You might think somebody would steal something a bit less obvious than a large-screen LCD TV
By adamg - 2/3/10 - 5:15 pm
So this guy walks into the BJs in Dedham on Jan. 30 and walks out with an LCD TV - managing to escape the clutches of a pursuing detail cop. Then he returns the next day and does it again.
But he's a crafty fellow: The first day, he got away in white Camry. The next day, he jumped into a waiting green Camry.
Wonder if he's pals with this guy, who pulled the same stunt on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at the Target in Woburn.

Why do people go to P.F. Chang's?
By adamg - 1/17/10 - 8:23 pmWe tried the new P.F. Chang's in Legacy Place in Dedham today and are left with a single question: Why?
Why, in a big city like Boston, with plenty of actual Chinese restaurants, would anybody go there?
Rush job for Marian Walsh's senate seat
By adamg - 12/21/09 - 5:38 pm
West Roxbury state Rep. Mike Rush plans to run for Marian Walsh's Senate seat next year even if she decides to seek re-election, State House News Service reports.
Why? Rush thinks she's running on fumes; pointing to her acceptance, then rejection of a good paying job with the Patrick administration earlier this year. There was also her rumored, then never-happened judicial appointment last year, which led to a secret meeting between handlers for Rush and sometimes Westie rival, City Councilor John Tobin, over who would run for her seat.
In recent years, Rush and Walsh have not exactly gotten along. He's represented the 10th Suffolk District since 2002.
