It was the first tree lighting at Copley in three years, as the 141-year-old park was in need of some renovations. Nearly $19 million was spent to promote what the city touted as increased shade, seating and accessibility. The park closed in July 2023 for construction. When the square was partially reopened earlier this year for marathon weekend, critics said removing grass and replacing it with concrete made it look sterile." "Before, it was a beautiful field, lots of space to gather and have picnics, and people are sad that we lost it," one parkgoer said in April. "They replaced it with a lot of gray." The reaction was so…...

7+ hour, 14+ min ago (704+ words) Dating apps and I are mortal enemies. I've never liked them. When I first started trying them out, there were absolutely no gender options outside of "male" and "female." I'd blink a few times before hitting "female" and feel like I was lying to myself and everyone else. To make up for it, I'd aggressively add my pronouns to my bio and hope that was enough.

At the very least, you need a solid bio and…...

During the Gilded Age, new money described the financiers like the Vanderbilts or Rockefellers, who made their fortune rather than inherited it." Today, the general rule of thumb among social scientists is that money must be sustained for at least three generations to be considered old money. In the modern-day perspective, the new money…...
