Happy First Day of Street Sweeping Season!

[on-reserve.livejournal.com]

$50. For a street-sweeping ticket. Not for parking in a handicapped spot or in front of a fire hydrant. Seriously? Seriously?!?

This is out of control. I was ticketed at 8:16 a.m. BEFORE street sweeping had even begun in my neighborhood. By the time I moved my car at 8:24 a.m. I hadn't impeded ANYTHING. How about ticketing AFTER the street sweeper moves through and ticketing people who ACTUALLY impeded street sweeping? Oh too much hassle you say? I don't think so. If the city can put people out bright and early to ticket before people move their cars to go to work then they sure as hell can put those same people out at say, 9 a.m. when most working people will have gone for the day and what remains are cars that will likely be on the street all day.

I know I'll be snarked from here to Winter Hill but I don't know why we take this crap. When I moved here in 2000, a street sweeping ticket was $10. $10! Now it's $50. I know MY pay hasn't increased 5X since 2000.

Burren tomorrow at 7pm

This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow night is the davis_square meet-up at the Burren. We are meeting in the back room at 7pm and I promise that good times will be had by all or your money back.

They are going to provide some stuff for us and I hope we get a good turn out. If you have any questions, let me know.

So one of my best friends and I want to go out to dinner with 6 other friends on Sunday to celebrate our birthdays.

We haven't quite picked out a restaurant yet...

I was just wondering if anyone could help us out. We need a restaurant that isn't so small that we would take up half of its space (8 people), good food, but not expensive because we're pretty broke. And I guess we're pretty much open to any kind of food. In the area of Davis/Porter/Harvard/Central is good.

Recommendations?

I've been trying to find places using yelp but there are so freakin many, it's daunting.

Thanks!
