Roxbury Latin Summer Theater presents William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream
July 30, 2010
Join us for this tale of young love, magical sprites and merry wanderers of the night, an innovative classic version of Shakespeare’s best loved comic masterpiece. As the height of summer comes to a close and before fall shows its autumnal bloom, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, one of Shakespeare’s best loved plays, comes to Roxbury Latin this August. In a world of lovers, royalty, sprites, faeries, goblins, elves and shambolic actors, a magical romantic comedy will unfold before your eyes within the walls of Roxbury Latin’s Smith Theater.
Roxbury Latin Summer Theater is a new and exciting professional theater project sponsored by The Roxbury Latin School. For our inaugural production, we offer an entertaining, imaginative, classically bold interpretation of this colorful masterpiece. It will be a production that promises to delight and enthrall audiences of all ages, and theatrical experiences. Read more
The Yard House at Legacy Place in Dedham
July 29, 2010
Last Friday night, we felt like grabbing a bite out with the 5-yo. I wanted to sit outside, so this limited our choices significantly. We opted to head over to Legacy Place in Dedam, because there are five different outdoor dining options there.
We wanted something the 5-yo would eat and didn’t want to wait for a table long, so we decided to try the Yard House, a chain restaurant known for having a very large number of beers on draft. I figured this place would have plenty of tables available. We immediately realized it would be too hot to eat outside anyway, as their patio faces the setting sun, so we figured we’d just sit inside. Read more

Mayor Menino Celebrates Hyde Park Main Streets’ 15th Anniversary
July 26, 2010
Last Friday, Mayor Thomas M. Menino joined the Hyde Park Main Streets Board and members of the Hyde Park community to celebrate the district’s 15th anniversary at a fundraising event dubbed Destination Hyde Park, which took place at the George Wright Golf Course Clubhouse on West Street in Hyde Park. Guests enjoyed the music of Daniel Ian Smith’s Jazz Quartet, as well as performances by Riverside Theatre Works, and the music of local disk jockey Kevin Stallings.
In presenting “Recognition Awards” to former Hyde Park Main Streets executive directors Janice Kenney, and Karen O’Connell, and past board presidents Norman Williamson, Brian Clinton, Lisa Consalvo and Scott Batey, Mayor Menino lauded community members for their commitment to the neighborhood, and thanked them for their dedication to Hyde Park Main Streets.

A New Era in Parkway Politics
July 15, 2010
Well it is something that doesn’t occur often in such a political hotbed as the Parkway, but there are currently three open positions to represent the Parkway Area. With the sudden departure of John Tobin as the district city council, there are now openings in 3 political offices that represent the Parkway; State Senate, State Representative and District City Council.
It is the first time a over 20 years that the Parkway will have new representation in all three seats. This, along with a hotly contested Governor’s Race, should make for an interesting political season. While many are enjoying the dog days of summer down the Cape, or elsewhere, political hopefuls have their “machines” hard at work to convince you why they should be the next to represent you on Beacon Hill and City Hall.
Democrats Mike Rush (West Roxbury) and Michael Walsh (Westwood) are facing off against Republican Brad Williams (West Roxbury) for Senator Marian Walsh’s open seat.
Democrats, Matt Benedetti, Ed Coppinger, Bob Joyce, Pam Julian, Paul Sullivan, and Kelly Ann Tynan, are all attempting to succeed Mike Rush in the House.
And as of today, the race for Tobin’s Council seat (while not even officially a race) appears to be a one-man show with Matt O’Malley’s announcement coming almost immediately following Tobin’s. James Hennigan Jr. and Tobin aide Dave Isberg are also rumored to be mulling a run, as are several others from both the Parkway and Jamaica Plain.
It will be an interesting Fall in the Parkway. Two Words: House Signs. What are your thoughts? Who do you think will be the next Senator? Rep? Councilor?

BFW Review of Fresh Catch in West Roxbury
July 7, 2010
About two years ago, a new takeout seafood place opened up on Centre Street in West Roxbury… Fresh Catch To Go. I wondered how they would do, as the location has limited parking and they are strictly takeout. Also, they joined the restaurant business just as the economy tanked. But two years later, and they are still there and seem to be doing okay.
I have no idea why (as I LOVE seafood), but I never got to Fresh Catch until about 3 weeks ago. The place where I get my pedicures is right next door, but the restaurant’s hours are a bit limited (closed on Sun/Mon, 4-9pm on Tue/Sat and 11am-pm on Wed/Fri)… so I guess it just never worked out for me until now.
I went in (of course), after a pedicure. It was early… about 11:30am, so it was quiet (no other customers). I knew what I wanted., so I ordered immediately… my summer addiction: a Lobster Roll. Read more
