Looks like there will be no Boloco opening up in Beacon Hill after all.
Newest rumors on the Hill though are that b.good, the "healthy burger" restaurant will be opening up in the old Paris Creperie location on Cambridge Street near the Red Line overpass. Since the days of the Creperie, the Spotted Apron was briefly in business at that location (their still hanging signage is almost the only proof that they ever existed).
Sadly my knowledge of Swedish cuisine only consists of a dinner that a co-worker made 8 years ago and the Swedish meatballs that I've had at IKEA. After next Wednesday, my knowledge of Swedish cuisine will still, sadly, be from those two sources.
The IKEA in Stoughton will be having an all-you-can eat crayfish party on August 20th from 6pm to 9pm. Their (in)famous meatballs will also be making an appearance.
Little gem for the baseball fans. In a utter random coincidence, hotel that I am staying in Machester, NH is actually connected to a minor league baseball park!!
Until this weekend, Manchester NH mostly conjured up some miserable memories for me. Mainly because I got stuck driving in a snow storm and took me about 3 hours to get back to Boston (Yes, I was cursing the entire time).

If you are planning to make a big purchase in MA soon, STOP! (or at least drive up to sales tax free NH to make it)
The weekend of August 16th and 17th will be a Tax Holiday in Massachusetts.
This means that the 5% sales tax will be waived for most items bought in MA, provided it is under $2,500 and not an item classified as tobacco products, restaurant meals, utilities, or cars/boats.
We don't want to prematurely end summer, but a sure sign of fall fast approaching is the state and county fairs that are upcoming. As a kid there would always be field trips to the State Fair, and in the grades when one wasn't scheduled, my parents would take us kids there.
