Time for me to pick the nominees for the Hottest Boston News Woman of the year, and for you to vote on them. We have a good crop this year, so scan/ogle them all closely, and then vote for your favorite at the bottom of the page.

As usual, this year’s winner will receive nothing more than the slightly creeped-out feeling, that people actually vote on things like this.

And without further ado, the nominees for this year's Hottest Boston News Woman, complete with voting.

]]> Students In Boston: For or Against? http://www.universalhub.com/node/10276 2007-09-04T15:54:28-04:00 2007-09-04T17:17:43-04:00 irregahdless I have often opined that the large student population here in Boston is a driving force behind what makes this city so great. From the indie rock scene, to the cheap-o food and drink options, to the nerd-hungry companies that set up shop here, I have long felt that I am fortunate to live in a city with such a heavy college and college student presence.

But this weekend, as I was held hostage in my apartment, blocked in by 16 rental trucks and piles of trash, and later awakened by drunken college students screaming at 4am, I began to question how much these co-eds really bring to the city.

Maybe I was just pissed off at the inconvenience of this weekend in particular, or maybe I am just getting old...but either way, I was questioning my pro-college population stance like I never had before.

So I ask you fellow Bostonians to take my poll, and in very binary fashion, decide if the 250,000 college kids make this city a better place, or a worse place overall.
