Temporary Worlds: Visits to Three New Art Showsnew
Last weekend, I visited three exhibitions: Private Spaces: The Kansas & Florida Project at the Crealde School of Art, Migration 2 at Julio Lima's Orange Studio and Mixed at the Pound Gallery. A process of narrowing the field ensued and essentially came down to which art left a significant impression in my memory and why.

Florida Dodges the School Voucher Bulletnew

The Orlando Council Watchnew
It had been ages -- OK, five unbearably long weeks -- since the last opportunity to sit inside the city machine and listen to progress slowly ticking, but from the looks of things it must have been much longer.

Is this the beginning or is it the end? Splashed up like a barnacled seashell on the vacant coast of Bar-BQ-Bar’s early-Wednesday-night liquor drip, a few – very few – thoughts come to mind.

This Little Undergroundnew
Local trio Basements of Florida is the latest intelligent rock band worth real attention (Aug. 29, Taste). Comprising only drums and dueling bass guitars, they powered through songs that were propulsive and dynamic.

A website, brought to you by Portland, Ore.'s Planned Parenthood of Columbia-Willamette, is called Take Care Down There (www.takecaredownthere.org), and it's all about sex ed. It's direct, forthright and pretty damn funny. Plus it gives kids valuable info, like how to use a condom and the fact that oral sex can transmit disease.
