Coincidence, or something more?

By adamg on Wed, 02/02/2005 - 10:33pm

Now living in Israel, Moshe reports he was leaving a cemetery ceremony in Beit Shemesh when he ran into the former rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel in Malden - there for the first-year remembrance of the death of a key congregation member. Moshe joins in the service, then notices a tombstone for Rabbi Oskar Bookspan - who was his son's introduction to synagogue life in Brookline:

... There were 2 empty seats in the front left of the synagogue. 2 empty seats next to an old man, Rabbi Oscar Bookspan. We took those seats and for the next 4 years, my son was able to enjoy the character of this sweet, kind and gentle old man. He passed away in 2000 and I remember how our son cried when hearing the news. His funeral was held in Israel and we never knew where he was buried. Never knew until today. ...

Krist Almighty

Marc is happy that the convenience store replacing the old White Hen Pantry at 2245 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge will be open 24 hours. He is not so happy that the replacement is a Bread & Butter "Konvenience" store:

Ugh. "Konvenience." Good lord.

Neal wonders:

Maybe it's going to be run by Krusty the Clown.

And LaDivina ponders:

Will they also sell Krispy Kremes?

Anybody remember when Matt Siegel was good?

By adamg on Wed, 02/02/2005 - 4:53pm

Me neither. Fondofelves finds herself particularly irritated at Matty this morning:

Seems Matty in the Morning (who was funny when he was Charles' sidekick) can't remember who Joe Jackson is. I mean, come ON! It's not like he's some young guy who didn't live thru the '80s. ... I miss Charles.

Note: Charles has a Weblog!

Firefighter on a ladder

By adamg on Wed, 02/02/2005 - 1:06pm

Pmaiorana photographs a firefighter on a ladder at his Mass. Ave. apartment building:

... The fire truck showed up, and a fireman scaled the ladder to my balcony for no discernable reason. The was no alarm....no smoke...no fire. Just a huge guy on my balcony with an axe.

Run, Mitt, run!

Good thing the Mittster's spreading PAC money around in other states, because he might not have a job locally in a couple of years, Jay says:

... I don't think his advisers have an inkling how poorly his shallow checklist governance style is playing on the streets here.

Carol and Steve drink lots of wine

By adamg on Tue, 02/01/2005 - 5:33pm

On Sunday, the Carol and Steve show paid a visit to the Boston Wine Expo, in a video that will leave your head spinning (but maybe that was just the camera angles at the end).

This is Neilllll Chayet, llllloooking at that ass

By adamg on Tue, 02/01/2005 - 5:32pm

Well, probably not. Candlemaker is kind of doubtful that Chayet will actually report on the Back that Ass Up case, in which two rappers battled over who has the right to the phrase "Back That Ass Up". So you'll just have to imagine him drawwwwing the phrase out.

Eat the city

By adamg on Mon, 01/31/2005 - 10:38pm

Amy photographs an Eat the City bunny on a map at the Forest Hills T stop and wonders what the deal is:

I've spotted this hungry bunny in a few places around Boston. I don't know what "eat the city" means, really, but it's a satisfying phrase no matter what your mood. ...

No, his name isn't Doogie

Mark goes out for a drink:

"Yeah ok so what are you really?" Her friend drew in closer to me, to hear me capitulate and confess the truth.

"Excuse me?" I laughed.

"You're way too young to be a doctor at MGH, wasn't that just a line? It's ok we like talking to you, you can tell us the truth now!" They stared at me. ...
