Ten Years Ago in City Paper: May 10, 2000
Due to technical problems, this week’s X-Content is a bit truncated: Only the feature, news, Charmed Life, and the columns are available at the moment.
The feature, by Natalie Davis, profiles the founding of the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival by computer entrepreneur Don Hooker.
In the news: The Nose shows how the Baltimore Police Department isn’t letting the sun shine in and explains how the closing of Fells Point’s St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church may spur a development battle; In Media Circus, Eileen Murphy analyzes the ascension of William Marimow as the Baltimore Sun’s editor ; and in Mobtown Beat, Terrie Snyder reports that Baltimore Police Department sergeant Robert Richards, who earlier had filed a racial-discrimination suit against the department, is cleared of sexual-harassment charges. Brennen Jensen’s Charmed Life is on the legendary Black Aggie.
The columns are: Joe MacLeod’s Mr. Wrong, getting all hot and bothered; Wiley Hall III’s Urban Rhythms, hating on The Corner; Joab Jackson’s Cyberpunk, explaining the “Love Bug” virus; and Tom Scocca’s 8 Upper, regretting a foul ball.
