Marty's Site has New Plan The owners of the Marty's Liquor Store site at Harvard and Commonwealth Avenues in Allston have come up with a new plan for the property, one involving a mix of retail and residential use. A representative of co-owner Martin Siegal was to meet Thursday night with the South Allston Neighborhood Association board to present the latest design plan. According to Bernard Shadrawy Jr., a spokesman for Siegal, the three-story building would feature a first-floor retail space that would include a new Marty's and some smaller stores. The top two stories would be 24 apartments, with most of them two-bedroom units. While stating that rental prices have not been determined yet, Shadrawy said they would most likely be market rate. Shadrawy noted that the property meets the Interim Pl~nning Overlay District's 35-foot height Joseph Perere of Perere Construction shows enthusiasm for his work on the caretaker's bouse at standard, and said every effort was made to make the Evergreen Cemetery in Brighton.

  • Arthur Et Manon How Important Is Sport in Boston and at School
    Article : Arthur et Manon How important is sport in Boston and at school ? In American schools, the students finish every day at 2:30 pm because they have trainings. Needham high school proposes a lot of sports, such as dancing, rugby, soccer, football, basketball, baseball… When we went to the high school we could notice the importance of sport by the way they dress. They wear sport outfit every day whereas in France, we wear street outfit. After school not everyone practices sport, they also have artistic and computer science clubs. During their sport class, they also have social and moral activities. They can watch movies, play several games. Above any other sport, football is the most popular in high school. There is a game every Friday night, and some of the team outfit are on sell, like t-shirt, sweaters...They can organize sport events in high school and college. Students can have a grant thanks to sport to enter a great college. In Needham people mostly practice sports to be fit and to avoid overweight. Every school has its own team in every sport and for example at Needham high school sport infrastructures are huge. There is a football field, a baseball one and a gym for several sports. Sport is very important in the American culture and it attracts a lot of media coverage for example in restaurants. We ate at “buffalo wild wings”, there were a lot of televisions with different sports on each one for them. In Boston, there are famous teams, like “The Patriots” (American football), “The Red Sox” (Baseball), “The Celtics” (NBA, Basketball), “The Boston Bruins” (Ice Hockey).

  • Composing Digital Community Spaces: Design and Literacy Practices In/Of the Archive
    1 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE A dissertation presented by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2016 2 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation offers a case study of Our Marathon: The Boston Bombing Digital Archive & WBUR Oral History Project by exploring the relationships between the creation of the archive, the use of the archive, and the narratives the archive tells on its surface and in its stories. More specifically, it looks at how Our Marathon adheres to/departs from traditional archives through its state as a digital archive, its attempt to both historicize and memorialize an event, and its focus as a community project. This dissertation takes advantage of offering a real-time examination of the digital archive’s role in capturing the artifacts and reflective practices of people affected by the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombings through a mixed-methods approach; it draws upon primary research, the archive itself, and the researcher’s own participation in designing and building the space. To add to ongoing conversations on digital archives in Rhetoric and Composition scholarship, because of the complicated nature of the term “community” and because of a gap in understanding how these types of digital community sites function in the world, this dissertation aims to open up a conversation on building spaces for public writing and how the sponsors of these spaces impact participation and representation.

Website, book conversion & publication by Kendrick * * * "You see that woman who walks the street. You see that police on his beat. But when the Lord gets ready, You gotta move." "You Gotta Move" by Mississippi Fred McDowell as sung by The Rolling Stones CHAPTER 1 "I'm dead," the white guy said, walking into my office. The guitar I had been strumming I propped against the wall. "Who put out the contract on you?" I asked. "Mafia?" "No contract. I'm already dead." "Practical joke, right? Who put you up to it? Phoenix Chan? Had to be." "No joke," the guy frowned. "I'm dead. Simple." "My condolences," I said. "Sorry I missed the funeral." "I'm serious. I'm dead. And I want to hire you to find out who killed me." CHAPTER 2 The guy already looked half-dead. Tall, pale, stick-thin, haggard, hollow-eyed, unshaven, disheveled hair, voice a hoarse croak, deep sorrow stamped into his features. Thirty-five or forty. Wearing only torn blue t-shirt and shabby blue jeans and sneakers. "Why do you believe someone killed you?" I asked. "I'm dead, aren't I?" the guy said, indignantly. He was serious. "What's your name?" I asked. "Not sure." "You must be hungry. Let's get a bite. Like Chinese food?" "I never eat," he said. "What's the point? I'm dead." "Have to ask.

Today's story was written by Walker. Note to our readers: Race is one of the most important issues facing Boston. Because of that, the Globe has made this story free and available to everyone. When a Washington Redskins player this fall complained that some fans shouted the n-word at him during a game in Kansas City, some big things happened quickly. The media swarmed the story, the controversy went viral, and the NFL began an investigation. But one thing didn’t result: Almost no one asked if Kansas City is a racist place. In Detroit, a Lions fan used that same slur against black fans in a Snapchat post during a game — yet subsequent media coverage did not frame Detroit as a bigoted city. And in Pittsburgh, a local fre chief became enraged over the Steelers’ participation this year in the national anthem protests.
