Why glue a restaurant shut?
Why would anyone do this?
From this week’s police log:
Brighton Police responded on May 1 to 1029 Commonwealth Ave., Victoria’s Seafood Restaurant, because the owner discovered glue jammed in the keyhole, preventing access to the restaurant. Police also found glue in the keyhole next door at 1027 Commonwealth Ave.

How ironic
Last night, I was downtown to cover the city council’s hearing on towing. After three hours of listening to councilors, residents and officials from the DPW and BTD, I walked back to the parking garage at 9 p.m. and, wouldn’t you know it, my car wouldn’t start. In the end, I needed, of all things, [...]

Campaign freebies
At the Allston Brighton parade yesterday, a member of Rosie Hanlon’s campaign handed me a big white knot. Two seconds later, I was almost belted in the face with another one. What were these knots being tossed to the crowd? Well, I untied mine to find out.
It seems that Rosie Hanlon and Rosie the Riveter [...]
