You may have heard that the Zakim Bridge lights are being turned off so the struggling Turnpike Authority (which we thought they were going to get rid of?) can save some money. It seems that creating a beautiful, attractive bridge was so expensive that they can't afford to light it up anymore. It's a bummer, but maybe it'll keep the gas tax down and/or the T in service... nah, who are we kidding? At most it's a gesture to save a department that's being eliminated anyway. The Zakim has been the subject of so many of our Photos of the Day, and it's a shame to lose its aesthetic appeal at night. If the dimming of the bridge bothers you, there's a Facebook group you can join to show your desire to Keep the Zakim Bridge Lights On. There aren't many members yet, but maybe it'll soon grow to MBTA group proportions. Join up to show your support for the lights.

As if you couldn't already tell by the shouting in the bar or the shaking of the apartment building or your neighbors getting nutty in the street - the Patriots defeated the Chargers last night 24 to 21. Bostonist has long recaps for the Pats games, but this game was so miraculous that it deserves a little Redux. Judging by the pre-game stats and the power that is Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, it...

If you're not into traveling all the way to the Tweeter Center for Journey and Def Leopard, check out this week's picks. Even if you are into heading down to the big name act's show you'll need something to do the rest of the week. There's no joking about it this week. Fall is here. By the time the weekend hits it's time to break out the cider and make some pumpkin pie. We're saving that for Sunday, however, the rest of the week is for music.
