Emily's Post: McDonald's settlement, Ron Johnson outspends Russ Feingold
by Emily Mills on 09/02/10 at 1:32 pm | What piques my curiosity is the fact that McD's waited two years between the city's initial payment of $56,000 in 2006 before filing a complaint that claimed $408,900 in damages. The difference between the two numbers is, quite frankly, startling. All of it stems from the fast food chain's contention that construction of the bridge disrupted the flow of drive-thru traffic and obstructed the view from the road of its big ol' golden arches. |

Wilmington on DVD: Me & Orson Welles, Ludwig: Requiem for a Virgin King, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, Harry Brown, Marmaduke
on 09/01/10 at 10:00 am | In Me and Orson Welles, Richard Linklater takes on a highly ambitious subject that really, really appeals to me -- a portrayal of the astonishing youthful theatrical triumphs of the 22-year-old Welles, his adroit and urbane (and long-suffering) producer John Houseman, and of their ingenious, experimental 1937 Mercury Theater production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. |

Fringe Foods: Cuitlacoche from Las Cazuelas
by Kyle Nabilcy on 08/31/10 at 2:00 pm | This is another one of those foods that forces you to wonder what exactly the first daring eater was thinking; infected ears of corn puff up, turn purplish-black, and grow fuzz. The Aztec name for this freaky-looking cob is cuitlacoche (also frequently spelled "huitlacoche"), which likely meant "sleeping shit." Wrapped in the husk, cuitlacoche does look a bit like a swaddled turd. So, naturally, it’s what’s for dinner. |

by Emily Mills on 08/31/10 at 9:32 am | Whoa hey, when did it get to be the last day of August already? Summer ain’t officially over, of course (I won’t let it be, dammit!) but change is definitely in the air. Herds of students wander the downtown area, at turns looking both confused and expectant. The slightest hint of a chill hangs behind the still warm air. People all across the state suddenly find themselves scrambling to pack in as much outdoor fun in the next couple of months as possible. |
