		The Second City, an improvisational and sketch comedy theater school, was named for the inferiority complex of its home town, Chicago; the poor thing lived in constant darkness, blanketed by big ol’ New York City and her tremendous theater community.
		Second City’s National Touring Company, currently a group of six, performed a three-act show consisting of a musical number, some classic sketch scenes, several silent scenes and a surprise third act, entirely improvised.
		Second City fully deserves its status as the best sketrov has to offer and Oberlin was lucky to have been included on its tour this year.

		Scott Podsednik sacrificed him to second, and pinch hitter Carl Everett moved him 90 feet closer to the Promised Land with a grounder to second.
		And so it was up to Jermaine Dye, 32 years old, perhaps not as sound of body as he once was, but in a serious groove, with a hit in each game and 2 for 3 in this one.

		Developers are relying on these stats to put the capitol city on the retail map.
		The sprawling metro area is the result of 70-year-old zoning policies created to separate residential areas from the chemical factories and other industrial areas that fuel Baton Rouge's economy.
		Despite an 8.6 percent drop in the population between 1990 and 2000, due in part to residents moving to bigger cities, such as New Orleans or smaller, neighboring parishes like Livingston to save on housing costs, there's still a demand for retail in mid-sized markets.

	Second City Television
		Second City Television (SCTV) was a popular comedy television show originating from Canada that ran in the late 1970s and early 1980s in a variety of incarnations.
		Pulling much of its talent and ideas from the Chicago and Toronto Second City comedy venues, the show became an important pipeline for comedians, especially Canadians, into the mainstream of the U.S. entertainment market.
		Further, this program, with its markedly satirical view of television and North American culture in general, is an important contribution to the notion that Canadian humour is ironic, self-deprecatory and parodic.
