Yard Waste Collection Starts This Week

1. Apparently we're in for a rainy week, starting today. The forecast is predicting a 50% chance of showers with highs in the mid-50s and light winds around 5 mph.

2. If you're doing some yard work, remember the city's available to pick up your leaves on regular recycling days starting today through May 20. Just be sure to put your yard waste in large paper leaf bags or open barrels (ideally labeled "yard waste").

3. In the market for a new home? Housing inspector Jim Morrison offers some tips for homebuyers in this column.

4. We’re running multiple photo galleries of Easter events in the South End, including this collection of images from Good Friday’s procession by the St. John’s congregation and these photos from Sunday’s Easter Egg hunts at Titus Sparrow and Ringgold Park.

5. The Landwave sculpture in Peters Park will be dedicated today - stop by the outdoor artwork on Washington Street at 11:30 a.m. or read our coverage later this afternoon. For some background on the project, click .
