Midwest Restaurants Featuring Local Foods?
- and she cooks too Apr 20, 2009 03:55 PM
Peoria, Illinois has been featured in national and regional papers recently for the restaurant, June, which opened a couple of months ago. The restaurant features selected local foods from season to season.
Do you have any restaurants in your Midwestern region that focus on local foods? We're working on developing a new website, midwesternterroir.com and would like to write some reviews/features.
Gina Edwards
Definitely add Roots to the list. Roots, in Milwaukee's developing North End area is truely focused on local ingredients, from the freshest organic produce and cheeses to local beers. Great restaurant. Mid to upper price range. This is a wonderful place to go during the summer if you're into sitting outside and enjoying great fare while watching the Milwaukee skyline (especially at dusk!). This restaurant is divided into an upper dining room (upscale with tantalizing dishes) and the "Roots Cellar" - the less expensive lower floor that also equipped with a tremendous menu. Expect a young professional crowd on Friday and Saturday night and older, Milwaukee foodie couples on Sundays. Try the pulled pork nachos - a ritzy rendition of the dish that is perfectly sweet and spicy in flavor and aroma and draped in local white cheeses. This restaurant provides excellent food and ambiance and incorporates real Milwaukee flavor. (http://www.rootsmilwaukee.com/)
From their main page:
"Welcome to Roots, Milwaukee's unique farmer and chef-owned restaurant....[With]unique and varying ingredients to fuel our creativity as the harvest unfolds,....Chef John Raymond orchestrates a menu celebrating the changing flavors and textures of the seasons. Each plate reflects a passion for the art of food."
re: cscott4313
Thank you! I love their concept. - GE
There are many such places in Chicago. Some of the best known are North Pond ( www.northpondrestaurant.com ), Lula ( www.lulacafe.com ), Shawn McClain's three restaurants (Custom House - www.customhouse.cc Spring - www.springrestaurant.net Green Zebra - www.greenzebrachicago.com ), and Vie in Western Springs ( www.vierestaurant.com ). There are many restaurant chefs who support Chicago's local Green City Markets and its farmers and producers; you can see a complete list at www.chicagogreencitymarket.org/chefs_...
re: nsxtasy
Many of the farmers in my area take their produce to the Green City Market because they can get better prices than in Peoria - I had Lula and Green Zebra on my list - thanks for the others!
cool resource.
here are a couple in Cleveland that come to mind:
--lots of other eco friendlly things going on here
Mind Body Spirits in Rochester Hills MI does local in season, and has gotten very good press, but I haven't been yet
re: coney with everything
Their menu is wonderful - and such great prices.
re: and she cooks too
I second Mind, Body and Spirits. I've been there around 6 times for either lunch, dinner or dessert. The healthiest kids menu around (and not coincidentally IMHO, the tastiest.)
re: coney with everything
I've gotta get over and try that place. They worked on that building for almost a year before opening.
In St. Louis, we've been to Riddle's Penultimate Café & Wine Bar : http://www.riddlescafe.com/ Click on "our menu" for the day's menu with descriptions of where the main ingredients come from.
I'm not sure if these restaurants focus on local foods, but they definitely make the effort to use local produce, etc., from the Ann Arbor and greater Michigan area:
Ann Arbor Brewing Company
eve, the restaurant
Beezy's Cafe
also, A Knife's Work, a catering and take-out company
I know there must be others, and there's been a big push lately for a lot of places to use locally. There are a lot of farms around the area that supply directly to restaurants...
A few others that I am aware are making the effort include:
The Corn Exchange, Rapid CIty, SD
"K" Sioux Falls, SD
Heartland, St. Paul, MN
Alma, Minneapolis, MN
Devotay, Iowa City, IA
The Lincoln Cafe, Mt. Vernon, IA
In Cleveland these guys are also known for using farm fresh when ever they can, and are all involved at an upcoming Farmer's Market Event.

I guess I travel around the Midwest a lot, since I've been to all but two of these. Although the purpose of this list is to highlight places featuring local and seasonal ingredients, it also happens to include some of the very finest restaurants in the Midwest.
re: nsxtasy
Thank you so much! A few years ago there was this push to reclaim Midwestern food - and then it died out. But the best part of eating in the Midwest - we know comfort food and we know how to eat seasonally.
re: nsxtasy
Yes, Tallent in Bloomington but you need to add Finch's and Farm to the list too.
re: Just here for the food
This place looks awesome! Thanks for mentioning it!
re: Fibber McGee
The South Market Bistro in Wooster was started by a chef who worked for Parker Bosley, so they obtain as much as they can locally.
