Mr. Music in Allston is one of the few remaining local independent stores, serving a lot of rock musicians over the years in the neighborhood who practice nearby.

sorry that sounds a little preposterous, but you know perhaps if you have a wintry mix of snow/rain, it looks a little slushy as you wipe it from your glass windshield? Or if you are driving behind a Tractor Trailer on the Pike after a blizzard, and your windshield is just coated with a salty sludge? It was like that, except just with the precipitation that collected on my car on Wednesday and again through this morning's weather. The rain seemed to leave a filmy, or grimy streak/residue. When driving, we were prompted to wash the windshield noticeably often. Again I have no information that it's related to pollution but it just looked like rain but did not run off, wipe off, bead up etc. the best way I can describe it was that it was just not as wet. more viscous.

yeah, that is what I was figuring Wednesday. honestly I wiped it off, didn't really think much of it. I can't think of the last time I had to wash the outside of my side windows with a paper towel, but it did seem humid and surely there is some road grime etc.

But the fact that is there again this morning - after a drizzle overnight/light rain today - all I can tell you is that the rain itself was not a wet as you typically see. Not sure that it's chemicals from OH (could it be dust from OK/TX storms?) but it's filmy.

I noticed it on my car Wednesday night, I had to wipe it off the side windows with paper towels it was so filmy and dirty. just chalked it up to winter weather but... that's not what it was.

It is back on there this morning. Drove down Rt 2 today and all the white cars were dirty with it. Had to run my windshield wipers about 2x as often even in light rain. Something is definitely not totally normal out there.

GPS from Boston actually encourages you to go 90>95 for that trip... curious if there is a noticeable spike on 93 that early.

sunday mornings it's kinda nice

before 8

hah right. not sure if duke or NC are coming this year but BC still has the occasional guy who goes pro. I believe there’s still a few out there in the NBA (Reggie Jackson, Jerome Robinson, and Ky Bowman recently)

We're not much of a college basketball town, but in a couple months, you have a chance of catching a quality ACC game at Boston College. Northeastern, BU and Harvard are other Boston D-1 schools but in lesser conferences.

This... it is very weird over there now!

HELL YEAH well done

Welp I gave it about 40 minutes for ya, I concur that it doesn't seem like any version of Kenwood in the area. Sorry about that!

The only neighborhood where I saw any brick porch columns while clicking around was Somerville, FWIW.

If you can give us a general intersection vicinity, would be easier to narrow down a search in case they dropped it on the wrong corner etc.

Did you check Avenues/Places/Terraces etc? Medford/Arlington/Brighton?

I would have said this porch almost feels more like a Somerville or Medford design...

Fun Google Maps Street View problem... can you give us the name of your street? I assume you're #21 but they just had the wrong street?
