Indoor Garage Sale

[pearlythebunny.livejournal.com]

People here are sometimes looking for knitting and craft supplies. I read that The Knitting Room in Arlington, which went out of business recently, is having an indoor garage sale this Saturday, Feb. 16th from 10-2 at 2 Lake St., East Arlington, around the corner from the Capitol Theatre. It sounds as if EVERYTHING in the store is being sold, including knitting and craft supplies, antiques, figurines, glassware, knickknacks, books, CDs, DVDs, board games, storage bins, lamps, coffee table, camera, microwave, fridge, and a cash register.

Hi Everyone,

I know there have been a lot of rumors and speculation  floating around about Sacco's and our plans for the property. We have been waiting to share more details because there has been a lot still in flux.  I think at this point though, its important to share in more detail our concept and what we would ideally like to do in Davis Square. 

My team and I would like to invite you to come to a presentation  and discussion on Feb. 25th at the VFW Dilboy. The meeting is 7 -9 ...but we will be there at 6:30 with coffee and snacks (other beverages, including water will need to be purchased at the bar at the Dilboy).  Park in the back lot and use the back door entrance off of the parking lot. 

I know its short notice....I hope you can come!!   I would really like to meet you all and would love your creative input/ feedback .  We will be having additional meetings in the future as well.

Also, please let me know if you think you can make it with a comment so i can get some idea of attendance.(We are posting to other locations, and will be flyering as well. )

Thanks!

Trish

PS. After a lot of feedback here on LJ, we are in fact changing the name ...but for ease of recognition, Im keeping the working name of "the Connections Center". :-)

Need to know.

Is there anyone here who attended Northern Illinois University at some point?

I'd like to know that I'm not the only one who is being affected so personally by everything that is happening there.

Help bring the Green Line all the way to West Medford!!

Hi. This concerns Davis Square community because it is very close to the Medford border and this train would run fairly close to Davis (Ball Sq.) and also cater to parts of Somerville way up north of Tufts that go all the way to the Mystic River near Boston Ave.!

Please Support The Green Line to Medford!
Medfordites or Friends of Medfordites! If you are a supporter of the wonderful Green Line trolleys being extended to West Medford (Rt. 16 by UHaul and Whole Foods, most likely), PLEASE speak up and help support public opinion in favor! If you are not in favor or don't know anything about it, please GET IN FAVOR of it! It'll be great and make Medford/West Medford an even better, more vibrant and convenient place to live, work and visit.

Look at the medfordgreenline.org website! Attend the upcoming meetings! Call or write to City Hall and let Mayor McGlynn know you favor it. Tell ALL of your Medford friends and neighbors to support it. There is a small group of vociferous opponents, who mostly oppose the Green Line trains for reasons which I honestly find to be suspect and foten questionable. People have talked about "crime" and "homeless people" coming into medford on the new line. They have talked about "environmental problems", from ELECTRIC trains! They have talked about massive "land takings" (eminent domain) when the actual needs of any land takings have not even been spelled out or delineated yet and everyone in the process (like Green Line propnent Ken Krause who is on the official Medford committee) is being careful to minimize any backyard land takings and make sure individuals are mitigated (recompensated financially or materially) if their land is taken or even if they are nearby abutters (with sound buffers, landscaping, etc.) There have even been oppponents who have spoken of this being part of a plan by Tufts to "take over" this part of Medford and talk of "real estate values going down" when in fact real estate values rise considerably when MBTA trains come in  (look at davis Sq.!) So please help support this valuable public transportation project!
