The MBTA reports a plainclothes transit cop arrested two teenagers on charges they etched something on the window of a 32 bus in Hyde Park this afternoon.

The Boston Licensing Board holds a hearing on Wednesday, July 29 to decide whether to let Mandarin House, 633 Hyde Park Ave. stay open until 1 a.m., Monday through Saturday (currently, it closes at 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday).

Has anybody ever tried it? I have to admit we don't tend to stray from Golden House on Washington Street.

Whether it's a truckscape as painted by a kid with crayons or something more monochromatic, no matter how many times you walk along Hyde Park Avenue between the Shaw's and Readville station, you're always going to see something new, if you look closely enough.

Boston Restaurant Talk reports that C.F. Donovan's on Hyde Park Avenue is finally opening - next week.

But as Katken shows, he's not doing so well.

Teen arrested; driver of green Civic or Honda black Acura Integra also sought.

She could lose a leg (dear Channel 4: Hyde Park Avenue isn't just in Hyde Park; you make that mistake every single time).

Boston Police report.

Every few months, police crack down on Civic-driving drag racers who show up from across the state on either Hyde Park Avenue or Washington Street. Poor woman.

Channel 4 reports police are looking for four guys who walked into the Cleary Square Papa Gino's just after 11 p.m. on Saturday and held the place up - right around the corner from the Hyde Park police station. All wore white ski masks; two carried sawed-off shotguns:

Store employees, who were all in their teens, and a manager, were ordered to lay face down on the ground, police said. Workers told police one of the employees was pistol whipped

A contractor for the state (I assume) has been busy in recent months dredging and re-lining the Mother Brook near where it connects with the Neponset. In the process, the company's cleared away a lot of brush and brambles and trees (oh my), exposing such things as the side of the old Morrell Builders Supply Co. building on Hyde Park Avenue (now the PMDI building). At least at Hyde Park Avenue, the work makes the brook seem a lot wider (you can also see they haven't yet taken out the three pipes that were diverting the brook for awhile):

One of these days, I'll make it into the Blessing of God market on Hyde Park Avenue, simply because I love the name - if they're actually open when I head down that way.
