Mike Mennonno finds a good candidate involving somebody pining for some guy whose fly happened to be open at the Mass. Ave. stop on the Orange Line.

This morning, according to this tweet - about a mile west of Porter Square. Anybody see it or know more?

Steve Nadis reports on a question posed to him on Mass. Ave. near the Cambridge Y yesterday.

Overmatter reports on a seemingly drunk raccoon in front of the Gap in Central Square last night - which made it fit in perfectly with the community of perpetual drunks who normally hang out there:

... "Seriously!" he said. "Walking down freakin' Mass. Ave.! A big-ass rac-damn-coon!" ...

She suffered an ankle injury and cuts in the early Sunday incident at Mass. Ave. and Everett Street, but the bus and the students aboard it came out OK, the Crimson reports.

Some Assembly Required reports he was stopped for a light on Mass. Ave. this evening when a guy crossed in front holding two old-style boomboxes, both playing an old Nirvana song:

... [T]hey were probably tuned to the same radio station. Or given the hardware, who knows? Maybe he'd copied the music onto cassettes and pushed play on both decks at the same time. Rock on, my friend, rock on.

Boston Police report arresting a Roxbury guy and a young sidekick from Dorchester last night on charges they carjacked two people sitting in their car on Camden Street around 11:30 last night.

... The victims state that they were parked on Camden St. when the two suspects approached them and threatened to kill them with a knife unless they gave them a ride to the Mass. Ave. MBTA station. As it turns out, officers spotted the suspects as they made their way to the MBTA station and panicked and fled the car.

So by failing to simply walk the three or four blocks from Camden Street to the Mass. Ave. stop, Terrell T. Banks, 23, and his 14-year-old accomplice now face kidnapping and carjacking charges - along with charges related to the possession of crack, police say.

Meanwhile, earlier in the evening, police say, a Cambridge duo didn't know when to leave well enough alone at the Sox game at Fenway. Police say Kenneth Rudgis, 22, refused to shut up and move back to his seat after police came over to investigate somebody yelling obscenities at some guy (Orioles fan? BPDNews doesn't say):

The suspect was then told that he would have to leave the park because of his refusal to return to his seat, his loud and raucous behavior, and his continuous assault on the victim. While officers were about to place suspect, Kenneth Rudgis in custody, Karalyn Rudgis, who was seated behind the victim poured two full cups of beer on the victim followed by suspect, Kenneth Rudgis pouring another cup of beer on the victim and attempting to grab the victim by the shirt.

Following a brief struggle, police say, the pair were removed to a place where they could yell all they wanted to.

Innocent, etc.

Steve Nadis reports on his smashing meeting with an MIT bicyclist at Mass. Ave. and Memorial Drive.

The body of a white man in his 40s was pulled from the Charles River near the Boston end of the Mass. Ave. bridge around noon today, the Suffolk County DA's office reports. No obvious signs of trauma were found; an autopsy is planned for this weekend.

Rob Bellinger advises that Cambridge Police are actually ticketing bicyclists who run a red light at Mass. Ave. and Pleasant Street:

... They got eight bicyclists for this while I was having lunch nearby, plus ticketed another for biking on the sidewalk in front of 7-11. ...
