What Gentrification Does To Communities
Such urban neighborhoods appeal to money-strapped younger people as well as empty-nesters who enjoy city life and don’t want to depend on a car. And dense neighborhoods work for low-income earners if jobs are accessible by mass transit. The growing market for such neighborhoods—the classic gentrification magnet—is colliding with the reality that there are not enough of them in cities around the country.
Here’s How To Pick Who Will Win The Man Booker Prize
With a different set of judges each year, it is a fool’s errand to try to guess the eventual winner. So I have always had a simple formula: never judge the books – study the judges.
Uh-Oh, What Did Patti LuPone Say This Time?
“I am exacting, and I push. If someone has the talent they have the RIGHT to be temperamental.

Translating Victorian Biograph Movies Into IMAX Format
Says British Film Institute curator of silent film Bryony Dixon, “With nearly all of the people I’ve shown these films to there is an audible gasp when they see something from 120 years ago and they look new. That’s a very strange feeling. All of those things that tell you something is old have been stripped away.”

“I realized during the first ballet I did, the first original work I did [for the Louisville Ballet] was in the fall of 2016, that it was pretty much about my unsuccessfulness in relationships.” Robert Curran was in a seven-year relationship with Hallberg. He reflected on the relationship with the benefit of time, distance and a renewed self-awareness. “When I opened my eyes to what was going on, we might have been together for seven years, but we weren’t together for seven years,” said Curran.
