Christopher Kennedy's '1950s Radio in Color' spotlights the lost photos of Cleveland D.J. Tommy Edwards.
Did you know that MTV was invented in 1956? In Cleveland? As far-fetched as either of those suggestions may sound, they’re borne out – in a way – by “1950s Radio in Color” (Kent State University Press), Christopher Kennedy’s collection of “The Lost Photographs of Deejay Tommy Edwards.”
Its location has always seemed attractive. Its names over the years, perhaps not so much — Dumpy’s, Shotgun Willie’s, Stumble In.
Now the closed-again restaurant/tavern at the top of so-called Creve Coeur hill is Terry’s, as in local resident Terry Cooper. That won’t be its name, however, if and when he reopens what in some ways has become a fitting symbol of promise and frustration for its host village.

Over the last few years, customers have sent so many photographs into Algonquin Outfitters ’ photo contests that Randy Mitson, the firm’s marketing director, has started to assemble a virtual Algonquin Park by plotting them against a map.
The entries – which Mr. Mitson figures now number more than 5,000 – do more than give customers a chance to win prizes. They remind them of the firm, which operates 12 stores under three brands, offering a wide range of sporting equipment and custom travel in Algonquin Park. It also reminds customers of the park itself, keeping the idea of travelling next season top-of-mind.

It’s true what they say about preseason sports predictions being a lot like assholes. “Everyone’s got ‘em, and most of ‘em stink.” (Or something like that.) Yet here I am, sitting down to type out my bold predictions for the 2011 NFL season.
And I have to admit, I’m actually feeling rather emboldened by how my bold predictions for 2010 turned out.

1) How is the offensive line holding up with its injuries?
Offensive line should be fine. We got a little nervous with Mangold getting a stinger in practice, but he’s back, and along with D’Brick, Brandon Moore, Matt Slauson and Wayne Hunter, it should resemble last years line.

On who will start at quarterback in the final preseason game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers: We're going to go with Cam (Newton).

The family had escaped the deadly pogroms against Jews by Ukrainian cossacks in Galicia, which was then part of the Austrian Empire.
Bart Simpson is misunderstood. Wrongly pegged as an underachiever and troublemaker, Bart would like to remind the world of some of his decent qualities: He looks out for his sister, Lisa; he's befriended outcasts and misfits like Milhouse Van Houten and Ralph Wiggum; he's injected romance into the life of his teacher, Edna Krabappel; and he brought down an illegal French winery during his brief semester abroad. So what if he's also befouled the Springfield Community Church with phony hymns or prank-called Moe's Tavern several times a day for the last few years? It all balances out, right? At age 10, Bart has managed to live out a number of dreams: He has starred in his own short-lived TV series (with his idol, Krusty the Clown), spotted and named a deadly comet that nearly destroyed his town, and almost snagged the role of Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie. He couldn't have done any of those things without the help and support of his best friend, Santa's Little Helper.
