Found an apparently stolen and abandoned bicycle in Davis Sq

[pywaket.livejournal.com]

Hi All,

I found a bicycle in Davis Sq, across the street from the Goodwill on Wednesday evening. It was there, leaning partially against a lightpole with the rear wheel (flat) partially in the street at 6:30. When I came back by at 9 pm or so, it was still there, so I checked in the pizza place to make sure it didn't belong to anyone there and then decided to take it home and post here and Craigslist looking for the owner. My guess is that a thief stole it and when it got a flat, ditched it on the side of the road.

This is an unusual style of bike, not a standard road or mtb frame. If you lost a bike in the last couple of days, and can describe it sufficiently well to convince me this one is yours, please send a message to me and we'll set up a time for you to come pick it up.

News Copter?

Any idea why that helicopter has been hovering over the 93/Mystic River area for the past half hour or so? Massive traffic accident? IKEA sneak opening? Sea monsters?

Today's Groupon: Elephant Walk ($20 for $40 worth of food)

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd pass this along (I also get a $10 referral if you use this link :p) but today's groupon is for the Elephant Walk, including the location between Porter and Davis. You have to choose which location when you buy it and I think it's only good for food (2 entrees and an app or dessert would be about $40 there anyhow).

$600900 Looking for a place? Me too! Let's look together (Cambridge/Somerville/Red line)

[museician.livejournal.com]

Hello Cambervillains,

I am looking for preferably 1, possibly 2, women to search for an apartment for 9/1 in these areas (somewhat in order of preference):

~Inman Sq.
~Central Sq.
~Harvard Sq.
~Porter Sq.
~Davis Sq.
~Teele Sq.
~possibly East Arlington

I'm a nonsmoking, non drug-using, musician/composer/music teacher looking for housemates preferably 30's plus, though most important is a good fit. I enjoy sharing space with other like-minded, mature, responsible artists and creative people. I'm very clean (def not uptight about it, but def not messy), quiet, friendly, responsible, respectful of others' space, and experienced in sharing space and living with others in the city.

**I have two short-haired, well-behaved cats who get along well with other animals, and I keep their litterbox very clean. I would welcome other pets.**

I'm looking to pay $600 to $900/mo, and if on the higher price side, hopefully including some or all utilities.

If this sounds interesting so far, email me at kineticfeline@gmail.com and we can talk more.
