Bostonist Bids Adieu
There's no clever way to say it: This is the last word from Bostonist. Last week, Gothamist informed me that Bostonist will be going on hiatus and the blog will be shut down. At least we outlasted the 2011 Red Sox. Most of all, I have to thank anybody who has ever read Bostonist in the past year or so since I became the editor. I appreciate knowing that so many people chose to visit this site to get my perspective on what happens in the world.

Week Around The Ists, 10/2/11
Bostonist watched the Boston Red Sox startling September collapse come to fruition. Despite a month-long decline, the season-ending double tap in Baltimore and Tampa Bay was still shocking. We don't blame Terry Francona for his "No mas" moment. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Photo of the Day, October 1, 2011: Drink Positively
Leave it to a liquor store to find a positive spin on the Red Sox disastrous 2011 season. Positive thinking, sports fans, that's the secret. Now, about those Celtics. This sign is probably better for business than a campaign contribution to Treasurer Steve Grossman....

Bicycles took over Boston on Sunday at the 2011 TD Bank Mayor's Cup. The 7th Annual race drew 5,000 participants to ride around the city. TD Bank donated $10,000 to the Boston Bike School, and will sponsor at least three more years of the race. You can see complete results here....

Week Around The Ists, 9/25/11
Bostonist is running out of ways to describe how bad the Red Sox are right now. How desperate is the situation? We might enter Mitt Romney's "Day on the Road with Mitt" contest to avoid the Sox for a day. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Hempfest 2011 Highlights
Judging from these photos, visitors to Saturday's 2011 Boston Freedom Rally, or the Boston Hempfest, at the Boston Common, ahhh, enjoyed themselves. Fans of hemp included musical performers, basketball aficionados, a guy with a tattoo, and a gigantic eye. We believe a good time was had by all, even the the guy who enjoyed too much of the weed and ended up way too close to the Red Line's third rail at Park Street station....

No, none of Fenway Rookie League Peewees are taller than Dustin Pedroia. But, these kids might actually be able to beat the Red Sox the way things are going lately....

Week Around The Ists, 9/18/11
Bostonist witnessed the arrival of Elizabeth Warren on the Senate campaign trail. We regretfully observed the death of Kara Kennedy Allen, the late Senator Ted Kennedy's oldest child, at the age of 51. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Photos of the Day, September 18, 2011: Seals
Seals are loving Cape Cod this summer. That explains why sharks love it, too. Bostonist thinks both animals are pretty cool. There were hundreds of seals where these photos were taken in Truro....

Week Around The Ists, 9/11
Bostonist learned two things, at least, this week. Aerosmith is really recording a new album, due out next year. Also, Republican presidential candidates love the Pledge of Allegiance. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Week Around The Ists, Irene Edition, 9/4/11
Gothamist weathered through Hurricane Irene with little damage in NYC but the devastation was worse upstate, with damages expected to total $1 billion. One bright spot of Irene was camaraderie—and El Bloombito. Bostonist was beaten into submission by Hurricane Irene, briefly, this week. Irene turned into a power problem in Massachusetts, except for the Patriots, and truly devastated Vermont. Power outages dwindled throughout the week as questions increased for Hawaii-loving National Grid Massachusetts President Marcy Reed. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
