Aastrojet runs into the mayor at the Portsmouth Street playground -

…I gave him a very quick over-view of the EMS problem in Boston. He told me he was unaware of any problems out in Allston and Brighton. He also was under the impression the ambulance assigned to the area was still at the police station.

If you didn’t make it to Harper’s Ferry last Saturday, Girls Guns and Glory won it all.

Johnny Arguedas has some good photos, for that matter so does Sooz.

The Shoegazer, lucky.

This bill was spotted almost immediately after entering the bar. Interesting side fact - about six years ago The Shoegazer found a crisp $50 bill lying on the ground right outside this bar. Perhaps O’Briens is part of a portal or Bermuda Triangle for lost money turning up.

KRS-One was struck by a bottle, breaking his hand, forcing postponement of his Allston date.

I’m personally particular to Rami’s over in Brookline but Hidden Boston digs the Reef Cafe.

The falafel sandwich is something special, with hearty falafel balls mixed with pickles, tomatoes, yellow peppers, and tahini sauce, all wrapped inside a fresh pita rollup. Reef Cafe’s falafel, by the way, is made with both fava beans and chickpeas (rather than just chickpeas), as is often the case with Lebanese-style falafel.

April 26th, by Parents and Community Build Group and Boston Shines -

Mayor Menino’s year-round neighborhood clean up and community service program, Boston Shines 365, provides the tools and materials to help volunteers successfully complete projects in every neighborhood in Boston.

Science Metropolis is dispassionately rational about their mouse problem.

Although our location in Allston’s “student ghetto” could be blamed for our mouse problem, Boston does have a reputation for its rodents, even scoring number 3 in the New York Times’ 2007 Rodent Risk Assessment. Numbers on the extent of the city’s infestation are difficult to find, although research by public health experts studying the relationship between asthma and pests have found high percentages of affected households.

Ryan from RSL on the closing of the Paradise Lounge.

If anyone has ever attended an over-packed summer show in the Paradise Lounge, they know how horribly bad the ventilation was in this joint. I went to a show there last summer where everybody lost five pounds of sweat.

To be honest, losing a live music spot of the size of the Paradise Lounge really isn’t the end of the world. We have those places and there will be more.

This Thursday at the WonderBar -
