We all know the Claremont Village. Small and quaint, with countless shops running up and down the side streets, it is home to residents and students alike. For students, the Village can be a welcome relief from the, at times, high energy pace of the Claremont Colleges. In catering to ... |

Located just east of the Harvard Square Café, The Grove Vintage is a fresh new arrival to the Village. The vintage shop fills the space previously occupied by Backwoods Vintage. But the Grove is no Backwoods; its sparkle and variety are more than enough to merit the trek into town.< ... |

It’s easy to be hard on “Parks and Recreation.” It’s a mockumentary about the day-to-day shenanigans of the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, a fictional bastion of bureaucracy and small-town Midwestern life. The show was co-created by “The Office” innovator, writer, and producer Greg Daniels, and is closely modeled ... |

For all the metaphor surrounding her name, Precious Jones doesn’t seem to mean much to the creators of this eponymous film. Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire has been exhaustively hyped as an intense viewing experience, a tale of grit and redemption. In many ways, however, Precious is ... |

I never order chicken at a restaurant—ever. It’s always the same boring bird marinated in various herbs with a spritz of lemon juice, and it spends far too long spinning in the rotisserie, sucking out all the juices the chicken originally had. Until recently, I had only eaten four versions ... |

Claremont Climax: Getting In Touch with Your Self
By Julia Gibas-Jones | Life & Style This weekend, a friend and I were making plaster casts of our breasts at an event at the Motley. She remarked that, of all her friends, I was the most comfortable and confident with my own sexuality. Her comment made me realize that sexual self-confidence is not universal. Many women learn that sex is a negative thing. Coming from a ...

TV Review: "30 Rock" Proves It Deserved Five Emmys
By Sumaiya Hashmi | Life & Style NBC’s “30 Rock” is proving how much it deserved its five Emmys, three Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild awards from last season. The fourth season starts off as strong as ever with all the comedy and quirkiness we’ve come to expect. The show has always done well with critics despite disproportionately low ratings, but these ratings have been ...

KSPC Corner: Rediscovering Americana Music on Wednesdays
By Alyssa Morris | Life & Style Abi Weber PO ’11 moonlights as an Americana DJ every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. Though KSPC plays all kinds of underground music, Americana is an oft-misunderstood genre, and its presence on KSPC is frequently ignored. “Some people get scared away from Americana because (a) they don’t know what it is, or (b) they think it’s country,” Weber said. The latter ...

Going Green: A Look at Eco-Friendly Fashion
By Ann Mayhew | Life & Style Our generation, more than any other, is concerned with sustainability and eco-friendly practices. Our interest in the environment’s well-being extends to all aspects of our lives, from simple recycling to more significant lifestyle changes such as biking instead of driving. It should come as no surprise that “going green” has even extended to the way we dress. Green fashion is an ...

KSPC Corner: November is Music Month
By Alyssa Morris | Life & Style November is music month. This is not some official, government-declared distinction. In actuality, November is, among many other things, National Novel-Writing Month, Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, American Diabetes Month, and even the month dedicated to souls in purgatory by the Roman Catholic Church. But here in Claremont, November has been taken over by KSPC. Approved activities for music month include listening to ...
