free candy when you get gas at Hillside

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

The other day I got gas at Hillside Auto Repair, a little shop on Broadway just past Ball Square. It's near a Gulf and kind of across from the 7-Eleven.

Anyway, the very nice man who owns the shop gave me a handful of candy. I wanted to be sure he did it every time (and I wanted more candy) so I went back today and left with a hearty handful of candy. Full-service for the same price as pumping it yourself, plus candy and he washed my windshield. Now that's service!

Parade Route Reminder and Question

This link has the parade info for Sunday.

According to the website Holland St is not closed, just no parking - I can't see how it could possibly be open, I have to be in and out that day and have guests coming to town, anyone live on Holland last year to who can tell me if it was really open?

Fruit Hunt!

Now that summer's within reach and all the lovely berries and peaches and other fruits are coming out, I can finally satisfy my craving for the (arguably) best fidget-fruit out there- the Lychee.


Problem is, I have no idea where to find some. Kotobukiya doesn't seem to have any, and I have not yet been able to venture into either Chinatown or the Super88 in Allston. Since I don't think Shaw's is going to start carrying them any time soon, I'm kind of stuck.

Does anyone know of a place I can find more exotic fruits, or am I stuck with venturing across the river? Any idea if Whole Foods carries strange fruits when they're in season?

Thanks!

Missing some money?

Missing some money?

Surveillance cameras at the Davis Square station in Somerville captured a hurried passenger going through the turnstile and dropping a significant amount of money on the floor of the station.

Meetup: Women's Football

So, apparently Boston has a semi-professional women's football team, the Boston Militia, and they hang their pads at the Dilboy stadium right near our beloved Davis Square.

A vague, meetup-shaped cloud is coalescing over in b0st0n so I thought I'd help it along by throwing out the idea for a DS meetup. The last two home games are the 31st and June 7th, and the cost is $10. This is family-friendly; it starts at 6pm and there's no booze sold at the stadium.

Thoughts?
