		<description><![CDATA[One of outgoing Mayor Joseph Wilders’ best-received programs was his initiative to remove outdated ordinances from the city’s legal code (first item). However, the gratitude of the populace at no longer being required to maintain the lower edge of their moustaches above the upper lip (1871) eventually proved to have a negligible effect on his re-election prospects. Nonetheless, taking her cue from the popularity of her predecessors program, Mayor-elect Maribeth Cosgrove has announced her own initiative designed to streamline and economize the way the city does business. To demonstrate her intention to cut costs, budgets, bureaucracy, taxes and red-tape, Mayor-elect Cosgrove has announced that her administration will no longer award special recognition – and the more liberal interpretation of parking, construction and zoning regulations that thus applies – to city neighborhoods officially designated as &#8220;quarters.&#8221; In addition, the roster of  recognized city &#8220;quarters&#8221; will be rolled back to the level established in 1982, when the Hospitality Quarter became the fifth such city neighborhood to be so recognized. “I believe that five quarters are sufficient for any municipality” reads the critical line in the Mayor-elect’s press release dated November 24, 2008.

		<description><![CDATA[After a 73-year banishment, local brand Deux Élans returns to the city as part of an urban core revitalization effort by entrepreneurs planning to convert derelict breweries into brew-pubs. The popular libation brewed by Lemuel Clevinger, nephew of brewer Voornaam Goossens, was officially banished in 1934 one year after the repeal of prohibition. Then-Mayor “Boss” Wilcox is said to have taken umbrage with the potent brew after blaming it for the conception of his ninth child, an event putting him out of favor with his wife, Nellie Stetson Wilcox.
