The Heights reports plans are in the works to monitor noise from Modstock this spring, to prevent more problems with neighbors.

The Heights itself opines neighboring residents shouldn't let their feelings about "university expansion, the passage of the Master Plan, the possibility of residence halls on the Brighton Campus, the degradation of the neighborhood brought on by absentee landlords and the havoc students are known to wreak in the community" color their judgment about parties on campus.

Another Green Line fail?

According to the latest WBZ Traffic on the 3s report, the T is apparently bussing between Blanford and Packards Corner on the B line.

Nothing on the T web page yet, although they do mention an earlier failed streetcar on the C line at St. Marys.

Police: BC student picked the wrong car to bend the windshield wipers back on

Boston Police report that around 1:15 this morning, the dude decided it would be interesting to walk up to an occupied car at 1950 Beacon St. and bend back the moving windshield wipers. Unfortunately for him, police say, the car was occupied by two plainclothes Boston police officers:

Officers quickly exited their cruiser, approached the suspect and displayed their badges while identifying themselves as police officers. While officers were in the process of identifying themselves, the suspect became less than polite and proceeded to berate and belittle the officers.

Charged with being a disorderly person.

Innocent, etc.

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton catches up with the story of a BC lad who, on being told at 4 a.m. to end a loud party on Comm. Ave. allegedly told police he "knew the law" and that they had no right to be there. They were apparently so intrigued by his theory that they invited him to continue the discussion on a ride down to District 14.

Hello out there in UniversalHub land. I have determined that what the internet lacks most of all is a personal blog about some schlub's experiences in and around [insert major city here]. I have decided to rectify that problem my moving my ramblings over here.

I will be blogging about Boston politics, the T, local music, dining, bars, sports, and life from the perspective of a 21-year-old Revere native now living in an apartment in Chestnut Hill, where I will be a senior this fall at Boston College.

BC student has all his electronic stuff seized by campus police

A Boston College student had all his computers (and iPod and cellphone) seized by campus police investigating the sending of a derogatory e-mail to a college newsgroup. Some of the suspicious facts used to justify the seizure -- the fact that he was seen using lots of different notebook computers (apparently he claims he fixes computer problems for other students) and his use of a non-standard operating system that used a suspicious-looking command line and typed-in commands (i.e. Linux).
