Just over a month after a Waymo autonomous car hit and killed KitKat, the beloved Mission bodega cat, Randa's Market welcomed a new feline to its store late last week: Coco, a six-month-old white kitty with blue eyes, who is already winning over dozens of customers daily. "There won't be another KitKat, but she's bringing a spark back to the neighborhood," said a man named AJ as he left the 16th and Valencia store after petting Coco on his way out.

The Street Where Santa Lives by Harriet Howe and Julia Christians, Little Tiger, 12.99 When an old man moves in on a busy street, only his little neighbour notices; with his white beard and round belly, she's convinced he's Santa. But when Santa falls ill, other neighbours must rally round to take care of him. Will he be better in time for Christmas? This sweet, funny, acutely observed picture book is a festive, joyous celebration of community.

[The list] was originally set up to celebrate women who inspire, encourage and empower people to experience the joy of cycling. By excluding trans and non-binary people, it's not doing what I think it was set up to do. It excludes people [who] have helped create the community that I was nominated for.

The 69-year-old, who is also mayor of the neighbouring village of Urschenheim, obtained a liquor license several months ago when a restaurant in his town closed down, which authorises him to sell strong alcoholic beverages. 'Extra touch of soul' The establishment is home to 127 residents, and a growing number of them are losing their independence and can no longer go to restaurants.

What is the ArtsWatch community? Last fiscal year ... It's the 91 staff, contributors, board, contractors, and volunteers who had a hand in its operations.

It's the collaborations with community partners.

It wasn't a neat or simple story. Some chapters were joyful. Kids walking through newly striped crosswalks on the way to school. Neighbors stretching together at Yoga in the Park. Volunteers turning Saratoga Nights into a real thing instead of just an idea in someone's notebook. The first episodes of the Saratoga History Podcast, with longtime residents sharing what this place meant to them long before Zillow and smartphones.

It's been proven that doing good makes us feel good, so there's no reason we cannot lean more into it

M olly Dunn had always wanted to join a book club. Until last winter, the twenty-five-year-old had been too busy or distracted to find the right one. The opportunity to start one struck when she began a new job as a sales associate at BMV, a Toronto bookstore. With her manager's permission, she set a date for the inaugural meeting and posted an announcement to the store's Instagram page. The question was: Would anyone come?

In a world full of terror, destruction, fear and alienation, it's sometimes hard to see that there are many people out there who are determined to keep on watering their own little patch of land, not for the applause nor the acclaim, but just because they believe in the saying that no act of kindness, great or small, is ever wasted.

In this difficult time that is the quarantine, most of us have to work from home, which means we don't get to see our colleagues. However, there's the next best thing: our pets!

If not for Jane Jacobs, Susan Spehar might still be living in a big lonely house in the suburbs. Spehar and her husband had raised their kids in Darien, Connecticut, in a place with a pool and a yard and rooms that emptied as their kids left for college. After her husband's death and in search of noise and friendship, she found a rental in Greenwich Village.

This neighbour of mine was a retired engineer, a Norfolk boy, and a follower of both first team and academy, home and away. He was just one of thousands with a season ticket at the back of Carrow Road's lower Barclay stand: a Saturday afternoon companion, a stranger at the start of the last season who became a little less strange as the matches went by.

Two years after clinching 1 BTC in a national competition of Bitcoin meetups at Bitcoin 2023, the Tampa Bay Bitcoin Meetup -now formalized as the nonprofit Bitcoin Bay Foundation-has channeled the prize into a thriving local ecosystem.

On a sunny fall morning, children wearing helmets and backpacks gathered with their parents in Montclair, New Jersey, for a group bicycle ride to two local elementary schools. Volunteers in orange safety vests made sure everyone assembled in a neighborhood shopping area was ready before the riders set off on their 5-mile "bike bus" route. Every few blocks, more adults and kids on bikes joined in. Eventually, the group grew to over 350 people.

We know things are hard for a lot of people right now, and Crumbl, our franchise partners, and our bakers felt like everyone could use a cookie to make their day a little brighter.

Bob's got its start in the 1950s when an entrepreneur named Bob opened a modest donut shop on Polk Street. In the 1970s, Elinor, a single mom and Korean immigrant, bought the shop and ran it while raising two kids.

What began as casual rehearsals in a basement has evolved into a polished, high-energy sound that blends the city's grit with a fearless approach to experimentation. Pan Arcadia is a five-piece band that has grown from high school jam sessions to one of New York's most exciting rising acts. Hailing primarily from New York, with drummer Brian representing Connecticut, the group's members met in middle and high school and have been making music together ever since.

In the working-class city of Commerce, where cars speed past on highways and the Citadel Outlets tower over neighborhoods, there is a steakhouse named Stevens. By day, it's a classic and charming old restaurant where working people go for quiet, hearty meals.

If you're following me or decide to check out my profile after reading this, you'll notice something funny - there's exactly one post, and that too from 3 years ago. No, I wasn't dead, just alive and swimming hard in the AI race :). Things have gone too far - we all turned 3 more years older, but the world seems to have advanced 30 years ahead according to experts, I guess. ChatGPT became part and parcel of everything, everyone started chanting AI..AI..AI.
