Need to move ASAP

[redcolumbine.livejournal.com]

Someone decided that my apartment is in violation of building codes, and I need to move ASAP.

I am not looking for a housemate situation.

My max budget is $1100/mo.

I have a cat.

I need to have MBTA access. Subway preferred, buses OK, commuter rail if absolutely nothing else works out, but I don't drive.

I am quiet, steadily employed, don't smoke or do drugs, and can provide a great reference from my landlord.

So - any ideas? Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you think might know of a suitable place.

Posts of "haw haw haw, what are you smoking, you can't get a place anywhere near Davis for under $2K" are expected, and will be ignored. I've lived here long enough to know that an ethical landlord with an odd space - basement, attic, mother-in-law with shared entrance - will often be reluctant to post it at an affordable price for fear of attracting losers, so I'm here to say, "Here's your Winner, long-term and reliable!" My current landlord will attest to same. And, as explained above, it doesn't have to be in Davis (although staying in Somerville would be delightful!) I'm just getting the word out however I can.

Many thanks!

7-Eleven buys Tedeschi's

The national 7-Eleven chain has bought the local Tedeschi's chain.

From the news report, it's not clear whether the Tedeschi name will disappear, and whether the merger will result in store closures. 7-Eleven currently has a store at Mass Ave and Day Street, three blocks from the Tedeschi store in Davis Square.

When 7-Eleven bought the White Hen Pantry chain a few years ago, they closed White Hen's Ball Square store, a couple blocks from 7-Eleven's store at Broadway and Cedar.

Bike storage at Davis

Does anyone here use the bike storage at Davis for commuting? If so, do you know what time it starts to fill up? Trying to decide whether I should take the bus to the T or bike around 8 AM. Thanks!

Epson ink-jet printer repair?

[ron_newman]

My Epson CX4200 ink-jet printer/scanner/copier is intermittently failing with all red lights flashing and an "E" in the LED numeric display.

Can anyone here recommend a place or person who can fix it? Micro Center doesn't fix printers. The nearest authorized Epson service center is in Weymouth, which would not be an enjoyable trip on public transit. The printer is 9 years old, so it's long out of warranty and "authorized" isn't important to me.
