After the tiger attack and ensuing chaos at the San Francisco Zoo, here's some good zoo news, for a change. The New England Aquarium is welcoming many new arrivals. An anaconda celebrated the new year by giving birth to 14 little ones.
As Bostonist did with books, we've tackled best of/worst of lists for movies. Not only are we including the latest best of/worst of lists, but we dug through each list to find which movies impressed every single critic and which ones were absolutely appalling. Here are links for recent "Best Of" lists:
--As Bostonist reported last night, two young men were stabbed and one left in critical condition at the Back Bay T stop. The incident shut down the station for almost two hours.
Every once in a while a webcast comes around that Bostonist just adores. Of course, we want to share this adoration and what better way to accomplish this than to drop a review on the intertubes for your consumption? This week we review a 'cast that is produced by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: The Concert.
As Bostonist loves to remind our dear readers, there is a race for governor going on in this Commonwealth. We realize you'd rather focus on baseball and American Idol, but damn it, we're highbrow. As you may have heard, there was a gubernatorial debate last night, featuring democrats Chris Gabrieli, Tom Reilly, and Deval Patrick, and the independent Christy Mihos. Bostonist listened to the debate on the radio and our feeling was, "meh." But we're...
As Bostonist's non-lawyer friends stumble into work today and read the paper, they keep e-mailing us and asking, "Bostonist, you law-talking person, how is it that the Supreme Judicial Court can rule that a ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional generally, but OK when applied to out-of-state couples?" Allow us to explain. This case involves a challenge to an old law that says no one from out-of-state can get married here if they would be...
This weekend the City of Boston and Life is Good hope that 30,000 carved up pumpkins show up on the Boston Common. This Saturday, October 22, carved pumpkins, or pumpkins to carve can be brought to the Common with a votive candle to be included in the record breaking attempt. Keene, NH owns the current record of most lit jack-o-lanterns in one place. They managed to get 28,952 pumpkins lit and in one place to...
Fear of commitment when it comes to marriage is not uncommon among men - just ask Tom Reilly. As Bostonist has noted before, the position of the Attorney General and Democratic frontrunner for the governorship on same-sex marriage has not toed the state party's pro-gay marriage line. His decision yesterday to certify an anti-gay marriage ballot question that could amend the state constitution is too legally complex to lend itself to the sort of snide,...
As Bostonist walked home from a very important post-work meeting (Happy Hour), we were a little confused when we came to the Park Street T stop to find it surrounded by police cars, ambulances, and blocked off with yellow "Police Line: Do Not Cross" tape. At first, we assumed that some T skidded off the tracks or someone passed out due to the heat in one of those special unair-conditioned cars that we all love. Bostonist got little answers from the Transit Police who told us to walk up Tremont to the Boylston. As we walked to the next stop, we came across droves of people waiting at the bus stop. It wasn't looking good and it got worse when arriving at the Boylston stop, when the T worker simply yelled "Nope. Closed" at us. Bostonist took a chance and walked into the Arlington T station and it was actually functioning. After tuning into the always hyped Fox 25 News at 10, we learned that a bomb threat was called in to Police, directing them to the Park Street T stop. Of course, the MBTA's website mentioned nothing of the delays or threat.
Two stories about meter maids, and some questions for our dear readers:
resource when you're looking to go the miserly route. We were reminded of this last Friday when we had a chance to see one of Berklee's many great jazz ensembles for the lovely price of $0. That sparked our curiosity. so we wandered over to the Berklee site to see what else they have going on this week. Question: How many free live music events can one college offer in a day? Answer: Eleven. Bostonist was particularly interested in the "Music of Bob Marley" concert this afternoon. Dear Diary: Jackpot.
As Bostonist readers may recall, the First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain went up in flames on January 18th, on one of those particularly frigid nights we'd rather forget. Pastor Ashlee Wiest-Laird hasn't forgotten. She is leading an effort to rebuild, even at an estimated cost of ten million dollars.
For an appetizer to the Patriots game Sunday night, flip on NESN at 7:30 and check out a great Boston team that is flying under the radar. Craig Smith, Jared Dudley, and Jermaine Watson will not disappoint.
