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.

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

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."
