As a 24 year old white boy going for his MBA at Northeastern, I was often yelled at by cops just for walking in the neighborhood after 11PM. Back then, I believe it was a strip bar. My first time in there one of the girls bought me a beer and sat herself down to talk. Within 5 min, she was telling me how her father was recently murdered and they found his body parts in a Hope Chest. I was too afraid to ask why it was called a Hope Chest if it was used to store body parts. I wasn't too bright back then. Nice story; glad to see its still around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980413763200348630.post-71908624482338958342013-06-04T10:18:05.613-04:002013-06-04T10:18:05.613-04:00way to go Cambridge!

Wikipedia says that "gartersnakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous" and they'll eat whatever they can overpower. I'm guessing these snakes are feeding off of the surplus of snails and slugs I've got in the garden. I hope they are able to overpower mice!Iseuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984554292202850865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980413763200348630.post-87638479449017950772012-10-04T12:22:33.681-04:002012-10-04T12:22:33.681-04:00That's great!

I'll be posting my Melnea Cass apple butter recipe on Eatwithana.com by tomorrow if you're interested. I wouldn't worry too much about the construction materials as its filtered by a tree, and they move and change what is there quite a lot. It's way better then any pesticide, which most apples are sprayed with even at local orchards.Eatwithanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322775459366514554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980413763200348630.post-43503325700817737672012-08-18T08:51:54.957-04:002012-08-18T08:51:54.957-04:00If I left anything out, let me know!

All the major issues you mention manifest in how the area is cared for - by both the city and its residents. All the major issues you mention are reflected, I think, in the details of the neighborhood - details like street lights.
