Posted on October 3, 2012 | Leave a comment

Adelson Gallery at 520 Harrison Avenue opens in the South End this Friday.  The neighborhood’s newest gallery will focus on contemporary and modern art according to director, Adam Adelson.  The gallery opening coincides with  the monthly artist / gallery walk called  First Friday’s in the South End.

Friday night’s reception will include a cocktail reception for Andrew Stevovich: Games and Players, an exhibition of recent works by the artist which continues through November 17th. Future plans include exhibiting the work of Jacob Collins, Marcus Reichert, and Winfred Rembert.  Chalk up this South End resident as wicked happy to see this addition to the neighborhood.  Best of luck to Adelson Galleries.

South End development underway

Posted on October 2, 2012 | Leave a comment

A few weeks ago I mentioned on my blog the city of Boston had approved a new hotel and residences to be built just a few blocks from my home.  I am so happy to hear that space currently used as a parking lot near Interstate 93 will be redesigned and add space for residents and commercial purposes.

I have paired a photo from Google Maps with the image of the proposed development offered by the Boston Redevelopment Authority.  The $165  million dollar project will include 3-story parking garage, 19-story residential tower, and a 11-story hotel that has 325 “micro-rooms” (I have no idea what a micro room is but I don’t care since I live two blocks away and hopefully will never need to make use of the rooms).

This development happens to be next to the neighborhoods largest redevelopment plan that is currently underway called the Ink Block (shown above). The  project revitalizes 6 acres of land previously owned and occupied by the Boston Herald Newspaper.  The Ink Block plans propose multiple buildings of mixed use space with more than 470 rental residential units, retail space (including a 50,000 square foot Whole Foods) and 400+ below ground parking lot.

Wrestler or porn star

Posted on October 2, 2012 | 1 comment

Last week BuzzFeed published a post entitled Wrestler or Porn Star, that I thought was absolutely hilarious.

Looking to kill some time and want a good chuckle?  Check out the post and see how you do. I’m sure you’ll guess correctly more often than I did.

My score 5 correct / 10 wrong  😦

This reminds me of that rule in fashion so often ignored, “just because they make it in your size doesn’t mean you should wear it.”

These two classy Bostonians (actually Cantabrigians) still look great.  How I wish they were a gay couple who purchased the condo next door. I can imagine evenings playing scrabble and long, serious discussions about which designer on Project Runway we like best.

Are babies born naked?

Posted on October 1, 2012 | 1 comment

Periodically, my sister emails me conversations she has with her kids.  Last week she sent the following email:

AUSTIN:  Mommy, when you’re born are you naked or do you have clothes on?

MOM: Naked, Austin. Everyone is naked when they are first born.

AUSTIN:  Giggle. Giggle… Isn’t it so funny that everyone is born naked? Is it awkward?

Scott Herman – NH native

Glum that the weekend is rapidly coming to an end? Me too so I thought I’d post a photo of Scott Herman, who is from New England.  Not only is he incredibly easy on the eyes, but he’s a great LGBT ally.

Tempest Home Video: volume 3 Boston

Posted on September 30, 2012 | 1 comment

The way this guy was jumping, twirling and scaling walls made me wonder if he was channeling Spiderman. I wish I could do this, but I’d probably end up on a stretcher going to the hospital.
