ENR West Top Design Firms: West Coast Firms Move Cautiously Amid Uncertain Outlook
Design firms across the Western U.S. are navigating a year defined less by sharp downturns and more by cautious progress. While uncertainty remains, a dramatic slowdown hasn’t materialized. Clients aren’t disappearing, they’re just moving more deliberately. “It’s not that the work isn’t out there—it’s just coming with more strings attached,” says Scott Hunter, West Coast regional director and partner at HKS.
In Return to New York, Sleater-Kinney Prove They Are Still America’s Best Rock Band
You could be forgiven for wondering if, when Sleater-Kinney announced their first tour in nine years, you had missed seeing the group in its prime. You needn’t have. As it turns out, nearly a decade later, they’re still in it. The postpunk trio from the Pacific Northwest has no interest in cashing in on Nineties nostalgia.
Olympics Black Power Heroes Are Still Waiting for an Apology
Forty-eight years ago, Tommie Smith and John Carlos stood together on a podium during the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and carried out one of the most powerful silent protests the sporting world had ever seen. The two sprinters, who had just won gold and bronze, respectively, in the men’s 200-meter race, waited for the National Anthem to begin, before bowing their heads and each raising a black-gloved fist in the air.
Ludacris Just Opened His Long-Awaited “Chicken-n-Beer” Restaurant in Atlanta
“Anything that’s worth waiting for is worth having. And we are finally here—chicken and beer.� After several stops and starts—and even more false-alarm announcements—Ludacris is finally opening his Chicken-n-Beer restaurant in Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The rapper-turned-foodie has been promising fans a restaurant for years, practically since his multi-platinum album of the same name dropped over a decade ago.

Olympics Black Power Heroes Are Still Waiting for an Apology
After Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in silent protest, sports legend Brent Musburger wrote a hateful screed comparing them to Nazis. It’s time for him to say ‘sorry.’ The two sprinters, who had just won gold and bronze, respectively, in the men’s 200-meter race, waited for the National Anthem to begin, before bowing their heads and each raising a black-gloved fist in the air.
Brooklyn-Based Illustrator Adrian Tomine's Book 'Killing and Dying' Straddles Line Between Humor and 'Bumming People Out'
In 2009, Adrian Tomine had had it with graphic novels. His previous book, Shortcomings, was an extended graphic novel that made both the New York Times and Publishers Weekly "Best Of 2007" lists, but the scope of the project had taken its toll. “It took me a long time to do it, and there were certain points where I felt kind of locked into the style I'd set up for it,” says Tomine, a Brooklyn-based cartoonist and illustrator.
Pennsylvania Investor Peter Barbey Buys the Village Voice
Voice Media Group, the parent company of the Village Voice, announced today that it has sold the paper to Black Walnut Holdings, a company owned by Reading Pennsylvania-based investor and newspaper owner Peter D.

Josh Gondelman, the Man Behind 'Modern Seinfeld,' Works Out His Own Neuroses
At times it may be difficult to tell from his demeanor — the nervous pace of his speech, the often self-deprecating edge to his humor, the trademark baseball cap and horn-rimmed glasses — but so far, Josh Gondelman has actually acclimated quite well to adult life. “I consider myself a pretty well-adjusted person, but I certainly have insecurities and anxieties,” Gondelman, 30, tells the Voice.
Check Out the Strand Bookstore's Perfect Answer to Donald Trump's Hat
The "Summer of Trump" would have been nothing without the hat. That damned hat. The bulbous, grandpa-sized harness for The Donald's flailing, wispy locks. Sometimes it was white. Sometimes it was red. It was the meme that wouldn't die, even inspiring a parody Twitter account.
Here Are Four Other Times a Rat Has Been Filmed Dragging Pizza in a Subway Station
By now you've all seen the video. A rat was filmed carrying what looks to be a slice of pizza (is it or isn't it?) down a flight of stairs at the First Avenue L train station. The video was posted to YouTube by New York comedian Matt Little, and soon after, the internet went to work.

