A concerned citizen critiques the unknown artist's recent oeuvre:
You can't be a tortured artist if you don't have talent. This person is tagging the whole neighborhood and it's really becoming a problem. Mostly because it's not good art.

State Police report a head-on crash shortly before 3 a.m. on the Jamaicaway at Perkins Street killed two, injured three, one critically, and left the road shut for three hours.
A 2007 BMW 530XI with three occupants struck a 2002 Toyota Camry with two occupants. Two of the passengers from the BMW, a 44 year old Everett woman and a 33 year old Revere woman, were pronounced dead at the scene. The two women did not have seat belts on and it was determined to be a factor in their deaths.
Police say their initial investigation is that the BMW crossed the center line markers. Its driver, Jennifer Guzman, 26, of Hyde Park, was taken to Beth Israel with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Camry, Cesar Viasus, 36, of Roslindale, will also likely survive, police say. His passenger, however, is in critical condition.

Meira Levinson of the Arborway explains the ice problem she and other parkway residents have.
MBTA officials told a City Council committee today they will commit resources this winter to shovel out bus stops in Boston - and the connections to the sidewalks behind them.
At a hearing called by City Councilor Matt O'Malley (West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain), a T official said the authority will have at least 72 people dedicated to keeping bus stops clear during and after storms - with some additional help from more than 200 subway-station workers. The T is not technically responsible for bus-stop clearing, but pitched in this past winter as storm after storm left stops inaccessible to riders.
Meanwhile, the state Department of Conservation and Recreation says it is considering snowplows that push to the left instead of the right for the populated parkways that pass through Boston, such as the Arborway, the Jamaicaway and the VFW Parkway.

Last Sunday, the Washington Post did a nice overview of the neighborhood in its travel (!) section, but the line about "JP, as hip Bostonians call it" cracks me up.
Also noteworthy: Tourists can expect trouble with our "inscrutable" subway fare machines (are the ones in DC that much better?) and while "JP" doesn't have any roller coasters, the Jamaicaway is a good substitute.
