The first Thai food I ever had in Orlando was at the Oriental Market on Edgewater Drive several years ago. It was mostly a specialty shop with huge bags of jasmine rice; those long, light-purple eggplants, and boxes of lotus root and galangal. There were things that even a sophisticated city boy such as myself…

Girl, you’re gonna Carey that weight
Movie: Glitter
Movie: The Princess and the Warrior
Our Rating: 2.50 Writer/director Tom Tykwer’s follow-up to “Run Lola Run” retains a few members of that film’s cast, a smattering of its ancillary motifs (visual and philosophical) and not much else. Where Lola was a giddy ride in a motion simulator, “The Princess and the Warrior” is a slow trudge up a sadly shallow…

Dead … for now
When the Health Care Center for the Homeless, the Parramore-based organization that serves the area’s many needy residents, voted to buy a nearby $285,000 lot and expand its operations, it ran headlong into the city’s plan to revitalize the beleaguered district `”A precarious prescription,” Sept. 6`. Earlier this month, Orlando city planner Richard Unger sent…
Dreaded golf game
On Sept. 20, some 250 people packed into the Dubsdread golf course clubhouse, munching cheese and sipping booze to celebrate Roger Chapin’s foray into Orlando politics. His mother Linda’s decade of public service made the $50-a-head fundraiser a veritable who’s-who, with notables such as former mayor Bob Carr and city commissioners Patty Sheehan and Daisy…
An impossible dream?
Several years ago Rebecca Rentz sat through the kind of meetings that most citizens dread. The city wanted to know how best to change the blighted Parramore neighborhood, arguably the most-discussed community in Orlando because of its high crime rate and close proximity to downtown. At the end of the meeting, the city’s paid consultant…
More shockwaves for the Mouse
With tourists now afraid to fly, last weekend’s small bump up in attendance gave Disney World managers reason to be hopeful. Then came Monday, and the long-running slump returned. But there’s a new perspective on the financial crisis that has cut theme-park hours short and sent some workers home until further notice. After the Sept.…
Love among the ruins
As the smoke cleared from the Manhattan skyline last week, tales emerged of courage under fire, narrow escapes and a city uniting in its darkest and finest hour. This may be the greatest story of most of our lifetimes, and — evidently — it didn’t lack for good love scenes. According to an article on…
‘Steins of the times
You may not recognize his name, but there’s a good chance Doug Rhödehamel’s handiwork has given you some innocent chuckles. A mixed-media artist and product designer who devotes his mature graphic sensibility to flights of childlike whimsy, Rhödehamel is responsible for the nearly 100 installations of faux fungi — mushrooms fashioned out of paper bags…
Whistle while it works
Police in Northumbria, England, have agreed to pay Detective Brian Baker the equivalent of “several” thousand dollars (he was asking for about $25,000) to compensate him for the snoring habit he picked up, allegedly from too many years working in the evidence room where he inhaled dust from a countless number of seized marijuana plants.…
Fitness follies
This is a headache. Painfully, the media pass covering my bleeding heart reads “Not Your Average Field Trip,” with a chicken-scratch picture of a wobbly yellow bus beneath, which can only mean that once again I’m about to encounter the unbridled screams of kids set free. But that’s not what’s aching my brow. On this…
Homegrown pleasures
There I was, complaining that July to October was just too damn long to wait for the College Park Growers’ Market to start up again. And lo and behold, it’s back. Starting on Oct. 11 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and every Thursday evening thereafter, Albert Park on Edgewater Drive once again becomes a…
Beautiful creature
As the prodigal son of famed folk-music heroes Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, Rufus Wainwright might have been expected to wash up on the failure-stained shores like so many other celebrity spawn. Instead, the dramatic pop-rock pinup with the angelic voice has become a musical visionary in his own right, having just released a…
Stumbling, Bumbling, Tumbling
It was not a good day to be a member of the Orlando Lightning. Rain showers the afternoon of Sept. 8 turned their home turf, Showalter Field in Winter Park, into a 100-yard-long wet sock. Sloppy play was evident everywhere, even during warm-ups. The ball squirted through receivers’ hands the few times that quarterback Christine…
