...sunken hopes since its last World Series trophy, October 26 was finally a night fans want to remember. On downtown blocks that usually go dark by 11 p.m., skyscraper lights burned into the wee hours with "Go Sox" signs flashing in their windows. On Michigan Avenue, the city's main drag, cars full of whooping, face-painted fans slowed traffic to a crawl. In the blue-collar Southside Bridgeport neighborhood, Sox home turf, giddy mobs of grown-ups in Sox regalia (a few of whom appeared old enough to have been around for the last Sox win) descended...
Flat Patties’ menu is distinct from Felipe’s but it will also offer quick eats at low prices, says Brush. The restaurant’s main focus will be hamburgers and roast beef sandwiches, while daily specials, sandwiches, and salads will also be offered...

...Dumplings” is linked with the second segment, “Cut,” by a crunching, slurping, sucking sound that begins as Mrs. Lee eating and becomes the sound of a vampire feeding. The vampire is in a horror movie directed by the main character of the segment, who sets the movie in an apartment that looks just like his house. This and other bits of meta trickery lend a self-mocking element to the short, but it becomes horrific when a disgruntled extra imprisons the director, ties up his wife just out of reach, and threatens...
