About the only thing weirder than the fact that Lisa Kudrow has taken to the Internet for her new web series “Web Therapy” is that it is on a site promoted through Lexus, of all places. Not the Lexis of data warehousing fame but actually Lexus, the luxury automotive division of toyota.
Don’t call it a [...]

Are we telling Detroit as in the Big Three to drop dead or Detroit as in the city of Detroit itself to drop dead?
When New York was told to “Drop Dead” by Ford in 1975 it was in one of it’s most tumultous decades. Ten percent of the people had left the city in the [...]

It’s a sad day indeed. When a worker at WalMart has to worry about being trampled to death because a rabid angry mob of 2,000 shoppers in upstate New York that have been waiting since like, oh, 9 pm the day before not only to tear the glass doors off of the store but cause [...]

How do you want it?
Because essentially, on 808s and Heartbreak this is the question that Kanye asks his pundits as he can give it to you two ways. Quintessential, classic synth/electropop from the late seventies or early eighties or his own interpretations as to how to push those sounds forward.

Today’s epiphany; people who are looking forward to electric cars hate automobiles.

Postville Iowa, Lordstown Ohio, the list goes on. How many cities of less than 50,000 are heavily dependent on one business? I ask this question because the bankruptcy of GM could have the effect of shutting down individual small towns entirely. Too often we think about cities like Detroit, which have been [...]

There are going to be some angry taxpayers in Virginia Beach.
Now the city wants taxpayers to pony up almost twice as much to pay for the next development in Town Center, $56.4 million, which would include another Aloft hotel, 195 apartments no one can afford to live in, an actual office tower, which traditionally downtown [...]

Value City was more than just a store, it revolutionized discount shopping. Out of the lowly Schottenstein’s from Columbus Ohio and branded Valley Fair in Northern New Jersey Value City was far more than just a store, but an institution. It was but another one of those gems from Ohio that you take [...]

So our fathers did not want to play that active role in our lives. Some of us blame our mothers for that, seeing that she always had something negative to say about him and never encouraged our developing any real relationship with him. Then we do catch up with him, just to have [...]
