As a cyclist who uses the community path for time trial efforts, I want to know who approved the new painted speed bumps. I'm trying to hold 30 MPH, and it feels like every few hundred feet I'm forced to brake or lose rhythm. I've already lost an estimated four seconds on my usual loop!

But it does have some cool angles

hi hi !! i am on the hunt for a new hair stylist, particularly for a cut!

i have curly hair that’s currently to my shoulders, grown out from a shaggy mullet, and desperately want to get it back to that. my former stylist unfortunately stopped practicing and i’ve been putting off finding a new one bc i loved her so much lol

i’d love a queer / queer friendly salon/stylist who does fun queer cuts, and who knows how to handle curly hair !! if anyone has recs PLEASE let me know!! willing to travel outside somerville, i have a car :)

thanks so much!!

My sister calls me up and says there are weird things in the back yard. I'm like tell your husband to check them. He won't. So I go over and look. Yup nothing out of the ordinary. Just some Space Alien mushroom fungus from Planet Qe3-59f. And a soccer ball.

On the 24th of October, the undead of Cambridge, Somerville, and beyond, will rise and swarm the streets in search of brains, booze, or both.....

The Camberville Zombie Pub Crawl is back from the dead for its seventh year! Throw on your best zombie attire and join the horde for an event that should not be missed.

The schedule is as follows:

-Portico Brewing: 5-6pm

-Remnant Satellite: 6-7pm

-The New Republik: 7-8:30pm

-An Sibin: 8:30-10pm

-The Druid/Trina's Starlite Lounge/Parlor Sports/Tall Order: 10-2am

Zombie Dance Party at Tall Order from 11-2 featuring DJ L’Duke

At the end of each time slot, we as a group will crawl, moan, amble, and groan our way to the next spot. Patron and Superlyte are our gracious sponsor this year, so keep an eye socket out for specials featuring them along the way, as well as some spooky food specials provided by our participating stops.

Helpful hints for new and seasoned zombies alike:

- Eat snacks! All participating bars serve food (even our newest addition Tall Order until 1:30) and eating food is a great way to survive all our stops and remember them the next day

-Bring valid ID! Checking ID's for people with a face full of makeup is hard enough already, so make sure your ID is valid and up to date

-Bring cash! We want to be as nice to our bartenders as possible, and not making them open and close 50 zombie tabs for one drink is a great start

-Be respectful! Having a large number of people flood your bar all at once can be stressful, so let's all try to make this as easy as possible for the establishments that have graciously accepted to be included in our crawl

Our first stop at Portico is family friendly, so bring the kiddos down to see some fun costumes and get your face painted; stops after there will be 21+. Spread the word, invite your friends, share this event, and let's kick off Halloween season right!

Does anyone know the story with this vacant storefront? From posters in the windows, it looks like it was still open in mid-2020.

Hi Somerville! A couple of weeks ago I brought home Twizzler and I'm learning he has a bit more separation anxiety than I hoped, so I'm thinking about ways to manage him. I work hybrid (home M/W/F, in the office T/Th) and I'm wondering if there's anyone who has a dog in a similar but backwards situation and would be interested in swapping doggy daycare. Twizzler is super friendly, good with cats and kids -- not neutered (yet! I'm scheduling it in the next few weeks).

It might be a long shot, but if anyone wants to trade off days, message me and we can see if our pups get along?

Early voting starts today in Mass -- if you're registered in Somerville, you can pop up to the City Hall and vote today until 5. (I'll paste the whole schedule below.) It was my first time voting early and I didn't know what to expect. If you're the same way, I'll tell you!

Voting early -- how to!

Follow the signs to the front door. Up the stairs and inside, you'll more signs that say "VOTING DOWNSTAIRS". Or you can ask the very nice, only slightly beleaguered person at the desk! Downstairs, a nice person will hand you an envelope. You fill out the top three lines, then take that to the window. A different nice person will type a bunch of things into the computer and then hand you the two pieces of your ballot.

Take the ballot over to the booths and fill out all the bubbles, as usual. There are bunch of initiatives, and the one about keeping cannabis legal is on the front side of the second page, if that's important to you.

You tuck both pages into the envelope, seal it, and drop it in. The first nice person will give you your sticker! I love the sticker. I was ruined by childhood gold stars.

Registration deadline is Oct 24

If you're not registered -- you've got a week! You must register by 5 (in person) or by midnight (online) next Saturday.

Early voting schedule for city hall

We all know that everyone is mad about the motor bikes on the community path and the city hasn't made any great improvements. I just wanted to share my experience and the advice I received from the Somerville Police Department this evening.

I (32/F) was walking east on the path approaching Junction Park around 8:15pm when a motor bike came from the opposite direction at 25-30mph. As he passed, I yelled at him to "slow down." Then, I heard him turning around behind me. He then proceeded to absolutely GUN it as he raced back in his opposite direction, toward me, at about 40mph. He came so close to me that it forced me off the path and onto the shoulder, and I felt the air as he closely whizzed by me. Then, once he was about 30 feet ahead of me, he turned back around and proceeded in his original direction, and made eye contact with me (helmet on) and wagged his head in what I felt was taunting. My only interpretation of his behavior was that he intended to intimidate/ almost hit me, and I felt shaken and nervous about being on the path afterwards.

I called the Somerville PD to report this, and their advice was to call every time I saw a motor bike on the path. I told them that would result in my calling 5-10 times a day during my 30-minute daily walk. The man on the line told me that driving up the call volume on this topic was the only way to get City Hall to take more action on it.

I'm so fed up with this.

Hi everyone, kinda a long shot but i left my purse on the red line or 83 earlier today and was wondering if anyone picked it up. It’s a dark purple rectangular bag and the brand is Hobo. My ID, insurance cards, and credit/debt cards are in there sooo I’d really like it back 🫩

We found Google Pixel Buds in their charging case in Nunziato Park this weekend. Got rained on, but seem to still be working.

DM if you lost them. Please include the exact model, and bring the device (phone?) you normally pair with them to identify.

Please dm me…. my id was in the left pocket, and i kinda need that
