bag stolen from Diesel

[latvianchick.livejournal.com]

So, I lost a brown satchel. Left it at Diesel Friday morning, came back, and nobody had turned it in. Bad me, no cookie.

There were plenty of things in there that would be valuable to people other than myself - like cash and an iPad. There was one thing in there that would be of no value to anyone but is extremely valuable to me and a real bear to replace, namely my (foreign) passport. So if anyone finds a discarded brown satchel (a tattered Kipling), or a discarded Latvian passport, or something along those lines, please, please pick it up and call me. 857-204-8727. I will be forever in your debt.

Yes, I have made a police report.

Is there a map online, or a database from which a map could be built, of where trash pickup happens each day of the week near Davis, or for all of Somerville or Cambridge?

Bike Boom has a real storefront now

[ron_newman]

Bike Boom is no longer in an alley behind a dumpster next to Snappy Sushi.

The used bike and repair shop moved this morning to 389 Highland Avenue, the former home of Your Move Games (and, later, of Bone Appetit pet food store and Buzzy's head shop).

Somerville Soil

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend said one of his professors once told him that her son developed "problems" due to constantly playing in the dirt when he was little, and that tests found there was high lead concentration in the soil of Somerville.

I have scoured the net and cannot find anything to support this. Is there any reason why I shouldn't eat something growing from the soil in our backyards?
