The film crew for the Disney sci-fi thriller flick “The Surrogates” is filming on South Street in the Leather District this week. There’s an interesting set being built at the Human Scale office located on 179 South Street. From the outside, it looks like a futuristic salon called “Artiface” where surrogates can get a makeover … or better yet, a tune up. http://loadedgunboston.blogspot.com/2008/07/bruce-willis-flick-surrogates-filming.html http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1400633 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 Dudes… don’t make me go MSM for stuff like this: http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/general/view.bg?articleid=1105331 http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1400001 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 Took a bunch of nice fireworks photos from my roof deck tonight.

(http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1324551806) If it’s actually him, it’s hilarious. If it’s a parody, the earnestness of the parody is doubly hilarious. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1385598 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 more Red Line delays this morning… the Red Line is running seriously slow today, in the direction of Alewife to Park Street, due to more “signal problems”. First of many delays I expect during my commute this week. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1385353 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 The Boston Police Dept have told bars they have to “shut the blinds to their bars” so people can’t stand on the sidewalk outside and watch the game. They also announced a whole series of parking bans near the Garden and in Kenmore Square. Way to fuck up what will hopefully be a glorious night in Boston sports history. And kudos to BPD for working with the T for getting them to run late service since people can’t park near major bars and clubs to watch the game. Oh, wait, scratch that last part. That would make sense. Typical Boston- unless bribes are switching hands, nobody knows what the other side is doing. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1384819 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 This weekend is going to suck if you live in one part of Boston and would like to go to a different part. In addition to Saturday’s Boston Gay Pride Parade, which will be packing downtown Boston with an estimated 500,000 spectators, the Cambridge River Festival will be closing Memorial Drive all day on Saturday. To top everything off, the Red Line will be taken out of operation between Park Street and Kendall/MIT so that crews can repair the hazardous Longfellow Bridge. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1384063 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 glad to be alive wow way to go celtics http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1383433 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 have you been on the Red Line lately? it is absolutely falling apart. yesterday, it took me OVER AN HOUR to get to Alewife from Park Street when we were told there was a “switch problem” at Alewife. this is a trip that normally takes me 25 minutes! and these are problems that are occurring in ADDITION to the whole Longfellow Bridge issue. this is the third time in the past two weeks that there has been some sort of non-bridge related delay. I now have to leave for work much earlier to budget in delay time on the Red Line. I really wish the MBTA would issue some sort of statement as to why so many track fires, out of service and/or disabled trains, and general delays between Park and Alewife. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1382055 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 ok it didn’t burn down but it is severely charred and now boarded up. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1381885 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 The Grecian Yearning diner on Harvard Ave has burned down as the result of a big accident. http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1381471 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 A moving truck didn’t quite make it under the longfellow bridge.

Phi Ep Don’t Want No Trailor (sic) Trash They might not have branded anyone with a hot fork, but from the looks of the OTR’s message boards Courtney Holt is much better off far, far away from anyone associated with Phi Epsilon. http://www.collegeotr.com/college_otr/phi_ep_dont_want_no_trailor_sic_trash_7969 http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1348851 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 http://www.tuaw.com/photos/boston-apple-store-boylston-street/ I know I’m not the only one who is sick as hell of everyone and their mother trying to claim a connection to the Red Sox as an advertising strategy, and now we have the Green Monstah Apple Store on Boylston. It’s downright annoying how every Boston-based business feels the need to ride the World Series wave all the way to the bank. Businesses like Apple are the worst of the bunch because they don’t even bother to pay the Red Sox for the privilege of the connection, hence (in theory) not contributing to all-important cause of keeping up with the Yankees’ payroll. I expect this kind of behavior from Joey’s Pizza Parlor and All-Nite Revue, but you would think that a successful international corporation like Apple would at least be able to pony up the necessary dough for official sponsorship, am I right? http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1343368 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 Just wanted to share a fashion blog about Boston that I discovered: http://beyondbostonchic.blogspot.com http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1338732 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 If true, quite an interesting blog entry http://randomjesse.blogspot.com/2008/04/well-this-was-not-fun.html http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1336293 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 ‘False start’ sparked pilot’s Fenway gaffe http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080412/NEWS01/804120314/1009 http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1336213 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 how about that awful Pedroia Sullivan Tire Ad? anyone? http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1332168 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 Sam Adams will leave you more than glassy eyed http://www.boston.com/business/ticker/2008/04/glass_particles.html http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1331214 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 New EPA standards for lead paint removal, and Boston and state grants to help: http://blog.homestars.com/boston/2008/03/new-epa-standards-for-lead-paint.html http://www.Bostonist.com/labs/contribute/#1331028 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:15:37 -0600 As always, tips should involve news.