Boston Builds New York City Subway Station For Ghostbusters Set, Gets it Wrong
With production starting in Boston on the new Ghostbusters film, cameras are capturing images of various filming locations around the city. As with the original, which was released in 1984, the film takes place in New York City but is being shot elsewhere (the original was shot mostly in Los Angeles). This requires some New York-centric set pieces to be built in public places, a couple of which have already been spotted.
Gowanus Is Under Water and It's Exactly as Gross as You're Imagining
Shortly after heavy rains passed through Brooklyn this morning water from the Gowanus Canal — that 1.8-mile river of stagnant, black mayonnaise which runs through South Brooklyn — began spilling into the streets.

The NYPD Has Installed Cameras Across the City So You Won't Be Tempted to Set Off Fireworks
The New York Police Department is preparing for its annual Independence Day ritual of sweeping the five boroughs for illegal fireworks. And this year they're hoping to deter the city's aspiring pyros by installing cameras near locations that have been hotbeds of fireworks activity in the past. NYPD Chief of Patrol Carlos Gomez said the department determined the locations for the cameras and additional light towers based on 311 and 911 complaints logged over the last few years.
Eataly Tells Customers It Was the Victim of a Four-Month Credit Card Data Hack
Eataly is alerting customers who shopped at the upscale Italian market between January and April that their credit card information may have been compromised as a result of a security breach. According to a notice posted on the Eataly website, customers who used a credit or debit card at the complex's "retail marketplace" between January 16 and April 2 may be affected. Eataly announced the breach publicly via a legal notice in the Daily News on May 1.
The MTA's Etiquette Campaign Is Back and this Time Takes Aim at Bridge and Tunnelers
Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road riders be on alert: If resting your feet on the seat in front of you is your thing, your world is about to crumble. On the strength of its successful subway etiquette campaign which launched earlier this year, the MTA is now trying to improve the commuting experience for the 576,000 Metro-North and LIRR riders who, as it turns out, can be just as selfish and awful as the rest of us.
Alternate Side Parking Suspended Today, Again
Today, New Yorkers with cars will go through the now-familiar process of not getting in their cars, not pulling them over to the opposite side of the road to double-park, not waiting with their vehicles long after the city sanitation trucks have passed, for fear of parking too early and getting a ticket, and then not struggling to find a new parking spot when the chaos has finally subsided.

Jon Stewart's Five Most Memorable NYC Moments on The Daily Show
For most of the past two decades on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart has been as important a part of our political and cultural discourse as anyone. But he was often criticized for letting his New Jersey and New York City roots bleed into his show, which was otherwise directed at a national audience. He interviewed New York personalities, would sometimes send up the local story of the day, and had an odd fixation with being a vocal champion of the New York utility pizza slice .
A Bathroom-Finding App Gains Popularity, but George Costanza Got There First
There has been much ado over the past few days about the emergence in New York of the popular bathroom-finding app Airpnp. The concept behind the app is fairly simple: You're walking, you realize you have to go, the line at Starbucks is down the block, you check Airpnp, and it points you in the direction of a nearby bathroom.
Mayor De Blasio Rocks 'No Blood No Foul' T-Shirt for YMCA Workout
As he sometimes does, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio spent Sunday afternoon working out at the Prospect Park YMCA in Park Slope. He and his wife, Chirlane McCray, alternated between the weight room, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines over the course of the hour or so they were there. McCray was decked out in fashionable contemporary gym clothes.
Cuomo Says the 'Situation is Under Control' in NYC While Ebola Breaks Twitter
Reaction to the first reported case of Ebola in New York City ranged from swift and measured to explosive and histrionic as the city familiarized itself with Dr. Craig Spencer, his exercise habits, and his bowling game.
George Carlin Gets His 'Way,' Has Final Say With His Former Church
It took three years, two mayors, and, ultimately, two city blocks, but tomorrow New York City will finally rename part of one of its streets after George Carlin. And the Catholic Church isn't even complaining. At least, not anymore. Carlin, the comedian and iconoclast known for his profanity-laced rants skewering, among other things, religion and government, grew up on 121st Street and Broadway in Manhattan's Morningside Heights.

The crane that collapsed on the site of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s No. 7 line subway extension project in New York City had passed its most recent inspection in January and was set for another one this week, a source close to the project has told ENR.
