Fenway? Colin the Bold reports parking meters all around the neighborhood are already plastered with "No Parking Sun - Mon" signs. Huh? Oh, right, Boylston Street, the preferred rioting grounds of students everywhere.

But lest one think the BPD is discriminating against Northeastern and BU students, Police Commissioner Ed Davis warns he will brook no nonsense from anybody Sunday night:

Davis said come Sunday night, police will be on every corner near college areas.

That's a lot of corners, from Brighton to downtown.

Prediction: By the year 2030, all of Allston/Brighton, Fenway, Roxbury and the South End will be college campuses

Over in Allston/Brighton, Harvard, BU and now BC are busy carving up the neighborhood. Meanwhile, over in Roxbury, Northeastern and residents are towning and gowning like nobody's business: Chris Lovett reports on a hearing on how the Boston Redevelopment Authority let Northeastern take over a subsidized-housing project on the South End/Roxbury line. While the university says it thinks it can let it remain as is until 2023, nobody seems convinced:

Said (Councilor Sam) Yoon, "I want residents to go home tonight feeling they're going to be OK, for at least three months."
