Mystery Donut Shop

Passed by the abandoned bake shop tonight while walking on Morrison, and I noticed a Demolition notice. Did anyone else notice this? I completely flaked on the date that was listed though!

Minor Diesel Fuel Spill Closes Traffic on Elm Street Between Willow and Cedar

[somerville311.livejournal.com]

Message sent to affected area at 10:30 a.m. via Connect CTY:

Hello, this is Tom Champion from the City of Somerville with important information about a diesel fuel spill that has affected traffic in the Elm Street area near the Porter Square shopping plaza.

 At approximately 8:00 a.m., a milk truck suffered a damaged fuel tank and loss of diesel fuel while making deliveries to a loading dock at Porter Square in Cambridge.

While the spill poses no health threat to the public, enough fuel escaped onto Elm Street in Somerville to be picked up and spread by passing cars, thereby creating slick and hazardous driving conditions along Elm Street between Cedar St. and Willow Ave.

An environmental cleanup services contractor is on the scene and estimates that the road will remain closed and detours in place until approximately 6 p.m.

In addition to shutting down traffic in both directions along Elm Street between Cedar and Willow, Somerville Police have restricted travel on Burnside Ave and Banks, Hancock and Cherry Streets, to abutters only, with access available from Summer Street only.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this incident.  For additional information, please call 311.  Thank you for your patience while the cleanup is in progress.

Calzaghe vs. Jones Jr. / Boxing Pay-per-View

I'd like to catch the boxing match tonight between Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr., but don't have cable so can't order it on pay-per-view. I'm not a frequenter of sports bars around Boston, but I'm sure there must be one that would have this on later.

Any ideas? I'm already pretty sure the Sports Depot in Allston is *not* screening it. The fewer meatheads the better, but I know beggars can't be chosers.

Looking for a mic and a PA system

So, I'm in need of a decent monitor and microphone for a band that I'm practicing with, and I'd rather not break the bank in getting them. Can anybody recommend good places around the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area(bonus points for places around Davis Square, since that's where I live) that I could find some good equipment, or does anybody know someone selling some used equipment that's in good condition?

Parking Issues.

[mogwaikisses.livejournal.com]

Moved here six days ago, and got my first parking ticket, street sweeping first Friday of the month.

Now I am carefully combing through the parking regulations for Somerville, and see there is an "over 48" rule.

Can someone tell me if it is true that your vehicle cannot be in the same spot for over 48 hours? I don't drive my car (trying to sell it), I take the train to work and pretty much everywhere else, so my car has been sitting there in the same spot since Thursday evening, which makes it 48 hours tonight.

Is this actually true, and if so, is it enforced? Is it a tow-able offense? Thanks.
