That's right, I'm a horrible parent for not wanting to have to constantly talk to my kids about beer ads because they were EVERYWHERE when I used to ride.

Banning those ads on public transportation, if you allow riders under the required age, seems perfectly reasonable.

Well he is not Marion Berry - Bostonians can be proud of Menino... The voters did not believe the accusations of opposition... as false as they were.

I loved O'Neill's "Long Days Journey Into Night"...it was refreshing to see that family dysfunction actually existed in the 50's, despite the rosy portrayal depicted in sitcoms of the time such as "Father Knows Best" and "Leave it to Beaver"!

The story of a pregnant woman, murdered in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood, gripped the city and the newsmedia. But few people were skeptical of her husband's story — that a black gunman did it — a story that forced a tense city to reflect. WBUR's Delores Handy remembers, 20 years later.
