The Jamaica Plain Gazette reports:

Shots exchanged across New Washington Street between one person at Forest Hills Station and three people in the Southwest Corridor Park at approximately 7:50 p.m. on Jan. 17 resulted in no injuries or fatalities, according to MBTA officials. ...

Shooting in September.

Eeka figured she'll use the MBTA trip planner to find the best way to get from Forest Hills station to Beech Street in Roslindale. She discovered a slight problem - the planner thought she wants to get to Beech Street from Forest Hills in Queens. And apparently that line isn't finished yet (what would they call it? The Orange G? The 34 F?).

In the meantime, as I'm sure eeka found out (or already knew), the best way to get from the real Forest Hills to Beech Street is to hop on any of the roughly 3,000 bus routes that go down Washington Street toward Dedham (and even Walpole) and then get off here (just look for the Pleasant Cafe on the right, then yell "Bus driver, stop this bus!").

Ed. skeptical note: I just tried recreating eeka's proposed itinerary, i.e., "forest hills" to start and "washington st. and beech st., roslindale" as my destination. MBTA.com replied "there are no routes within 1 mile" of Forest Hills and suggested I first get myself to Providence (148.99 miles away) or Union Station in Worcester (151.95 miles away). Guess it's a good thing I can walk to Washington and Beech from my house.

Tom Nealon reports the street outside his Rozzie Square store is under attack by starlings:

Every afternoon they descend on Washington Street, chattering noisily, eating locust seeds (or whatever they are - the worst choice for a sidewalk tree imaginable; they bloom for three days then litter the area with tiny yellow flowers only to months later grow sticky seed pods that then drop everywhere and attract the Starlings), and befouling the sidewalk and any cars in the vicinity with their strange red/brown droppings. ...

Heading south on Washington Street just before the West Roxbury Parkway this morning, I heard the squeal of a vehicle coming to a very sudden stop on wet pavement. I looked over at the other side and saw: One car, stopped because the driver was trying to make a left turn, with several other stopped vehicles behind it - at the end of which was an SUV with a guy on a cell phone, the one who had just come to a sudden stop. Apparently, he managed to look up from his fascinating phone discussion to realize, whoa, there were several stopped cars in front of him and he better do something. Naturally, he did what any proper Masshole would: After he squealed to a stop, he leaned on his horn.
