The Paper.’s Michael Hodock this week gives us all a peek at AndroidVision’s gore-fest hosted by Guild Cinema.
Our food writer Kevin Hopper took a break this week from restaurant reviews to highlight a new business that’s tapped into the world of mushrooms. No, not magic mushrooms — the kind that add unique flavors to dishes.
We’ve also got words of wisdom from our very own Holistic Health Hippie about reflexology and why your feet might be the door to a healthy body.
Of course, we’ve also got readers covered on the weed front. Our cannabis writer Josh Lee has the latest on what Congress has been up to — or not up to — when it comes to federal legalization.
