As lovely as the Five Sisters are, [Jim Williams], an Eastwood resident, realizes they are not for everyone. "I live in the city because it is accessible, but some people are never going to live in the city." And yet, he's convinced that the clientele for city living-and urban values-is growing. "In a city neighborhood, people are more engaged," Williams said. "Some people don't like living so close to their neighbors, but I think it fosters a sense of community. [Patrick McGowan] was correct in predicting that Sabre would love the sisters as much as he did. The two are now the proud owners of the fourth "sister." "Once I saw the Five Sisters, it was magical. I couldn't even talk," Sabre explained. "I couldn't believe how beautiful the house was, inside and out. It was really something...

Surely enough ink has been spilled over whether a women's picture can own the weekend box office, or if Carrie and company can find a crossover audience. Still, it raises the hackles: You can't really get around the inherent sexism in the speculation, not to mention the sniggering. As a female critic, I've never felt the need to turn snide every time some post-adolescent suits up in tights to save the world. (Because those movies are made for boys, and this movie's made for girls. Did I get that right?) The film opens with trademark narration from writer Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) that details the goings-on-and turnings-on-of herself and her trio of best gal pals. We pick up several years after the series' finale, with Carrie on the precipice of cohabitation with her longtim...

CALHAN - City slickers got a small taste of county life at the El Paso County Fair on Sunday afternoon when they milked their first cow. Princess the cow didn't seem to mind as 20-plus kids and adults pulled her teats to shoot milk into a bucket during the Mikita Dairy milking demonstration.

PAICINES, Calif. - The morning sun lights up blue lupin and magenta owl's clover as Erik Ramfjord and Andrew Riddle scoop soured milk into a trough, drawing delighted squeals from a dozen free- range pigs. A month ago, Ramfjord was an unmotivated biology major in Oregon, and Riddle didn't know what he wanted from Humboldt State University in northern California. Now they are energized, toiling from sun up to sun down for meals and a bunk on an organic ranch in central California, hundreds of miles from home.

About a year ago, WSCP put a signal on at 101.3," recounts Ed Levine, chairman and chief executive officer of Galaxy. "For 30 years WSCP's been at 101.7. In some circles it's still regarded strictly as quote-unquote, that little Pulaski station. We wanted to make a statement that--while we're proud of the heritage of WSCP--it's much more than that little Pulaski station now and it, in fact, has a Syracuse signal. The best way to do that is to have an event right in the heart of Syracuse. The venue for most downtown country concerts in recent years has been the Landmark Theatre, where Trisha Yearwood, Neal McCoy and Diamond Rio, among others, failed to sell out the house. In general, downtown is far less boot-scootin' that it was even as recently as the 1990s. That slump will be severe...

It really becomes your neighborhood. You're recognized as a local," [Troy Vaughn] said of his tight-knit downtown network. "I've cut my gas consumption almost in half because I don't drive anywhere. There really is no reason - everything's right there.

Did You Hear About the Morgans?" is about as stereotypical as a stereotypical romantic comedy can get: Male and female lead have problem; a whacky circumstance forces them together; in the end, they realize how much they love each other. Throw in some fish-out-of-water locales and dialogue that borders on the abusively mundane, and you've got romantic-comedy gold!

If you ever end up running a television network, here are two rules you must remember: It's not OK to make fun of country folks.
