This is a bit farther afield of Davis (Union Square) but I'm hoping someone will have some information. Since late August, when Lazybones Laundry & Storage moved into a space on Somerville Ave., the neighborhood has been swarming with Budget moving trucks.

At first I thought these were for students moving on September 1st, but they seem to actually be a fleet of trucks operated for/by Lazybones. They keep 8-9 of the trucks in the Kiley Barrel lot 24/7, and two to three other trucks idling in front of their location on Somerville Ave, double-parked on the street for loading and unloading.

Besides making it difficult to get past them to McGrath or Target, the trucks are taking up the visitor half of the Kiley Barrel lot, preventing patrons of local restaurants from using it. September 1st has come and gone, but the trucks remain, and appear to be a permanent addition to the neighborhood.

Does anyone know how they're being permitted to operate like this, whether they have some sort of parking/idling permit, and if the trucks will ever leave so visitors can park near the square again?

Edit: Here's a typical day, there were eight trucks in the lot, but some got cut out of the shot.

Tufts Film Series of recent and classic films has returned for this school year. Though they never really advertise it, the folks who run it welcome members of the public, with Tufts students and affiliates having priority in case of a "sell out" (which never really happens).

Here is the master schedule: http://www.tuftsfilmseries.com/fall-13-schedule/

And the Google calendar with specific screening times: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=filmseries@gmail.com&ctz=America/New_York

All screenings are in Barnum Hall 008 (only the back doors are open after hours). Everything subject to change, projectionists are just learning so be prepared for mistakes and confusion, objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

My push lawnmower blade needs replacing (or sharpening, but I have a replacement), but I can't budge the bolt holding it on. Where can I take it? Dell's doesn't do lawn mowers.

ETA: Oh, the cleverness of me. Since Siraco doesn't do mowers, and since all it needed was the bolt loosened and not any actual sharpening, I took it across the street to the gas station.
