Allston Christmas 2012

Allston still life

As we were trying to figure out if this was going in or going out, the owner came up to me and asked if I liked it. He said he "hunted and killed it" when he was just 14, and on vacation in the Black Forest in Germany. I thought it was pretty big, but he said it was "just a baby boy." And he said he was moving out.

Bubble wrap

Bubble wrap was everywhere in Allston today, and we got to hear what it sounded like when a U-Haul drove over lots and lots of it - it was very loud.

Ashford Street in a jam

These guys were having some trouble getting a U-Haul out of their driveway. When a cop pulled up, lights flashing, though, they were convinced to pull it back into the driveway right quick.

Fun mice

Just to clear up any confusion

On Harvard Avenue.

ISD

City inspectors were everywhere, walking around in their blue T-shirts that read "ISD" on the back (not to be confused with the hordes of red-shirted Comcast reps and the poor, lonely single RCN rep in a purple shirt).
