It looks like Skyline dry cleaners has closed; there’s a for rent sign and all the equipment is gone.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard from them and they still have some of my shirts. The voice mailbox is full, and the social media has been dormant for several years.

Anyone have a contact number or email?

Hey folks: I know it's a drag to watch yet another social media site and create new logins and such, but for those who might be interested there's a reddit-like alternative underway in early experimentation.

https://kbin.social/m/somerville

The m/somerville thing is analogous to a subreddit like r/somerville--but they call them "magazines" there. You can post a link to an article, upload an image, all the typical stuff.

It's hard to migrate, and I know that nobody wants to move until there's more content. But there's only more content if people contribute to it. Very chicken-egg status.

I used this FAQ to get started and begin to understand the terminology and functions: https://kbin.social/m/kbinfaqs@kilioa.org/t/20459/A-small-FAQ-to-hopefully-help-new-users-to-kbin

Can anyone recommend a dentist who's good at dealing with damaged and worn teeth? Someone who's up on all the current treatment techniques?
Places that require driving would still count as accessible in this case. Near Davis is ideal, but anywhere inside the I-95 loop could work.
Bonus points for Covid-safe with air purifiers.

Current Mood: hopeful

We're looking for someone to build a custom enclosure for an outdoor heat pump unit we had installed recently, which is about 6 feet high, 3.5' wide. The enclosure would need to be made of something like a lattice to avoid blocking airflow, and it would most likely need to have posts dug into the ground to make it sturdy enough to stand up in the wind.

Do any of you have recommendations for someone who can take on this kind of job? We've consulted local handypersons who have said it's too large a project for them, and carpentry and fencing companies who have said it's too small.

Current Location: Porter/Davis Squares

Looking for recommendations (or warnings) for mold remediation services so that my kiddo can use his new room. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of any pharmacies that have had adderall this past week? Anywhere within reach of a zipcar, I guess.

(I know the pharmacies that have been stocked in general since the shortage started. They are not stocked right now, so I am really only looking for the Arcane Knowledge: who's had it very, very recently.)

(Raise your hand if you have a neurodivergence that makes it really really hard to call every pharmacy in town when you're under-medicated! Smile if 60 minutes of CVS hold music has ever made you contemplate arson! What has two thumbs and has an insurance company that won't let you even place the order until you only have three days of meds left!)

Current Mood: crazy

I'm moving soon and I'd like to hire some movers, truck included. Do you have any recommendations or disrecommendations for me? Thanks in advance!

I just got off the phone with the Davis Square Harvard Vanguard Dermatology office: they're booking into September (omg). I'd been hoping to be seen sometime this quarter. Anybody got a great dermatologist somewhere around here who's not in the DS HV Dermatology department? Bonus points if you happen to know they are seeing new patients with a less than six month wait, but I'm just happy for referrals to good practitioners. This is for a medical condition, not a cosmetic issue.

Hey Davis Square folks.

I just learned about a new Mastodon server, intended for folks in the Boston area, and given the recent events on Twitter, I thought some folks might be interested: https://better.boston/about

Does anyone have recommendations for computer repair shops?

Specifically, I need to have the screen replaced on a really old ThinkPad laptop (T420).

Thanks!

Hi all.

I'm looking for recommendations for getting good haircuts in the Davis Square or Spring Hill area.

What I'm hoping for is a short cut, either femme or androgynous, that does not require product or hair clips to look good.

I live very close to Hair by Christine & Co at Highland Avenue and Cedar Street, and I love their window paintings but I don't know if that correlates with good haircuts ; )

Thanks in advance!

gingicat

All are welcome, and you can take the 95 bus to get there. For the ones at City Hall, you can also take the 96. I've attended elections inspector and clerk trainings held by Sandy, she's very thorough.

The First Circuit of the US Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the US District Court, dismissing Jonathan Monsarrat's second lawsuit against me for copying Davis Square LiveJournal content to Dreamwidth.

Universal Hub has the full story.

I just got back from my first cleaning since before the pandemic, and learned that I have a cavity in the root of one of my molars that will evidently be complicated to fill. I like my dentist okay, but I want to do absolutely everything I can to avoid the filling failing and needing to get a crown.

Who are the best dentists in the area for this sort of thing?

(and thanks)

Time Bank

The local time bank is having an orientation over Zoom tomorrow.

At least their sign is. I know many members here were fans of Toscanini's so even though it's in Central Square I thought you should know.

I work near their location, and yesterday found a man putting their sign back up. The building they're coming back to has now been made a hotel, so it's very different.

I don't know if the management is the same or anything else, but I do hope this is a hopeful sign.

The Center for the Arts at the Armory is excited to announce the 12th season of the Somerville Winter Farmers Market! This weekly market with 35+ vendors offers the best locally grown and regionally produced foods including fresh produce, cheese, eggs, meats, fish, breads, tamales, Peruvian pastries, chocolate, and more.

This season, the market will return to what it has looked like in previous years -- inside the Armory with live in-person shopping! We will have live music provided by local musicians along with a cozy seating area in our ROOTED cafe.

https://www.somwintermarket.org/

It's running December 4, 2021 (that's tomorrow!) through April 16, 2022 on Saturdays 9:30am-1:30pm. If you're not familiar with the Armory, it's at 191 Highland Ave. Recommend walking or biking, as there's not always enough parking out back.

I'm looking for an auto body shop for what I think is a minimal repair, but I've never actually been to one before. Can anyone recommend one in the area that's good?
