Hi,

  Does anyone out there know anything about the
  Stoneleigh-Burnham private high school located
  in Greenfield, MA?  I friend of mine's daughter
  was accepted there rather easily and they are
  a little skeptical about the place.  Any info
  would be appreciated.  Please respond directly.

Thanks, Anne

i used mystic in the past, believing their ad claims of high
quality work.  then i realized that:

 (1) mystic's quality was *worse* than the 7-hour photolab 
     around the corner from my work (o'henry's film works).

 (2) mystic charged almost as much money.  

o'henry's packages the negatives in individual protective slipcases, 
whereas mystic simply sticks them all on top of each other in an 
envelope.


every once in a while, i shoot simple "fun" snapshots, esp when i and
a bunch of friends get together.  when i'm not too paranoid about
quality, i go all the way, and send the film to be processed by york
color labs.  they're *very* cheap, but using them is like being in a
shooting craps.  it's not that they're bad, it's just that the quality
ranges from good to excellent.  sometimes, i'm stunned by their work,
and at other times, i'm just mildly satisfied.  i found that their
frequency of scratching film is no better/worse than others.

york photo labs has offices in: parkersburg wv, boston ma, 
orlando fl, hartford ct, etc.  their main offices are in parkersburg,
and i don't know if their other "offices" are simply forwarding 
the mail to parkersburg.

If I remember correctly (I grew up in Boston, and move to Va a month
ago), the closure of the Green Line A branch to Watertown was
announced as temporary.  Various people have posted the route; it
is now covered by the #57 bus from Kenmore Square. (Actually, 
I note some errors in the posted route.  The tracks don't
stay on Washington Street all the way to Newton Corner, 
but use another, paralleldiverging street.  I want to say that it's
Park Street, but it could be Tremont--I know the name is 
the same as a downtown Boston street.  In identifying Oak
Square, below, I call it Park. If you need to know the exact
route, you can look for the tracks in the street.  It's also,
because of one-way streets, the only legal way to drive from
Newton Corner to Brighton Center.) Extra service
was provided at rush hour as far as Oak Square, which is the
place in Brighton where the line moves from Washington Street to
Park Street, just west of Brighton Center.  There is a track loop still in the pavement as of a few months ago.

At that time, the in-town terminus of the A branch was Park Street.
(The E branch ended there, too.  I don't remember how far the other
lines went because I only went to Government Center.)

The big objection to the A branch tracks is that the trolleys ride
on the street and block vehicular traffic.  (The same objection
has been expressed to the E branch to Arborway.  That is why 
it was replaced by bus service below Heath St. for so long.)

Remember that the Watertown branch closed before the MBTA bought
the articulated cars that they use now.  The Watertown line was
served by the "PCC" cars, which were about half the length of the
articulated ones, so that they could make the turn.

As far as the Transportation Library is concerned, it may be 
internal to the MBTA.  They used to have extensive records of
their own history, I believe.  There are local hobby groups, too,
who would know more.

The net knows everything???  Oh well.

I was under the impression that the closer you got to the Alewife station,
the trains have to be further underground since Cambridge and Somerville
are residential cities.  Check out the DAVIS stop when you have a chance and
take the Holland Street exit, see how steep the escalator and stairs are
at that station!

Clearances, apparently.  The turn at Harvard is too tight to allow parallel
tracks and platforms.  (The two levels there date from before the extension,
by the way.)  The width of the tunnel up to Porter was also constrained by
the need to do all of the work under Mass Ave with the absolute minimum of
digging under existing buildings.

The Porter station is so deep partly because Porter Square is on a slight
hill and also because it has to go far enough under the commuter tracks to
allow supports for the trains on those tracks.  (Regular trains, particularly
freights, are much heavier than rapid transit.)

By the way, on many buildings along the route of the T extension, you will
see attractive circular tiles firmly affixed to the walls near the doors.
The T did this so that in case any of the buildings started to settle, the
tiles would crack an as soon as the walls or door frames started to warp
before there was serious structural damage so they'd have time to do
something about it.

They are playing games too.  A couple of months ago, Fleet was advertising

But in that case, you aren't arguing that his right of freedom of

That's very different from the point of the original posting.

   At what point does the increased police harassment violate
   our First Amendment right to speak out against the laws?

I don't see that there was any "harassment" here.  The fact that this
guy spoke out does not immunize him from being investigated or
arrested.  And, as has been pointed out, if there are bad laws on the
books, that's not the fault of the police, and it is not the proper
role of the police to set themselves up as an unelected legislature.
If you are opposed to victimless crimes being on the books, the police
are not the parties to blame.

Al,

York Photo Labs is a subsidiary of Nashua Corporation.  York's offices and main
lab are in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and I was told by a co-worker who used 
to work for Nashua that the P.O. Box addresses are picked up by a courier
service and brought down to Parkersburg.

I have done business with York for many years and have been completely
satisfied with their services.

My $.02 to this list: I've known people who had mezzamezza work done
at Lexington Toyota.  However, in the last 3 years or so, they've
revamped their setup, improved their scheduling, and so on.  I've paid
a lot ($48/hr labor at present) but the work was done right and on
time.  I also got 2 or 3 hours free recently when I was worried
about a heating problem, they test drove it, ran it thru a bunch of
garage tests, and reported no problem. No charge. (I was just being
jumpy about the thermometer level, apparently).
As I've posted previously, Foreign Auto Union in Reading would be
my preference if I were anywhere near them any more :=(.

Hi,
	I have a 1990 Toyota Corolla, and it's about time for me to give
it its 15,000 mile checkup.  The logical place for me to take it to get
its maintenance done would be a Toyota dealer, but I've heard really bad
things about most of the Toyota dealers within 128, and my one
interaction with a local Toyota dealer has made even more suspicious.

	However, if I go to an independent garage, I wonder if they'll
have the special diagnostic tools to really be able to check out my car.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good car mechanics which have
been both (a) honest and (b) can do solid, competent work on Toyotas?
Thanks!
