Boston Police report issuing summons to the owner of Char So Bees Smoke Shop, 170 Tremont St., and three other people after undercover officers made a series of drug-paraphernalia buys in the store.
On serving the summons, officers seized a variety of scales and grinders and "stash" cans designed to look like cans of Dr Pepper and Orange Crush soda and Ajax cleanser. Also seized: A variety of glass pipes in general and one crack pipe in particular, police say.
Look what Jose Rios spotted turning onto Cambridge Street from Court today. No word if it was being pursued by Libyans. Hmm, you think MakerBot could print us up a flux capacitor?
Not at the same time, at least. The most recent: Westbound at Park Street.

An irate citizen complains about the interior of City Hall these days:
Cultural oppression all over Boston City Hall lobby. Why do I have to constantly be reminded that I'm not part of the dominant culture every time I walk into MY City Hall? Where were the decorations for all the other holidays? What happened to Boston being so proud of its diversity???

The Boston Fire Department ordered everybody out of the first floor of the Federal Reserve Bank on Atlantic Avenue after workers reported an apparent gas leak in the basement. Readings in the building, however, proved negative and the department now believes the odor originated somewhere else and followed pipes into the building.
So the Boston Business Journal informs us. Can those of us of the wrong gender, who still have to put up with "train station grade" facilities, get a report from those of the lucky gender?
Boston Police report arresting a Newton man on charges he stabbed one man and beat another after being refused entry to Coogan's Bar around 12:35 a.m.
Police say that after the attack, Peter Damelio, 38, took a cab to Charlestown - where he was arrested.
Police say that when Damelio first showed up at the bar, he tried to gain immediate entrance. A bouncer told him he had to get at the back of the line. Damelio complied, but then tried cutting in line:
Keytar Bear has been making the rounds of downtown and Back Bay T stops, but he came above ground today to play and mug for the camera by the Old State House, where Jocelyn snapped his photo.

Police say they are continuing to investigate just how a visiting Canadian came to die in the men's room at the Bell in Hand early on Sept. 18, his cell phone dropping to the floor after he had called a friend in Canada to complain he wasn't feeling well.
Not because he's Jimmy Kimmel, but because he recently aired a bit in which a laughing 6-year-old said the way to solve our trade imbalance with China would be to bomb the place.
A fire that started in a downtown basement around 7 p.m. on Nov. 9, 1872, quickly spread and destroyed 776 buildings. Firefighters were hampered by the flu many of the horses that pulled fire wagons had come down with - and by the poor water pressure and bad zoning that Fire Chief John Damrell had earlier warned the city about.
