这儿虫子好多!!! (There are so many bugs here ! ! !) 嗨, 哪个食堂最好吃啊 !! (Hi, Which is the best restaurant for us to eat! !)

Bugs… you mean in America? at BC? In the library? Bugs tickle my walls if they’re on the interior, but I haven’t felt many lately. If you mean outside, sure, July and August are buggy months in Boston. Many restaurants in Boston & environs. It all depends on what kind of food you like. Mexican? Locally, El Pelon. Speaking of local, the best pizza is Pino’s or Frank Pepe’s. Taiwanese? People like Mu Lan in Waltham. Speaking of Waltham, Cuban: Gustazo, and Guatemalan: Mi Tierra. Another locale with many restaurants: The North End. Try Carmelina for classic Italian and then Caffe Vittoria for espresso and gelato.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