I'd like to ask a question related to this inquiry. It seems like "local and seasonal ingredients" has become a fashionable buzzword for restauranteurs. Just because a restaurant has this on its website, how do we know to what extent they make an extra effort to support local providers where possible? And conversely, many restaurants - particularly those on the highest end of the "foodie chain" - often don't use those magic buzzwords, and in fact are sometimes very protective of their (sometimes exclusive) sources of ingredients, but may very well fit the model of local and seasonal foods; how can you make sure that such places are included as well?
In my (small) neck of the woods, Spring Green, WI, I would put the Spring Green Cafe & General Store and The Bank restaurant both on your list.
I'm surprised the MSP 'Hounds haven't chimed in a little more.
The first one that comes to my mind is Heartland. Restaurant Alma would also qualify, in my opinion.
re: tex.s.toast
I assume that the OP wants to know about restaurants in "unexpected" or out-of-the-way places, and/or hasn't done much initial research.
In the Twin Cities, there are almost too many to list. Besides, info is readily available elsewhere.
For example, in this 2007 article: http://www.mspmag.com/dining/bestrest...
Or via a search at EatWellGuide.org: http://eatwellguide.org/search/results
(Or see pages 110-121 of the printable MN guide: http://www.eatwellguide.org/localguid... )
And in several chowhound threads - like this one:
re: AnneInMpls
Maybe this is the initial research. Seems pretty efficient to me so far.
re: JanPrimus
We wanted feedback from forums like Chow, etc. to see where you're eating and finding local influences. My background is in the tourism industry, so it'd be easy for me to call local tourism offices or visit their websites - but that's not always the best option as those organizations are membership based.
The idea for this stems from the 2007 Illinois Food and Farm Act- which reports and laments, that Illinois (like a lot of Midwestern states) imports too much of its food. A committee has been formed and the goal know is to have 20 percent of this estimated $45 billion industry keep its business within the state by 2020. This includes distribution, processing and of course, growing.
When June opened its doors in Peoria, it has received a lot of hoopla in the local and national press. I have my qualms with them - their wine list is almost all Australian when we have several vineyards in our area and the state; their fish selections are almost all seafood and there are plenty of options for fish in the Great Lakes area. Myself and the farmers at our local farmers' markets are also the first to admit that Peoria is way behind in the 'local food' movement. We're still just trying to get people to the markets and area chefs interested.
And, since 'local' and 'seasonal' are such buzzwords, it does make it a bit difficult to do a google search. By asking for feedback on a forum like this - and by the way, THANK YOU, it gives us the opportunity to research further and select restaurants for our growing site. As we look at the menus and talk to these chefs we'll be able to better set criteria for listing restaurants.
re: and she cooks too
Interesting twist. Your original post asked for restaurants "focusing" on local foods. But if you're looking for places that serve ONLY local ingredients ... well, you'll have a tough time finding anything in the upper Midwest.
Local fish is a legitimate issue, but I think it's unfair to judge a place by its wine list. Truth to tell, most Midwestern wines really don't hold their own in a global (or even national) contest. Even the most "hard-core" locavore restaurant in the Twin Cities, Heartland, serves wines from around the world. (Though they do have an ice wine from Minnesota, which I take to be a stellar endorsement of said wine....)
And you do realize, don't you, that salt and black pepper aren't local to the Midwest? Not to mention most other spices - and there's an extremely limited selection of fresh fruits and vegetables for many months of the year. In Minnesota, our farmer's markets don't start until May - and even then, they have only bedding plants for a few weeks. So our locavores are still existing on canned veggies, root vegetables, early chive sprouts, and meat. I don't think a restaurant would survive with such a limited menu.
But 20% local food, on the other hand, is very low bar and should be completely achievable. In any case, it's a fascinating topic - good luck with your research!
re: AnneInMpls
This is certainly an interesting concept.
The other question is how "local" is defined. For example, the Chicago area is located within an hour's drive of three other states, and many of the farmers and purveyors at our local farmers markets come from those states; however, none of their products would be included in that figure of "20 percent within the state". We're not even talking about fishmongers who drive ten hours from Lake Superior, but farmers an hour or two away, who may even have established direct relationships with restaurant chefs in the Chicago area. Close by? Yes. Local enough to meet the goals of freshness and environmental friendliness? Yes. But not "within the state".
re: nsxtasy
There seems to be a trend here in MN where local is the five-state area of MN, N & S DAK, WI, and IA. Some folks use 250 or 500 miles as the criteria. I think "local" is about within a day to two day's drive. Something like that.
