Part of the facade of a dorm on the Northeastern campus collapsed on Monday morning. A roof renovation project has been ongoing for over a month at 337 Huntington Ave., the site of the collapse. Fifty people were evacuated and a police officer on a detail suffered minor injuries. Multiple street closures were in effect. The MBTA Green Line was also shut down.

We can't get the image of the neon red lights invading Kramer's apartment in the episode of Seinfeld when Kenny Rogers Roasters opened up a joint right outside his bedroom window. The affliction for Northeastern University residents in the proposed building wouldn't be the sleepless nights, apartment trading, and addiction to rotisserie chicken, rather perverse Village People nightmares as the YMCA sign flashes into the evening. If approved, the GrandMarc, a proposed 34 story...

If you take the D-line, all we can say is - sorry, you’re kinda screwed until August. But, don’t despair. We’re here to help you. If you’re crafty and lucky, you’re only a little bit screwed! That’s right! Remember when the new Charlie cards came out and everyone was all, "This sucks! I never take a bus. Why do I am I forced to pay for a service that I never use?" Now you can...

This afternoon, before the sloppy snow began to fall, a 22 year old man was struck by a Taxi on Huntington Ave near Forsyth St. The taxi clipped the rear wheel of the cyclist and sent him under the rear wheels of a nearby dump truck carrying a full load of scrap concrete.

When the cast and crew of the latest Scorsese flick, "The Departed" descended on Boston last year, Bostonist was excited to see some real movie stars film in the real streets of Boston (and not Toronto, Vancouver, or any other more affordable Canadian city). Unfortunately, they were only here about a month before heading down to New York City to use it as the backdrop for what is supposed to be an entire story set in Southie. We had to be happy with our fleeting glimpses of Leo, Matt, and Jack in the Herald's Inside Track every day since we knew that was all we were going to get.

Today is Bastille Day, marking the day in 1789 when French people stormed a prison known for arbitrary imprisonment on the king's orders, to show their support for the creation of a constitutional, rather than absolute, monarchy. (Trading in one sort of monarchy for another seems like a half measure these days, but it was rather something at the time.) Shortly thereafter, in August, the new French government would proclaim the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which boldly stated that all men were born free and with a right to resist oppression, except, you know, Haitians and Africans.
