In Boston, with 100 percent of precincts reporting still unofficial results, Galluccio has 814 votes, Flaherty has 723, Nowicki has 405 and Ross has 109.
Unofficial Cambridge results (with 82 percent of precincts reporting) are: 918 for Galluccio, 578 for Flaherty, 313 for Ross and 23 for Nowicki.

Flaherty concedes

No to liquor licenses no surprise

Wow, it must be pretty hard to stand up in front of A-B neighbors and request new liquor licenses right around the same time that students are back and parties are really starting up again.
But that’s what two local establishments did at last week’s BAIA meeting, and, no surprise, neighbors opposed them. Read more.

Vote!

Today marks the primary to determine a Democrat to take over Jarrett Barrios’ state senate seat. Because there are no Republican or Independent candidates, whoever wins today will likely win the special election on Oct. 9. If you’re registered in Ward 21, precincts 4, 6, or 7 or Ward 22, precincts 1, 2 or 5, get [...]

Brazilian festival

Party weekend probably

Labor day weekend was pretty low key as far as out-of-control parties are concerned — guess everyone was busy w. moving in. But police are thinking this will be the weekend when partyers are out in full force — and they’ll be there ready to arrest them if necessary.

Less partying, Moore music

While it’s not in Allston-Brighton, this is still a cool event for the student population. The Museum of Fine Arts’ annual College Night is Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m.
You can get into the MFA for free with most college IDs (I still have mine for this reason), but on College Night they have a [...]

Mmmm… sushi and gentrification

Gentrification has moved into Cleveland Circle. A restaurant serving “Fine Japanese cuisine” and sushi is moving into the space that used to be a so-so Chinese restaurant — next to the always- hopping BC hangout Roggie’s — on Chestnut Hill Avenue. A peek inside reveals a really nice, posh place.
