683.0. "Marathon warning" by BOLT::MINOW (Who will can the anchovies?) Fri Apr 14 1989 15:28

If you're thinking of using the Patriot's Day (Monday, Apr 17) holiday
(Massachusetts only, sorry) to do your Passover shopping, don't forget
that the Boston Marathon will block access to parts of Brookline during
the day.  The marathon course goes down Beacon Street from Cleveland
Circle through Coolidge Corner to Kenmore Square.  The first wheelchair
runners will reach Coolidge Corner at around 12:25, but the streets will
will be blocked off earlier.

Your best bet to reach the grocery stores on Harvard St. is to drive
from the North (Rt 2 to Storrow Drive or the Mass Pike to Allston),
then go down North Harvard St. past Commonwealth Ave and park, say,
in the Purity Supreme lot across the street from Levine's Funeral Home.

683.1What a zoo!YOUNG::YOUNGTue Apr 18 1989 14:5812
    We were planning to go on Monday, but chickened out and went on
    Sunday instead.  The Butchery was, as we expecte, packed.  But with
    two people, one to push the cart and one to run around, pick up
    stuff, and put it in the cart, we were able to get almost everything
    we needed.
    
    Except that they were out of Shmira Matzoh!  They said that they
    give it to the local rabbis free, and that the rabbis cleaned them
    out.  Oh well...
