Boston Police report on three incidents last night:

A man was found shot around 8:30 p.m. at 30 Algonquin St. in Dorchester. He was taken to Boston Medical Center with possibly life-threatening injuries.

Clayton Doyle, 48, of East Boston, allegedly upset that the McDonald's at 220 Border St. in East Boston had closed for the night, used a construction barrier to smash one of the eatery's windows, police say.

Two Roxbury teens interrupted by a car owner while they were burglarizing his car around 2:30 this morning hit the guy in the chest with a tire iron, drove away (the guy at least got to smash their rear window) then came back and threatened to shoot him - just as police arrived on the scene at Gay Head and Round Hill streets in Jamaica Plain. William D. Mejia, 18, of Roxbury and an unnamed juvenile, 15, charged with a variety of things.

Innocent, etc.

Many items stolen. A sad situation for this hard-working little church near Egleston Square.

Well, one mean street, at any rate. Jeff Cutler describes what he went through to buy a used iPhone from some dude living near English High School:

... Just a half block away from where the kid with the bat assaulted (that's what threatening with a weapon is called I believe) the girl, there was ANOTHER gang jostling about and being approached by two uniformed cops. I kept going. Real nice neighborhood.

Once I got past that group I thought I was home free until a group of younger kids, five youths between 11 and 14 years old, chased my scooter for about 10 feet before giving up (I'm very glad I got the bigger engine as it accelerates quickly).

When I arrived at the house, the iPhone seller advised me to put the scooter out of sight and near the door to the house. ...

A nice review of the 2nd Suffolk Senate race aired on WCVB-TV last night.

The primary between Sonia Chang-Diaz and Dianne Wilkerson is scheduled for September 16.

Full disclosure: I am supporting Chang-Diaz.

Blue Mass. Group posts numbers from a tracking poll conducted by the Sonia Chang-Diaz campaign in the Second Suffolk senate race. The campaign says 417 likely voters were questioned, but doesn't specify their geographic distribution in the district.

Gone as of today; new place will honor Cafe D gift certificates. Via Chowhound.

A few years ago, the MBTA replaced all the stinky diesel buses running out of the Forest Hill yard with clean CNG buses. Yay! Only now a lot of them have developed this interesting characteristic: They whistle as they go. Really loudly. You can often tell when a bus is a few blocks away because you hear something that sounds like a tea kettle or an elephant, or maybe an elephant holding a tea kettle.

Mike Ball reports somebody is stealing sculptures and urns from Forest Hills Cemtery:

... You'd suppose trying to fence two very distinctive and well-known public sculptures will end up tripping up the thieves. I hope so and I bet the cemetery (and likely its insurance company) are working that angle too ...

The Globe reports officials fear the sculptures will simply be sold for scrap.

But as Katken shows, he's not doing so well.
