Mystic River is more muddy than mystic, receiving a "D" grade from the EPA at the Mystic Watershed Summit. [Somerville News]
(OK, not really.) If you live and work in Boston proper, or in Cambridge, or really anywhere other than Somerville, the ongoing saga of the development of Assembly Square feels like a distant local squabble. But for Somervillionaires, it's a big, exciting question: Will mayor (and assistant football coach at Somerville High) Joseph Curtatone be able to deliver on one of his major campaign promises and turn Assembly Square from a down-at-the-heels, semi-industrial wasteland to a prosperous, Ikea-having, retail and residential Shangri-La by the tranquil banks of the Mystic River?
Do you know what movie is being flimed on Charles Street (the Cambridge end)? The last block is filled with trailers and temporary tents. I saw some names on a trailer door - Lucy and Desi - which led me to believe it's an "I Love Lucy" remake. But a quick search on IMDB revealed no movie of the same title.

Many of the bars that claim to be "Irish Bars" in Boston are just trying to get in on the lucrative tourism market, knowing full well that the tourist won’t know the difference. Bostonist looks for a couple things to determine the true Irish heritage of a watering hole. The selection of scotch and whiskey must be good, the bar usually will stock a couple you’ve never heard of and might cost you $12 a glass. They have to serve a good selection of beer and have Guinness on a hand-pull or stout tap. Corned beef and cabbage are served at least once a week. The essential ingredient, a true tell-tale sign, is a guy at the bar with a red nose and cheeks muttering to his beer with an accent you can’t quite understand. Doyle’s on Washington Street has been exuding Irish Bar since 1882.
