Will Roseliep reports spotting two coyotes at Walter and Bussey streets by the Arboretum Friday night.
They were most definitely snacking on something - maybe a housepet, maybe some Slim Jims from a nearby c-store.
The Globe's resident crank would rather just kill them, no doubt with his bare hands (no, actually, he wants to blast them with a shotgun), which mystified Roseliep:
These guys looked so chilled, and weren't disturbed by my high beams ...why kill shoot them all when they obviously just want to live a quiet life amongst Roslindale/Newton/W. Roxbury residents?
Music where you least expect it in JP
By adamg - 8/24/11 - 1:30 pmAugust Noise is a series of pop-up music performances in JP - you can find out in advance when participants will perform (like, say, tomorrow), but not necessarily where - unless you sign up for alerts. Here, Kayleigh Miller and Lauren Nelson played violas at the Arboretum on Monday (part 2 and part 3).

Tree-devouring beetles discovered across street from Arnold Arboretum
By Kaz - 7/6/10 - 9:47 amMap shows the 1.5-mile radius around Faulkner Hospital in which crews will check for beetle infestation - and area in which residents, businesses now banned from removing wood to other locations.
Photo by Jenn Forman Orth.State officials are convening a press conference at 11 AM today to discuss the discovery of Asian Longhorn Beetles at the Faulkner Hospital grounds, just mere steps from the Arnold Arboretum.
Six trees showed signs of the telltale beetle bored holes in their trunks and USDA officials confirmed the sightings this weekend. It's unknown what measures are going to need to be taken, but due to the proximity, I worry for the Arboretum.