And it's not about the original country of origin, but where the item was raised or grown. I can get local lemon grass, bok choy, cilantro, et al, as well as local emu.
re: green56
i think the concept of local, but not necessarily in-state, regional food systems that Nsxtasy and Green are talking about is best termed: the "local foodshed" of any given area.
more msp-area foodshed summary:
re: soupkitten
Just in case anyone didn't pick up on the reason for that "20 percent" goal mentioned above, that was the standard that folks in the Illinois legislature used in the 2007 Illinois Food and Farm Act, regarding how much of the food in the state of Illinois should be grown/produced in state rather than "imported" from other states/countries. The Illinois legislature's concern, naturally, is for farmers in the state of Illinois. Thus, even though farmers in southeast Wisconsin and southwest Michigan may be less than two hours drive from Chicago, and most of us would consider their products to be local, they would not be included by this measure.
So, there's "local", and then there's "local", LOL!
re: AnneInMpls
actually, heartland in st. paul comes pretty durn close, i think! the winter menus featuring (brilliantly) the local keeper vegetables are amazing. lenny russo would be the first msp chef i'd interview for a project like this. the second would be lucia watkins.
re: soupkitten
And after that, Lucia Watson.
(ha ha...funny MSPD)
I totally agree soupkitten. Lenny Russo's recent comment on the "Foodie File" blog (MSP Magazine) under the Pick Your Battles thread exemplifies why.
re: soupkitten
It wasn't an interview...just him posting a comment to the blog. Here's the link...his comment is a few down.
re: AnneInMpls
"And you do realize, don't you, that salt and black pepper aren't local to the Midwest?" - AnneInMpls Apr 23, 2009 12:24AM
Cargill's Salt Operations are headquartered in Minneapolis and Morton Salt (which was recently purchased by a German company) is headquartered in Chicago. Both with good reason – during the Cretaceous period, the Midwest was under the North American Inland Sea. Because of this, our area sits upon billions of dollars (and tons) of salt.
Companies like Cargill and Morton, dry mine or vacuum evaporate salt from numerous mines, especially in the upper Midwest around the Great Lakes. Dry mined salt results in rock salt which has limited culinary applications outside of old-fashioned ice cream makers and for serving raw oysters. Evaporated salt is used for traditional table salt.
An example is Diamond Crystal salt which is created by the Alberger Process and comes from St. Clair, MI. This salt is lighter and flakier making it popular with fast food chains and the food industry. It is available via retail as iodized table salt and kosher varieties.
Iodized salt was developed at the turn of the century specifically for people in the Midwest because our soil does not contain high enough levels of iodine. When our area primarily depended upon local food, there were high rates of hypothyroidism (goiter) due to low levels of iodine in our diets. Recent studies show that rates of hypothyroidism are starting to increase again because more people are using sea salt. Ironically, sea salt does not contain iodine even though iodine can be found naturally in kelp and seafood.
While this isn't on the topic of local foods at restaurants, salt could be considered one of the most local commodities the Midwest has to offer.
Thank you again for everyone sharing tips and links!
re: and she cooks too
Wow! I had no idea that salt was (or could be) so local. I stand corrected - and more educated, now, too. Thanks!
re: and she cooks too
This is really interesting. I knew of the cargill mn connection but was very much surpirsed to find them operating the salt flats on the small carribean island i was lucky enough to vacation on a couple years ago.
This though makes me wonder if there is any way to know how much of the salt sold by these local midwestern companies is shipped here from far-flung places.
re: pikawicca
Not sure you can say Farm is doing that as they do a lot of mango, guava, etc. which I dont think grow in Indiana or anywhere near by.
re: chetatkinsdiet
As far as I can tell, this thread is about restaurants that are trying to showcase local ingredients, not restaurants that eschew all non-local ingredients. Be that as it may, Farm does not "do a lot of mango, guava, etc.) There's a little bit once in a while, but they're as local as their salt and pepper.
re: pikawicca
Can't imagine not having citrus fruits, coffee, chocolate.....
re: wekick
Should you just have to have these type of items, and I can't live w/o my coffee - purchase fair trade products vs. buying items from large conglomerates, say like Chaquita banannas.
With fair trade items the original farmer gets a much larger share of the amount due him/her.
And use less oranges and/or save for special occasions.
