Nice try, anyway: Dedham woman fails to convince court gas and electric service can't be stolen

Showing the colors in Dedham

In Charlestown, it was Bunker Hill Day, but down in Dedham, they threw a parade for Flag Day.

Fruits and veggies are patriotic, especially when they're throwing candy:

She's a grand old flag:

Rawr: The parking lot was suspiciously empty

Eternal IHOP

Lisa couldn't be more pleased that an IHOP now exists in Dedham - she had dinner there last night - because it reminds her so much of those long ago days of summer:

... In a couple of months, you'll all head off to college, and into your lives. There'll be heartbreak and disappointment and loss.

But right now, you've got a twenty in your wallet, a Belgian waffle in front of you, and your friends. The future is wide open, and there's four kinds of syrup.

Compare Lisa's Belgian-waffle dinner with what David had for dinner.

Dedham getting an IHOP

Workers are busy this week turning the failed Applebee's across from the Uno at the Dedham mall into, yes, an IHOP. No more trips way down to Walpole or way up to Brighton. They've already got "Help Wanted" banners fluttering from the sides of the place.

John Tobin not running for state senate

The West Roxbury/JP city councilor tells David Bernstein he's running for re-election, rather than going for Marian Walsh's seat or an at-large council seat.

Marian Walsh leaving

Dedham style Muzak

My wife returned from the Dedham Stop & Shop today with the giggles. Some worker there commandeered the speaker system to go all Irish on the customers. There were a couple of halting, then sincere, verses of Galway Bay. Then dead air was followed by the rest of the parody. Shoppers picked up their strawberries serenaded by:

On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland
And when she takes her bath on Saturday,
She rubs the Sunlight Soap around by Claddagh
Just to watch the suds go down by Galway Bay.

This augers well
