URGENT CALL FOR BLOOD DONORS
There’s a citywide blood shortage, and the BPCA is hosting a blood drive today, Jan. 19, from noon to 6p at 6 River Terrace on the ground floor. Make an appointment — walk-ins are only allowed if room capacity and appointment scheduling permits.

HOLY WATER ON READE
No details yet, but it looks like the Grand Banks crew’s new bar at the former Holy Ground space underneath Bluestone Lane will be called Holy Water. Odd coincidence with the name, but as far as I know, there’s no connection.
