...with advertisers who are willing to pay for window space, conveniently located at eye level of anyone walking or driving by. The ads go from floor to ceiling and are pretty hard to miss. One recent Chicago project advertised Intel over the entire façade of a now defunct Comp USA store...

All six of the previous Fun Czars have been white students, and lately they’ve been cut from the Crimson Key/House Committee/Harvard Concert Commission cloth—students who found more delight in the now-defunct Disney Singalong program than they did in increased funding for Yardfest artists.

Shot nearly two years ago and financed by the now-defunct New Line Cinema, this moony love story connected with female audiences in an unusually crowded marketplace for femme films. Four of the top 10 films were romances, as couples could also choose the love-of-food bio-pic Julie & Julia, in fourth place; Katherine Heigl's The Ugly Truth, in eighth; and the she-loves...
