So last night Fred and I signed the lease for a nice two bedroom apartment in Newton. I, for one, am really looking forward to moving although it will mean a ton of work over the next month. The biggest plus is that it is much closer to my job and my commute will be about half an hour or so. Of course, it increases Fred's commute by a pretty heft percentage (we currently live less than a mile from his job), but it would have been a hard thing to avoid. I'm just glad we were able to find a heated two bedroom in our price range.
Leases are often a pretty funny read. One of the parts of the lease concerned how we were not allowed to hang anything from the walls or doors but we were allowed to arrange our furniture however we wish. Another page of instructions/addendum said that we weren't allowed to smoke anywhere on the property but could smoke in our apartment (we don't smoke, but we have some friends and family who do).

Mr. Hurley, owner and operator of various amusements along the boulevard, started his business in 1896. He was past president of the Revere Beach Businessmen's Assn., Our Lady of Lourdes Holy Name Society, and, in 1904, was a member of the Revere Police Department.
Husband of the late Mary E (Donahue), Mr. Hurley leaves 9 children, Mrs. Celia A'Hearn, Mrs. Esther Miller, Theresa Hurley, Irene Mackenzie, Frederick Hurley, Jr., Timothy, and Linus, all of Revere; Clement of Saugus and Leo of Melrose; 12 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren
Last Hurley of Revere Beach fame dies
Revere
Clement W Hurley was at Revere Beach when four roller coasters clacked and clattered around the seaside amusement park. He was at Revere Beach when there were six merry-go-rounds and the crash of dodgem cars competed with the pounding of the surf. And he was at Revere Beach when gravelly voiced barkers shilled stuffed dolls for a quarter a chance and smell of hot dogs and onions filled the air.
Hurley, of Saugus, the last remaining member of the original Hurley family who built the first amusements at Revere Beach, died peacefully Wednesday in Salem at Salem Hospital. He was 89.
