"smoke in the ville" redux

[zmgmeister.livejournal.com]

So, Townonline.com has an article up with a photo of the fire that happened last night in the Ball Sq. area.

"Update: Fire victims were trapped on roof, firetrucks blocked from rescue by illegally parked cars"

You can bet parking enforcement will be clamping down on the parking-too-close-to-intersection issue.

bus question

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Does the 88 bus stop outside the Davis Square T station on Holland Street when it is going inbound (from Clarendon Hill to Lechmere)? i.e., if I have just gotten off the Red Line and I want to get to Lechmere on the 88 bus, where should I go to catch it?

sorry if this is a dumb question -- my commute is in upheaval. sigh.

As a part of the Somerville Art Council's ArtsUnion program, Magpie is putting on a craft fair in Union Square next month (Sat Aug 18) called "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE ... RECRAFT!"

We've just put out our "call for vendors" if anyone is interested in applying to be a vendor or wants to pass this on to someone who is:

(And we'll post more details closer to the event for anyone who's interested in attending.)