Small, simple modifications. Like go 70/30%... And gradually increase the 30% local to a higher percent YOU are comfortable with in your day-to-day life.
I fall off the Locavore wagon all the time. But at least I'm trying. Basically it's more about being aware than anything, I think. For example, when I'm too lasy to go to the Co-Op for my WI un- or only slightly homogienized, whole milk I buy Schroeder's which is a large dairy in MN. I'm still local, but not as left-wing local. LOL!
re: pikawicca
So what's the threshold?
re: chetatkinsdiet
There are no hard and fast rules, but for me: If you're serving asparagus from Chile in October when you could be serving perfectly good local broccoli, you're not cooking locally.
re: pikawicca
Very well put.
A couple places you might not otherwise hear about:
Angry Trout and Chez Jude in Grand Marais, MN.
Canoe Bay (not a restaurant per se) in Chetek, WI.
All three are very much worth the trip.
Interesting thread; already spotted some places to try when traveling. Not a comprehensive list for Cincinnati, but two worthy mentions:
Slims (http://slimsrestaurant.com/), which serves a lot of produce from chef Patrick McCafferty's own micro-farm, Ohio Maiden (as in "made in Ohio") and offers periodic "Ohio Maiden" dinners.
Nectar, which in addition to its regular seasonally and locally driven menu offers monthly "dinner clubs" where chef Julie Francis partners with a local purveyor and uses a featured ingredient (spinach, basil, garlic, beets, etc.) in each of 5 courses. Although Nectar's website (http://dineatnectar.com/) is not current re: the dinner club offerings, they're delicious, convivial, and thanks to the opportunity to meet the farmers who provided the beets (http://www.walnutridgeacres.com/), I now have a great source for antiobiotic-free chickens plus local greens even in the winter (can't wait to check out their warm weather offerings too).
St. Louis: the upscale restaurant, Franco, is across the street from the Soulard Market - a farmers market that started in the 19th Century. They use local food - all they have to do is walk across the street...
There are plenty of restaurants in the St. Louis area that focus on using local ingredients and farmers.
The two "locavore" grand dames of the St. Louis local dining scene are Riddles and Harvest. Andy Ayers of Riddles has even started a distribution company for local farm produce. Here's a brief rundown of St. Louis restaurants that focus on the farm to table:
Erato on Main
Edwardsville, IL
Maplewood, IL
Sidney Street Cafe
Schlafy Taproom
Schlafy Bottleworks
Cardwell's at the Plaza
Chaumette Winery
St. Genevieve, MO
Annie Gunn's
re: and she cooks too
One thing I'm finding as I become MN Locavore (my name on other forums) cilantro, exotic peppers, etc., CAN be local. We've a large population of Hmong immigrents in the Twin Cities area and there's a concept going now where these people are being taught to farm. And CSAs are becoming very big here and we are now able to get local lemon grass even.
"Seasonal" plays a big part up here. To be a true locavore and eat jalapenos one must only eat them in our season unless one preserved them in some way for year-round consuption.
I suppose a true locavore would only eat seasonal foods that are indiginous to an approximate 250 radial area. But, I'm going the route local is local, at least as far as vegetables.
So one can still go exotic and still be a locavore. This is what I've always heard, "Go local/organic; then go local, then go organic" when 'voting' with one's food dollars.
Have you contacted Edible Twincities? It's a magazine all about local. I bet they could help you.
I'll Google what I'm talking about regarding this new iniative regarding teaching immigrents to farm as I'm not explaining what I mean very well - unless someone beats me to it and gives you the info.
Hope this is some help to you. Bet it just muddies the waters more! LOL!
re: green56
Check these out. Hope they help!
This is the program I was talking about: http://www.mnproject.org/food-heartla...
The reason I mention it is because many of the TC's restaurants are buying from programs such as this. MN, depending so heavily on agriculture, is - in my opinion - on the cutting edge of local restaurants using locally grown, sustainable farm goods.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Cleveland. We have a number of restaurants that are committed to local sourcing, although not exclusively.
The newly opened Greenhouse Tavern (Chef Jonathon Sawyer) is probably at the forefront, and will have its own rooftop garden (that's as local as you can get).
Also, Restaurant Fire (Chef Doug Katz), Moxie (Chef Jonathon Bennett), Lola and Lolita (Chef Michael Symon), Light Bistro (Chef Matt Mathlage) and Crop Bistro (Chef Steve Schimoler) also use local/sustainable products whenever possible.

