Francesca Ave closed today?

There are a bunch of "No Parking Emergency" signs along Francesca Ave for all day today, but the only reason I can make out on them is "B/O." I'm trying to figure out if the street's going to be closed today, because I was thinking about running some errands with a Zipcar. I thought maybe the church block party was today, but according to their events calendar it's still a month out. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks in avdance.

3 officers standing by the CVS stopping cyclists. Not sure if they're ticketing or not, but I suspect so.

Tufts Football Night Game - Sept. 24th

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

I was checking out the Tufts football schedule for this season and noticed that the Sept. 24th home game is slated to start at 6 pm. Considering the games usually take 3 hours and need time (and lights) for overtime, that seemed off. Most Tufts games start between noon and 1:30.

I checked today... the field doesn't have any recently installed lights, but this tweet seems to confirm that the game will be a night game:

We're just 1 month from kickoff under the lights at the Ellis Oval!! #LightsCameraBos #BostonsNESCACTeam #RollBos

I expect a different vibe for the neighborhood with a night game. If successful, it might signal a change in the pattern for the future.
