Singer/musician/poet/actor/spoken word performer Saul Williams was seen perusing the street fair on Broadway between 116th and 110th earlier today. Don’t worry if the smell of grilled meats and sound of raucous children kept you away from the fair: Bwog missed him too. Williams was seen chatting and taking pictures with fans. He’s supposed to be […]

Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s ESC meeting. The council voted to yesterday to extend the campaigning period until the end of voting.
