InSeason makes getting real local food in Boston less annoying (1)
on Bostonist (8) permalinkProblems with getting real "local" food in Boston: a) Most people with jobs can't get to the local farmer's market before it closes at 5pm or 6pm b) Whole Foods is expensive and doesn't have 100% local stuff, and sometimes you can't tell which is which c) Other "mystery" delivery methods which aim to support local and/or organic, such as Community Supported Agriculture programs and grocery delivery services like Boston Organics, don't let you choose ...Shared by adstew (22)Contribute comment

U.S. Elections: Obama and McCain Start Sharing in Google Reader (20)

This program, called Power Readers in Politics also includes items shared by a number of high-profile journalists.

New Live National - "A Thousand Black Cities" (1)
