    The walls of Serda’s Coffee Company are alive with tango dancers, young musicians, shrimp boats and a profusion of Technicolor flora and fauna. Beneath these images sit an assortment of preoccupied coffee-house regulars: a klatch of young professionals in conference; students on laptops; out-of-towners on cell phones; a respected playwright busily at work on her next project; perhaps an... Full story »

    November 07, 2009, 10:44PM
    Rasta Thomas and his Bad Boys of Dance hit the stage with a flourish Saturday night. They leapt, wiggled and somersaulted — and they showed no small measure of musical talent as well.
