By Bwog Staff on Aug 05, 2011 36 Comments

Boringside Heights: Got Brits? Edition

By Bwog Staff on Aug 03, 2011 27 Comments

The West Way Café has transformed. The diner isn’t open yet, but it’s not clear what we should expect. The only culinary feature of note in Manchester, England, is its Curry Mile, but this Manchester’s decor doesn’t hint at any South Asian flavors… One could also entertain hopes of a budget-friendly eatery, given that Manchester, […]

Hawkma Returns

By Bwog Staff on Jul 28, 2011 22 Comments

Like the magnificent phoenix, Hawkmadinejad has risen from the ashes and returned to Columbia. While Bwog’s crack team of orithonologists cannot confirm whether these two photos are of the same hawk, both birds sport a large white patch on the upper chest.
