Special Election for US Senate - Poll

[ron_newman]

The special primary election for Senator Kennedy's seat will take place on Tuesday, December 8. Seems like a good time to post a poll and find out who davis_square residents support. I'll probably post a second one a few days before the election.

Like previous political polls in our community, this one is public, with all votes publicly readable. If you'd like, post a comment saying why you support your favorite candidate (or oppose some other candidate). There are still a lot of undecided voters out here.

[Poll #1484875]

Anyone know of a rock-climbing gym in or near Davis Square?

Not interested in one at the Boston Sports Club (not interested in paying $70/month). Any others?

I am so so so excited about this I cannot even tell you!

Vej Naturals, a vegan restaurant in a tiny little hole in the wall is coming to Davis...I saw it on Twitter and then went to their website and it was confirmed.

Anybody know exactly where they will be?

Yay!!!
