The jackhammering is getting on other people’s nerves but that’s just a pretext for validating my new business model.

There’s been somethings lately that have suck beyond the realm of normal Allston quirks. And I aint talking bout the mouse who ran over my foot at 1:30 am.

Periscope Depth distills the essence that is Redneck’s.

…who follow a business model that really should get more play:
1. Sell fried food; and
2. Stay open 30-45 minutes after the bars close.

Although they forgot point 3) charge 5x(!) more for fries than is remotely reasonable on the correct presumption that anyone there is desperate enough for sobering grease to not notice/care.

Whenever it stops storming and decides to act like summer again, Gareth says the Deep Ellum patio is finally open.

This Saturday in Ringer Park. For more information… And yes, the typo in our city name below is pretty amusing but JUDGE NOT because that’ll come around to bite you some day.

A great set from the Super 88, patterns, colors and repetition. From rpkrajweski.

ameadowlark turns one of the most critical fashion failures of our time and place into a hipster GPS.

From Sarah Gatzke, a brief documentary on Finale Dessert Company’s’s new pastry kitchen in Allston. Be forewarned: do NOT watch while hungry. Unfortunately, you still have to get thyself to Coolidge Corner or Harvard Square to actually buy something.

They don’t call it your moneymaker for nothing. Massive score at the Pill.

So I was shaking my booty on Friday hoping to avoid those flailing dancefloor boneheads who think The Pill is Thunderdome Jr, when I spied a small piece of green and white paper on the floor. Eureka! The Shoegazer’s dry streak is over, and just in time - The Shoegazer found himself freed of the shackles of full-time employment this very week.

Archival shot from Ringer Park in 1973. The urge to defile rock outcroppings with spray paint has been around for at least 35 years. Ok fine, somewhat longer than that.

Harry Mattison has some constructive hopes surrounding our Harvard overlords.

Harvard’s School of Public Health is expected to relocate to Allston at some point and there has been ongoing brainstorming about what type of partnerships might benefit both the HSPH and the local community. Many people at HSPH, specifically in its Department of Nutrition, are actively interested the connection between weight and health. (…) Even though A/B residents have one of the lowest obesity rates in Boston, our rate of 37% means that 25,000 people here are obese! Think of the potential for improved quality of life and reduced medical costs!

Somehow I don’t think this would work without a city-wide tax on beer and curly fries, but then again I’m a pessimist.
