West Somerville Illuminations Walking & Caroling Tour - this Saturday!

[ron_newman]

Since the Illuminations Trolley Tour never visits our part of town, the Somerville Arts Council this year has added a West Somerville Illuminations Walking & Caroling Tour.

Tour-goers will walk past some of the snazziest West Somerville holiday light displays, including the showstopper created by Al Pellechia on Wallace St. Singing will be lead by Alex the Jester and the Somerville Community Chorus.

Meet at 6 pm in front of JP Licks. The tour will take about an hour and will end at the Nave Gallery, where we will feast on art and holiday refreshments.

Perhaps the best christmas lights evar...

Boston.com article warns of a man attacking women walking by themselves after dark in Somerville.

Be careful out there!

Deleading?

I looked through the old posts, but couldn't seem to find this covered there.

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and just told my landlord. She is being very understanding and acommodating and wants us to find a lead paint inspector as well as someone to do the actual abatement/removal if it turns out to be necessary. I called the City and they said that they only inspect/delead homes in which children are ALREADY present. Huh? So we shouldn't try to be proactive by preventing the child from exposure to lead paint before they're born? Anyway, not helpful. I really want to help keep costs down for my landlord's sake, but have no idea what costs are involved or what companies might be reputable for this sort of work. Any advice is very much appreciated!
