Bedford Hill on Franklin

Posted on December 17, 2010 by The Changeling

I first heard about Franklin Avenue’s new coffee bar, Bedford Hill, on Grub Street. It’s a nice looking place and it was quite packed on the morning that I passed by. The early Yelp reviews are all good, so it looks like it’s a winner for Franklin Avenue. Have you checked it out [...]

Posted on December 14, 2010 by The Changeling

Local Orbit is a new option for those of you who would like to receive fresh local produce. What I like about it is that you are able to choose the produce that you receive, a perk that you don’t get when you join a CSA. Here are the details:
