Carlo Basile, the man who was officially Democrat but fell somewhere between elephant and donkey, will be the new State Representative for East Boston. He won handily with 46% of the vote. The Hubster noted that turnout was 4,495. In the Boston City Council elections, Chuck Turner breezed to victory in District 7 (Roxbury) with 75.73% of the vote. Carlos Henriquez was second place with only 16.26% of the vote, so they will face off...
Bostonist would like to congratulate Heather for winning our contest for two free tickets to the Revenge of the Book Eaters show at the Berklee Performance Center.
Bostonist received a particularly heartwarming Christmas gift last year, one that we proudly showed off whenever we could. Our Friends of Mel bracelet was too large for our dainty wrist, but a modification - we turned it into a necklace - gave us a conversation jewelry piece that was also fighting breast cancer.
Revenge of the Book Eaters will take place on Wednesday, September 26th, at the Berklee Performance Center. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For ticket info, visit 826 Boston's website.
LAist tracks an award-winning TV writer who worked on Good Times to a homeless shelter and sees a Little Old Lady get a jaywalking ticket because she can't get across fast enough (in the same post!). Poets invade Metro and an LAist contributor's new book asks WWJB.
In the last couple months, Bostonist has noticed a series of photocopied signs taped to lampposts and walls around Downtown Crossing (an example is to the right), warning everyone to "Beware of Mary Mitchell-Nixon, L.I.C.S.W ." The signs, which appear on colored paper, go on to explain that Ms. Mitchell-Nixon is an "abuser of people with AIDS," but they don't say much else. (In fact, the only other thing on the signs is "P.W.A.'s! " While this immediately reminded Bostonist of a certain old-school, west-coast rap act, we suspect it doesn't actually stand for Psychologists With Attitude. "People With AIDS" seems more likely.) This got us (and others) wondering, "Who is this Mary Mitchell-Nixon, what has she done, and to whom?"
