NEW YORK -- Something nice is happening on the radio. On this Memorial Day weekend, a disc jockey with the sentimental heart of a patriot is playing music from some other America.It's the America in which we all want to believe but sometimes don't. It's the America of bravery and romance, and of shining cities, and it's the America where everybody gets a fair shot.But it's the America we sometimes feel too cynical to imagine anymore. Here's the kicker: It's a foreign-language radio station, 105.9 on this city's FM dial.

I BOLTED out the front door one cold night this week to meet friends for a movie. I promised to meet them at 7 and figured I could cut my time fairly close -- distances in the city are short, and it's amazing how quickly you can get around Baltimore when you're not afraid of the geography. Still, I received a short and sweet lesson in urban misconceptions when I got to the door of the Charles Theatre. It being a chilly Wednesday night in what I assumed was an off-the-beaten-track place, I thought, the lobby would be empty.

Forno, a great-looking new restaurant and wine bar located across the street from the Hippodrome Theatre , opened as quietly as it could in late February just as the blockbuster musical "The Book of Mormon" pulled into town. Emina Dukic, who co-owns Forno with her husband, Bryan Noto, has said she wants Forno to be not only an amenity for the theater crowd but for residents of an emerging west-side neighborhood in and around the sprawling campus of the University of Maryland.

NEW YORK -- By 9:15 in the morning, there were 67 people in line outside the Royale Theater on West 45th Street, around the corner from Shubert Alley and in the heart of that part of midtown Manhattan known as the theater district or, more specifically, Broadway. When the doors opened a little after 10, there were more than 140, all there with one goal, one dream: to get a job in a Broadway show.But this was not just any Broadway show. The show was "Miss Saigon," the hit London musical that has been the subject of much racial controversy in the last two months, and the audition was specifically for ethnic minority actors -- Asian actors, black actors, Hispanic actors, American Indian actors.
