A student at Massachusetts Bay Community College in Wellesley was arrested on campus on Thursday with a loaded semi-automatic gun in his backpack.
Wellesley is just one big attention whore. This week it's Wellesley College grabbing the headlines.
There are some towns in Massachusetts that are really expensive to live in. Wellesley tops that list and finished as the seventh most expensive real estate market , according to Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
-- Ayanna Woodhouse pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault and battery for the alleged beating of a woman that led to the death of her 6-month old fetus. Woodhouse fought with the victim at a Dorchester nail salon on April 10. The baby girl was deceased when delivered by C-section at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The cause of death was the placenta getting detached from the uterus. Both Woodhouse and the victim live at the same Wellesley Housing Authority development. There is a $20,000 cash bail. Woodhouse was ordered to stay away from the victim. [Globe, Herald]
IvyGate has pointed us to a recent Huffington Post article listing the top ten "anti-party" schools, providing a welcome counterpart to the perennial party school lists that always just end up featuring the largest schools in the country because bigger schools (not surprisingly) equal bigger parties. Anti-party schools, by contrast, seem like they could be a little more interesting. Sadly, the unimaginative laziness of the HuffPo list (much like the Globe's lazy nacho list) makes it pretty much a yawn.

This Bostonist was first introduced to Tutto Italiano while working across the street in Wellesley several years ago. The big red sign above the door was intriguing and the hype from coworkers even more so. As suckers for a good sandwich, we wandered over one afternoon to give them a try. The atmosphere of this little piece of Italy in America is very casual. Tutto’s wares are displayed simply; letting the quality and variety of products speak for themselves. The focal point of the shop is the enormous meat counter that stretches along one entire wall of the shop. Behind this counter is where the magic really happens.
Prostitutes are moving to the suburbs, and Wellesley can add erotic massage to its list of attractions. Police made the second bust in seven months of an alleged house of prostitution in Wellesley. An anxious Sergeant Marie Cleary of the Wellesley Police Department was quoted in the Globe protesting too much: "It's an extremely uncommon thing to happen in Wellesley." Craigslist and other online classifieds have made it easy for suburban brothels to attract Johns.
--It's always fun when a story is headlined, "Is it raining weed?" Five Roslindale residents--with ages ranging from 14 to 22--were arrested after allegedly forcing their way into an apartment building and heading upstairs. After police showed up en masse, one suspect "dropped a bag containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana on the head of a detective” from a balcony. They were arrested on breaking and entering and marijuana charges. [Roslindale Transcript]
--The media has become entranced by the image of a dude looking like a lady and robbing a bank in Somerset on Wednesday. There's really not much of a story here, except that the dude in question makes for one ugly woman. Apparently, Mrs. Doubtfire was hotter. [Boston Globe]
