Tufts Marathon Team (TMT) members who were unable to complete Monday’s race will receive medals at a ceremony Sunday, according to an email from TMT Coach Don Megerle. The event, called “A Jumbo finish for those who didn’t,” will honor the hard work of Tufts runners who trained for the marathon.
“We want as many people as possible to attend… just like the marathon itself,” Megerle said in an email to the Daily. “I am planning on having volunteers there wearing their yellow jackets and white hats, etc.”
The ceremony will be held 12-1 p.m. behind Gifford House.

Tired of getting drinks at Hotung and the bars around Davis? Want a change of scene and environment? For all of you beer (and pretzel) lovers who are 21 and older, there is a new place to get your fix. The Harpoon Brewery recently opened as Boston’s first Beer Hall, resembling those found during the quintessential study abroad vacations to Germany.
Now that its is finally getting warmer, birds are chirping and people are studying and relaxing on the quad, its the perfect time for an adventure. And getting to Harpoon Brewery is a bit of one – take the Red Line to South Station, from there take the Silver Line to Marine Industrial Park, and hop off at the Manulife Builiding which will leave you right at the doorsteps of the Brewery.
Swing by on a weekday afternoon to enjoy a tour that starts every hour between noon and 6PM. There are also tours during the weekend every 20 minutes from 11:20am to 6:00pm. It’s only $5 and it comes with a tasting, souvenir mug, and a portion of the proceeds go to charity.
After indulging in a tour, make your way through the gift store to the Beer Hall itself and enjoy some more beer and a snack. You can either grab a seat at the bar or sit down on the long communal beer hall tables and be served by a waiter. The staff is friendly and helpful and although you may have come for a drink, you’ll stay for the pretzels. These delicious morsels are baked and served hot and soft, plus come with a side of sauces. The beer and cheese sauce is a common favorite, but their mustard – which pairs heavenly with the pretzel – is a true standout.
Harpoon is open Sunday through Wednesday from 11am to 7pm and Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 11pm.

Tufts announced in a community-wide email that the parking ban which went into effect last night will continue until Monday, Feb. 18 at 9 AM due to the snowstorm. Cars may not be parked on university roadways or in faculty lots, and anyone with a green or red parking decal is welcome to park in the Lower Campus Garage or Dowling Garage. Non-commuters may also leave their cars in the Dowling Garage until 3 PM on Monday.
Despite the parking ban that is in effect, the university shuttle buses including the Joey will continue to run on their normal schedule, with the potential for delays due to the possibility of poor road conditions. For service updates, visit this website for more information.

On the heels of Winter Storm Nemo, which broke records for snowfall in the city of Boston, another storm is coming overnight Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, this unnamed storm is only expected to bring light to moderate snow to the area.
Local cities, including Somerville, have begun to issue snow emergencies for the weekend in order to prepare for snow removal efforts that will be complicated due to the large amounts of snow still accumulated from last week’s blizzard, which brought over two feet of snow to the area.
Tufts has enacted a parking ban on university roadways and staff/faculty parking lots, which starts tonight at 11 p.m. and continues until tomorrow at 9 p.m, according to an email sent out to the Tufts community tonight. Students with Resident or Commuter permits are allowed to move their cars to the Lower Campus Garage or the Dowling Garage.
According to an announcement by the City of Somerville, residents may not park cars on the even-numbered sides of streets starting at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Anyone who cannot find parking is permitted to park in municipal and school parking lots during this time. Keep checking Jumbo Slice over the weekend to find more updates on this storm and its effects.
