Quite the beefy brawl in Brighton over whether a bull should grace the neighborhood's 200th-anniversary seal, Brighton having started out as butcher to the world (you can ponder its history over a steak at the Stockyard on North Market Street). On Pasquinade, Amy plays peacemaker, suggesting some non-bovine alternatives, including:

... Why not put a keg in a plastic tub on the logo? Perhaps a crumpled can of PBR? A girl in purple eyeshadow and too-tall heels, passed out on a couch? A red Solo cup? You could also reference Allston-Brighton's slow-ass T line and show a B-line car, stopped at a red light, fists of passengers popping out of the windows. ...

Brighton already has a seal, just not one specifically for its 200th anniversary:

Spencer couldn't move out of Brighton fast enough:

... It is a mystery to me how a place like Boston can have so many neighborhoods with a ton of young people where the only businesses are terrible pizza places, rental agencies, and dry cleaners. A good portion of Boston is like living in Woburn, except you pay more. ...

David worries what will happen in Brighton in Tuesday's special election:

There's a real risk that the "progressive" vote in next Tuesday's special election to fill Brian Golden's seat in the 18th Suffolk district will be split between two candidates, Tim Schofield and Michael Moran. And the result, if that happens, could be disastrous, as it could mean victory for ex-Golden aide Greg Glennon. Golden was a true DINO who campaigned for President Bush and now works for the Romney administration, and Glennon can be expected to carry on Golden's distinctly non-progressive ways if he wins. ...
