Feature Story

Rosie’s Place debuts Women’s Education Center
By Kate Vander Wiede | Mar 9
World atlases decorated one room, a globe rested on another’s windowsill, and pictures of smiling and laughing students adorned the hallways. While these touches seem reminiscent of a traditional school, the March 5 Open House for the Women’s Education Center at Rosie’s Place on Harrison Avenue revealed that the school was anything but traditional. Serving the poor and homeless women of Boston since 1974, the organization’s English as a Second Language (ESL) and General Educational Development (GED) classes that will continue in the new center are only two of the many services offered, which include free health care, six-days-a-week lunches and dinners, and temporary and permanent housing.

Dining Guide: The traveler’s Taste
By Aviva Gat | Mar 3
With the recession still forcing people to give up certain luxuries, an exotic vacation may be the last thing in anyone’s budget. Been dreaming about drinking Saki under a banyan tree? How about taking a stroll under the Parisian streetlamps? Both can be done without blowing your savings on a flight from Logan. In fact, they can be done without leaving the neighborhood, so South End News searched and found the most authentic restaurants that will make you forget you’re still stuck in cold, wet Boston.

Arts

Bromfield Gallery mixes it up
By Kate Vander Wiede | Mar 9
Bromfield Gallery teemed with guests last Friday night, March 5, as artists Charles Goss and Dianne Lam showed installations of their work, on display at 450 Harrison Avenue until March 27. From form to theme, the artists’ showings diverged, with Lam’s introspective work hanging in the back two galleries and Goss’ humorous pieces showing in the front.

Black History Month celebrated right
By Readers | Mar 3
Black History was like a bright North Star on the stage of Villa Victoria Center for the Arts last Sunday afternoon. Defying the darkness of ignorance these days of Black History in the making as well as the past, this multicultural and inter-generational presentation was presented as the result of many hours of collaboration between neighborhoods, professional artists and novices, Africans, African Americasn, Asians and Latinos, young and old! This program shall soon become an institution in the cultural treasury that resides within the Villa Victoria Complex (in the South End).

A look at what could have been at the Garden
By Brandon Simes | Mar 8
I’m not quite sure what to make of this year’s Celtics squad. They have the talent to win it all. When healthy and motivated, the roster appears to have every conceivable hole filled. However, health and desire both appear to have waned as this team’s moon has waxed, and I highly doubt the C’s will make it past Cleveland should they face off.
