PROJECT BREAD SUPPORTS ‘FOOD AND FUN’ FOR MALDEN KIDS THIS SUMMER
$225,900 in statewide grants aim to help families cope with food and gas crisis

June 27, 2008 — EAST BOSTON — When school is out, kids who rely on free or reduced-price school meals need a safe place to go where they can get a healthy meal and have some summer fun. That’s why Project Bread is providing $8,000 in incentive grants to the Summer Food Service Program in Malden in an effort to help families cope with the skyrocketing cost of food and gas.

Enuh Cork reports the automated announcer at Malden took yesterday morning off:

... [S]o I did not know the exact moment when the next train to Forest Hills was approaching or arriving. It's hard to understand how I got on the train without any warning.

Car slammed into house around 4:30 a.m.; third occupant of the car critically injured.

Scarecrows.

Are you looking for like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston? Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building strong cross-issue coalitions?

Robert David Sullivan begins to wonder if the lights still on in downtown Malden are leftover Christmas decorations or something else:

... The lights are supposed to represent a giant angry eagle in flight, about to swoop down and gobble up pedestrians. ...

Jen Stewart took the above photo at the Oak Grove Orange Line station this morning. She reports that it wasn't bad enough that the T bus driver told everybody to get out in the street, way away from the station. When the refugees then straggled up the road because the T didn't shovel the sidewalks, the bus driver honked at them for getting in his way.

To get out the vomit that Enuh Cork couldn't help but notice this morning (along with a woman who sighed every single time the bus to the station stopped).

EnuhCork reports a singing BostonNow hawker is beginning to get on his nerves:

... He sings out to people as they approach the station. I'll do my best to describe it here through extending words by repeating vowels:

"Goooood Morning Everybody...Get Your Boston Noooooooooooooooooow!"

The "now" part of the song is really nasally.

Today, I saw a guy take a paper from the singing hawker and responded with a little tuneful, "Thank Yooooooooooooooooooooooou!" ...
