Look both ways
I saw a woman get hit by a car that refused to stop for people in the crosswalk on Wednesday night. The woman was talking on her cell phone (not paying attention to much else). I admit that I hate stopping for people in crosswalks in Boston, because once you let one person cross, 50 other people appear out of nowhere and you end up having to wait forever for those bastards to cross the street.
Someone got hit by a car trying to cross the street this morning at the exact same spot. They closed down the street today, so I can only imagine that they got messed up pretty bad this time, or the person that got hit this time was white.

What sort of idiot straps an old TV to a light pole?
Main Street at Mass. Ave. in Cambridge shut down, evacuated; police sent in a bomb robot, then used high-pressure water to destroy:
An old, gutted television set
An old, gutted 19-inch television set strapped to a light pole that was missing the front of an electrical panel. Make sure to read to the very end of that link for some comments from somebody who really knows what's important in life.

Crack on the Orange Line
Angela relays an account from her boyfriend about a recent experience at the Mass. Ave. stop on the Orange Line:
... He noticed the man had two lit cigarettes sitting on the bench. He immediately recognized that for one man to have two lit cigarettes just burning meant only one thing - he was preparing ashes for smoking crack. ... Even more astounding, as the man lit his pipe and smoked it, he opted to face the stairs instead of turning his back to the wall. It's obvious he didn’t care who watched him smoke his crack. ...
