A friend who lives on Allston Street reported the city generally did an excellent job this weekend keeping returning-student trash from getting out of hand. But she pointed us to Bellvista Road, where the city missed a spot.

Jay approves of the plan to bring Katrina victims to Camp Edwards instead of the South Boston convention center:

... Moving people from the Superdome to the Astrodome to the Convention Center would have merely compounded the initial mistake of putting people in one mass room. ... This is Mitt's moment -- and he seems almost itching to replicate his 2000 Winter Olympics success. I'm pretty confident he'll handle it well -- as will the people of Massachusetts.

Dave wonders: How many hair salons can Centre St. in West Roxbury have?

... I am not saying this because I am jealous, but the other day I took Matthew for a walk and I swear I passed 7 from my house to (Catholic Memorial). Is this necessary? Who is saying "I would love to open a hair salon and I have the perfect place. Right in between Salon Sassoon and Snippy Snips and across the street from Sexual Scissors." ...

Ed. note: The answer: Centre Street has about as many hair salons as it does funeral homes. As well as one barber shop that proudly boasts of "7 1/2 barbers."

As we turned onto Austin Street in Hyde Park this afternoon, a well dressed woman tried to wave us down. She was holding a small cardboard sign reading "Veggies for Katrina." When I waved and shook my head no as we drove by, she jumped into the street and started angrily waving her arms and yelling at us.

Lady, maybe you might want to consider whether people driving by you have already decided how to contribute to Katrina relief and don't need veggies.
