Urbana enjoys a kernel of entertainment
Hot corn, cold corn and a whole lot of sweetcorn. It was 7 p.m. Friday when the Chicago bluegrass band Cornmeal took the main stage in Downtown Urbana. Most of the crowd sat on wooden chairs but a large group danced up a storm near the stage. Midway through their set, the band paid homage to the festival by challenging the crowd to count the number of times they said "corn" in the next song.

Cohasset contemporary gets its share of attention
At first glance, it isn’t easy to tell exactly what the structure is on Jerusalem Road in Cohasset.
