Fall is upon us, which means it’s time for Somerville Local First’s (SLF) Sixth Annual Harvest Fest 2014, one of the premier beer and food tasting events of the year.  

Somerville Local First, a nonprofit organization working to build sustainable local economies, will host its sixth annual festival and fundraiser in two sessions on Saturday, October 18, 2014, at the Arts at the Armory. All event proceeds go towards SLF's operating budget to build and strengthen the local movement and local business community in Somerville all year long.

GOT rid of old appliances

[vibrantabyss.livejournal.com]

All work, but they are ~10-12 year old...  gas stove, washer, dryer.  Also I think two A/C units left behind by former tenants.

56 Waterhouse St.  First come first serve.  They will be curbed tomorrow with free/works signs.  But if anyone needs a backup or replacement, figured I'd give you first shot.

All gone/scavanged/whatever.

Longfellow bridge closed, Red Line busing Kendall<->Park St, October 11-12 (HONK! weekend)

On October 11-12 (HONK! Festival weekend), the Red Line will be replaced by shuttle buses between Park Street and Kendall Square stations. The Longfellow Bridge will be closed in both directions to all wheeled traffic except for MBTA shuttle buses.

Pedestrians will still be able to cross the bridge on the downstream sidewalk, but bicycles must be walked. (The usual bicycle lanes won't exist while MBTA buses are going both directions on the bridge.)

According to the e-mail I got from MassDOT, "The diversion is necessary for MassDOT’s design/build contractor, White-Skanska-Consigli JV, to perform work in close proximity to the Red Line tracks that is not possible during MBTA service hours."
