First of all, Dimes Square isn’t a square, it’s a triangle. Technically, the infamous headquarters of a hyper-specific, hyper-online scene of overeducated young tastemakers (Artists? Influencers? Rich kids? Whatever) falls at the intersection of Ludlow Street and Canal on New York’s Lower East Side, but metaphorically, Dimes Square occupies both a number of adjacent city blocks and the minds of New York City media professionals, few of whom have yet grown tired of talking about the place. In the past few weeks alone, the trend pieces and analyses have continued to stack up. On Aug. 9, The New York Times weighed in on the burgeoning Catholicism trend : young Dimes Square acolytes like Wet Brain podcaster Honor Levy are acknowledging their mortal sins and embracing religious ritual, apparently. In July, Women’s Wear Daily ran two Dimes Square pieces in one day; a particularly dizzying scene dispatch in The Baffler from May proclaims that “this [Dimes Square] moment is … [Read more...] about How Dimes Square Became the New York City Neighborhood We Love to Hate

Big climate bill: Major new spending to spur green energy
By SETH BORENSTEIN, MATTHEW DALY and MICHAEL PHILLIS WASHINGTON (AP) — After decades of inaction in the face of escalating natural disasters and sustained global warming, Congress hopes to make clean energy so cheap in all aspects of life that it’s nearly irresistible. The House is poised to pass a transformative bill Friday that would provide the most spending to fight climate change by any one nation ever in a single push. Friday’s anticipated action comes 34 years after a top scientist grabbed headlines warning Congress about the dangers of global warming. In the decades since, there have been 308 weather disasters that have each cost the nation at least $1 billion, the record for the hottest year has been broken 10 times and wildfires have burned an area larger than Texas. The crux of the long-delayed bill, singularly pushed by Democrats in a closely divided Congress, is to use incentives to spur investors to accelerate the expansion of clean energy such as wind and solar … [Read more...] about Big climate bill: Major new spending to spur green energy
Mary Gauthier uses songwriting to help people through trauma
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Having used songwriting to navigate her own trauma, Mary Gauthier is putting those skills to work helping others do the same. The Nashville-based musician has collaborated with war veterans to write about what they've been through, even producing a disc of the music, and more recently sat with health care workers who were on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gauthier still writes for herself, and her most recent album “Dark Enough to See the Stars” reflects the love found with partner and fellow musician Jaimee Harris, and the sadness of losing friends like John Prine and Nanci Griffith. Yet through her workshops and the book she wrote, “Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting,” Gauthier has become increasingly interested in how music can mean more than something to listen to. “I couldn't make sense of a lot of things in my life, and I use … [Read more...] about Mary Gauthier uses songwriting to help people through trauma
Over $2B announced for roads, bridges, bike lanes across US
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 U.S. transportation officials announced $2.2 billion for local infrastructure projects on Thursday, paving the way for new bridges, roads, bike lanes, railways and ports in scores of communities across the country. The competitive grants are more than double the amount awarded the previous year under the same program. The influx comes from a $1 trillion infrastructure law backed by President Joe Biden, which provided an additional $7.5 billion over five years for the grants. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the projects would help modernize America's transportation systems by making communities “safer, more affordable, more accessible and more sustainable.” Buttigieg traveled to Arizona to highlight projects in Phoenix and Tucson, each of which are getting the maximum $25 million. In Phoenix, the money will help build a new bike and pedestrian bridge connecting the north and … [Read more...] about Over $2B announced for roads, bridges, bike lanes across US

13 Denver-area breweries opening by the end of 2022
While FlyteCo Brewing will make a splash when it rolls out its second location — complete with a bowling alley and mini golf course — at the base of the former Stapleton International Airport control tower in mid-August, it’s far from the only brewery that will open its doors in the seven-county Denver region by the end of 2022. In fact, there are 13 other breweries with concrete plans to begin pouring beer, from Boulder to Castle Rock and Wheat Ridge to Aurora. Some, like FlyteCo, are from existing breweries while others will be the first efforts from brand-new business people. RELATED: New beer-centric entertainment venue prepares for take-off at former Stapleton Airport in Denver It’s possible that one or two of these will be delayed until 2023, but it’s just as likely that other breweries-in-the-works will suddenly appear on our radar and open within months. For now, however, here’s a baker’s dozen that drinkers can expect to open in the next five months. Alpine Dog … [Read more...] about 13 Denver-area breweries opening by the end of 2022
