Today was the annual Towing of the Cars from the parking spaces along the reservoir, David Harris reports:

The Tab reports an 87-year-old man was mugged on Wallingford Road in Brighton on the evening of April 9:

Over the new five-students-and-you're-out-law:

In their suit, the landlords admit to renting out homes or units to anywhere from five to eight students at a time. But they point out that the student renters have more square feet of living space than is required under state health codes.

Note: The Herald doesn't say where that one student goes to school, but for what it's worth, Facebook says she's an Eagle.

Mags is a chef who takes the B line home from work:

... Waiting for the T to arrive, I silently pray that by some miracle it won't be crowded and that I'll get to sit down instead of having to smoosh up against pretty people dressed for a night on the town. Alas, I never get my wish. Not only am I dead tired and my feet hurt, but I feel bad for you, my fellow riders, because I am aware of the odor that is seeping out of my clothes and into the tiny, hot space that we are sharing.

So please, if you see a girl in checkered pants on your way home one night, please know that she's sorry for stinkin' up the place and that when she's not at work, she's one of the best smelling people in the city. :) ...

Police are looking for three or four black males, 16-20, usually clad in dark or black clothing, wanted for mugging senior citizens along Comm. Ave. between Washington Street and Chestnut Hill Avenue.

The people of Brighton, MA have lived long enough with this driver's eye-soar that is NO TURN ON RED in front of the Police Department at the corner of Washington St. and Cambridge St. When driving down Washington St. from Comm. Avenue, you have two choices; Left to Brighton Center and Right toward Storrow Drive and the Pike. Please, take down the useless sign, which drivers don't pay attention to anyway and please put the empty Police Cruiser you have parked out front in the parking lot. You aren't fooling anyone. We all know that there is nobody in the car. You've been had.
