Wicked Local Needham reports the owners of two restaurants named Pomodoro in the North End and Brookline are stewing over a Needham restaurant's attempt to paste the same name - which means "tomato" in Italian - on its storefront: The former's lawyer wants the latter to can it and threatens to dice them up, in a saucy letter to both the owners and Needham officials. The owners of the Needham restaurant refuse to be crushed, say there's no heirloom status for "Tomato" as a name.

Of course, all this leaves West Roxbury residents wondering if Pomodoro's Italian Kitchen can catch up.

Wicked Local Brookline has the details.

More details later today, the Globe reports.

Wicked Local Brookline reports on the early morning attack.

I will be blogging about Boston politics, the T, local music, dining, bars, sports, and life from the perspective of a 21-year-old Revere native now living in an apartment in Chestnut Hill, where I will be a senior this fall at Boston College.

Dave tweets he was on that trolley - and that the T kept the passengers locked up in it for 30 minutes before it finally crawled into Brookline Hills and people were let out (to wait for the shuttle buses the T eventually started running in place of trolleys.

So how about that giant cube now rising on Harvard Street?

... The cube itself is a monolithic presence, kind of like a big stereo speaker in a room of antique furniture, as we look across the street to the fine historic red brick buildings, with their inviting doors and windows, fine detailing and timeless simplicity. It would have been entirely possible to design a modern structure that nonetheless fit in this setting. Had it had some elements remotely in common with the structures in the vicinity, namely the original church, the house on Holden, or the brick buildings on Harvard, be it materials, height, massing, roof height and angle, the rhythm of windows, shape, form, etc. But these structures have none of these. ...

The T is busing commuters from Coolidge Corner to Cleveland Circle on the C line because a tree fell on the trolley tracks at Fairbanks Street.

16WadeSt notices some odd goings-on at the old Circle Cinema in Cleveland Circle. Compare to the plea for help at the old Filene's in Downtown Crossing.
