Speaking of littering...

...has anyone noticed the number of "Reminders" about street cleaning blowing down the streets? I counted 6 on my walk home from work tonight. Aside from the littering aspect, there has to be a greener way to notify residents about street cleaning than printing up full sized sheets of paper to put on all the cars parked on Somerville streets.

I didn't actually read it, just could see that it was reminding residents street cleaning begins April 1st. Does anyone know if this was executed by the city itself?

What was Goodwill trying to advertise?

"Children's clothes are back."

Why were children's clothes gone, and why are they back? I vaguely remember a sign in the store about legal liability or something.

What I recall is that there was some (Federal?) law about children's items needing to meet certain standards - probably due to all the cases of Chinese-made children's items being full of lead and other bad stuff - which had many small crafters, and apparently Goodwill, afraid to sell/resell children's things.

But since I don't buy or make things for children, I stopped paying attention to how it was playing out.
