Fur cleaners?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I have a fur hat that is in dire need of cleaning before winter sets in. Can anyone recommend a place in the area where I could get this done? Thanks in advance!

New to MA, dealing with car/license stuff

[sparr0.livejournal.com]

I'm new(ish) to MA and Somerville and looking to get all my automotive ducks in a row. I brought a truck with me, which has a clean GA title and expired plates from GA, and have bought a car here, which has a signed-over MA title and no plates. The truck and I have GA-issued insurance. I have a GA driver's license. Neither vehicle has a MA inspection sticker, and I expect them both to fail at least once in some quickly rectifiable manner. Neither has a Somerville parking permit.

I live in Somerville, but have not gotten any mail yet and won't be getting any utilities in my name.

Can someone give me some pointers on what order I should address this all in, and what things I need to gather or do beforehand? I'm ready to spend a day or two standing in lines and such, but I suspect that having a plan ahead of time will save me a lot of wasted effort.

Honk / Somerville article in NYT

OK, I'm not fishing for flames. I love the energy of Honk but the music not so much. However, pretty neat to see this festival getting mention in the NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/09/arts/music/honk-festival-of-street-bands-in-somerville-mass.html

BOLO: Crying Velvet Elvis from MOBA/Somerville Theatre

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

As the 2nd in my continuing series documenting art theft in the Greater Davis Square area, I bring you today a heartbreaking theft from the Museum of Bad Art.

From their Facebook page:

ANOTHER THEFT AT MOBA!

This piece has been stolen from the MOBA gallery in the Somerville Theatre. It was on display for informational purposes only, as we do not include paintings on velvet in the collection. This is the second theft this year; it's getting annoying. If you are the selfish lout who took it, or have information about the piece's whereabouts, please contact: curator@museumofbadart.org.
