Make tracks
When we first started business 10 years ago at Church Street,” says Oscar Lagos, owner of Choo Choo Churros, “we had a small cart that we sold fried pastries from – churros. And since there was the train there, my wife named it Choo Choo Churros.” From that small cart the Lagos moved to a…
Review – The Herethereafter
Artist: Miranda Lee Richards
A tale of two disasters
On a cold night in December 1995, disaster struck the town of Lawrence, Mass., an economically depressed community in the rolling hills of New England’s once burgeoning manufacturing heartland. A huge explosion rocked the Malden Mills textile plant, followed by a fire that destroyed three of the four structures on the property and injured 33…
Just shoot me
Detrick Washington, 25, was sent to jail after preventing the armed robbery of his concert-promotion business in San Francisco. Two robbers had entered Washington’s loft and threatened to kill him and his staff if he didn’t give them all the cash. Washington grabbed one robber’s gun and shot him dead; another person shot the other…
Taking his licks
Talk to me about pain. “Pain? I hate pain. I’m a big wuss,” oozes Slymenstra, goddess of the sideshow-riffic, nationally toured Girlie Freak Show and former pain mistress of shock rockers Gwar. “That’s why I make all the other girls in the show walk on glass, lay on nails, and hit themselves over the head…
Jumping the gun over a frog
If you amble around the Disney/MGM Studios theme park this fall, you’ll see a lot more of the Muppets. Walking characterizations of Kermit, Miss Piggy and Sweetums play a very prominent role in Disney/MGM’s new daily “Stars & Motor Cars” parade, as the Jim Henson characters wave to guests up and down the parade route.…
Cut off at the pass
It is Saturday morning in the freshman’s cafeteria of Edgewater High School in College Park. From the looks of things, the few people in the room would rather be anywhere else but here for the last of seven public meetings meant to gather complaints about the largest government in Central Florida, Orange County Public Schools.…
TV time for city council
Orlando city government slowly continues to move forward with plans to begin broadcasting council meetings on Orange TV, probably next spring. A seven-member technical advisory committee will meet Nov. 7 to begin hashing out the city’s strategy. That committee will oversee the bidding process for equipment, the remodeling of City Hall to accommodate a control…
Gray lady in waiting
A few weeks ago a friend of mine had a mid-30s birthday for which her mother bought her a great many dollars’ worth of anti-aging cream. It is one thing to look in the mirror and notice that time has faded you around the edges a little, like a photograph obviously shot on that 110…
Dead to rights
Halloween, Halloween … it makes us all go a little crazy, doth it not? Of courth it doth. Tops on the list of this year’s Samhain strangeness is the flight of Goth apparel boutique Nyte-Mere’s from its former home at Magnolia Avenue and Central Boulevard. After a final code violation on the part of the…
Admitting Terror
The Immigration and Naturalization Service had terror ringleader Mohamed Atta in its grasp before the Sept. 11 attacks. Then the agency, which stands on the domestic frontline in the war on terrorism, let him go. The 34-year-old Egyptian arrived at Miami International Airport earlier this year on a flight from Spain. His intention, he told…
A world of good eatin’
Time to eat your way around the planet again from the comfort of your own backyard Global Village. The 6th annual Epcot International Food and Wine Festival runs through Nov. 18, and for the price of admission plus a few bucks you can harvest some new taste experiences. Almost every pavilion has a special booth…
Relative success
These are tough times for the struggling musician. Independent labels — safe havens for musical creative freedom and DIY ethics — are finding themselves increasingly caught up in the corporate structuring and subsequent artistic politics laid out in the shadow of the mass-marketing major labels. Not so for John Janick and his impressive Gainesville-based imprint,…
Tex-metalists lose that sinking feeling
By now, you’ve heard of the infamous list of “suggested” songs that Clear Channel Communications deemed possibly in poor taste for radio broadcast after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. While the much-talked about memo induced more than a few chuckles from coast to coast, it also served as a reminder of the effects of the…
