Eat Local: There Are Still Plenty of Treats to Be Enjoyed
With the nights drawing in and the first snow having fallen (albeit a very light dusting!) Winter is well and truly on its way. That doesn’t mean that seasonal treats are lacking, though; now is the time for hearty winter squashes, robust leafed greens, warm spices and sweet roasted nuts and dried berries. Roasting is […]
The Downcity Holiday Social Is Back and Better Than Ever
There’s nothing like the city at Christmas — twinkling lights, ice skaters, bustling shoppers excitedly ticking items off their Christmas lists. And this year, InDowncity is teaming up with Aurora and Cornish Associates to give shoppers one more reason to head for the excitement of downtown. Every Saturday, from Nov 29 through Dec 20, shoppers […]

Theater offers so much in the way of great positive interaction with other creatives all working toward one common goal. It’s a vast soup poured into […]
Book Review: Lt. Michael Morse’s Rescuing Providence
Emergency services used to get a bad rap before September 11, 2001. After that day, there wasn’t a firefighter or police officer who wasn’t looked at as a hero. Rescue drivers (or emergency medical technicians (EMTs)) always seemed to be the forgotten middle children — not as flashy as the firefighters and not as visible as […]
