This is a public service announcement ... with guitars!

Boston-area PSA: There is a nifty roundup of government links to things like public records, real estate information, and background checks for attorneys and plumbers at Boston.com.  Note that only the first section is all links to Boston.com articles; the rest is government listings, etc.  And yes, you can find all this stuff on your own with reasonable google-fu, but nice to have it all in one place.

My favorite link is the one to find out how your town stacks up in the Dunkin Donuts arena. Boston? 67 Dunkin Donuts locations. SIXTY SEVEN!  That's like a Dunkin Donuts on every block!  Wouldn't want to have to walk more than five feet to get coffee and a glazed donut, nope.

... and, okay, there are no guitars.
