Received 9/18/2008

On September 16th, our campaign made history, winning an incredibly challenging write-in campaign. To the many campaign volunteers and supporters, and to the hard-working wardens, police officers, and other elections officials and staff, I would like to say thank you. I also want to thank my challenger, Alderman Bob Trane, for running a spirited campaign. But most of all, I want to thank all of you who cast your vote on September 16th.

Antonia's now closed for good

I don't think it ever got resolved on livejournal, as to why Antonia's has been closed. I tried finding the last post on it, and couldn't find it. I was getting sick of walking by and wonder what the deal is.

So I gave the Revere Antonia's a call to see what was up with the Davis Sq Antonia's. The guy who answered told me officially that it was closed for good in Somerville, because they were having problems with the landlord.

Also, Urban Gourmet won't be reopening in Ball Sq.

Free Commuter Rail ticket.

Up for grabs: A One-Way Zone 8 Commuter Rail ticket. (Not a pass--this is good for one ride only.) Worth $7.75, expires on December 1. Reply here and I can hand it off to you at Starbucks or somewhere. First come, first served.

It was leftover from my brother's summer visit and I've got no use for it--hope it can help out someone here!
