Need Compost?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I've pulled as much compost as I can use, but with just a few containers this year, my needs are minimal. Before I start filling my bin with new vegetable scraps, would anyone like some excellent compost for their garden?

Pickup a few blocks from Davis, bring your own bucket/scoop, and must be neat about it.

Rosebud Diner closing? Somerville Scout says yes, Wicked Local says no

[ron_newman]

Somerville Scout published an online article today: Owner's Son: Rosebud Diner to Close. Not much detail here.

The Scout article repeats "rumors in the past" that Tasty Burger might come in, but does not confirm them. Here's a DSLJ post about that from last February. I've heard elsewhere that Tasty Burger has decided to move to Harvard Square instead.

ETA: The Wicked Local (Somerville Journal) blog says no, Rosebud is not closing.

Who to believe?

Who would steal a work of art called 'Honesty' ?

[ron_newman]

Seven months ago, my friend Pauline Lim placed nine 'Urban Shrine' assemblages all over Somerville, most of them outdoors. She published their GPS coordinates and challenged geocachers to find all of them.

Last night, after the Redbones Bike Party, she strolled down Holland Street to show another friend the shrine she had placed closest to Davis Square:

But when she reached the place where it should have been hanging, she discovered that someone had stolen it from the chain-link fence just to the left of Dave's Fresh Pasta.

The name of the missing shrine? 'Honesty'.

If you find Pauline's work of art anywhere -- a trash can, a recycling bin, a yard sale, a flea market -- please tell both Pauline and the Somerville Police immediately. You can reach her at lim at PaulineLim.net. Thank you.
