Hi Community!

The Open Center For Children, where my daughter has attended since she was 2.7 yo, is having an Open House tomorrow.  We've been nothing but happy with the center and feel our daughter has come a long way emotionally, socially and educationally in her years there.  There are still a few openings available for fall 2011, so stop on by and find out about it!

Here's the official announcement:

Who? All families looking for an exciting and nurturing preschool learning experience for their children

What? Open Center for Children is holding an Open House

When? Saturday morning, March 12 from 10 – 12:00

Where? 155 Powderhouse Blvd. Somerville near the Tufts campus

For More Information: Phone 617-628-3891 or email opencenter@rcn.com or visit www.open-center.org.

Some of the cushions on our couch are in desperate need of being restuffed. Where does one get that sort of thing done around here?

Hello, this is Michael Meehan from the City of Somerville with information about street closures this weekend. On Sunday, March 13th beginning at 9 a.m., police, traffic and parking personnel will be detouring vehicles in and around the Davis, Teele, and Ball Square areas to accommodate the running of the annual Race of Ireland road race.

Secondary roads in these areas may also be closed to through traffic for a brief time in order to allow runners to pass. Major roadways including Holland Street to Alewife Brook Parkway, Powerhouse Boulevard, Broadway (in the Ball Square corridor), Cedar Street and the Community Path will be closed from 11 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. The Davis Square area will be closed to all traffic until approximately 1 p.m.
