Missing: Stuffed pink leopard
By adamg - 1/27/12 - 7:21 am
A local parent is frantically searching for his daughter's Lisa Leopard, stolen out of the family mini-van last night at the Rite-Aid near Davis Square:
She has had her since she was 3 years old. This is the go-to comfort toy. No, this is her best friend. This is the thing she brought to EVERY SINGLE "show and tell" day at school for a year.
This is her Hobbes. In fact, when I introduced her to Calvin and Hobbes last year, it was as if she had written the comics in a previous life.
So as you can imagine, I have spent the last several hours in the rain inspecting every square inch within a five block radius of the crime scene. I have been trying to get into the heads of whatever stoner kids found an unlocked door, grabbed the first thing they saw, and looked inside, and realized that there was nothing worth stealing. I have gone into every trash can and made friends with the T station workers. I even chatted up a few of the downtrodden folks at the bottle redemption center.

KFC/Taco Bell closing everywhere, or just near me?
By Ron Newman - 12/3/11 - 9:14 amOver the last couple months, the two KFC/Taco Bell locations in Cambridge and Somerville have closed -- first on Hampshire Street near Inman Square, and now on Broadway in East Somerville. (A third KFC/Taco Bell in North Cambridge closed in 2007.)
I haven't eaten at one of these in years, but are they closing down all over greater Boston, or just around here? I would ask KFC's online Store Locator, except that it still lists the closed Cambridge and Somerville locations as being open.

He originated the role of K’Tharr in Unreliable Narrator’s 2009 comedy Paranormal, and is pleased to bring it to the Somerville Theatre screen.
