INTERVIEW: A PEOPLE’S GUIDE TO GREATER BOSTON

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted August 21, 2020 Filed Under: A+E, Books, Interviews

A People's Guide to Greater Boston

“A People’s Guide to Greater Boston,” out now from the University of California Press, is a very readable text but one that’s hard to define. A guide book with a historical, left-wing perspective, it is both thoroughly well-researched and pleasing to the eye: a high-production-value text and a far-reaching survey of important sites in and around the city.

HOME TASTE, ARLINGTON: SECOND TIME’S A CHARM FOR HUMBLE LITTLE NOODLE SPOT

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted August 30, 2019 Filed Under: Eats, LIFESTYLE

When Home Taste first opened in Arlington Heights, its menu was quite limited, but now there is much to choose from, though for many the menu begins and ends with hand-pulled noodles.

BLUE HILL METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORY: A LANDMARK HIGH ABOVE BOSTON (AND ON THE CITY’S DOORSTEP)

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted July 26, 2019 Filed Under: GTFO, LIFESTYLE

Here you’ll find jaw-dropping views, rugged trails, steep cliffs, bubbling brooks, deep woods, an observation tower with picnic tables at the base, and a weather observatory that’s easily one of the true hidden jewels of the Greater Boston area.

INTRODUCING: BOSTONERS

Written by DIG STAFF Posted May 29, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Comedy, Talking Joints Memo

I often wonder if when I’m 90 on my deathbed if I’ll look back on the 100 hours I spent playing Skyrim fondly, or as a waste of time. Hopefully I’ll be so baked I don’t give a shit.

THE SOMERVILLE LANE … AND THE LONG ROAD TO A BIKEABLE BEACON STREET

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted July 16, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

"The Beacon-Hampshire corridor is the single busiest bike corridor in Massachusetts, and that’s why Somerville is building a protected bike like along a stretch of Beacon Street. That’s where the bike lane is raised a few inches off the street and separated from vehicles by a curb."