Food Dance Cafe http://www.fooddance.net/pages_/home.cfm
in Kalamazoo, MI serves local food in a lovely atmosphere.
There's a old grocery store on the Southside of Des Moines that was awarded the Best Deli Sandwich in Des Moines, Iowa. Plus, their breaded pork tenderloin is pretty famous around Des Moines. It's Called B&B Grocery and has been opened forever. It's almost like walking in time, everyone is so nice and the deli food will make you smile.

text: 'The Campaign' Blu-ray Inadvertently Shows How Hollywood Attempts to Sway Our Vote Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 5 Nov 2012 post a comment The folks behind the home video of "The Campaign" picked a week before Election Day for its official street date. Savvy choice, no doubt. The film's Blu-ray release is meant to remind viewers of how unchecked money impacts modern politics, the film's reason d'etre. The new film also reveals, not by choice, how eagerly Hollywood places its considerable thumb on the election scales. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star as dueling politicians - one a slick, sleazy incumbent, the other a naive newcomer - who behave rather badly en route to Election Day. The film plays it fairly neutral in the obvious Left vs. Right debate, saving all of its partisan shots for a Koch brothers duo (John Lithgow, Dan Akyroyd). What "The Campaign" highlights is how liberal entertainers bemoan the impact of money in the election process - a worthwhile debate point, no doubt - while ignoring how they pour millions into products meant to sway hearts and minds. After all, "The Campaign" must have cost at least $30 million to make not including marketing costs by the most conservative estimates, and it is directed at devaluing the Citizens United case which failed to restrict corporate spending come election time. Plus, we just recently watched shows like "The Good Wife" slip pro-liberal messages into its storytelling and "Last Man Standing" spread the president's talking points to the masses. Plus, the National Geographic film "SEAL Team Six," rushed to fill a programming slot two days before the election, was personally massaged by Obama donor Harvey Weinstein for maximum impact. Is it fair for actors to whine about Koch brothers' money while looking the other way while Hollywood dumps millions to affect voters' minds via content? For the record, "The Campaign" is an occasionally hilarious look at modern electioneering, and while the final 20 minutes reduces the laugh meter considerably you'll still find a fair share of chuckles here. Those who can't appreciate a cute baby getting KO'd in comic fashion, though, are best to look elsewhere for Election Day entertainment. The Blu-ray extras include a Line-o-Rama feature letting the cast riff repeatedly with absurdly comic rejoinders (the arrow in the leg segment is a misfire, while the rest are surely smirk-worthy) and a gag reel with a mustache malfunction and a sexual assault on an election sign.

As many readers will be uncomfortably aware, discussion about whether the UK will remain within the European Union is throwing increasing uncertainty into the scenario in which every organization with a long-term engagement has to make its calculations. The possibility of a future "Brexit"— a British exit— has been exercising the world of medicines, and the just-published responses to a UK government evaluation of the merits and demerits of EU membership highlight some of the issues.
For Sanofi, for instance, which employs over 2,000 people across our six UK sites, the concerns include issues relating to the free movement of goods, trade & investment, and R&D.
The EU is a good thing, it suggests, in that enforcement of the rules on free movement of goods has led to a substantial reduction of protectionism and discrimination against foreign companies, and eased market access. But, it goes on, "while national governments have a responsibility to ensure access to innovation for their citizens in a sustainable way," and it is "legitimate that they should want to control national reimbursement mechanisms and decisions," the combination of price controls with free movement of goods has a distorting effect on pharmaceutical markets, it argues—citing "arbitrage by parallel traders and the practice of international reference pricing by member states' authorities." In other words, EU rules are keeping the squeeze on manufacturers' prices and bringing benefit to parallel traders.
At the same time, the EU as failed to make incisive improvements in uptake of innovation—in other words, member state governments are just not buying into valuable new medicines. The trend is EU-wide, but "the UK lags behind many other European countries in the adoption of new medicines," Sanofi complains. So it is urging "flexible and pragmatic solutions" that will "improve equitable access to medicines across Europe and ensure a dynamic market for innovation." And the way to do this, it says, is through inter-governmental policy initiatives rather than through legislation. It quotes approvingly the 2013 update to the World Health Organization's Priority Medicines for Europe and the World 2013, with its calls for improved alignment between public health needs and incentives for biomedical innovation. "Considering incentives for innovation alongside health needs could open an improved dialogue between authorities and industry on creating added value for healthcare systems and society through pharmaceutical R&D."
