That's right, folks: chef Michael Schlow's much-anticipated Happy's Bar + Kitchen is officially open.

As some of you may have recently seen in the Boston Herald - under the headlines "Grime Wave" and the in-depth follow-up "Judges crack down on spray-paint vandals" - the combination task force between the BPD, Transit Police, and authorities from damn near every surrounding municipality is gunning hard for repeat graf offenders - a group that probably includes more than a few heads who are reading this right now.

Since the Boston Police Department arrested renowned street artist Shepard Fairey at his ICA opening this past February, the public has been more aware than ever of the perils faced by Boston graf writers. Not everyone is sympathetic, but at least they know that certain BPD detectives have hard-ons for Krylon vandals.
