Does anyone know where around here I can buy a single box of matzah? (I know, it's kinda last-minute.)

In past years I've been able to find it at my usual grocery store, the Star Market at Porter Square, but when I went this year they only had huge 5-pound multi-box packages that are too big for me to carry home (and I definitely won't eat that much matzah in a week!) or the kind of matzah that isn't kosher for Passover. I thought for sure the Butcherie in Brookline would have it, but they were out of everything except the $22/box stuff. Is there anywhere I can still buy a plain single box, or am I out of luck?

I'm going to a friend's Seder, and they'll have matzah for the Seder, so I don't need it for tonight -- it would just be nice to have matzah for the week, if I can still get some. If it's too late to get matzah for this year, I'd still appreciate knowing likely places for future reference. Thanks!

ETA: I have found matzah! Thanks to everyone who commented.

Tisha b’Av commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples. In keeping with the theme of mourning losses the Jewish people have suffered, at the Havurah we read by candlelight or flashlight, don't greet each other before or after the service, and those who are able to sit on the floor. In addition to chanting Eicha (Lamentations) we sing mournful songs. Although sad, it can be a powerful experience and we hope you'll join us.

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?

This week's print edition of The Somerville News Weekly, a local alleged newspaper, has Happy Easter & Happy Passover as its main above-the-fold headline. Nobody there bothered to learn that Passover starts a month later than Easter this year, on the evening of April 22.

The wittiest spiel for blocks around, homemade hamantashen, groggers, the whole Magilla - Havurat Shalom's Purim party is great fun and you are warmly invited to join us! We're providing a pizza and salad dinner. And of course, there'll be spiel between reading chapters of the Book of Esther. Costumes encouraged, but not required.

Havurat Shalom is a small, lay-led, egalitarian Jewish community. We include folks with a wide range of Jewish backgrounds and practices.

NB: we regret that due to a flood, the wheelchair ramp and 1st floor bathroom will not be in service during Purim. There is a bathroom on the 2nd floor.

I was driving past Trum field, and I _think_ that I saw a sign advertizing a gyros and loukamades fundraiser on May 3rd at the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Greek Church in Somerville (the one that has the great food festival in September). However, I couldn't really check the details cause I was driving, and haven't been able to find internet confirmation of this event. Does anyone know if I saw that right? And if so, hours? If no one happens to know off hand, I'll make a trip back past Trum field some time to check the banner.
Thanks!
