Lots of Retail Space at Highland Ave & Cutter Ave

[magpie-leah.livejournal.com]

Not sure if you all have noticed yet but sadly Rock City Guitars at 378 Highland is closed. They were in the block of retail where Magpie and Comicazi used to be. I know they were a really well-respected guitar shop and they are great guys so it's really sad to see them go out of business.

I bring this up in part because all that remains in that whole building is Salonika (hair salon) and Alex Pizza and I hear that Salonika might be moving out of that building soon. I thought I would just mention this here in case anyone has any enterprising friends looking to start up a business in the area.

It's definitely not the best location ever due to the fact that you have to walk a bit out of your way to get there but for the right business, it could work out. I've heard that the landlord would consider allowing spaces to be combined (walls taken down).

Anyway -- I have nothing to gain here. I'm just a big fan of Davis and would love to see some interesting businesses added to the area.

Artist and Activist Group

[sly-salkie.livejournal.com]

The group is made up of artists and activists in the Boston area (Teele and Davis square, to be exact) who are focused on helping to promote communication and local arts in the community. We lean left and are interested in raising awareness through our monthly zine and concurrent radio programming. We'd love for new faces/minds to be involved. If the following ongoing activities interest you, please get in touch with me (lauren) at lhsalk at gmail.

. monthly zine [new theme each issue, features, research articles, opinion columns, poetry, artwork]
. radio [broadcasting music shows, live music performances, talk shows, etc.]
. large research library [physical and electronic archive of books, music, art]
. frequent meetings [to stay on task]
. community events

We're just starting out, but we're very serious about this project and would love for more people to get involved.

Also, if anyone just wants to contribute written work, visual art or music to be run on the website or put in the zine, please feel free! This is a non-profit project hoping to give some free advertising to artists who don't necessarily get a lot of exposure.

Free WiFi Access?

Hi All,

Are there any free WiFi access points in the Davis Sq. area?

Thx,
