...operations. When Sullivan was chosen by his colleagues for a second term as mayor in January 2004, he became only the fourth major since World War II to serve consecutive terms. Council members traditionally take turns holding the position, and the process of choosing a mayor can drag on in contentious behind-the-scenes negotiations. In 2004, several councillors who wanted to be mayor themselves ended up supporting Sullivan, because they said he could build the necessary coalition to lead the council.And, two years later, Councillor E. Denise Simmons says that Sullivan has been a unifying force...
Cambridge’s popular vintage store, The Garment District, could easily be mistaken for a drag show dressing room. Or RuPaul’s closet. But a soap factory? Probably not. However, the warehouse-like store best known for its eccentric style and $1.50 per pound clothing is actually housed in a former soap factory. The walls have long since been covered in fuchsia paint and Led Zeppelin posters, but according to the store’s co-owner, Brooke Fletcher, the building is “the last of its kind...
...Seoul's efforts to increase cooperation are driven in part by fears that the chaos that would accompany a political and economic collapse in North Korea would drag down its own economy.

On Michigan Avenue, the city's main drag, cars full of whooping, face-painted fans slowed traffic to a crawl. In the blue-collar Southside Bridgeport neighborhood, Sox home turf, giddy mobs of grown-ups in Sox regalia (a few of whom appeared old enough to have been around for the last Sox win) descended on the closed...
...Drag City) 4/5 Stars Silver Jews frontman David Berman is a published poet (his 1999 volume “Actual Air” was released to much critical acclaim), and he brings his unique literary sensibility to each of the group’s records. Perhaps because of Berman’s strange proclivities, the Silver Jews have never achieved the (comparative) popularity of some of their alt-country contemporaries: Wilco and Ryan Adams especially. Berman savors the absurd, and his songs abound with bizarre characterizations and nonsensical turns of phrase. Berman’s genius is his ability...
