It’s fast, fun, healthy, eco\\-friendly, and free, and in a city where public transportation shuts down at 12:30 on most nights, it’s great to have autonomy in one’s own transportation. There are few sensations lovelier than whizzing through town on a beautiful day, unencumbered by schedules and crowded train cars.\n”}},{“type”:”html”,”data”:{“text”:” More
Summertime is coming to a close. Before too long, the streets will be icy and impassable for most of the two-wheeled among us (though if you’re one of those folks who rides through the Boston winter, we salute you). Gone are those halcyon days of long-wearing sunlight and ampler free time, but in many ways, now is the perfect time to hop on a bike and go for an ambitious ride around the area. For one, the sweltering humidity of Boston’s infamous summers is dissipating, making it comfortable to ride for long hours. Plus, nothing beats the changing foliage, roadside tomato and pumpkin vendors, and abundance of adorable open markets of a New England fall. Here, a few of our favorite 5-to-20 mile rides around the area perfect for autumnal cruising. More
In the grand scheme of things, 2004 wasn’t that long ago. We still live our lives in basically the same way. Many of the cultural mores and conventions of that year still hold today, and we love the products of a decade ago with the same fervor as when they emerged (“Mean Girls” remains the most quoted movie ever). Still, a lot has changed — especially in the arena of fashion. No, the difference isn’t as readily available as if we were wearing waistcoats and corsets a decade ago, but the styles have inevitably changed. Take a look at how the trends have shifted from the year that Facebook was invented (yes, really). More

How did you play when you were a child? Maybe you were one of the athletic kids, racing the other kids across the asphalt and inventing new games. Maybe you were curious and enterprising, concocting experiments with the condiments in your fridge. Maybe you spent those endless days getting lost in a box of crayons, or in the pages of a comic book. No matter how we chose to play as tykes, the pure joy we felt in doing so is something most of us continue to chase well into our adult lives. It never gets easier to let go of our everyday burdens and enjoy a simple game — in fact, it only seems to get harder year by year.
A live performance is a moment in time, ephemeral and impossible to explain to others. In most cases, you had to be there to understand the magic. This truth comes hard to the many fans, young and old, of classic bands from decades past — we may never again see a bell-bottomed Roger Daltrey and swinging his microphone around the stage, or Ray Charles charming the pants off a stadium crowd — but in a digital age, all hope is not lost.