For other healthcare-related respondents, the EU rules relating to clinical trials loom large in their concerns. The Medical Research Council stressed the need for "consideration of the correct
legislative instrument" and an approach "which is proportionate and risk-based, avoiding administrative burden where possible." It takes a broadly positive view of the rules currently reaching their final stage, but underlines "the importance of employing the correct legislative instrument, and the very real potential for inconsistent interpretation of European Directives at a national level without clear guidance regarding implementation."
The Ethical Medicines Industry Group, an association representing smaller biopharmaceutical companies, and claiming that its members employ 20,000 in the UK, says it will "welcome any measures which aim to incentivise and promote a prospering UK life sciences sector." So, "it is imperative that the government and European Union foster an environment which supports SMEs to grow sustainably in the UK." It recognizes the merits of the EU's lnnovative Medicines lnitiative or its framework research programs ("although navigating access to the schemes can be complex and difficult for smaller firms"), and it believes the EU's centralized application procedure has made the marketing authorization process more efficient, but it is concerned that the EMA policy on clinical trial data release threatens UK competitiveness on the world stage.
Conspicuously, however, while the respondents give their views on particular issues, none of them come close to expressing a preference for staying in or getting out of the EU. This extensive consultation exercise by the UK government has so far done little to bring much clarity to what is becoming a very confused debate.

With the "Recycle More" single-stream recycling campaign, Boston residents recycled close to 30,000 tons, using their big blue recycling carts. Residents recycled 45% more tons then they did in 2009, before the citywide distribution of the big recycling carts.
Cart distribution begun in 2009 concludes in June 2010.
In July, the City begins distributing large wheeled carts to residences citywide.
In July, single stream recycling expands to Beacon Hill, West End, Bay Village, Chinatown, and Downtown. Residents may request one cart per building or use clear plastic bags. In August, households in West Roxbury receive large wheeled carts. Recycling in West Roxbury increases 44%.
In May, 2500 households along one recycling collection route that spans parts of Jamaica Plain and Roslindale receive large wheeled carts. They may mix their recyclable material together in a new process called "single stream recycling." Recycling increases 52% in this collection route. In October, residents in the South End may mix their recyclable material together in clear plastic bags. 500 carts are distributed to buildings in serviceable alleyways. Recycling increases 143% in the South End.
City Council passes the ordinance "Regarding Access to City Recycling Programs for Large Apartment Buildings," which requires owners of large residential buildings provide access to recycling services for their residents.
City recycling services are extended to the Boston Housing Authority's developments.
The City begins curbside collection and recycling of cathode ray tubes, found in televisions and computer monitors.
The City expands its household hazardous waste drop-off days from once per year to twice per year. STRIVE, the Boston School Department's School-To-Career program offers recycling collection to all Boston Public Schools.
A fourth surplus paint and used motor oil recycling center is opened.
Nine new items are added to the curbside collection program and three permanent surplus paint and used motor oil recycling centers are opened.
Citywide weekly curbside collection of household recyclables to residents living in large apartment buildings begins. Citywide seasonal curbside collection of leaf and yard waste begins.
Weekly, citywide recycling collection is expanded to include bottles, cans, and two types of plastic containers.
Citywide, weekly collection of newspapers begins.
Eight monthly drop-off recycling centers were operating throughout Boston.
A recycling ordinance is passed and a curbside collection program for 6,500 households in Jamaica Plain piloted.
Boston enters into an agreement with the recycling volunteers to manage these monthly drop-offs.
Volunteers organize drop-offs in several neighborhoods where residents can recycle their newspapers and bottles.
Electronics Recycling & Paper Shredding: Fall Date

BEULAH, TEXAS (Johnson County). Beulah was on Mustang Creek eighteen miles northwest of Cleburne. Settlement of the site occurred in 1853. A post office operated there from 1882 until 1890. The population grew from thirty in 1885 to ninety-four in 1892. Area farmers raised and shipped livestock. Beulah was bypassed by the railroads and by 1910 was all but abandoned.

Center judge deemed contact by Jameis Winston to be insignificantNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday10 hrs ago
The ACC said Sunday that the contact Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston made with an official during Saturday's game against Boston Collegewas believed to be incidental and insignificant by the center judge who Winston contacted.
"The center judge's positioning, which was due to the experimental year of having an eighth official, combined with the late substitution and by rule the need to allow the defense to matchup, led to contact between himself and the player," ACC coordinator of officials Doug Rhoads said in a statement. "The official believed the contact was incidental and insignificant and did not rise to the level of unsportsmanlike conduct and automatic disqualification."
