--Two months since reopening after a five year hiatus and one million dollars of renovations, the Golden Banana strip club's future is in jeopardy after a man was shot in its parking lot last night. He was hit in the shoulder and is expected to survive. The club, however, was closed for code violations in 2003, and could face penalties from Peabody officials who were already leery about the establishment being reopened. [Boston Herald]

Fun Fun Fun Fest 2007 Recap from Super!Alright! on Vimeo. Austinist attended a town hall meeting about proposed noise ordinances that could undermine the city's future as the Live Music Capital of the World, and lamented the possible loss of Texas's only feminist bookstore. Throughout the week, they interviewed a bunch of indie fashion designers and D-I-Y websites—Etsy, Ornamental Things, 31 Corn Lane, and Aorta Designs—for the upcoming Stitch Fashion Show. They also did...
We don't know about you, but it's been friggin warm out there. Well, not for some of you. It seems as though places that are supposed to be cold are warm and places that are supposed to be warm are cold. Or maybe that's just us. Either way, it's just confusing. Austinist said goodbye to their co-editor (sell-out) and played rumor monger on the SXSW lineup. And when dozens of dead birds littered downtown...
If you're like (this) Bostonist, you periodically find yourself watching the SportsCenter recap of the day's baseball games and thinking, "I sure wish I could see as much of Mo Vaughn these days as I did when he was playing for the Sox." You may also find yourself (unlike this Bostonist) in search of relatively lucrative employment that doesn't require a college degree. If so, you're in luck: The Foxy Lady strip club, which is one of Vaughn's favorites, is holding open auditions every day this month - noon to 7:00, Mondays through Saturdays, and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays (so you can go to church first). Good luck getting the job, and say "hi" to the Hit Dog from us.
Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers. Bostonist sees Boston and Somerville each whip out their art and face off. A plagiarized novel is the...
Now, Bostonist doesn't like to make light of serious matters that could, potentially, have led to tragedy, but damn, this is amusing. A woman from Brockton, formerly a waitress at a strip club there and another in Stoughton, was so fed up with mistreatment by men that she mailed condoms containing drano and gasoline (an almost-but-not-quite-explosive combination) to various locations she apparently felt were good representatives of male wrongdoing: Bridgewater State College (?!), the Taunton...
Mo Vaugn really is the strangest guy ever. We understand that the end of his baseball career wasn't so dignified, but damn, do we have to keep learning new ways in which the former Sox slugger is really weird? First, we heard that he's opening up a high-end car wash in Attleboro, which despite making sense in light of his well-known love of Providence's Foxy Lady strip club, is pretty odd. Now it has come to Bostonist's attention that at some point in the past (around 1997, we think), Vaughn helped fund the restoration of a spaceship model from the old Buck Rogers TV show. What on earth can this mean? Does Vaughn just love old sci-fi television programs (along with strippers and clean cars)? Is he somehow obsessed with Buck Rogers, who pitched two games for the Washington Senators in 1935? Or is it minor league baseball general manager Buck Rogers? Is there a reason former ballplayers have to get into such odd shit once they retire? Truly, life is a great mystery.
Stern also told Belichick that he would take him to Scores, his favorite strip club in NYC, next time he's in town visiting. Bill said he'd "like that a lot." Before hanging up with Howard, Bill said it was a "thrill" to be on the show. This man just coached his team to a third Superbowl title in 4 years and being on the radio was a "thrill"? Surprised again?
