Among the occupants of the house at 72 Perthshire Rd. in Brighton that went up in flames last night was Layla the dog, who ran away and hasn't been seen since.
She's described as a shy, four-year-old pit bull. If you spot her, don't try to chase her, but instead call the number at the link.

Boston Restaurant Talk reports the demise of the Castlebar, the latest neighborhood bar in Boston to close.
Driving through Oak Square this morning, I noticed the little sign pointing the way up Washington Street to the turnpike. By itself, no big deal, except note that it shows a green Pilgrim hat - a remnant of the days when the Massachusetts Turnpike had its own authority and for some reason decided to use green Pilgrim hats for its logo (after discarding an earlier logo that featured a Pilgrim hat with an arrow through it and economy-sized toll cards featuring a Pilgrim who was remarkably happy given that he'd just had an arrow shot through his head).

She told me the spots were hers and anyone that parked there would regret it.
