Hop the train to Hingham chic and cuisine
Scarlet Oak Tavern, the town's newest restaurant, housed in an 18th-century Colonial on Main Street, is getting rave reviews. A $1 million renovation created an expansive dark wood bar and accompanying seating area that accommodates up to 100. The dining room features glamorous leather banquettes. Known for its steaks, with six cuts available daily, and an assortment of sides - butternut squash with maple syrup glaze and cornbread stuffing - the restaurant also prepares inventive seafood dishes. "The town has changed a lot since I started doing business here," says Libby. "Hingham went from being real conservative to being a little more cutting edge, a little more modern. It's progressive now; the crowd here is a little younger. The town is really on the map, and yet it still has that classic New England feel." Indeed it does, with its 5-mile-long elm-tree-lined Main Street (once called by Eleanor Roosevelt "the most beautiful Main Street in America"), broad village green, and 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century architecture.
Fans unhappy with AFL's pre-season NAB Cup competition
FOOTY fans are disenchanted with the AFL's pre-season title, the NAB Cup, an exclusive Herald Sun online poll has found.

The poll results follow allegations that Sydney coach Paul Roos urged one of his players, Jarrad McVeigh, to help ensure the Swans lost their first-round NAB Cup game.

Time for a fresh start
And here in the Cape Fear region, we ring in the new year on roller skates. At least a few dozen did this year, when the Round-A-Bout Skating Center opened its doors to the youngest revelers at noon. Those who preferred to celebrate without wheels took to the streets in Southern Pines, the ballroom at the Holiday Inn Bordeaux and the dance floor at the Big Apple. Here’s a countdown of all the fun: 3:20 p.m. at the Round-A-Bout Skating Center’s Almost New Year Skate: The rules of the game are simple. When Daniel Honan yells green light: Go. When he yells yellow light: Slow down. When he yells red light: Stop. The first skater to span the Round-A-Bout rink and touch the wall on the other side wins a free item from the concession stand.
As gentrification spreads, rich, poor seek a balance
A block from the Pine Street Inn, near the 3-month-old yoga studio, the year-old Asian furniture boutique, and all the recently finished condo complexes, Ali R. Yagcioglu has jazzed up his taqueria with arty splashes of paint and has raised prices - not to squeeze the yuppies flooding the neighborhood, but to keep out those who stay at the homeless shelter. Across town, developers of a new boutique hotel have encouraged the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans next door to rebrand itself a "center," even offering to pay for a new sign. Near the old Combat Zone, where condos now sell for seven figures, the homeless at St. Francis House watch television in a new waiting area built with money from their neighbor, the Ritz-Carlton; the addition helps keep them from loitering outside.
