We have a double Friday Link, today. First is The Garden Club of the Back Bay's blog that keeps us informed about wonderful programs, events, and exhibitions.
"Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change, a ground-breaking exhibition at the Concord Museum from April 12 through September 15, 2013, explores three centuries of careful observation of seasonal natural phenomena in Concord, a pool of data on the relationship between climate and biology that is essentially without parallel in North America. The exhibition also provides an extraordinary opportunity to examine the Concord Museum’s renowned Thoreau collection that includes the desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden, together with examples of his original field notes, journal recordings, seasonal charts, and botanical specimens. This material has never before been exhibited together."
In additon to putting a visit to this exhibition on your calendar, there are links to ways that you can become part of this ongoing examination of climate change on the exhibition page.

If your favorite food truck is missing from its usual place on April 1st, don't think it's a joke! That's the date when the trucks we know will change their times and places around the city. They will also be joined by a group of newcomers. We all have a flavorful season ahead of us on the streets of Boston.
BostonZest will be out there covering the street food scene and adding reports to our Food Trucks/Street Food collection.
We love the constantly updated information, including links to websites, provided by Hub Food Trucks! Thanks Steve Leibowitz for your devotion to this wonderful Boston community. Be sure to follow Steve on Twitter to learn when he's planning a food truck meet up. (That's Steve hanging out with the Mei Mei Street Kitchen team.)
You can download the Street Food App to have schedules at your fingertips.
And, when you find a truck you love and want to find it often, follow them on social media. That way, you'll find out what's on the menu. You'll know if they are off the road for a day, have a special appearance outside their normal schedule, or are getting ready to open a brick & mortar restaurant near you.

This year, Saint Patrick's Day falls on a Sunday so I'm curious – will city and state workers in Suffolk County be off on Monday, will City Hall and the State offices in Suffolk County shut down, and will parking, trash, and liquor sales be impacted for the day? You'll find the answers below.
I do know that a lot of people will be taking advantage of the weekend date to come to Boston. Questions about where to stay, which Irish Pub to visit, and how to get around the city have popped up over on the Boston Trip Advisor forum. It looks like visitors are coming here from all over the country and especially from Ireland.
Do you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
What are your traditions for his yearly festival of all things Irish?
Basically, everything is open. But, in the past, the city has asked South Boston liquor stores and bars to cut off sales early. Here's the city's press release from last year. And, Boston.com reported that Police Superintendent William Evans said they would be doing the same this year.
Some MBTA routes in South Boston will be changed because of the parade. Here's the list. (This link will disappear after the holiday.)
We'll update as press releases come out from around the city.
