Laura alluded to this guy's horrible writing, but that was the dumbest article I have ever read. It sounded like a third grade essay. I am single and I don't really hit the social scene that much, b...

the new guest number 2, Why are you being so defensive? People were just voicing their opinions on what we perceived as some faults of the map. I would love to buy one, but it would have been aweso...

This is the first time I have ever heard of "non-racist skinheads." One of the skinheads was African American. Boggles my mind. Why would any person who is a minority be associated with a group tha...

On August 18, 2007 12:56 PM in "The Lady Doth Pro-Pesto Too Much", they said:

Been hecht (13), I heard from someone who works in advertising at the Reader that the whole production crew will lose their jobs and many have been around for 10+ years. I heard that it's like a fu...

I think the concept is cool and I have been to the Armitage and Old Orchard locations, and passed by a few others, but what turns me off is how "chainy" the place feels. I am not opposed to chains pe...
