respect for Women mural project will be this Wednesday, January 24 at 6:30 pm at the Nathan Tufts Field House in Powderhouse Park.

(for those tuning in late: the group is planning a replacement mural for the deteriorating one that Brooks Pharmacy painted over last year.)

Does anyone know of a company that would be able to handle renter's insurance for a household of four people... we're finding that most of them only do three at max.

Thanks Davis!
