Free Mr. Butch
By adamg - 4/22/06 - 8:10 amI'm wicked late with the news, but seems Mr. Butch was arrested last month (after police watched him help a woman across the street, then take a sip from an open container of beer), then sent to Bridgewater, from which he might be released on the 25th.

The Mr. Butch interviews

... Dude, you know I never want to bother a brother of the post office, but do you have a spare quarter so I can get some beverage. I have a website? Cool. No change, no problem, I will try somebody else. ...
Mr. Butch
By adamg - 8/17/05 - 10:33 amBack in the day, Mr. Butch used to hold court as Mayor of Kenmore Square. Then we moved to the boonies (well, Roslindale) and lost track of him. And, of course, the square went yupscale; just wouldn't do to have him scaring off the Euroguests at the new hotel. Good to see he's still around, albeit in Allston.
