The real villain of this city was the blistering wind that rolled in from the bay. It was invasive and suffocating. If the wind wasn’t killing you, it was the humidity and intense gray heat that followed in seasonal suit. I didn’t like thinking about the change of seasons, or the inevitable, or the past. Too much had happened last Christmas for me to consider it a “joyous” time. It was the last time I watched my mother and father fall asleep. And never wake up. What was God’s use for smallpox…

DJ Cannonball’s weighty statement gets at the specificity of place and the spatial capital that came with having an apartment large enough to host South Shore house parties. It is possible that Black gay males were in search of apartments in South Shore because they offered the space needed for their parities as well as a closeness to and connection within the emerging community.

Tim’s coffee, we want it to be a positive conversation. One customer stated that the coffee taste burnt. Just look at the name Tim’s Coffee Shop. Coffee is obviously a specialty and should be treated as such. Tim’s coffee should be top notch, have rave reviews, and should definitely not taste burnt. Others patrons state that Tim’s Coffee Shoppe is easy to access, comparable to the campus, but would rather go to Tim’s competitors. The issue is that these patrons or rather customers settle…

In the history of America, there have been many individuals that have influenced the way we look at life itself. Americans are known for having countless idolized figures in pop culture, politics, and various other categories. Many of these individuals have many unique qualities that define them as icons. Those qualities make them loved because of who they are. Angelina Jolie, for one, can be seen as a motherly nurturer, an award-winning actress, or a devoted humanitarian. She is seen by many as…

is. I quickly learned that both owners take great pride in being a “home base” for many soccer fans/clubs. Over the years, Mr. Wetzel has gotten close with many of the supporters and they have helped expand the Union Jack target market. Mr. Wetzel raves about how understanding and helpful the soccer fans are. He believes that they work as a form of salespeople and advertisers for the pub. However, Mr. Wetzel makes a point to emphasize that soccer does not “run” the pub. He exclaimed “when soccer…

Love? Candide, and “The Metamorphosis”, “The Dead”, all have one major emotion in them…love. However, each one of them portrays love in a different way. All of these stories demonstrate how love is an unbreakable bond that can affect how a person behaves, and how one emotion can change a person. We all have been told at some point in our life that the way we act when we ae around certain people change depending on who the person is. When we are around a person we love, we act differently than…
