Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

Rick Steves steps in to save Seattle-area hygiene center serving homeless residents
Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free ... But the center said in November that it would close after the property was sold to a developer.

On this day in 1984, R.E.M. played The Rathskeller in Kenmore Square, Boston, as a guest of Hüsker Dü and supported by The Kilkenny Cats and Scruffy the Cat. The Rat closed in November 1997, after 23 years in business, and was torn down three years later. A hotel now stands in its place.
