Original Taco Bell Sign in Savannah, Georgia

July 31, 2021

Drivers might do a double-take on seeing this particular version of the Taco Bell sign, located in Savannah, Georgia. Older fast-food aficionados, though, would recognize it as the Mexican-inspired chain’s first logo. The brightly colored shapes suggest a figure wearing a large sombrero and a serape, sitting on a tilted bell. This logo was in use for the first 10 years of Taco Bell’s existence, from 1962 to 1972. For the next few years after that, the company’s official……

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — Much as she did at the 2019 World Cup, U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher came up big at the Olympics in the tensest of moments. Naeher made three crucial penalty saves for the United States in its quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, one in regulation and two during a shootout, that kept the Americans alive at the Tokyo Games. And with that, Naeher cemented a reputation for stunning saves that save the day. Megan Rapinoe said…

TOKYO (AP) — Streaking down the track, with only six steps to go until she reached the finish line, Elaine Thompson-Herah stuck out her left arm and started pointing at the clock. She knew she had the win. It was only a matter of what else would come with it.

NEW YORK (AP) — If NBC’s Michele Tafoya expected exultation or tears of joy from American swimmer Caeleb Dressel when she asked how it felt to reach his dream of an Olympic gold medal, that’s not what she got. He was happy, but hurting. “It’s a really tough year,” he said. “It’s really hard.” Olympic athletes, most notably gymnast Simone Biles, haven’t been afraid to express the mental and emotional difficulties they’ve faced during these pandemic games, a development…

The Youth Reforesting Puerto Rico With Soursop,...

July 30, 2021

When the fury of Hurricane Maria subsided long enough to allow Amira Odeh to leave her grandmother’s home in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, she stepped into a terrifying scene. “It was like waking up in a sci-fi, alien-invasion kind of movie,” she says. “All of this destruction.” The storm that swept through the Caribbean in the fall of 2017 devastated Puerto Rico, where Odeh was born and raised. High winds, floods, and landslides killed people across the island, destroyed the……

The Leaning Brownstone in Brooklyn, New York

July 30, 2021

Walking past 633 Union Street, you may not notice anything’s amiss at first. But if you step back and take another look, you may notice that the building is off-kilter. A closer inspection also shows mismatched brickwork that curves slightly inward on the right side. An awning on the front of the building identifies it as the Leaning Brownstone. Despite its name, the building is not a brownstone, as it is not a townhouse made of brown sandstone nor was……
