French Adventist church

[mindstalk.livejournal.com]

A block or two east on College, there's a Seventh Day Adventist Church, with the main sign entirely in French, but on a side door is taped up a sign in English saying something like "use other door, Sion Church". Anyone here know what's up with it? Do we have an active French Adventist community in the area? What's the history?

Ford Focus 2004, nominal fee to a good home

[gingicat]

Taken! Thank you, everyone.

I'm looking for a good home for my 2004 Ford Focus, preferably with someone who otherwise can't afford the initial investment in a car and needs to have one. I inherited a larger car in better shape (though older) from my father-in-law and so we currently have three cars and two drivers.

It would be a good fit for someone who can do their own repairs.

The car is a 2004 Ford Focus with 149K miles, automatic transmission, power package, antilock brakes. I'm the second owner and I've had it since early 2007. It was surprisingly excellent in last winter's snow and in the snowstorms we had this winter.

In good condition, the car is worth less than $2000.

Condition issues: When I got it detailed in hopeful preparation for handoff, I also got an estimate of immediate repairs needed. It needs all new mounts (engine, transmission) and they estimated parts and labor at more than $500. It probably also needs new windshield wipers. It has some rust and dents, as you'd expect. I've been living with not being able to control the back windows from the front seat for a while. There are some wiper motor issues - it does intermittent and steady well, but has to be turned off in the down position or it stays up. Someone who likes to tinker could fix both of those.

Contact me if you'd like to test drive it... we live in Medford but it's trivial to bring the car to Somerville.
