The Old Meets the New: Daft Charleston
Whoever said "out with the old, in with the new" didn't foresee the coming (and staying) of the dance floor disaster we call Soulja Boy. If you compare the moves we bust on the dance floor nowadays with those of the past, you'd understand why someone did everyone a favor and put the Charleston at play to Daft Punk. Let's infuse our new with a little old, shall we?

Introducing: Xylopholks
You regular readers don't need an introduction to Xylopholks, as you probably saw a reader's photograph of them busking in Cookie Monster and fuzzy pink gorilla costumes in the NYC subway. Here they are playing a xylophone classic, Charleston Capers by George Hamilton Green, on East Village Radio. They are too cute for words, and I am now totally in love with the xylophone!
From Factory Town to Forgotten: Top 10 US Cities in Decline
Ohio and Michigan may be key battleground states this election perhaps because they have the most to gain. In the list of fastest dying American cities, Ohio scored four slots and Michigan took two — it appears in these declining Rust Belt towns, there's nowhere to go but up.

Should Tour Guides Be Required to Take a History Test?
Tour guides in Philadelphia think a new city law requiring history tests before they receive a license, violates their right to freedom of speech. This new rule will require guides to pass a written test, or pay a fine, the same requirements for guides in Washington, DC, New Orleans, and Charleston, SC.
Opponents paint the law as making speech conditional on government permission.
Fred Astaire Meets Michael Jackson: Smooth Criminal
Play Fred Astaire's moves to Michael Jackson's grooves and the end effect is nothing but badass. Astaire, with his dapper good looks and command of the dance floor, was something of a "Smooth Criminal" back in the day. The man was a show stopper and scene stealer, but he's sharing the spotlight with Jacko this time around.
Lighten Up: In-Debt Hillary's Strategic Hand Gestures
This video is by far the best Hillary impression I have seen to date. SNL needs to contact this woman immediately. I actually did a double take to make sure I didn't come across a secret video of Hillary practicing a speech in her robe.
Fashion Designer Takes Her Final. . .Ow!
She missed the dress rehearsal, so when it came time for K. Morgan to walk the runway and take her final bow, the designer misstepped and made the ultimate fashion faux pas. Fortunately, her disappearing act resulted in no injuries, excluding a bruised ego, and her showing at Charleston Fashion Week was a hit!

Today, antiwar protesters gathered in London's Trafalgar Square bolstering a worldwide day of protest against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Pillow Talk: The Geography of Love
Do you love your single life? Some men and women enjoy the dating scene, while others are ready to find their soul mate. I love Charlotte from Sex and the City for summing up the single doldrums: "I've been dating since I was fifteen.
Up Up and Away
Dear Sugar I live in the North East and I'm looking for an easy 4 day getaway with my honey. Her 30th birthday is coming up and I'd like to do something special and romantic. I don't mind flying but I don't want to go too far because of time restrictions.
