The first thing to consider when planning your menu is the size of your guest list and how you intend to feed them so you can plan the financials. Every catering decision you make will affect the cost, so working all those details out as early as possible will be helpful in the long run. As the couple that will be celebrating their nuptials, it may be a good idea to consider serving some of your favorite foods, as a way of making the menu more personalized and reflective of you as people. Perhaps some of your dishes could be inspired by personal moments or memories, or re- flect things you like to do together. SEE BRIDAL | 22

While three years seems to be pushing the boundary of what’s truly “temporary,” on face value the action makes sense. It’s both necessary and helpful to periodically stop and take stock, instead of robotically plowing ahead with the status quo. This is true of businesses, government processes and policies, relationships and, in this case, an art collective. It is time to take, if not a cold look, at least an objective one, at the structure, processes and product of the Torpedo Factory. The center’s lease is due for renewal. A report by consulting firm The Cultural Planning Group suggested major changes to the confusing gover- nance structure that guides the center. We are also in the beginning stages of a once-in-a-generation re- newal of our city’s waterfront. There will never be a better time to reassess, and the city’s takeover provides stability in the interim. And as city officials rightly note, it is easier to make an informed, unhur- ried decision on the future of the Torpedo Factory’s governance with- out a lease negotiation looming. That the Torpedo Factory is so many things is part of its charm, but also the cause of what could fairly be labeled an identity crisis. The center’s very name comes from its history as a munitions plant Your Views from the end of World War I through World War II. Yet the percentage of the 500,000 annual visitors who visit the center because of this history are surely disappointed that the entirety of the BIDs are good for local businesses site’s museum aspect is one torpedo with a bulletin board above it.
