Charlotte will be thrilled to hear that an advance team is actively scouting locations in Boston and Lexington to shoot an upcoming film about the ride of Paul Revere. (via this blog, by way of Universal Hub)

Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
