From there, a swap unfolds like a standard real estate transaction. Both sides have to be approved for loans. On Dec. 30, the Petroccos sold their townhome to Shan for $197,000 and bought her house for $289,000. The Petroccos now pay $500 more than they used to each month on their mortgage. Shan pays $550 less a month and squirreled away the profit...

Tommy Doyle’s great upstairs venue was well-lit with a low-slanted cabin ceiling, a small but very visible stage, and good sound. In fact, despite the weirdly...

Its production does continue to take place in the heart of our society, in the center of our cities. This art is not merely a commodity of pleasure, to be bartered and sold on the market, to be consumed by those with the money to buy it. No, the public here, like that of the original, natural forms of art, is the surrounding community. There’s performance art, which takes place in the public sphere. Some of it is like that...
