local things I have opinions about

The Museum of Modern Renaissance is awesome. Sort of Russian iconography meets psychedelic art with a bit of Northwest Coast. This is the building on College Ave with the big face on the front - it used to be a Masonic Hall or something and now the inside is all covered in these amazing murals. It's open tomorrow again for Somerville Open Studios, worth checking out! ETA: I might mean Byzantine and not Russian?

Pollen, on the other hand, sucks ass.
