They have won the league title nine straight times. And they sit at the top of their division yet again with less than a week to go for the playoffs. It's good quality baseball.

A 3-foot-high fence will surround the entire new field, up to the walkway stretching from Franklin Street to Glen Street." Sounds Thoreau-like, doesn't it? Neighbors are less than pleased.

It's all part of land swapping and Ikea's Swedish invasion. Why is it the you can build the Nine Circles of Ikea in what, a year? Two? But it takes 10-15 years to get a park that's basically already there and needs maintenance and accessibility?

The Aldermen are pressing to make changes--reduce environmental impacts and costs. I particularly like this quote from Rebekah Gewirtz, “I don’t think we should be taking little steps. I think we need to take big steps, and map out how to deal with it not just in costs, but in environmental impact.” Jun 17, 2008 - 10:06 pm http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=1319&group=99 Tour Somerville's gardens this Saturday, 12-5.
