Bostonist arrived at the Prudential on Saturday ready to be let down. The gatekeepers at Anime Boston 2008 had not issued us a press pass, and our +20 Cloak of Belonging is, shall we say, somewhat out of date. But, to our great pleasure, the grim, unreachable confines of Hynes Convention Center could not contain Anime Boston's faithful, who erupted into the Shops at Prudential Center. Hey, they've got to eat sometime, right? We caught......

A beautiful sky over the Prudential by MeganJane11. The light streams through the clouds and gorgeous colors make for a powerful and serene shot. Happy Weekend everyone!......

We totally dig this minimal shot by marcfoto. The bright orange gives the simple composition a real pop and we love how the two figures on the right are almost lost in the scale. Happy Weekend!......

This week is officially Bike Week. Regular commuters, part time enthusiasts, friends, and allies of bikers will be donning their helmets (please put on your helmet) and taking to the streets to celebrate a great form of human powered transportation.

Check out the full listing at......

Rachael Ray will be at the Barnes & Noble at Prudential Center for a book signing at noon tomorrow - Wednesday, December 20. Then she'll be at the Sur La Table in the Mall at Chestnut Hill on the same day from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. A Globe article named "Hatred of Rachael Ray Can Be a Powerful Uniting Force" became one of the most popular articles on globe.com (not as popular as "Flatulence......

The Boston Globe had a little sidebar note in the morning paper today that the revised, now three instead of the initial four floors, Apple Store plans for the 815 Boylston St. address had been approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Apple still has to go through the process of applying for the necessary demolition and building permits to turn the building into the three story glass façade building it is currently planning. This......

We've been sitting on our hands wondering how we were going to approach Menino's call for a new downtown skyscraper last week without making all sorts of inadequacy jokes, you know, how this skyscraper might just be Menino's viagra. Damn, we blew our load already. To be just as blunt the basic story told is that Menino has called for a 1,000 foot skyscraper (that's roughly 80 stories, John Hancock is 62). And all Bostonist......

When Tommy went up against Maura, he made very little effort to put issues on the table. Schools, affordable housing, and the usual issues - never fixed but always talked about by politicians - were barely on the radar. Just around the time that Tom Menino was on a hunt for cell phone service, poor Maura Hennigan mortgaged her house in order to respond to Mumbles' roaming charges. Perhaps a straight pander for votes, but......

Bostonist doesn't recall the local shopping mall as an unsafe location growing up in our teen years, but in Holyoke no one under the age of 18 will be allowed into the local mall (after 4 p.m. on weekends) without parental accompaniment or proper identification. The reported problem is that large "gangs" of children shoplift and their presence is scaring away older clientele from the mall. The mall claims that since the policy was implemented,......

A Dorchester woman has been charged with shoplifting after being caught with over $13,000 worth of goods taken from the Prudential Center and Copley Place Mall on Monday. According to police, she was working along with two other women, who first tipped off security at Sephora, where they stole $750 worth of perfume. The Boston Police were called and later led to a car parked on Boylston Street where the women were seen dropping off......
