Somerville
Somerville is the new Charlestown
Call it Irish-gangster musical chairs. First some Irish-gangster movie is moved from Southie to Eastie because Southie is no longer gritty enough. Now Sam Baltrusis reports that another Irish-gangster movie is being moved from Charlestown to Somerville to avoid confusion with an Irish-gangster movie set in Charlestown and an Irish-gangster TV pilot set in Charlestown.
Meanwhile, West Roxbury has to content itself with Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

boston.com costs some Somerville residents $50
Seems boston.com has a service to remind you to move your car on street-sweeping days. And seems the service didn't notify people in Somerville last week and they didn't move their cars and they got $50 tickets, and boy are they pissed, Wicked Local Somerville reports. Seems boston.com didn't realize that Somerville keeps sweeping its streets through December.
