I Party Too Damn Hard to be Mayor!
While I’m sure most of us had a killer St. Patty’s celebration (we were still hung over Monday, hence no update) it looks like Norton Mayor Joseph Kernan really took the cake. Cops found Kernan’s pick-up blocking a road in Bay Village where Mr. Mayor was still passed [...]

Remember when Carl Monday was the talk of the town? Jonny Stewart (we’re on that level) did a piece on him, our message board was on fire, the phrase “You Jackin’ It?” rolled off Jon Rybicki’s tongue every twenty minutes. But then, much like internet jokes, [...]

Music That Does Not Deserve Awards
It’s always great when one of our fine weeklies cranks out an awards issue, and then we learn just how sadly out of touch they are. Well The Free Times have their music awards issue cramming newsstands this week and the results, as usual, are, how should I say, interesting. Two [...]
