Warby Parker: Hey Beantown!  →
warbyparker: Big news. Huge. Colossal. It’s official: we’re opening a store on Friday, May 17th in the heart of Boston’s historic Newbury Street. Although we’re based in Manhattan, we’ve had our eyes on Boston for a while. (We’re leaving the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry in New York, we swear.)…

Death of a Racehorse, By W.C. Heinz →
Knowing myself I will likely re-post this on Derby Day, but I am getting so excited I couldn’t help posting tonight. While not about the Kentucky Derby, this is the finest piece of sportswriting you will ever have the chance to read - it happens to be about horse racing.  If you’ve never had the chance to witness the sport in person I suggest you change that reality. Enjoy this...

“This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
– In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion. She wrote, “This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.” American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece of literary criticism he had ever...

Terror at the Boston Marathon →
With thousands of runners still on the course at the Boston Marathon, two explosions rocked Boylston Street just yards from the finish line. The blasts ripped through crowded spectator viewing stands. The death toll as we publish stands at three and is expected to rise, with over 140 others injured and transported to local hospitals. No arrests have been made. I can’t. I was blocks...

One more thing...
I grew up in and around Boston. I live in Somerville. I was downtown today. I have nothing smart to say. I love you all - here in the Boston area and throughout the rest of the world. Kindness and love is stronger than anything else.

Boston, today
I was downtown in Boston today. A few friends and I spent the day like many of our fellow Boston area residents did. A friend of mine ran the marathon in one of the amateur waves… she was half a mile from the finish line as the explosions happened. I don’t have anything smart to say right now. I am heartbroken that this has happend - a child died and hundreds of innocent people are...

PER FRANCESCA →
Written by: Tom Southam “Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” – Ernest Hemingway Sometimes you just walk into a bar and fall in love with a girl. It happens all the time to me, and not just in bars. In restaurants, shops, train stations, dry cleaners, wherever. There are so many girls I fall in love with and yet almost none of them will ever...
