...than a quintessentially livable city where the coffee was strong, the people were friendly and the plastic was recycled. The unleashing of bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam beyond the Pacific Northwest transformed Seattle into an adjective inextricably linked to the word sound, a marketable life-style packaged in flannel and devoid of shampoo. What turns a city into a seminal music scene? Minneapolis, Minnesota, the home of proto-alternative rockers like the Replacements and Husker Du, had its moment a few years ago. So did Austin, Texas, ground zero for the Butthole Surfers; and Athens, Georgia, the birthplace...
...extremely draughty. I have read enough Alexander Dumas novels to realize the signs of consumption, and even though it has been erradicated one cannot be too careful.

She was wearing high-waisted white satin shorts over black leggings. She was sporting a vintage black leotard and Chanel flats. She even...
...rugged island has the climate of the Pacific Northwest, but without the flannel charm: freezing cold in the winter and damp in the summer, it is more suitable for salmon than people. Yet, today, flights to Sakhalin book up weeks in advance. Prices in the capital city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk are outlandishly high - $18 for a whiskey - and visitors (who usually come voluntarily now, unlike in Chekhov's time) have their pick of nightspots every bit as over-the-top as those found in Moscow...
