A Night That Never Drags: UMass Dartmouth’s Annual Drag Show Returns Once More

In the words of the great RuPaul, “We’re born naked, and the rest is drag.” UMass Dartmouth students found some truth in this on October 15th at the annual drag show. What may at first seem like an eccentric performance is actually an act of resistance. Drag originated in the queer community to create discourse around our world’s harsh gender norms. Using makeup and song, the art highlights the importance of expression and self-exploration.

A dozen Coney Island hot dogs and a cold coffee milk can still land on the same tray here, and honestly, that combination feels hard to argue with. The dogs come dressed the old-school way, while the fries start as whole potatoes and get cut by hand for each order. I love that detail because it tells you plenty about the kitchen without needing a long explanation.

Letter to the Editor: Why I’m voting “yes” on Question 6

Cold Spring Park is my favorite place to go birdwatching in Newton, and I visit often. In the heart of our community, it’s a place for kids’ soccer practices, tennis games, cross-country meets and trips to the dog park. It’s also a place where birdwatchers have reported 27 species of warblers so far in 2026. That combination is worth protecting.
