For those who may have missed Jordan’s post earlier this week, or otherwise haven’t ventured downtown lately, Paul Wash’s photo pretty much sums up the scene near King and Princess.  It’s all in an effort to replace some ancient sewer system.  But what sort of impact will it have on downtown businesses, rather what’s left [...]

This past Friday, Harvey and I and a couple of friends went to The Mansion to check out Pico de Gallo.  I had heard about this band over and over again but had yet had a chance to actually see them.  I’m so glad I finally did.
