Does anyone know if Tufts or another school in the area has a running track that is open to the public? Thanks.

FOURTH ANNUAL YARD SALE TO BENEFIT SOMERVILLE UNLEASHED

LOCATION: at 38 Hanson Street (located between Beacon Street and Dane Street)

Owners of Somerville dogs are organizing a yard sale on Saturday, September 6 to benefit Somerville Unleashed, the City's Fund for off-leash recreational areas. The sale runs all day Saturday, from 9:00 to 5:00 (Rain Date: Sunday, September 7).

Donations to Somerville Unleashed help to create and maintain the City's fenced-in off-leash recreational areas, including Nunziato Field, where Somerville residents have been enjoying the benefits of socializing and exercising our dogs off leash for more than two years. The City's second off-leash recreational area recently opened adjacent to the Ed Leathers Community Park on Walnut Street, between Medford and Pearl Streets.

Public Media Fans/Cyclists

Hello everybody,

I know lots of Davis Sq folks are cyclists, so this might be of interest.

An idea came to me of an opportunity to gather public media fans, piggy-backing on an event sponsored by the City of Boston:

http://hubonwheels.kintera.org/

This annual event is a fundraiser for Technology Goes Home, offering training programs that serve inner-city families through the Boston Public Schools. Riders can ride as part of a team or as an individual. I looked for a team to join but discovered that they're either names like "Kate's Team" or teams that represent businesses, schools, or clubs. So, I created this team:

Public Media Fans Unite

I've reached out to WGBH, WBUR, PRX and local producers so far to use our collective networks to invite folks to be part of this this team. It would be an invite of "If you're planning to ride and want to be part of a team of public media fans, look for ---." because riders have to cough up a registration fee. It's a group that means something to the riders besides "we're biking advertisements for (insert entity name)."

One last thing: only a couple of more days to register before the late fee kicks in (9/7/08).

Please share this with interested parties. Thank you for reading!

Ride safely,
Angie

UPDATE:
For those you that have already registered and want to switch to this team, I will have to collect your first/last names and forward that info to folks at HOW - they can switch your team alignment.

Thank you!

Wainwright's Fax number??

[jbsegal.livejournal.com]

They've made it very hard to find what number one should fax an "I'm travelling, it's ok!" notice to. I've found both 617-439-4854 and 4548 as likely ones, as well as other HR and PR ones.

Boston or Davis Sq. branch are both fine.

Anyone have it around? Soon?

Thanks!

free dryer

I have a spare dryer at 110 Boston Ave in Somerville, sitting on the side of the house. I hope someone can pick it up tonight before the rains come and ruin it. It's a Kenmore, works perfectly, I just moved and wound up with two dryers.

Thanks.

- ps - DO NOT take the washer on the porch, that's someone else's private property. Only the dryer is up for grabs.

Antonia's

I've noticed Antonia's has been closed for the past 2 weeks or so, there's no sign posted saying on vacation or explaining why they are closed, plus their menu was removed from the display case by the door.

A few weeks back there was this post on LJ  that they are expanding into the spa next door, I just find it strange
for a place to be closed with no explanation posted.

Anyone know what's going on?
