The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

New Orleans, LA

An icon of New Orleans’s live jazz scene, the Palm Court Jazz Cafe, is closing after 35 years, says owner Nina Buck. Buck posted a message to the venue’s website earlier this week, noting the Palm Court would permanently close its doors on June 2. “We regret this decision but we have had to make it for a variety of reasons; financial and rising costs have made it impossible for us to continue and maintain our high standards,” Buck wrote. Trad jazz has been a thing at Palm Court Jazz Cafe since 1989, where Nina and George Buck hosted legendary New Orleans musicians like Danny Baker and Topsy Chapman. It was a reliable, nostalgic destination for dinner and a show, with longtime chef Bobby Davis cooking up New Orleans classics like fried oysters, gumbo, and crab cakes with Hollandaise. The Palm Court’s final shows are scheduled Wednesday through Sunday nights through through the end of May; call for reservations.
