The driver of the car who hit the student, also a Somerville resident, cooperated with investigators, police said, but they believe at least one more person was standing at the intersection when the accident took place and that another vehicle was driving behind the car involved in the accident.

Some of you might remember that a meeting about the Beacon Street Reconstruction was cancelled due to the Hurricane; a new meeting has been scheduled by the city. Details below:

[x-posted from PSNA]

For those of you on the Somerville side of Porter and live along Beacon Street, a public meeting will be held on the Beacon Street Reconstruction project this Tuesday November 13th at 6pm in the Kennedy School Cafeteria on Cherry St. The Somerville Transportation Director and Ward 2 Alderman will be presenting the latest design proposal.
 

One of the issues that has sparked some controversy about this project is the removal of all parking on the even-side of the street from Oxford to Washington St. to accommodate the installation of 7' cycletracks. This will be 111 parking spaces that will be permanently removed and could cause serious issues for businesses and residents in the area. Part of the reason for removing this much park was on the basis of a parking study conducted on 3 days this year:  May 19th, May 23rd, and June 19th.

Recovering stolen cameras and sd memory cards

[mnsmom.livejournal.com]

A couple of weeks ago my car was broken into here in Davis Square and my camera and camcorder were stolen.  I don't usually leave them in the car.  I forgot that they were there and when I remembered the next day, they were gone.  Unfortunately there was a bunch of videos from my daughters first year of life that I hadn't downloaded yet.  I'm more upset about that than the cameras. I keep hoping that the memory cards might still be out there, and whoever took them, or has them now might be willing to sell them back to me.   I know it's a long shot but has anyone had any luck recovering stolen goods like this? I filed a police report and have been checking craigslist. Any tips on next steps to take?   Thanks in advance.  

Orange Leaf frozen yogurt 'Grand Opening' - Saturday 11/10

Orange Leaf frozen yogurt is holding an official Grand Opening on Saturday, November 10, which is probably 'today' by the time you read this post. They will be open from 11 am to 11 pm, and will give away 25 8-ounce cups of froyo every two hours.

The leaflet they mailed to me also promises 'other great prizes & give aways, free balloons & face painting'.

Orange Leaf is in 'Davis Square Plaza', the private walkway between Starbucks and Chipotle, next to Boston Tattoo Company. They've actually been open already for the past two weeks.
