Interesting article about the happiness survey in the census forms, curious how this will evolve over time:

I realize that most people don't read newspapers broadsheet anymore, so here is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/us/01happiness.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=somerville&st=cse

Secret of the SOS Trolley?

[cos]

A trolleylike vehicle that may have been the SOS trolley just zoomed past me at Gilman Square, while I was looking around for one of those "blue and green SOS Bus signs along the route" that the map booklet tells me should be there. As far as I can see, there aren't any around here. Anyone know the secret of spotting the Trolley - and getting it to stop for you?

Found VW keys in front of Rosebud this morning

Hello,

I found some keys in front of the Rosebud this morning.

They include a VW key...I know how expensive those are.

I tried to give the keys to the Rosebud but they did not want them.

I am going to bring them to the police station now, but in the event someone is looking for them right now, you can email me with the actual keychain description at jonbastonin@gmail.com

Thanks!

Seeking dog-friendly studio/1BR for May/June 1st

[sleeping-hare.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone,

I am a young professional working in the Longwood area looking to move to a studio or 1 BR apartment within this month or June 1st. My max budget is $1200/month. I'd like to stay in the Cambridge/Somerville area in a quiet neighborhood, or near the Longwood area.

- My 8 y/o spayed female, 35 lb Austrailian cattle dog mix will be living with me; she is housebroken.

- I will need a place to park my car--whether it's a designated parking space or street parking.

- 10 minutes or less walking distance to the Red line/Green line, or bus stop

- Heat/hot water included.

If anyone has anything available that meets those requirements, please contact me. Thanks!
