A time capsule that has been lurking under Dudley Square since 1922 was opened today. The small box, which had been found in the Annex of the Ferdinand Building, contained newspapers, furniture store advertisements, and other ephemera from 1922, including a transcript of the speech given by Mayor Michael Curley when the box was first buried. Our Popular Mayor did the honors and presented the capsule's contents to State Representative Byron Rushing, who accepted......

Bostonist Flickr pool member derequito posted a number of excellent shots of ceremonial groundbreaking at the Ferdinand Building, and also wrote about the issue on his blog. We're glad he brought this event to our attention, because it's a great reminder of the Dudley Square Vision Project, which will be discussed tomorrow from 4-6 in Roxbury. This meeting is (conveniently?) not listed on the City of Boston event calendar. The Dudley Square Vision involves real......

--Coverage of yesterday's rally on the Common protesting Chinese repression in Tibet. [BU Daily Free Press, Boston Globe] --In protests of a more frivolous nature, it seems that someone has been publicly stating a problem with the Phoenix's Adult section. At first, we assumed the protest at Gary's Liquors in West Roxbury was that the section wasn't titillating enough, but we were wrong. [Universal Hub] --The National Transportation Safety Board says it won't probe commuter......

--Police have released a sketch of the man they believe to be responsible for the two attacks on women on the Esplanade and one attack in South Boston. Again, here is a description: "A black man, 28 to 32 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 220 pounds with a muscular build and a shaved head. The man was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and dark-colored jeans." We're also posting the police sketch. Police have......

The Globe reported yesterday that wireless Internet access in Boston won't be coming form a city-funded agency but from a newly formed nonprofit organization. Papers were filed with the Commonwealth to establish "openairboston.net" a nonprofit group to bring wireless internet access to Boston. They've got a bare bones website up and running already describing the intent of the operation. The nonprofit model was selected after the Wireless Task Force submitted their report on providing wireless......

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow. Ah, Houstonist. They're biking to work, that is, if they can figure out how to get there. That's right, Mapquest says "Houston had the......

Trolling around looking for wonderful tidbits of life in the Hub have yet to bring us into Roxbury. Today's video, the self proclaimed "Ruff Cut" of the song All Time High, brings us there – with a glimpse of life and a song. Unfortunately, the sound quality that comes off a YouTube video leaves much to be desired. So, Bostonist can't claim that this song is new ring-tone worthy, but hey, it's still the rough......

Bostonist is scrambling to make sure that all our servers and home computers are ready for y2k. The date will roll over in a matter of months and our computer will start thinking we live in 1900. The Big Dig will be complete: tunnels and bridges open, and a beautiful greenway will roll past the North End and Haymarket, the Green Line will extend into Somerville and Silver Line service will run smoothly connecting Dudley......
