Photo by Phillyist's Matt Johnson, SkyscraperSunset.com, December 19, 2007. Phillyist explored an impending implosion and lived to tell the tale.Gothamist marveled at the city's new NYC-branded condom campaign - especially the use of a Toronto landmark in the advertising. (Also, fun fact: Gothamist turned five years old yesterday.)Tired of the worldwide Scientology protests? Torontoist totally isn't: they covered the big downtown protest the day it happened, and followed up with an examination of all......

Regardless of how you think he would have fared in 2006, one must admit that Bronson Arroyo was screwed over by the Red Sox organization. He plunks down money on a new house in Boston. He agrees to a hometown discount, $11.2 million contract (over three years) with the Sox, which was pretty much the one thing his agent didn't want him to do. And then the guy is promptly traded off to Cincy for......

A 17-year-old from Roslindale was arrested for stealing a gun from an MBTA agent at the Chinatown stop last night. The surveillance photos provided by the MBTA show Nelson Otuechere of Roslindale accosting a T agent to get her sidearm. Joe Pesaturo at the MBTA said that all MBTA revenue agents carry sidearms. (This Bostonist did not realize.) Another agent leapt into the fray and stopped the teenager, who was promptly arrested by MBTA......

H Bomb, the Harvard University sex magazine, vanished for reasons that had nothing to do with scabies. Last year, the people who ran H Bomb lost their status as an official student group. But ">Lingbo Li at the Crimson revealed this week that H Bomb is back in the school's good graces, and they will publish a new magazine on February 14. H Bomb only published two issues, but a new editor, Martha ‘Martabel’ Wasserman,......

--After his picture was splashed all over the TV and Internets, the guy who allegedly stabbed two people at Park Street Station after the Red Sox Rally Monday night has been arraigned on two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury. Christopher Casey, 22, of Dorchester, was rounded up by T police last night. Bail was set at $25,000. --How about this for a reversal? You'd think law enforcement......

--Early this morning, two people were shot to death in Roxbury. Another person was shot in the fray and somehow managed to get himself to a police station. He is in critical condition. WBZ says sixteen rounds were fired. --Citizens may have an outlet for keeping an eye on the BPD. Mayor Menino put together a three-member panel that will start looking at complaints from city residents against the BPD. However, the panel doesn't have......

We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists. Austinist happily anticipated fall's Austin City Limits, even though they're not fully recovered from South By Southwest. In......

--A little while back, an angry dad entered the fray when his kid got in a fight with a 10-year-old after a hockey match. Not only is that embarrassing for the guy's own son, but it's really embarrassing when a 46-year-old man sees fit to wail on a little kid. Now the Hopedale dad has been charged for his actions. Let this be a lesson to any potential parents out there: When your kid gets......

Just as the news outlets were questioning if they'd gone overboard on the Anna Nicole Smith coverage, Bostonist felt a tad envious. It seemed as if all the other -ists, including Houstonist, LAist, Phillyist, and Gothamist, had a connection to the dead model/pinup/reality-show star/trainwreck. But now Boston can join in the fray! The Globe has showcased a distant link to Smith - a doctor who received his medical degree from Boston University is in trouble......

New Hampshire has been feeling the rays of national media attention thanks to numerous announcements from aspiring presidential candidates. The state is already getting ready for the politicians, the journalists, and Wolf Blitzer. New Hampshire has announced upcoming debates at Saint Anselm College on April 4 and April 5. The eminent Mr. Blitzer will moderate the fray. Not to be overshadowed by CNN, Fox News is also planning a Republican debate. Newly declared candidate Senator......

Celtics 110, Wizards 115: Look at that score! Bostonist was worried that the Celtics would be wiped out by Gilbert "Agent Zero" & Co., but the Wizards must've been checked out. The Celtics tied the game, but the Wizards won in overtime. The valiant Celtics were Ryan Gomes, who scored 31, and Al Jefferson, who scored 23. The Bruins lost to Ottawa zero to three yesterday, but a pretty big rumble broke out on the......

To celebrate the return of PBR (Professional Bull-Riding not Pabst Blue Ribbon) to the DCU Center, the Fox Morning News Crew took a trip to the Liquor Store so they could ride the mechanical bull. Watching Gene, VB, Doug, and Q attempt to ride a bull is priceless entertainment. Kim Carrigan is notably absent from the fray, as she probably needed to make a hair appointment. The rest of the Fox Morning News Crew......

WBOS' EarthFest played host to upwards of 100,000 people yesterday – with nearly 7,000 of them waiting in line not for music, but to turn in their losing scratch tickets. The Herald reports on a bad experience had by one man trying to redeem 60,000 losing instant win tickets, while the Globe reports a win for recycling on the day as The Lottery reclaimed 50 tons of paper. For every 25 losing tickets returned a......
