Bars requiering minimum purchase, forcing people to drink more?
By mmurph - 10/5/08 - 10:53 amThe other at America's oldest Tavern, the Bell in Hand I noticed signs all around the bar notifying patrons of a $25 minimum for credit card purchases. After ordering two beers ($10) I realized I was short on cash and handed my plastic over to the bartender. She shook her head and pointed to the sign. Explaining I didn't have any cash to pay I again offered her the card and said I'd talk to the manager if she was really going to enforce this ridiculous policy.
Something doesn't seem right about this.
YOUR'E KIDDING??? MORE BPS SCHOOL CLOSINGS....
By dushiteacher - 10/1/08 - 7:03 pmIt has come to me from a reliable source that 4 yes 4 more Boston Public Schools will be closing. The announcement was supposed to be on the News at 6pm tonite. This is unbelievable. Rather that keeping these schools OPEN it has been decided to close them. If money is the issue ...Why don't we save some and eliminate the bus situation? Kids as young as 4 years old on a bus travelling across the city without any supervision.

Muggers Take Note
By Barbara Diamond - 3/6/08 - 1:10 pmThe MBTA is nearly doubling the number of cash machines within its subway stations - and the cash-strapped transit agency will pick up an extra $226,400 a year in the process.
The T’s board of directors yesterday OK’d going ahead with leases with Bank of America, TD Banknorth and Select A Branch Inc., to put a total of 19 ATMs in stations, up from 10 that were previously provided by Citizens Bank under a prior contract.
Bank of America won with a $30,000 bid the right to place just one ATM in the busy Park Street station.
