Most Influential: Mike McGinn and Dow Constantine
Mayor McGinn and Executive Constantine made their mark
One sports a revolutionary’s beard, a feisty personality and a bike habit. The other evidences a Boy Scout mien, a let’s-get-along approach and a well-exercised iPod.

Fashion Friday: Very Merry Weekend Holiday Sales
Urban Craft Uprising, Christmas gift picks at Momo and a very peppermint manicure
