Dedham to get bowled over

Boston Restaurant Talk reports that Kings, the Back Bay bowling/eating place, is opening a branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.

I'm thinking Ron's in Hyde Park is not too worried.

West Virginia man charged with trying to abscond with troubled Southie teen

Boston Police report they also freed a Pennsylvania girl who begged for help to escape the guy.

Police say they were alerted by a call from police in Pennsylvania on Saturday that the guy was on his way to a specific South Boston address. When officers arrived, they found a mother and her 16-year-old daughter:

The young girl admitted to meeting a twenty-year-old male from West Virginia over the internet. She informed officers that he was traveling to Boston to "take her away." The young girl went on to state that she has been recently experiencing stress at home and wanted to get away.

Not long after, police got a call from another South Boston resident about "a distraught young girl requesting help:"

The caller informed officers that she observed a "confused and out of it" young girl walking down her street. The caller was concerned for her well being and asked her if she was alright. The young girl replied, "I need to get away from him and go home to Pennsylvania." Officers learned this girl traveled with the suspect from Pennsylvania to pick up the young girl from South Boston.

Not long after, police say, they found Bryan Confere, 20, of Diamond, WV, whom they arrested on charges of reckless endangerment of a child and enticing a child.

Innocent, etc.

Horse on bricks

Neigh!

No doubt there's some specific reason a guy in colonial garb is riding a horse around City Hall Plaza as I type this, but I like to think it's just an everyday occurrence; maybe he commuted up from JP or something and is just circling around looking for a space at a hitching post to tie the horse to.
