In 2003, former-mosque director Yousef Abou-Allaban signed a 10-year contract with Antonia Pollack, then-commissioner of Boston's Parks & Recreation Department, outlining the ISB's responsibilities to keep Jeep Jones Park clean. For the first five years of the 10-year agreement, none of this has been done.

Menino's mosque
Most locals concede that getting anything of substance accomplished in Boston is a Herculean task.
FBI nabs Wilkerson
State senator Dianne Wilkerson was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of public corruption -- charges at a level far above and beyond any she has previously faced.
Skara Grill

Trail of jeers
As summer officially kicks off this weekend, thousands upon thousands of people will be descending on our fair metropolis to get a glimpse of America's most history-drenched city.
The best of Boston's mobile cuisine
Summer in Boston traditionally means exploring the city, getting sunburned, and ironically (but totally seriously) drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade. But now that meals-on-wheels mania has put the boot on our fair city, it also means chasing down every food truck in town.
25 years later, Buffalo Tom's frontman looks back at the early days
Buffalo Tom was on its way up. But back then, the farthest imaginable point "up" for a band like us was to be able to tour the States and Europe, maybe headlining places like the Channel or even, in our wildest dreams, the Orpheum. This was P.N. (pre-Nirvana), after all.
