We are so lucky to have a place that combines America’s three favorite past times in our own neighborhood: great beer, delicious food, and fun-filled bowling. Town Hall Lanes (5019 S 34th Ave.) is much more than your typical bowling alley. With a retro 1950s design, it’s a unique spot where friends, families, and coworkers gather to enjoy top-notch craft beer, indulge in scratch-made food, and engage in some classic bowling.

Nestled at 50th Street and Hiawatha lives a 15-year-old garden in the shape of a monarch butterfly’s wing. As an initiative of the Monarch Mile, it was created as a corridor to meet the needs of native pollinators through the different stages of their life. Many insects can’t travel far without stopping to rest, eat, for shelter, or to stay over winter. Some pollinators, such as Monarchs, lay eggs, then feed on milkweed as caterpillars and nectar as adult butterflies.

— by WILLIAM STERR —Lyd, also known as al-Lyd, Lydda, and Lod is an almost 5,000-year-old city in southern Israel, between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In this film, Lyd is a character who tells us her story (voiced by Maisaa Abd El-Hadi – “The Alleys”). The story of modern day Lyd (Lod, in Hebrew) begins in 1948 with the formation of the state of Israel and the expansive war that took place between the Israeli army and the indigenous Palestinians.
