Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

This is absurd. Parking is easy to come by in this neighborhood.
coffee beer (lovely little coffeee shop/taproom on se 42nd and gladstone) posted on instagram that their patio is going away because they can’t afford $3000 in fees on top of another $3-5000 in construction costs to bring the patio up to code

if a street kills this many pedestrians it should get knocked down to 2 lanes, 15 mph, speed bumps, new concrete protected bike lanes, and this should happen within a few months
Calle Cesar Chavez is a high-volume arterial with a 30 mph speed limit, four general travel lanes and a notorious history of fatal crashes.

The oyster bar owners are really good people, which can be rarer than we'd like, and this is the type of small business owners we need to succeed. Make it down there for a meal.
The venerable seafood restaurant has been family-owned for four generations.

Just what I heard from every suburban Milwaukee voter last year. "All I want is an endless occupation of Venezuela."
As rumors of a U.S. war on Venezuela swirl, military documents show plans to feed a buildup of troops in the region for years.

Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.
