05:31PM / Monday, April 22, 2013 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Two Eagle Street establishments have nabbed Editor's Choice selections in this year's Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England.
Making the Best of New England list for Western Mass (which has a preponderance of Berkshire venues this year) is the legendary (and not surprising) Jack's Hot Dog Stand as the "Best Retro Hot Dogs." But newcomer Martha Flood Design Studio & Fabric Gallery just a few doors down made the list as well.
Flood opened her Eagle Street studio three years ago and features a line of fabrics from recycled plastics inspired by the Berkshires — leaves, water, flora and bark. The studio

02:03PM / Saturday, April 20, 2013 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Dr. Len Radin has decided that it is time to "hang up" his tuxedo. "It's getting frayed and needs a rest," he wrote in a letter announcing his retirement after 25 years as Drury High School's theater teacher: "I want to retire from teaching when I am still passionate about it." "When I told the Drama Team I would be leaving at the end of the school year, they cried and I cried, too," said the Williamstown resident in an interview. To those who know the Radin, better known as "Doc," the students' reaction was not 5 Comments

Warner Brothers I love baseball. Some even claim I'm moved to tears when taking in the playing field of Yankee Stadium for the first time each season. So it is in that vein that I declare Brian Helgeland's "42" both a stirring depiction of Jackie Robinson's epic breaking of the color line and a fine addition to those films recounting the saga of our national pastime. But more important among the dramatically solid movie's virtues is the conscientious refresher course on racism in America. The term sports metaphor has never been more appropriate.

03:00AM / Monday, April 15, 2013 | |
 ADAMS, Mass. — Barely three years old, the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace and Museum is attracting tourists from around the Northeast and as far as Japan.
But the small homestead can't be the only destination.
"We need your help," the museum's new director Colleen Janz implored the gathering at the Fire House Cafe on Saturday night. "We're a small museum, it only takes about an hour to go through ... There has to be something else for these people to do."
The nearly 50 members of the area's "creative community" — artists, writers and representatives of cultural venues — agreed that it was time for North

'Evil Dead': Bring Popcorn, a Soda and a TourniquetBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic

Tri-Star Pictures I grew anxious as "Evil Dead," director Fede Alvarez's remake/reboot/continuation of Sam Raimi's horror franchise, neared its invasion of the Bijou. In the parlance of my filmgoing childhood, just as when either "Them" (1954) or "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) loomed as the Saturday matinee, I was "a-scared," and not merely afraid. We made deals. Oh sure, we would go, no matter how frightening the prospect. It was compulsory — a lesson in taking the bad with the good — the good being a Western or 0 Comments
