Many Cities Fear the ‘Doom Loop.’ - WSJ wsj.com/podcasts/the-j…
WSJ: “The Mental-Health Benefits Linked to Going to Church. Places of worship can provide community and belonging, which are big drivers in mental well-being.” Community & belonging, yes. Forgiving & being forgiven works wonders for mental well-being too. wsj.com/health/wellnes…
In 1910 Buffalo had a higher population than San Francisco, LA, DC, Seattle, Dallas, Houston. Also remarkable that St. Louis was #4 overall.

I’ve seen it across America: first comes the Walmart on edge of town decimating the Main Street economy. Then, comes the Dollar stores - with their smaller footprint, now to the center of town - to scavenge any remaining table scraps of the local economy. wsj.com/business/retai…
Seattle's historic Denny Mansion faces demolition. The “Denny Party” is widely credited for founding Seattle. They were a group of pioneers - most from the Denny family - that traveled by wagon and boat from Cherry Grove, Illinois to Alki Point in 1851. seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-mag…

This is the president of Latvia. It's completely inappropriate for officials of small, former Soviet states to be using their NATO membership as a shield for provocative anti-Russia rhetoric. To actually sustain public support for NATO, behaviors like this must be stopped.
