My little black bike
by Tom Burke 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

has spent most of the last six years locked up and largely unmolested at the corner of Buena Vista Park and Cambridge Terrace. Tonight I found it in this condition: [image: Inline image 1] The wheels were bolted on, so whoever took them had to use a large wrench to get them loose. For six years that apparently daunted potential thieves. My guess is that this was the work of a kid--a pro wouldn't bother with such a cheap bike--but watch out if you lock up outside in the neighborhood. That goes double if you have the common quick release wheels or seatpost which are much easier to steal. Tom Burke (11 Buena Vista Park)

He's always willing to go the extra mile to help others. Now Brian is the one in need.

Please pray for Patrick, Jessica, and the entire Downes family. May they be held in the light. Blessings, Fred P.S. There is a candlelight vigil at 8 pm tonight at Arlington Street Church in Boston. Also, our recent guest Rev. Paul Robeson Ford will open the sanctuary of Union Baptist Church, 874 Main Street, Central Square, Cambridge, between 6 and 7 pm this evening for a brief service of prayer and reflections.
