Ari Herzog reminds us why it's a good thing we're usually asleep at 2:30 a.m. instead of trying to get something to eat at the Apollo restaurant in Chinatown:

... About TWO HOURS AFTER entering the place, and telling the kitchen to stop the teriyaki dish, we want to leave. We can't. We have a bill for $32. That was after taking the teriyaki dish off the bill. Why should we pay for food that arrived OVER AN HOUR LATE due to waiter forgetfulness and then bringing out the wrong teriyaki dish? Back and forth with the manager, yelling match ensues, we refuse to pay the bill but they won't let us out without paying.

Did I mention the large-framed bouncer at the door? ...

Seems the Cambridge City Council recently debated nuclear disarmament but tabled a proposed ballot question on the issue after the city manager said a referendum as part of the December senate election would cost about $35,000.

Hurry, or we'll fall behind!

Photos from today's Roslindale Day parade (if you were there and posted photos, add the link in a comment).

Good form:

Cinderella knows how to dress for a parade - with sneakers under her gown:

What would a Boston parade be without bagpipers and marching bands?

Junior-miss belly dancers (no, really):

Human museum wall:

See, Kevin James didn't kill all the giraffes at the zoo:

Without doubt, the most maudlin part of the whole parade was the Gormley hearse (followed closely by the Dapper O'Neil memorial limo, accompanied by an old white guy who handed out O'Neil-for-council stickers to all the old white folks along the route):

That's some car:

Remember kids: Always eat your corn!

This is the end, my friends:

Look what's hanging from the front of one of Rozzie's gazillion nondescript Chinese take-out places (on Belgrade Avenue near Walworth):

So could be cool, although that's what I said when Roslindale's only Vietnamese take-out place opened at that location, too.

Just yesterday:
Roslindale to get jazz cafe.
