Free TV stand and cd cases

[nikkicosta.livejournal.com]

 I'm putting out a nice 36 inch tv/media stand (Sonax 36" wide, glass shelf, black & silver TV stand w/wire management) and a box of empty CD cases. 114 Albion Street across from Albion Park.

Stand is gone already.

Anyone here read 'The Two Worlds Of Style Delaney' about Davis Sq. in the 1950s?

Has anyone here read this recent novel about Davis Square in the 1950s, which was written up in the Somerville Journal this week?

I'd never heard of 'The Two Worlds Of Style Delaney' by Daniel McNeill until the article appeared, but now I'm curious about it.

People, take care of your pets please.

 So, it seems as though my next-door neighbor left for the weekend with one of her cats outside.  I know the cat belongs to her because she's pretty distinct looking and I saw her run out from the bush she's been hiding in all day for a few minutes this afternoon.  And the bush it's been hiding in is in the neighbor's front yard.  There wasn't much that I or anyone else could do considering that the neighbor was not responsive to a voicemail that someone left, and both animal control and the local Animal Rescue League branch did not have anyone working today for rescue missions.  I don't have cats so I have no cat food, but I left a bowl of water.  Someone else followed my lead and left a bowl of food.  

The poor thing sounds absolutely miserable and seems terrified.  I just do not understand how anyone could leave their house for the weekend knowing that their pet, which depends on its owner for survival, is outside of the house.  I know a lot of people in this area have dogs and cats.  We've all seen the lost pet posts in this community, not to mention stuck on lamp-posts and trees in the neighborhood.  Rant at me all you want, I just don't understand how hard it is to take care of your pets.  Please, everyone, take better care of your pets, because it's heartbreaking to hear her cries right now through the open window of my bedroom, knowing that I can't do anything to help.  And no animal deserves such stress.


Edit: Jesus Christ, you people are really jumping down my throat about this. I just want to make a few things clear: First of all, yeah, I sound a bit pissed in this post. You would be pretty damn frustrated yourself if you knew there was an animal in distress and there was nothing you could do about it and the people who are supposed to help with that sort of thing are all on their day off. Second of all, about calling animal control/Animal Rescue League. I did that before I had seen the cat and was able to ID her. At the point that I first called, she had been under the center of a huge bush, I couldn't see her, she wouldn't come out even for food, and with the added factor that her cries sounded potentially painful, I thought she might have been hurt. And like I said, at that point, I didn't know that she belonged to my neighbor. So forgive me if I thought that calling animal control was the right thing to do. It's what is most often suggested by the very same people responding to this post in other posts about lost or found pets. So I don't get why everyone has such a problem with it right now. I called the Animal Rescue League because animal control had no officers on duty and that is the number that they give out when they can't come pick up an animal. For those people suggesting that I or a neighbor take her in - it's not an option for me, and most of the neighbors don't seem to care beyond the fact that having to listen to her out there is "driving them crazy." So I guess, based on your suggestions, that I won't call animal control if she's still out there when I leave for work today. I guess I can just leave her to fend for herself until her owner gets home. That sure sounds like the right thing to do.

Walking track

Hi All,

I like walking on a outdoor track, a year or two back I'd go to Dilboy stadium track but they no longer have hours for Somerville residents. Does anyone know of safe,localish(have car), well lit outdoor track where people can walk in the evenings? Tufts? Highschool?

Thanks
