The Hit List

By The Scene staff | April 4

1. www.grocerylists.org Wacky dude Bill Keaggy has amassed more than 700 grocery lists. How they wind up in his hands is rather mysterious: people find them and mail them to him, or he collects them from parking lots and linoleum floors of grocery stores.

Opinion: Seeds of Peace makes love, not war

By Micah Winograd | March 31

Peace is often a hard commodity to come by in this world. Far too often, people resort to violence to solve their disputes, rather than discussion and compromise.
