Posting our blogs on Facebook

We've made a small adjustment to our Facebook page; now, in addition to news updates and other straight-to-page posts that we add, all of the posts onto our blogs will appear as well. We've put together a nice stable of writers over the past year, and we think you'll enjoy checking them out here.

The commentary continues

The latest commentary on the Phoebe Prince case came today via a Boston Globe column by Kevin Cullen, who spoke with all-but certain incoming Northwestern DA David Sullivan about his stance and also writes about the newest response from Prince's parents.

Mmmmmm, burgers

The plaudits keep coming in for Northampton restaurant Local Burger. The Main Street eatery made USA Today's list today of 51 great burger joints as the entry for all of Massachusetts (one for each state, plus the District of Columbia).

What, Bob Dylan in town again?!?!?

And the answer is yes. Bob Dylan and His Band, as they bill 'em nowadays, will be returning to the Mullins Center on Friday, November 19 at 8 p.m. Presales end Thursday night, with a general public ticket sale starting Friday at 10 a.m.

Phish returns to Amherst

It's been nearly 15 years since a Phish sighting in Amherst, but that's about to change. The tremendously popular Vermont jamband has lined up shows at the Mullins Center at UMass-Amherst on Saturday, October 23 and Sunday, October 24.

The concerts will mark Phish's first gigs at the Mullins since December 4 and December 5, 1995, a pair of shows that followed two stops at the Mullins in 1994, on April 16 and again on November 3. Of course, Phish was an Amherst staple in its early years, frequently making the trek down I-91 to play at Amherst College and smaller UMass venues.
