more Dickson St stuff

There's an old table, with some paint stains but made of real wood. And there's an indoor tree that's known some hard times since the apartment's green thumb moved out, and would appreciate a more loving home.

air planes

I know this is a controversial subject, but whatever.  So I was out for what I was hoping would be a nice summer night walk to Davis, and all I hear for the entire walk are extremely loud and low flying air planes.  Logan is sending every plane over our neighborhoods today...a new plane every 30 seconds.  So loud that you have to pause your conversation.  I was able to capture one on my phone cam, so nobody can deny it this time.

Anyways, I remember there being a lawsuit a few years back.  Something about the city of Somerville suing Massport for illegally overusing the new runway against what they communicated before creating the new runway.  Years have passed and nothing has happened with that, as far as I know.  Is there any hope in putting an end to this, or at least reducing it a bit?  It wasn't ever this bad 4+ years ago.  Just looking for more info, as the mayor's office doesn't seem to respond to emails about this. 

BSC Membership

Is anyone out there interested in taking over my BSC (Wellington Circle) membership? No money down and only $55 a month. It's a great gym, but my new job has one on site. You can work out in Davis off hours and on weekends. Thx.

Single-use-battery recycling?

Hi, does anyone know of a place that accepts alkaline batteries for recycling? Whole Foods used to have a bucket to collect them but they no longer do. Staples seems to collect rechargeables only. I read the Somerville Household Hazardous Waste day info. and they seem to be interested only in car batteries and rechargeables. Thanks...

Curb alert: Old RCA turntable'n'radio cabinet

[squirrelitude]

Biking home from seeing Inception at the Somerville Theater, we came across an old RCA radio/turntable cabinet out with the trash cans in front of 43 Paulina St. I have no idea if it works, but it would be a damn shame for this to go into the garbage truck.
