Back when I was a kid, when my dad ran short of money, he had three options available to get his hands on some ready cash. First, tap a relative. Second, get in touch with a guy who knew a guy (you know what I mean).
The third option, which is now fashionable again at your local Check into Cash joint, was writing a post-dated check to the owner of a family storefront business… Read more from Christopher Green here

PHOTO REVIEW: Light-UP Lantern Festival 2011A Fairytale Fall Evening of Light and Fantasy Sat 10/8 @ University Park

The festival occupied a small area on Crouse and Kim street, surrounding the Don Drumm Studios & Gallery. Now in it’s third year, the Light-UP Lantern Festival is the brainchild of Leandra Drumm of Don Drumm Studios… View a slideshow of photographs from the Light-UP Lantern Festival taken by Elise Gaffney here.
