Her favorite bakery

By adamg on Wed, 02/23/2005 - 7:23pm

Rogue Slayer Law Student works a few blocks from Lilly's, a Watertown bakery that burned to the ground last night:

I often met a friend from school there for breakfast of croissants and Earl Grey, and loved their sandwiches at lunchtime. Even when I was avoiding treats, I could just walk by at lunchtime and inhale the wondrous aromas wafting through the doors and windows, and feel treated nonetheless. ... Always lively, full of old and new friends, and that delicious combination of chocolate, fruits, breads, cakes and conversation. Here's hoping the Sidiropoulos family is able to rebuild or relocate. We'll all follow.

How else can Mitt bash Massachusetts?

Michael: Hey, South Carolina, You Can Have Him.

John: Under the "other skills" section of his resume, do you suppose Mitt Romney lists "brazen toady"?

Jay worries about the impact on the state's economy of its governor running around denigrating the place:

... [T]hat's when we should care. He touts Massachusetts to CEOs as a great place to do business and then mocks the state on a larger national stage?

College staff assistants

By adamg on Wed, 02/23/2005 - 1:07pm

Just curious here. Is there anybody who's ever worked as a staff assistant in a Boston-area college department who hasn't hated the job with the burning intensity of 10,000 suns?

Tears on his pillow

Karl has a close friend who is near death from breast cancer:

... I was lying there on my side and reminiscing about the fun we'd had the past few years. Before I knew it, my tears had created a fairly large wet spot on my pillow under my upper cheek and forehead. ...

In 1984, the Boston Landmarks Commission identified six areas in Hyde Square that were eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Historic Hyde Square is a group of residents who are organizing to pursue these historic designations.
