bagel help

Hi! I am moving to the area in January, from a land void of a decent bagel. How are the bagels there? Where should I get them?

Have bed bugs, am moving - recs or advice?

Hi, I searched through the other pest control tagged posts, but I didn't see anything related to moving out of an infested apartment.

My apartment was sprayed twice for bed bugs, though the other people in the building were not (it's my landlord and his family, and he hasn't done anything - I'm looking into getting my money back from him, too). After 2 sprays, I'm still getting bitten. Meanwhile, I decided to move out, because I thought it was all taken care of, but I wanted to get out of here.

So, does anyone know of a good way to move out of my apartment without taking the bugs with me? I've been looking for companies who will fumigate my items in a truck, or spray the furniture, et al, on my way out. If anybody knows of a good pest control company who might do something like that, please let me know. Or if you have advice on what the procedure should be while moving out, please let me know.

Thanks.

looking for covered zipcar locations

I recently joined Zipcar. Almost a year ago, my car was run over by a snowplow, while parked in the lot behind my apartment building in Arlington. Since then, my landlord has required tenants to move their cars out of the lot when it snows. As I am too disabled to shovel, and nearly too disabled to scrape ice off a car, I spent quite a lot of time, money, and aggravation last winter, arranging snow clearance and snow parking, with most of my winter driving being from "free" parking to parking I had to pay for. I managed to protect my replacement car through last winter, and use it through the summer and fall. Then it was stuck in traffic on Monday, when it was rear-ended by a smaller car skidding on a patch of black ice. And totaled. It's hard for me to talk about this without profanity.

I joined Zipcar so I would not need to hire somebody to shovel out my car every time it snows, or even every time I needed to drive between snowfall and snowmelt. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But the critical appointment I was driving to when my old car was totaled has been rescheduled for next Monday morning...and the weather forecast for Sunday night is predicting a 40% chance of snow. The Zipcar office tells me that some Zipcars are parked in garages, but the best they can tell me about WHERE is, "oh, there are lots down at the Prudential." I don't want to be way over there, in a neighborhood I don't know at all, during rush hour, when I have to get out on I-95.

Can any of you direct me to Zipcars IN A GARAGE, on the 77 bus route or the Red Line? I'll be coming down Mass Ave from Arlington, and would rather not come further than necessary, but the garage is necessary. And I'd prefer to avoid nightmarish traffic, if possible. Before I realized snow was a concern, the Arlington Center Zipcars looked appealing, just it's so simple to get to route 2 from there.
