Allston coming back to life after holidays

The students cleared out a few days before Christmas, leaving Allston deserted, but now that the holidays are over, they are back preparing for spring semester.

Sunday is shopping day, and the supermarket and sidewalks were jammed with young folks toting packages. Reflecting a new atmosphere of frugality, two students picked their way down the ice-banked sidewalk, each carrying two 12-packs of toilet paper.

In spite of their return, Brighton Avenue was fairly quiet late at night this weekend, thanks to bitter cold temperatures that kept the party people indoors.
