■ Does the Buffalo-Fort Erie bridge corridor need more traffic lanes?
■ If there is a new bridge, what kind of bridge shall it be?
■ If there is a new bridge, what shall be its plaza configurations on the American and Canadian sides?

Building a beautiful new Peace Bridge that is modern in its aspect, efficient in its purpose, and cheaper to maintain in the long run makes good sense. But for all the 15 years that the expansion of Peace Bridge operations has been on the table, the greatest direct benefit to the city lay in the chance to redesign the Public Bridge Authority’s Customs operations, both in Canada and the United States.

On the day when Barack Obama’s pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright came to Washington to confront the press for its hypocrisy, a little-known member of the Bush Cabinet gave an astounding speech about the nuts-and-bolts of America’s future. The media were all over Wright. There is still a hole where the other spoke.

“Many of my young patients think about getting plastic surgery the way they’d think about getting their hair done,” explained Dr. David Alessi of Beverly Hills, Calif., who is still amazed at women’s willingness to endure “extreme” cosmetic alterations. “Vaginal rejuvenation” (labiaplasty) might be the most sensational procedure, but surgeons also do “forehead implants” and ankle and shoulder liposuction, break and reset jaws to tweak smiles, and lengthen or shorten toes (for “toe cleavage” with certain shoes).

Barbara Weissberger’s pieces fall into two categories. Her wall installations are elaborate pieces which blend her own photographs, magazine cut-outs, and comic book insertions that are then digitally pieced together in collages. They are organized in mirror images inspired by the symmetry of Rorschach inkblots. These are then printed out as smooth and seamless images that allow her to affix them without the appearance of scissor cut-outs and glue. Some take up an entire wall of the gallery.

Sergio Neglia is premiering an all new production of Romeo and Juliet, but the feeling is definitely old school. Neglia, Buffalo’s own Argentinian-born ballet star, is a traditionalist at heart, and when it comes to putting his mark on Shakespeare’s classic tale of star-crossed lovers, he harks back to an earlier era.

When Avenue Q opened on Broadway in 2003, there were those of us who joked about its ability to tour. Its frank language, irreverent observations about everything from racism to politics to gay rights—not to mention its full-puppet nudity and full-throttle puppet sex—would certainly be a first for touring houses more accustomed to Kiss Me Kate and The Sound of Music. And yet, an unusually full Tuesday night audience at Shea’s embraced the show with vigorous enthusiasm, and laughed the hardest at the socially most inappropriate jokes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your power symbol for the week is an ant carrying a potato chip. It means you’ll possess so much strength that you’ll be able to hold aloft burdens that are much bigger than you. More than that, Aries. You’ll look graceful doing it. And here’s the kicker. That giant load you carry may ultimately provide nourishment not only for you but also for everyone back at the nest.

My boyfriend is kind, gentle, and a good lover. He’s a really good guy. He also can’t get enough pornography. He’s not real upfront about it, doesn’t ask me to watch it with him, doesn’t leave it around the house or embarrass me with it. Nor does he deny that he looks at it online. So he’s neither hiding it or making it part of our relationship.
