Jed Hresko forwards this photo of some extreme passive aggressiveness: Somebody peeved at a cardboard box in an alley off Columbus Avenue in the South End spent some serious time explaining how to properly recycle the box - by writing down the directions on two sides of the box itself, because, naturally, whoever put the box out there will come out frequently to admire his or her placement of the box (see the second side of complaining).

An offended citizen reports a punch to the sensibilities whenever he or she looks up at some new street signs in the South End:
The new Clearview signs in the South End look great in all-caps, but this one, like those at Appleton and Dartmouth, are jarring to the eyes and just don't look right. I hope the city will correct this for the visual good of the neighborhood.

Ramshackle Salvation Army building: To become sparkly new corporate headquarters?
Boston city councilors today generally backed a proposed city/state deal to grant Liberty Mutual 20 years' of tax breaks to build a new headquarters in the Back Bay, but said the insurer's CEO really should take his foot out of his mouth and stop comparing Boston to Venezuela (assuming the Herald quoted him accurately, which councilors Feeney and Linehan doubted). Residents, however, objected to giving a very profitable company money for building on a "blighted" property. The company itself said it has no plans to move out of Boston no matter what happens - but might not expand without the tax break.

Jed braved the elements to take this exclusive photo of, er, um, a non-snow-covered Columbus Avenue in the South End around noon.

With its wide avenues and actual, dedicated bike lanes. Mike Ball returns from a trip there and is amazed at what you can do with real streets - but also what a little enforcement might do on our non-cow paths:
... I think of the new, narrow bike lanes painted for a short distance on Columbus Avenue here. Eleven days ago, I took it both ways. In that short distance, I counted 22 motor vehicles blocking the lane, 9 one way and 13 back. Of course, there was no enforcement. Bikes had to take the single lane in either direction from cars and trucks to move instead. ...

When Charlotte woke up this morning, she found a brand new bike lane down Columbus Avenue:
... Thank you Boston! It's beautiful. It's just what I always wanted!!!