If you haven't seen the incident, here it is. According to the NCAA rulebook, intentionable and forcible contact with an official is punishable with a 15-yard penalty and ejection. Winston was not flagged on the play.
Hawaii scores touchdown with no time left to beat UNLV (Video)Nick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday17 hrs ago
There was drama in Hawaii while you slept.
Trailing 35-31 with a second left, Hawaii had time for one more play against UNLV from the Rebels' 20-yard-line. Ikaika Woolsey dropped back to pass and found Marcus Kemp just inside the goal line.
It was close, as you can see, but Kemp was indeed inside the end zone before he was pushed out by the defender. The plays was upheld upon review and the Warriors won 37-35.
It's a great way to end the home season for Hawaii too. The Warriors, at 4-8, aren't going to a bowl game (neither is 2-10 UNLV) and play at Fresno State to end the year on Saturday.

Boise State runs Statue of Liberty play to perfection (GIF)Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Boise State brought out memories of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Wyoming Saturday night.
Already leading 21-7 late in the second quarter, Boise head coach Bryan Harsin reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out the ol' Statue of Liberty play.
Quarterback Grant Hedrick faked a quick pass to the right side and put the ball behind his back with his left hand. At that point, running back Jay Ajayi grabbed the ball and rumbled downfield for a 20-yard score before the Cowboys' defense had a chance to figure out what happened.
The highlight reel play gave the Broncos a 28-7 lead going into halftime and they went on to win 63-14.
At 9-2 and 6-1 in Mountain West play, the Boise State win over Wyoming created a three-way tie in the Mountain division with Colorado State and Utah State.

Winners and losers: Top teams take care of business heading into rivalry weekendSam Cooper at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
There shouldn't be much movement in the Top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday.
Aside from No. 8 Ole Miss' blowout loss to Arkansas and a bye for No. 5 TCU, each team took care of business – mainly against far inferior opponents – with what should be a wild rivalry weekend on the horizon.
After hard-fought wins over LSU and Mississippi State, top-ranked Alabama fell behind FCS Western Carolina early and led by just three points midway through the second quarter before getting on track and blowing out the Catamounts 48-14. It was the perfect breather before next Saturday's Iron Bowl.
Like Alabama, No. 10 Georgia also hosted an FCS opponent and dismantled Charleston Southern 55-9 while No. 2 Oregon routed Colorado behind 323 yards passing and four total touchdowns from Heisman Trophy candidate Marcus Mariota. The Ducks already have clinched a spot in the Pac-12 title game and should take care of business against in-state rival Oregon State next weekend.
Missouri is a win away from second consecutive SEC East titleNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Only Arkansas now stands in the way of Missouri's second-straight SEC East title.
If you were filling out a comment card about Missouri's season, the phrase you'd probably write first would be "ugly, but effective." And the theme continued Saturday night during the Tigers' 29-21 win over Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn., as Missouri's offense sputtered for much of the game after an opening touchdown drive.
But as soon as quarterback Maty Mauk hit Jimmie Hunt on a 73-yard touchdown pass to give Missouri a 23-13 lead, the Tiger offense was reinvigorated.
Early in the fourth quarter, Mauk had Hunt in single coverage and threw a jump ball for his receiver, who reached over the Tennessee defender and snagged it before holding off another on his way to the end zone. On Mauk's next pass after a Tennessee punt, he hit Bud Sasser for a 35-yard gain. The two passes netted Mauk 108 yards of passing. His previous 22 throws had gained 109 yards.
Five plays after finding Sasser, Mauk hit him again for a 13-yard touchdown and the Tigers final score of the night.
Western Carolina coach slams Kirk Herbstreit for GameDay commentsNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Western Carolina coach Mark Speir took offense to ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit's feelings about FCS teams playing FBS teams.
Four SEC schools – Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Georgia – played FCS schools on Saturday and on GameDay, Herbstreit, an avowed critic of the ability of FBS teams to play FCS schools, expressed his disdain for the practice again. Western Carolina played Alabama, and Speir made this comment after the game, which Alabama won 48-14.
He didn't name Herbstreit, but the direction of the comment was clear given that Herbstreit used to play quarterback at Ohio State.
"A guy had a silver spoon in his mouth all his life, Ohio State, primadonna state quarterback talking about, 'It's an embarrassment,'" Speir said via Al.com. "He ain't ever coached."
