not like 2004

It was so quiet in Davis Square after the Sox won Game 7 tonight. Lots of blue wooden horses sitting around "just in case", a bunch of police cars, but hardly any revelers. Nothing like this scene in 2004.

The Powderhouse - new West Somerville newspaper

[ron_newman]

The Powderhouse is a new twice-monthly newspaper for zip code 02144, brought to you by Neil McCabe, editor of North Cambridge's The Alewife.

Neil handed me a copy of the first issue a few days ago as I walked past Mike's Restaurant; coincidentally, the first issue has an article about that establishment. He plans to distribute the paper through newsboxes and local merchants. If you don't find a hardcopy, here's the first issue as a PDF.

Non-shill disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with either of Neil's publications, though Neil has asked me whether I'd be interested in writing for him.
