Town Hall Meeting on Health Care Reform with Kerry (last night).

"SOMERVILLE - Senator John F. Kerry told thousands of people gathered for a town hall meeting last night that millions of Americans will lose their jobs in the next five years if Congress does nothing to change the nation’s health care system. Kerry addressed a mostly friendly crowd of about 2,800 at Somerville High School, where the auditorium and gymnasium were packed with those interested in the proposed national health care overhaul."

Pots for herbs

[quinnesocrates.livejournal.com]

Hey all. I just obtained four smallish herb plants and need some nice sturdy pots for them. Does anyone have any in the area they're looking to get rid of?

Free would of course be awesome, but I can pay too.

Please let me know if you have anything like this. It would be greatly appreciated.

I can pick them up. :)

Somerville Theater = AMC Lowes Harvard Sq?

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I understand the Somerville Theater strategy. They almost always have the same movies as the AMC Lowes in Harvard Sq. For example, this week:

http://calendar.boston.com/cambridge-ma/venues/show/22172-amc-loews-harvard-square

I know that the ST has special events and all, but wouldn't it be a better strategy to do what the Kendall theater does? Try to differentiate themselves from the big chains to get the special artsy/geeky crowd in the area?... I'm sure there are issues I'm not aware of, but it seems to me they are not exploiting their niche.

PS: Check out the really fascinating explanation for this pattern by the man himself, svilletheatre  , near the bottom of the thread.

Seeking shared office space

[ebecker.livejournal.com]

I'm seeking shared office space in the Davis/Porter area starting mid-October. Any leads would be appreciated. I'm looking for a single private office in a shared office environment with common kitchen, copier, etc. I already know about the Brickyard Collaborative by Danehy Park in Cambridge, which looks promising, though a bit pricey. Any other similar setups you know of in the area?

Thanks,
Eric
