Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren was appointed chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel in 2008, named Bostonian of the Year in 2009 by The Globe for bringing “a sense of sanity to the economic crisis," and is currently a contender to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

Yup, there is something different about Flyby today, and we're pleased to announce that it's here to stay.

There will be extended shuttle services tomorrow, May 8, and next Saturday, May 15, from 8:10 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. ...

About an hour ago, the 10:40 p.m. shuttle to the Quad got into a minor accident on Massachussetts Avenue, right across from the Holyoke Center.

Yesterday night, as we walked past the old Z Square location at 14 JFK St., we noticed something intriguing. The windows were still covered up, no indications of a new business were immediately evident (at least, from where we were standing)...yet there were definitely people inside. We peeked through the door and saw a placard that said something along the lines of "Russell House Tavern closed for a private function." Interesting, we thought. When had a Russell House Tavern opened in Harvard Square?

For those who will be traveling to and from the Quad between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. tonight, take heed.
