Today's riddle: What has 2 arms and a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Police Seek Man After Reported Lewd Act On MBTA Red Line Train (patch.com) — Transit Police are asking for the public's help identifying a man accused of committing a lewd act on a late-night Red Line train traveling toward Harvard Square in Cambridge. The incident, investigated as open and gross lewdness, happened between Park Street and Harvard stations, and anyone who recognizes the suspect is urged to contact Transit Police investigators.
2. Man allegedly brandishes edged weapon at Harvard-area coffee shop, prompting campus shelter-in-place (foxnews.com) — A man allegedly brandished an edged weapon at a Harvard Square coffee shop Tuesday morning, prompting a Harvard University shelter-in-place and a search by Cambridge and state police near JFK Memorial Park. No one was injured, and the suspect was later arrested and charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct.
3. Burlington Developer Submits Second Allston Project (bankerandtradesman.com) — Cambridge residents are seeing their city's new zoning rules tested as Burlington developer DND Homes' infill plans have sparked backlash from opponents of eliminating single-family zoning. While the firm advances a 151-unit project in Allston, its proposal to replace a Cambridge single-family home with a 56-unit building has become a rallying point, even featured by Councillor Kathy Zusy in a video urging a rollback of the new rules.
4. Lead Actor Job in The View from Up Here, Female, Age 25-35 (backstage.com) — An independent production is casting a female lead, age 25–35, for The View from Up Here, with filming in Boston, Allston, and Cambridge and a flat rate of $100–$200 over about three days. The story centers on May, a Korean immigrant struggling with anorexia and mental health, so prospective Cambridge actors should note the heavy themes of suicide and self-harm.
