Tweeter started as a Massachusetts store. Some 35 years ago when HiFi was the rage and WiFi was wasn't even on the radar, the electronics chain got its start here in Boston.

Well, you can also go to Boston College tonight at 7:30 PM, Gasson 100, 140 Commonwealth Ave. to see him read from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. So where's the life advice there? When in doubt, check out the college scene. When people read/play/what-have-you at colleges, it's often smaller and better.
