Emergency Vehicles on Holland?

[enveri.livejournal.com]

Anyone know what was going on last night on Holland westbound in front of the Somerville Theater last night? We had to troop out to Arlington around 7:15 and there were something like 4 fire trucks and other assorted emergency responders. We heard a bunch of sirens around 6-ish, and when we left we found out where they were going. :(

Increase in assault cases in Davis/Porter area

I got this email from Tufts yesterday. Apparently the police are aware of the increase in similar-sounding assault cases in the Davis/Porter area.

Free AC on Powderhouse Blvd

There is a free, working air conditioner currently sitting in front of 36 power house blvd in its original box. Looks like it could use being rinsed off (dusty) but the sign says that it works well, and the user manual is inside the box.

it's a whirlpool, 5,000 BTUs, doesn't look like it has a remote or a timer or anything like that so it's probably >5 years old

Trash comes Monday mornings on PHB so guessing you'd have to snag it today
