“While the problem of abandoned outdoor dining s “While the problem of abandoned outdoor dining sheds has given rise to community complaints, it seems to be mainly a Manhattan problem, and on the whole, Brooklyn restaurants and their dining sheds are doing well — with some exceptions. The outdoor dining program has been widely hailed as having saved the restaurant industry during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Read the rest of our “NYC begins removing unused, derelict outdoor dining sheds” article, which is linked in our bio.

It tells young queer people that they must flee their rural hometowns to far-flung cities in order to find safety and acceptance.” Read the rest of our “How gay rodeos upend assumptions about life in rural America” article, which is linked in our bio.
“The last time these detainees awaiting trial we “The last time these detainees awaiting trial were free, Eli Manning was quarterback for the Giants, Bill de Blasio was in the middle of his first mayoral term, and Donald Trump was just taking office as president. This isn’t supposed to happen.” Read the rest of our “10 years a detainee: Why some spend years on Rikers, despite right to speedy trial” article, which is linked in our bio.
