The “Top Stories” post has to start with an apology and correction for the lead story.
As was noted on Twitter: the top story about a new milkshake bar in Old Town did not have a joke about the 2003 hit song by Kelis “Milkshake.” This was an oversight on the part of the site editors.
I am deeply disappointed in AlxNow for posting a whole article on a milkshake shop and not once mentioning how many boys it will bring to the yard.

The Crazy Mason will, surely, bring all the boys to the yard.
