I stopped in Porter Square Galleria yesterday and Blockbuster Video is closing their shop (lease is up).

Cantabrigia says that their last day is August 23: http://ow.ly/gcen

Entire inventory on sale. Most everything is at least 25% off, still a sizable amount of media and trinkets available.

Anyone have further information? What kind of shop would work there in its place? A clothing store would do well there, with the Gap and Burlington Coat Factory gone...

Joe Lynch hosts a half-hour talk show called "Greater Somerville", which airs live each Tuesday at 7:30 pm on SCAT cable channel 3. It is now also available on the Web.

(If someone can figure out how to use the rewind and fast-forward buttons, could you please add a comment here? Thanks.)

Davis Square's Kickass Cupcakes is on the latest installment of WGBH's show One Guest:

One Guest is always interesting; check it out!
(One Guest is also on facebook for those of you who indulge in that. That's how I get updated on the show's fabulous guests).

Not Davis Square, but I figured this opportunity in Cambridge would be of interest to some : )

Share's global mission is to bring both the technorati and the technically-curious together in celebration of extemporaneous audio and visual experimentation through collaboration.

( More info!! : ) )

And, courtesy of the Somerville Journal, enjoy this video of last night's celebratory parade. The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society marching band performed outside the Holland Street T entrance around 9:30 last night, then sauntered down the sidewalk to Sabur restaurant in Teele Square, where State Senator Pat Jehlen and State Rep. Denise Provost hosted a victory party.

(My bicycle and I show up briefly about 0:24 into the video)

Everyone in Davis Square is going insane right now, mostly about question 2 than Obama...

I was just down there...and the cars were honking and people were screaming...

Were any of you guys one of them?

Current Mood: amused

Does anyone know if there is over the air digital tv reception in the Davis Square area? I'm looking to drop my cable but would still like to have basic networks particularly for the election season.

Did you know that your ticket stubs for the Brattle Theatre as well as the Somerville Theatre allow you 2 for 1 rentals any day of the week (both new releases and old)?

Anyway, I have way more Brattle stubs than I can ever use at the video store and I'd be willing to turn over several of them. Let me know if you want some of them and we can pick a time to meet. I can also turn over some of them to anyone that wants them at the next

davis_square meet-up.

Hi everyone - first time poster to this community, but relatively long-time lurker.

Anyway, thought this might be of interest - it's a t.v. news piece on Davis Square from Summer 2004.

Hey guys, what's the closest place to Davis Square that sells new DVDs? Best Buy or someplace like that, that is accessible withOUT a car? I can't find anything, which seems so silly...

Two young Boston Globe reporters visited Davis Square last month and made this 3 1/2 minute video, which is currently displayed on the Boston.com front page.

Local businesses featured in this video: Cibeline, Diesel Cafe, Magpie, Kickass Cupcakes, and the Somerville Theatre. (Compare with this TurnHere.com video from last year.)

Boston.com still isn't hip enough to accept blog comments, so you'll have to leave them here instead.

EDIT 3/21/08: The Boston.com video link has stopped working. Try this one instead.

This may seem like an odd question, but does anyone know of any local video rental places?

What I am looking for is one with an old/fantastic horror section. I am aware of Hollywood Express, but their collection is small and their rental fees are a little high for VHS. I used to go to Palmer Video on Broadway but it shutdown a few months ago. They had the most extensive horror section to date. I don't like going by Netflix because it just isn't the same. I'm willing to travel several towns away if anyone knows of a place or has suggestions. I'm interested in late 70's/80's/early 90's, not the new stuff. Thanks!!

Hi, I’m writing on behalf of a Davis Square community theatre company that may embark on a national grassroots benefit this fall. One of the criteria to join the national effort is to film our selected scenes (which will amount to about an hour’s worth of film time) and upload the digital content to the national website.

In this regard, I’m looking for someone who is willing to volunteer his/her videography services both for the taping and for the subsequent digital upload.

This would occur in mid-September 2007. Details are still hazy, but we can offer you free advertising in our playbill and (I believe) you will be able to see your name as a credit on the national website.

I can provide more detail via email (see my profile), but I was thinking the best person would be an amateur/novice videographer interested in honing one’s skills.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm getting married in June and my fiance and I would like to have a video of our wedding (some very important family members can't make it for health reasons and we would like to still be able to share this with them). I was wondering if anybody here has any recommendations for videographers, since I have absolutely no clue where to begin! I've looked on theknot.com, but my guess is that is just a small portion of the options.

Remember the pillow fight flashmob that happened in Davis Square back in May?

Someone made a video of it and posted it to YouTube. (I don't know if the rules of this community allow embedded video links, so I'm not posting it that way.)

I found out about the video from the Somerville Journal blog, which hardly anyone seems to know about or read.

TurnHere.com has a very professional-looking three-minute film about Davis Square. Check it out. The Magpie store is prominently featured, as well as the Burren, Redbones, Diva, and other familiar sights.

(I do have to correct one error, however. One of the people interviewed said that an Indian restaurant in Davis would have been "unheard-of ten years ago". In fact, a restaurant with the simple name 'India Restaurant' was here long before Davis became 'hip'. It was located where Joshua Tree is now.)

I'm probably the last one on my block to buy a DVD player. But now that I have it, I'm interested in hearing people's opinions of local video rental stores.

It looks like we have three choices: Hollywood Express on Elm Street, West Coast Video across the street, and Blockbuster in Porter Square.
My first impressions:

Hollywood Express -- largest selection, best chance of finding something obscure

Blockbuster - very liberal rental terms: a '2 day' rental is really 9 days, a 7-day is really 14 days. A lot more foreign and independent films than I would have expected, though probably not in the same league as Hollywood Express

West Coast Video -- why is this store still in business? I don't see any obvious reason to go here.

We're looking for new music to add to the music library at the Cambridge Community TV station. The music gets played in video productions with full credit. Its also played live on air in Cambridge on the electronic bullentin boards on channels 9, 10 and 22. CCTV also uses it as their hold music. This is a great way to get exposure for your band. We'll take whatever you got! To find out more info about the Bandwidth project or to submit a cd, go here: http://www.cctvcambridge.org/bandwidth (or you can write me and I'll tell you more). Also, check us out on myspace at www.myspace.com/bandwidth
