One way old moribund industrial towns in the rust belt, and Northeast, attempt to gain new life is to encourage the development of upscale watering holes. It works quite well. The old rotting warehouses are converted into chic clubs. Then boutiques and sandwich shops move in. Before long overpriced artist flats and hip urban condos are constructed. But inevitably the deep rooted American guilt complex begins to nag, and some start to question how the Lord will look upon a community that is revitalized on the back of sin. Then everything gets all divisive, and the city fathers (and mothers) find themselves in a pitched battle with God's appointed spokespersons for the soul of the community.It's all really stupid—but if you think it can be resolved without going to federal court you mus

watch most any Japanese anime, drama or movie and you'll eventually come across a scene where ravens fly across the screen. just as with western culture, the japanese have attributed crows and ravens with death and "darkness" of the soul. ravens are quite literally everywhere in japan, and their presence seems to scare off all of the other birds-- here, three ravens perch beside the kamakura shoreline; the minute they flew into the area, all the aural commotion caused by the seagulls was completely silenced.
crows are such a big problem in japan that some areas have even set up special task forces to deal with them. one of the more interesting recent developments is the speculation that ravens may be fairly intelligent creatures with the ability to recognize individual pe
