Some of A-B’s old-timers win every week, and we congratulate them heartily. But we know some newer A-B residents are in a good position to take [...]
Where am I the safest?
Recent attacks in the Medford/Somerville area have gotten me thinking about my own safety.
I often get home (Brookline) from work (Somerville) pretty late at night; that’s just the nature of journalism. I’m not exactly sure how far my parking space is from my house, but I know it takes me more than five minutes to [...]

We just posted photos from the marathon along with a story. Take a look at some of the brave souls who made their way through Cleveland Circle today.
Looking more like a traditional marathon day
The rain has stopped and the wind has died down and the fans have emerged from their homes and hotel rooms and are lining the streets of A-B. The runners are coming through thick and fast, so if you’re still cooped up in your house, get out and join the other fans and cheer on [...]
