Teens arrested for murder of a 13-year-old in 2007
Boston Police report arresting the teens for the fatal Jan. 12, 2007 shooting of Luis Gerena near the Jackson Square T stop.
Nurudeen Alabi, now 19, of Roxbury and Darrell Rodrigues, now 17, of Roxbury, were already in custody on other, unrelated charges, police say.
Police say the two shot Gerena on Horan Way shortly after he got off the Orange Line at Jackson Square. Gerena made it to Parker Street before collapsing. He died at Boston Medical Center.

The dog sketcher
Emily Gallardo walks around the South End and Jamaica Plain sketching dogs she sees:
I take my inspiration from the dogs in the my neighborhood -- any stroll in the dog parks looks like a Westminster Dog Show parade. I want to thank the dogs and their owners in Boston's South End and Jamaica Plain for their patience and forbearance.

The joints of JP
Mike Ball puts his liver on the line, so you don't have to, as he and a friend sample some of Jamaica Plain's bars that aren't named Doyle's. They started with the Drinking Fountain and continued on through Griffin's and J.J. Foley's Fireside, all within an easy stagger of the Forest Hills T stop.
None calls out or even whispers, "Enter, yuppies!" Of course, that's a major point, eh? From external, and as we found, internal, appearance, this are purposeful potable places. Drinkers welcome.