Speir complimented Herbstreit's GameDay partner in Lee Corso, who doesn't share Herbstreit's stance.
Young fan asks Oregon coach Mark Helfrich about Marcus Mariota's future, hilarity ensuesGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Press conferences can be boring.
It's usually the same questions about players and plays, so when a middle school student, 12-year-old Charlie Pape, from a Catholic school came into Oregon's postgame presser and started talking about "Jesus, girls and Marcus Mariota," well, it made for Internet gold.
Initially Pape asks Oregon coach Mark Helfrich whether Mariota, the Ducks' star junior quarterback, is going to come back next season.
"That's the talk around school," he states.
"What is the talk around school?" Helfrich asks. "How have you broken it down? What do you think he'll do?"
"Well, there's three things that go on at O'Hara Catholic — or four — OK?" Pape replies. "There's Jesus, there's girls, and there's Marcus Mariota."
Of course, the entire press conference starts laughing and Helfrich can't keep a straight face. He does tell Pape he doesn't know about Mariota's future, but that he's enjoyed the interview.
The only disappointing part about this video is that we never learned what the fourth thing was that goes on at Pape's school.

Tennessee scores TD on fake field goal and fan falls out of standsNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Tennessee converted a beautiful fake field goal for a touchdown and one fan was so overcome with joy that he tumbled out of the stands in celebration.
Holder Patrick Ashford threw a strike to Alex Ellis, who ran a go route and got behind Missouri's defenders for the 31-yard touchdown. While you can see the defenders on the perimeter recognize the fake, the middle of the defense didn't, and Ian Simon was too late to get to Ellis.
And as Ellis' momentum carried him out the back of the end zone, he was joined by a fan on the field. A man tried to reach down and pat Ellis and his momentum sent him over the brick wall separating the stands from the field.
We feel for the woman in the black coat who was suddenly in the midst of chaos and had no chance to get out.
Thankfully, the fan who fell out of the stands was uninjured and back in his spot after the fall. The fake gave Tennessee a 10-7 lead and the Vols and Tigers were tied 13-13 at halftime.

Virginia's Canaan Severin hauled in awesome one-handed TD catch (GIFs)Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
Virginia needed to win its last two games to make it to a bowl game and Canaan Severin did everything he could to make sure that happens.
Trailing Miami 7-3 late in the first half, Cavs quarterback Greyson Lambert looked Severin's way on a third-and-10 play from the Hurricanes' 23-yard line. Lambert fired a strike to Severin up the seam and the junior wideout made a diving one-handed touchdown catch with Miami's safety heading right toward him.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Severin was able to haul the pass in with his right arm out-stretched and completely avoid the Miami defensive back for a touchdown.
Here's another look.
The touchdown, Severin's fifth of the season, gave Virginia a 10-7 lead.
The Cavs held on for a 30-13 win to improve to 5-6. They have a road game against Virginia Tech next Friday to decide whether or not they will advance to the postseason.

Florida State continues to live on the edge with 20-17 win against Boston CollegeGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
At what point do we call Florida State seems to have a flair for the dramatic because it's gotten into the habits of making things far more interesting than they should be against weaker opponents.
And Saturday's 20-17 win against Boston College was yet another example.
Florida State and Boston College were tied late in the fourth quarter when the Eagles put together a stellar drive that put them in field goal range. However, Joey Launceford missed the 43-yarder that would have given Boston College the lead with 4:37 remaining.
Florida State got the ball back, went down the field and the ever-steady Roberto Aguayo knocked in a 26-yard field goal as time expired.
If it feels like you've seen this scenario involving Florida State before, well, you have; maybe with a different play and a different margin, but always with the same outcome — a Florida State win.
The Boston College win marked the sixth time the Seminoles either had to rally from a deficit or a tie to seal a victory. And most of those rallies have come in the second half.

"He buys every single release and knows about everyone. He was telling me how fantastic he thinks Dot Rotten is and how Devlin is such a fine lyricist. I couldn't believe it.

Bought this for a steal (under $[...]), but quickly discovered a possible reason for the price. The audio in the Mac version is really messed up. The sample rate conversion of the audio files is executed poorly, so it aliases like crazy (an awful buzzing noise that changes with the audio signal). Not sure if it does this on all Macs, but you can read up about the problem - Search for "gta trilogy mac audio". Lots of people experienced it. But for [the price], not bad anyway. Just use the MP3 channel.
For $4.99, This set is a must have. It includes the three best Grand Theft Auto Games; GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. This games were simply amazing games.
