Free DVD stand

My housemates and I are unloading some stuff before we move, including a DVD display stand holds approximately 30+ DVDs face out just like in movie stores.  If you want it comment below and we can arrange for a time for you to pick it up.  I live at 90 Conwell near teele. 

What's happening at Willoughby and Baltic?

I know you all must be asking yourself that question daily, so I thought I'd give you an update so you can sleep at night.

Willoughby and Baltic is moving the headquarters to Union Square and expanding. So now we'll have a public access electronics lab, metal and wood shop, forge, foundry, neon, glass facilities and a bunch of other stuff. We'll also have room for all 63+ full members and all of the people who want to learn to make cool stuff and need space to do it. Our little 400 square foot shop isn't big enough anymore.

We're moving to a 9,000 square foot space at 13 Joy Street this month. Then we'll get back to our bike path project, and some other community endeavors.

So why is this a Davis Square post? Because we still want to support the arts community in Davis, we've decided to rent out the original Willoughby and Baltic gallery space to local artists for one week at a time to keep the shows going starting June 1st. If you ever wanted to try your hand at running your own space, this is a good way to test the waters. We are renting it at cost to us, which is roughly $200 per week. We're not making a profit at this, we just want the space to go to the arts. (If you want to see the cost breakdown I can do that for you).

food donation

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

My choir has a moderate amount (2 paper grocery bags stuffed to the gills) of food that we'd like to donate somewhere. This is all stuff that was brought to rehearsals for breaktime, so it's snacky stuff like crackers, chips, cookies, etc. (these bags only contain unopened packages, the opened stuff having been otherwise dealt with). Is there some food pantry, homeless shelter, etc., that would take this stuff as a donation? I can google but there's a bewildering array of hits for "somerville food pantry" (and similar terms) and it's hard to figure out from teh interwebz which places accept which kinds of donations.

Thanks in advance!

If you do use twitter, how about we start using #davissq as a hashtag for things in/about Davis Square?

hello everyone,

i'm looking for a local fabric store that has a decent variety of cotton, wool, and, ideally, also carries cordura (though this isn't essential yet). any suggestions?

thanks!

ETA: anyone have any experience with fabric corner in arlington? this appears to be one of the closest to my apartment.
