...earned him titles like “Rock’s last great star.” Scarily enough, he reached out so far to people that some of his fans even mimicked his suicide. While the mysteries surrounding Cobain’s death undoubtedly contribute to his legend, I don’t believe they are the primary explanation.

...literally wept at the closing of J.F. Olsson’s—a fixture on Brattle Street for 107 years. Financial troubles led the once popular Wursthaus restaurant to disappear after 79 years. And just a few years ago, Harvard Square’s Tasty restaurant, still a legend in Harvard lore, was replaced by that symbol of corporate decadence—Abercrombie and Fitch...
