Hi everyone,

I'm selling a great couch that is simply too big to fit into my apartment.
•Comfortable, oversized (approx. 8ft. x 3ft. x 3ft.), brown fabric couch.
•The couch is only 1.5 years old and is in great condition.
•Originally sells for around $900 at Ashley Furniture.
•Hoping to sell it for around $250 but will take best offer.

If you're interested, please email Mike at mwobal@gmail.com. The couch is near Powderhouse Sq., so transportation would be easy!

Thanks,
Mike Obal

They're the best hardware store in Cambridge. For example, they were the only place that I could find window sash cord, even though old-style windows are all over the place around here.

Can anyone recommend a similar store in another town?

From the City of Cambridge website. Note, the fact that this concerns (among other camera systems!) the "Metro-Boston Homeland Security Region's (MBHSR) Critical Infrastructure Monitoring System" (which also includes Boston, Brookline, Chelsea, Everett, Quincy, Revere, Somerville, and Winthrop) is somewhat buried in the PDF draft that is linked below (see page 3).
