...Hare, the world's second busiest hub, by adding more parallel runways. For the past three years, the O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP) has been gobbling up land in a 300-acre (120 hectare) "acquisition area" that comprises about 15% of the village. Ninety-five percent of the neighborhood's 542 homes are plastered with signs proclaiming them Chicago property...

Allan, his cousin Rab (guitar), Paul Donoghue (bass) and Caroline McKay (drums) hail from Dalmarnock, a gritty neighborhood where male life expectancy is just 58 years, almost two decades below the British average.

Other appointments include old wiretap devices and what appears to be a 1970s interrogation room. And then there's the venue's name, which translates as "The Firm," a colloquial name for the Stasi used in the old East Germany. And also its slogan: "Come to our place - or we'll come to yours...
