Porter Square Neighborhood Crime Alert

[ron_newman]

The following is an e-mail I got from the City of Somerville. They also robo-called me with it, but I don't know if they robo-called anyone in Cambridge.

--------------------
This is Deputy Chief Paul Upton of the Somerville Police Department with an important message for residents living near the Porter Square area.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, a young female, walking alone toward Elm Street from the Porter Square Area, was grabbed from behind and knocked to the ground by an unknown male. The attacker attempted to sexually assault her in the vicinity of Elm Street and White Street. The victim fought back and was able to escape, but was unable to describe her attacker.

We are asking anyone who may have been in this area between 1:30 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning, or anyone who has information about this incident, to please contact Somerville Police Detectives at 617 625-1600, extension 7224.

Though the Porter Square / West Somerville area remains among the safest areas of our city, we all need to remain vigilant and take commonsense personal safety measures, especially when walking alone.

As a reminder, if you see a crime in progress, or see anything or anyone acting suspicious, please call 911 immediately.

Take my stuff...please

In preparation for moving in a few months, I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of my stuff in advance. This is the craigslist post and so far, everything's still available.

I'm about a 20 minute walk from Davis, down Somerville Ave. Let me know if you want any of it. And if you don't like the prices, make me an offer. I'm trying to save up money for moving to New Mexico, but I mostly just want the stuff gone.

Oh, and I'm also going to be getting rid of a compost bin I purchased a few months ago from the city. I never used it - I thought I'd be staying here longer but my plans got changed. If anyone wants it and would be willing to give me the $25 I paid for it, that'd be awesome.

Oil?

Didn't see this as something that was tagged, but can someone recommend a good place to get some heating oil ordered from? (Local to Davis is great, if possible.)

I'm still kind of New to New England, and this whole order Heating Oil thing is so different from the Midwest.

does anyone know what's burning near powderhouse circle?  we drove by and saw a *ton* of firetrucks and police on our way to the gym, and they were still there over an hour later.  we also saw a ton of smoke even blocks away.
