Christmas in the Red

by Currents Staff

Together we make up a consumer culture, and everywhere you look there are nonessential commodities for sale. Each Christmas, Americans purchase billions of dollars worth of these for gift-giving. Meanwhile, stores pump out carols over the loudspeakers, adorn the walls with wreaths, and hold special sales the day after Thanksgiving.

Microbreweries: Mom and Pop Tops  99 Bottles of Beer

I ordered a Moustache Ride.
My very attentive  waitress told me that this was the most popular  beer sold in Riverwest’s Stone Fly Brewery.  
 
I enjoyed it. I decided I would be back for more when  I didn’t have an article to write.

Jeremy Prach has a huge backyard. It’s grassy and   dotted with trees. There’s enough room here for   a dozen or more people to sit and talk. Prach   makes use of this space: he holds neighborhood   watch meetings here (he’s the block captain), here   is where planning takes place for the Riverwest 24-   hour bike race (he’s the main organizer), and most   importantly here is where he spends time with his   wife, children, and neighbors.
