Search on for missing Bruins fan from Quincy

Seen him? Boston Police report they're seeking the public's help in finding William Hurley, 24, who hasn't been seen or heard from since leaving Boston Garden after the Bruins game on Thursday:

The missing male left the Bruins game with two of his friends and was waiting in the area of 99 Nashua Street for his girlfriend to pick him up. Shortly before her arrival, they had a phone conversation and he informed her that his phone's battery was going low and he would wait for her. His girlfriend arrived but could not locate him. Officers were informed that the missing male failed to show up to work the following day at the Weston Country Club where he works as a greens keeper.

He's described as 5'8", 155 pounds, thin build with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearingwhite Nike sneakers, bluejeans, a green T-shirt and a red Northface jacket.

If you know where he is, call detectives at 617-343-4248, or the anonymous tip line at 1-800-494-TIPS (or by texting TIP to CRIME).

Yes, that would qualify as open and gross

Boston Police report that when a woman at Monday's Kiss concert at the Garden felt something warm on her leg, she turned to see a guy urinating on the back of her leg.

Chris Morris, 39, was arrested and charged with open and gross lewdness and disorderly conduct:

Officers noted the suspect appeared to be highly intoxicated given his slurred speech and the odor of alcohol emanating from his person.

Innocent, etc.

Garden returns to its roots, if only for a few hours

Garden

Matthew Cote noticed the sports arena over North Station was officially back to being just the Garden today, at least, until crews finished replacing the "TD BankNorth" with just "TD."

Golden line

Don Martelli takes some video of people lining up outside a TD BankNorth branch waiting for some of the handouts of 19,600 candy bars - five of which will contain "golden tickets" for a tour of the garden and the chance to win season tickets to every single Garden event in the upcoming season.

MBTA Transit Police report the line is causing no problems for people who just want to catch a train at North Station.

Is that a twister, Auntie Em?

Nah, not a real twister

It sure looks like a twister was sucking all the sneakers out of the New Balance building in Allston around 3:45 this afternoon, doesn't it? Meanwhile, over by North Station, Scott saw impending doom:

Garden's name gets shorter, thrilling hordes of Twitter users

Delaware North today announced it's changing the name of TD Banknorth Garden to just TD Garden.

TJ Hooker was unavailable for comment, as was Olive Banknorth Garden.

In a statement, the president of Delaware North was quoted as saying something no actual human being would ever actually utter:

"Our long term, multi-dimensional partnership with TD Banknorth has continued to be attractive to both parties," said John Wentzell, President of Delaware North Companies - Boston and TD Banknorth Garden.

Cape cop charged with pissing on Metallica fans

HoustonLiterally pissing on them, as in, whipping it out and spraying them, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, which is charging Joseph Houston of Brewster with two counts of assault and battery and one count of open lewdness for an incident at Boston Garden. According to the DA's office, Houston:

[A]llegedly exposed himself and urinated on a 17-year-old female and a 21-year-old male, both from Connecticut, who were attending a Jan. 18 Metallica concert at the TD Banknorth Garden.

A Brewster Police officer at the time of the incident, Houston was arrested by MBTA Transit Police for trespassing at North Station. That case was sparked by Houston's ejection from the concert and subsequent refusal to leave the area after repeated orders to do so by officers.

Instead of leaving, the apparently intoxicated Houston is said to have flashed his Brewster Police Department badge to one officer and referred to another as "Obama." He was escorted out, only to return once more in violation of the officers' orders; Transit Police took him into custody at that time.

Innocent, etc.
