I'm looking for information about getting a massage for some musculature pain in my neck and shoulder. I have been to physical therapy for it in the past, but I just need some immediate relief.

I'm looking for a massage place that's reasonably local and who would have an opening today. I'd prefer some place more clinical to somewhere new agey. I'm also looking in the 50-60 dollar price range for a massage that would actually help (30 minutes? 45?)

I'm also not sure what kind I'm looking for, when I was getting regular massages for physical therapy, it needed to be a fair amount of pressure, generally more than the small woman who was providing could manage.. so would that fall under deep tissue? or because it's an injury related thing should I be looking for something in that category?

Thank you!

Brickbottom and Joy Street Open Studios this weekend

[ron_newman]

Brickbottom and Joy Street artists are having Open Studios this Saturday and Sunday, noon to 6 pm. This event is always a lot of fun.

To get there from elsewhere in Somerville, take bus 80, 87, or 88 and get off at Glass Stop (across from Target). Then walk down the little side alley and under the highway to Brickbottom. The Joy Street studios are two blocks from there towards Washington Street.

Community Meeting to discuss the Vinfen facility at 155 Central St

[mderidder.livejournal.com]

On the fringe of Davis, but for those who are interested/concerned:

Alderman Bill White is having a meeting of the Committee on Public Health and Public Safety on Monday, Nov. 24 at 6:30 at the committee room at City Hall (to discuss the Vinfen facility at 155 Central Street and 81 Bartlett St.  This facility is an assisted living/halfway house facility that experienced a large fire a couple of months ago.

http://www.wickedlocal.com/somerville/archive/x941710159/A-bathroom-fire-stopped-on-Central-Street

Since the fire, repairs have been in progress to the house.

Neighbors are getting together to discuss the presence of this facility in our neighborhood as this fire was not the first incident.  Some of the other incidents that have occured in the past include:

-  A second fire where the contents of a trash can were set on fire in the backyard
-  Past Tenants smoking marijuana and drinking on other neighbors property (it is against their policy since this is a rehab house)
-  Disposing of empty beer cans/alcohol containers in surrounding neighbors yards
-  Excess calls to fire and police department
-  One tenant that was recently staying there had a medical history of extreme violence and severe mental instability, and had been arrested in the past for such behaviors.  Several women in the neighborhood were concerning with safety at night.

I plan to attend to find out if they plan to reopen as a halfway house and to learn more about the facility and what they plan to do to reduce the number of incidents.

Trivia

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

Has anyone every listed the local places that hold trivia for each night of the week? I couldn't find one when searching through the archives/tags. If not, we should make one.

More specifically, are there any places tonight (Thursday)?

Towels, anyone?

[brewso.livejournal.com]

We just ordered all new towels in an attempt to have a grown-up bathroom (and because they were on clearance!). We're going to be putting our old mismatched set out on the curb tonight in a box. They're all pretty worn and in shades of blue, green, and white. Would anyone be interested in them? I mean, they'll do in a pinch in a bathroom, but only if you really desperately need free towels. But I was thinking more along the lines of a painting drop-cloth, or as packing supplies, or to recycle into any number of other things. I'll be putting them outside, but if you let me know you want them, I can bring them back in for you.

Thanks! 

happy dead turkeys
