--Where have all the gay bars gone? Robert David Sullivan writes that we should be concerned about their disappearance: "In the Boston area, many of Harvard Square's bookstores, Kenmore Square's student eateries, and myriad other places that guaranteed a diverse urban experience have closed their doors, replaced by a far more uniform lineup of bank branches, chain stores, and upscale restaurants." A must-read. [Boston Globe]
--If you haven't noticed with the cold temperatures and long lines of hoarders at the grocery, snow is in the forecast, particularly overnight. [WBZ]
--The Postal Service is finally sorting out the mess that is Zip Codes in Roslindale and West Roxbury. [Boston Globe]
--A ballot question would eliminate income tax in Massachusetts. Because we don't need the money, right? [WHDH]
--Guess there's no chance of a Nipplegate at this year's Super Bowl, either. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are playing the halftime show. [Boston Herald]

OK, so Mr. Sullivan wants to be part of the mainstream, yet be edgy and iconoclastic. He wants acceptance, with the simultaneous ability to complain about not being accepted. He wants to spend "hours at a time, sitting and talking", while complaining that the real estate values, (which he helped create) are preventing it. Say, gay people ARE just like the rest of us!
