RadioBDC "Live on the [Union] Square" show proceeding Sunday 10/13 even though not yet approved

[ron_newman]

Boston.com's RadioBDC is aggressively promoting its free Union Square concert on Sunday, October 13 even though the Somerville Board of Aldermen have not yet approved it. (When you read to the end of the article, you'll see that only a three-member subcommittee has very grudgingly given its approval; the full board has yet to vote on this.)

I suggest that you walk or bike to this show if you want to attend it. The show starts at noon, which is also when the HONK! Parade begins, shutting down Davis and Porter squares and all of Mass. Ave. down to Harvard Square. Harvard Square will also be closed to traffic for Oktoberfest. It's not clear yet whether the RadioBDC show will close down all of Union Square, or just the plaza and parking lot. The bus routes serving Union Square (86, 87, 91) will all likely be seriously diverted or delayed.

where to buy area rugs in the area?

I'm looking for an area rug for a baby's room. Where might I go locally to look for one? We need a round rug and those seem to be in the minority, so somewhere with a big selection is definitely a plus.

Projector Screen

A group I belong to needs a projector screen for an evening presentation. Does anyone have suggestions on where we could rent or otherwise source one?

Davis street piano hours?

[boblothrope.livejournal.com]

The Davis street piano has a laminated paper sign saying you can play it from 9 am to 9 pm.

Is that an official rule, or did some random person make the sign? There are no hours listed here, even though other listings do have time restrictions.

Having some limit does make sense, since people live above Tedeschi's, etc. But 9 pm is ridiculous. I think a more reasonable end time for such a busy location would be 11 pm or midnight. What does the city noise ordinance say about street musicians and other noise at night?
