Due to expected heavy rain on Saturday, both of this weekend's ArtsUnion events have been postponed to Sunday, September 7.

From 3-7pm, come by the plaza in Union Square and check out the Rock 'n' Roll Yard Sale, which will feature vendors from Somerville and all over New England set up flea market style selling everything from vinyl records and vintage clothing to handmade crafts, art and jewelry, vegan cupcakes and other snacks, and whatever gets dragged out of the closet!

Stay in Union Square for the evening and enjoy a live musical presentation by Devil Music Ensemble, starting at 8pm, taking place in the parking lot in front of the Independent at 8pm. Devil Music Ensemble creates a live soundtrack performance to Red Heroine, a silent martial arts film from China 1929. For more info, visit Devil Music.

The second day of Viva La Vinal is also postponed to Sunday, 4 to 10 pm at the Community Growing Center.

I haven't yet heard what effect the weather will have on Somerville's other local outdoor events this weekend.

This is new

I saw in Teele Square in the old Rainbow Carpet storefront "Coming Soon" and a Somerville Police officer's badge painted in the window.

So I presume we're getting a police depot. Maybe they'll finally get that jerk who keeps picking through the garbage on my block.

Info on neighborhood man

Its a strange thing to ask, but here goes anyway.

Has anyone lately seen the very large man who rides the 88 bus and would sometimes hang out in the Square? He is probably around 50 and very obese.

I haven't seen him for literally months now and I'm a bit concerned. He was extremely friendly and I would often see him around Somerville. I don't know if something happened to him or if he moved away. He always seemed to know many people and I'm sure some of you might know the person I'm referring to.

If you have seem him lately please let me know. I don't know his name, but would often chat with him when I saw him on the bus or in the Square.
