I had been doing a weekly sticky post with events I pulled from the city calendar and a prompt saying that anyone could post any event in the comments. I got lazy though and stopped doing it. I've picked making the post back up, but I haven't populated it with calendar events.

I don't get it either. This is why I'm glad the city hasn't released the name. They'd just go harass that officer at their home. All initial information seems to be pointing to the young man posing a danger to himself and others. They're doing an investigation and the officer is on administrative lead pending the results. There's not much more that is productive to be done. I'm considering writing to the city council to say this.

I don't get it. From the description, it doesn't sound like the officers had any other reasonable options. Now, officers description may not be accurate, which is why an investigation is taking place. But what is releasing the name going to accomplish, except harassing those officers regardless of any results?

I scrolled past this earlier today and thought “oh, neat”. I had no idea where it was.

Then about an hour ago I walked down this exact trail.

I’ve tried many chai lattes around and think that Yafa Bakery & Cafe (https://maps.app.goo.gl/zAJ2TQJeeNzAUdFc9?g_st=ic) on Somerville Ave has the best, most flavorful chai — most similar to what you’d get in India! (And they have lots of Middle Eastern treats to accompany your chai).

Am curious to hear other recommendations!!

There is a construction project near Alewife that is pile driving for the next few months, maybe they were doing some off hours. I read somewhere else that they are behind schedule.
