Where have all of the old-fashioned town bands gone? Today, most of them seem to be dead. Years ago, almost every town had its own volunteer band; there were also fantastic professional bands touring the country (Gilmore, Sousa, Pryor, Clarke, etc.), and therefore, all kinds of music were made available to the public for free -- by town bands. Now, a player has to travel to join one, because there aren't any in his/her home town any more.

Call it Irish-gangster musical chairs. First some Irish-gangster movie is moved from Southie to Eastie because Southie is no longer gritty enough. Now Sam Baltrusis reports that another Irish-gangster movie is being moved from Charlestown to Somerville to avoid confusion with an Irish-gangster movie set in Charlestown and an Irish-gangster TV pilot set in Charlestown.

Spatch tours the Orpheum, takes photos:

... It's heartbreaking to see it in its current condition, all run-down and stuff, and I know that it's definitely renovatable if one had the money and time, but for now, it has the appearance of a grande dame who's seen much better days. A lot of people still love this house, however, and would do whatever they could to fix it up... if they could. ...

You'd probably have the same reaction as Donnie Wahlberg to the women who kept going up and down the Tobin - 36 times in all - to get a brief glimpse of him sitting in a car waiting to film a scene in the gritty "Bunker Hill" pilot:

The two women, Meghan and Michelle, also posted some photos and way more video, of course.
