Boston is a favorite city for Millennials and Boomers

Posted on April 23, 2016 | Leave a comment

Has Spring Sprung in Boston?Today, Boston is home to the largest proportion of Millennials of any major US city. People age 20 to 34 make up more than a third of Boston’s population, with even higher percentages in Cambridge (44.5%) and Somerville (44%).

Juxtapose that fact with news that realtor.com has now named Boston as the city most empty nestors want to flock to in 2016. This older demographic of retirees 65- 74 are attributed with fueling the demand for the many luxury condominiums going up all over downtown Boston.

According to realtor.com, this demographic no longer want the responsibilities associated with home ownership and many are selling the homes they raised their families and moving into urban centers where they can walk to meet friends for a coffee, go shopping or see a show.

Street pianos will return to Boston in September

Posted on April 23, 2016 | Leave a comment

pianoIn September 2013 seventy-five pianos were installed in public locations across Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville for anyone to play.  The “Street Pianos Boston: Play Me I’m Yours” public piano installation was to commemorate the 75th season of the Celebrity Series of Boston.

Earlier this week The Celebrity Series of Boston reported that the popular art installment Play, Me, I’m Yours will return to Boston this fall (September 23-October 10, 2016). This time, sixty pianos will be decorated by local artists and spread across every neighborhood in Boston and select Cambridge locations.

However, before the pianos hit the streets of Boston, each piano will become a piece of visual art, created by a local artist. Celebrity Series is asking visual artists of all backgrounds, artistic abilities and mediums to apply to decorate one of the sixty pianos that will be available to the public this fall. Artist applications will be accepted through May 25 at streetpianosboston.org.

It has been reported that Prince has died

Posted on April 21, 2016 | 2 comments

PrinceFrom HuffingtonPost Prince, the legendary musician who brought us countless hits, such as “Purple Rain” and “When Doves Cry,” has died, TMZ reports. He was 57. The award-winning artist died on Thursday at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. The cause of death has yet to be released.

News of Prince’s death has hit me the way many said they felt when David Bowie’s passing was reported. Not only was his music incredibly influential but his string of hits and protégés who he nurtured and encouraged was impressive to say the least.  Although Prince’s influence had waned over the past 20 years, his legacy is impressive and it bothers me to write about his passing.

Duckie (played by Jon Cryer) in John Hughes 1986 film “Pretty in Pink”

Writer-director John Hughes defined the 1980s American high school experience with teen comedies such as “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink” and “Sixteen Candles.” CNN currently has a short online quiz that tells you which Hughes character you most resemble.

While a part of me seriously relates to Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) in Sixteen Candles, I did love Duckie from Pretty in Pink. Who would you be in the John Hughes movie universe? Take the quiz and let me know in the comments section which Hughes character you most resembled.
