...many students, like Alexander W. Doubet ’10 wonder whether the city should have examined the situation more closely before passing the law. “After all,” Doubet says, “correlation does not equal causation.”The Roxy, in downtown Boston, is just one of the many clubs that have been affected by the change. Views on the new ban depend on whom is asked.“The city did night clubs and kids a favor,” says George M. Kaleva, co-manager of the Roxy, which...
Shaped somewhat like a very large bean?an organic form that has turned up more than once in Future Systems designs?the store gave the jumble of downtown Birmingham a glamorous new focal point.

The candidates aren't just downtown, they're in our neighborhoods, eating at our local diner, knocking on our doors, driving by in motorcades of dark-tinted jeeps. "Any calls?" my husband asked me one fairly typical day before the caucuses...
...wandering, one of the million Iraqi refugees now living in Syria. Unlike many of his refugee compatriots, Mahdi at least has a job. Every evening he performs one of the star roles in Homesick, a play written, directed and performed by Iraqi refugees at a dingy theatre in downtown Damascus for an audience composed almost entirely of other Iraqi refugees...
