nice mid-century modern chairs for sale

[quinnesocrates.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. I'm moving and sadly need to get rid of a few things I've held onto for a long time.

This is a set of two matching mid-century modern living room chairs that were custom re-upholstered about six years ago in stain and tear resistant faux suede (vegan!). These were my grandmother's in the 50s, and I've held onto them for years, but I'm going to be leaving the state soon and will sadly have to let them go, hopefully to a good home. They're heavy and sturdy. They have held up beautifully. You can definitely tell they were made to last and will last much, much longer. They're a beautiful gold color.

I'm asking $150 for the set, but I'm hoping more for a good home for 'em than lotsa $$. I'm at the corner of Hancock and Summer St.

I also have a set of matching couches in a complementary red color if you're interested.

Memorial Day parade this Sunday

[ron_newman]

The City of Somerville will hold its annual Memorial Day parade this Sunday, May 27. The parade leaves City Hall at 1 pm, marching down Highland Avenue to Davis Square, Holland Street to Teele Square, and finally Broadway to the Veterans' Cemetery next to Johnnie's Foodmaster.

According to the official press release, "The parade will include 12 marching bands, along with a wide range of community and school groups, the popular specialty units of the Aleppo Shriners, as well as representatives of local veterans', fire, and police units from surrounding cities and towns. For the first time, the parade will include a professional women's soccer team, the Boston Breakers who will march with players and coaches from the Somerville Youth Soccer League. "

The press release also outlines the usual car parking restrictions along the route and on side streets near the parade's start and end points.

Last year, the city asked people to remove bicycles parked to signposts, parking meters, and bike racks along the parade route, and said that the DPW would impound any bike still parked on the route after 9 am Sunday. I don't see this mentioned in this year's press releases.

RAWR! Who stole this Weekly Dig box from Davis Square?

This Weekly Dig box, designed by artist Cat Tweedie at Artisan’s Asylum, has disappeared from its home outside Mike's Restaurant in Davis Square. If you have any information about its current whereabouts, please contact the Somerville Police and/or craigt@digpublishing.com . Thank you.

It is one of five Asylum-designed Dig boxes placed around Somerville earlier this spring.
