Comedic dynamo (and Amy Schumer squad member ) Bridget Everett has made her name as the go-to gal for raunchy laughs. Anyone who’s seen footage of her live performances — or her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon   — knows that she is, quite simply, a force. An Amazonian beauty with a powerhouse set of pipes and a penchant for chardonnay, the woman known as the Cabaret Hurricane runs around the room motorboating and mounting audience members , whether they like it or not. (They usually like it.) The word confident might spring to mind, though it feels like a little sissy of an adjective given the off-the- wall artistic cataclysm that is a Bridget Everett show .  But when it came to playing the hard-living, not-always- nice Barb Dombrowski in the drama Patti Cake$ — about a young woman trying to escape her dead-end New Jersey town by becoming a rap star — Everett felt wobbly. We caught up with her on a rare day off. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I spoke to [ Patti ...

On a humid July night , the Nuyorican Poets Caf é reeked of must and marijuana. An age-old music venue tucked away on a tree-lined street in New York’s Alphabet City, the small space was packed tightly with twentysomethings dressed in baggy pants and skate T-shirts, fanny packs slung across their torsos. They were gathered to see the night’s main act, Wiki, the rapper best known as one-third of the hip- hop crew Ratking . When Wiki emerged, all five feet seven of him, the crowd exploded. “Let’s get it,” he said, his grin exposing a wide gap on the top row of his teeth — the result of an unfortunate punch to the face that has become something of a trademark for the 23-year-old. And then he started rhyming: “ I like Sunday dinner lounging/Kids in the crib clowning/City park kids running through the fountains, man/I like the mountain.” Everything about Wiki is straight New York. Born Patrick Morales , he’s a half-Irish, half–Puerto Rican self-described mutt from the city’s Upper West Si...

Chico’s street names have meanings, some clear and some obscure. New residents quickly learn that the first letters of Chestnut, Hazel, Ivy, Cherry and Orange streets — which line up east to west — spell out Chico, but there are a number of streets in the vicinity of Chico State University that aren’t so obvious. They include: Normal Avenue Chico State University traces its roots to the state Normal School — a teachers college — that was established in 1887 on a cherry orchard Chico founder John Bidwell donated to the state. Normal Avenue was originally called Sycamore Street , but the name was changed when the college arrived. Normal is also a bit abnormal in that the vast majority the roads south of Big Chico Creek are streets, but Normal is an avenue. Most of the roads north of the creek are avenues. Mechoopda Street/Rancheria Drive These two streets between West Sacramento and West First avenues, between Warner and North Cedar streets , reference the Indian rancheria that u...

Building cranes on an urban skyline are a common sign that a city is experiencing redevelopment. (Adolphe Pierre-Louis/Albuquerque Journal) Optimism was in the air in early 2007 when preliminary plans got underway for a four- story housing project a block south of Central Avenue at the east end of Nob Hill. “Over the next decade, you’re going to see the entire landscape in that area change,” Chicago- based developer Rick Goldman told the Journal in an article from February of that year.
