And last week, the Chamber was the victim of an elaborate media hoax, when activists put out a fake press release and held a phony news conference announcing the Chamber's supposed shift in its controversial climate change...

Many residents will sit on their front porches, watching for prospective arsonists. Wooden boards have been placed across the doors and windows of vacant buildings to keep out intruders. On street posts and buildings across the city, there are signs saying, "THIS BUILDING IS BEING WATCHED," above a sketch of a set of human eyes.
