Culinary Ethnic Cleansing: Italians Must Eat Italian Dishes

Food, one of my favorite subjects. I’m rather distraught at the idea any country could attempt to ban something so wonderful as a variety of it.

NY Shoes

This is a story I want to try to tell without using brand names, and it should be pretty easy, at least the way that I’ve been thinking it in my head. This is a story about shoes, and generations, and how material things sometimes do make a difference. The differences they make, however, are [...]

Underground Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne holds a special place in the hearts of those who’ve spent any time here. This is one of those rare midwestern cities that’s had to live under the shadow of the Norman Rockwell image of what a town was supposed to be like. The difficult part for most of these towns, is that [...]

Young Actor Lands Role in New York

My parents and even some of my friends told me I was pipe dreaming when I mentioned that I might want to pursue a career in acting. And mind you, I know that this is not a common ambition, nor is it usually encouraged by parents and for obvious reasons. Heck even in Elizabethan times [...]
