While not even in the ballpark of the summer exodus to Limestone, Phish followers do travel from far and wide to crowd the Centrum to full capacity. Representing New York, Pennsylvania, and most of New England as well as various farther points of origin depending on the faithfulness of the followers, this year's crowd got to Worcester early and stayed late...
Dancing in the aisles is pretty much forbidden at the Orpheum, except directly in front of the stage, which is inaccessible except for the audience seated in the first ten rows. The exodus of patchouli-wearing folk--which diverted much of the crowd's attention from String Cheese Incident--towards the front, was effectively stopped by the bouncers at the front of each section.

...ensuing decade and a half, Wichita's home schoolers have hit adolescence. And with the legality of home schooling firmly established, home schoolers have been joined by an exodus from the city's troubled public schools.

...amount of money that flows in and out of equity mutual funds. In August, a month that included several gut-wrenching weeks, there was a net outflow of $5.4 billion, or well under 1% of the total invested in equity funds. Though this was the first such exodus since the recession and stock slump of 1990, the number is still quite modest when compared with the 4% that fled equity funds after the October 1987 correction. Last week investors pulled a net $6.2 billion out of stock funds Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday a net $6.5 billion flowed right...
