Everything is a Brand

Tree of Remembrance in Manchester, England

November 6, 2024

Piccadilly Gardens is one of the relatively few green areas within Manchester’s city center. However, the area not only contains green lawns and trees but also a major bus interchange, tram tracks (including two nearby bus stops), multiple statues, a fountain (which is only sometimes operational), a varying number of food stalls, and a playground. Given that the area functions as a travel interchange, that many restaurants and other shops are located in the buildings adjacent to the gardens,...

Dostoevsky's Desk in Semey, Kazakhstan

November 6, 2024

In the final scene of Crime and Punishment, the antihero Raskolnikov and his ostensible redeemer, Sonya, sit pensively reflecting on the vast Eurasian steppe and the freedom it had to offer. The scene was no doubt influenced by the years that Fyodor Dostoevsky spent in Siberian exile (1854-1859), where he once wrote to a Kazakh friend (possibly on the very desk displayed in the Dostoevsky Museum), “Isn’t it a great challenge for you, isn’t it your sacred cause—to be the...

Why Did the Spider Cross the Road?

November 6, 2024

Parched earth crunches under our boots as we walk across the eastern Colorado plains. It’s a late September day, and a vast expanse of cracked dirt—dappled with an occasional green spike of yucca and a scattering of yellow-flowering rabbitbrush—stretches out ahead of us. “Found one!” calls out entomologist Jackie Billotte, eagerly beckoning to her colleagues as she pokes at a quarter-sized hole in the dirt with a twig. She’s hoping to lure out the female Aphonopelma hentzi, commonly known...

Maine Troop Greeters Museum in Bangor, Maine

November 6, 2024

Since 1991, the Maine Troop Greeters at Bangor International Airport has hosted over 7,000 military flights and more than a million United States troops returning home from overseas deployments. In the Troop Room and Greeter Museum, visitors will find more than 6,000 unique challenge coins donated by troops while passing through the airport. Challenge coins are not currency, they are large medallions and customized coins used by the military for special recognition of relationships, extraordinary service, or achievement. Many military...

In Denmark, an Ancient Army Met a...

November 5, 2024

In 1944, at the height of World War II, ditchdiggers working in a field known as Alken Enge, on the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark, made a gruesome discovery: human bones. It was quickly determined that the bones were not evidence of a recent murder—they were actually thousands of years old. Alken Enge itself has long been used as a “water-meadow,” an area that’s regularly flooded for controlled irrigation, and 12 years later, in 1956, another crew of ditchdiggers maintaining...

'Dreams of Hyperion' in New York, New...

November 5, 2024

Like a cataract of sensuous gilded Wallendas, the Dreams of Hyperion figures at 24 Bond Street cascade down the NoHo building. Once owned by Robert DeNiro’s mother and later the home of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, 24 Bond Street now hosts the thriving off-Broadway Gene Frankel Theatre on the ground floor where it sits waiting, perhaps, to catch any wayward golden dancers. The sculpture was created by artist Bruce Williams between 2003 and 2010 for the building where he and his...

The V House in Copenhagen, Denmark

November 5, 2024

The 12-story V House in Ørestad, southern Copenhagen, is an intriguing modernist apartment block made of concrete, glass, and steel. It was completed in 2005, designed by two creative architects, Bjarke Ingels and Julien de Smedt, and shaped into an almost perfect V when viewed from above—an emphatic echo of the playful spirit captured in its name. One of the most salient features is its distinctly jagged balconies along the south side, each measuring 13 feet (4 meters) in length....

November 5, 2024

As the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh has a lot going on. The city is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites (the combined Old and New Towns site in the central city, and the Forth Bridge in the suburb of South Queensferry), and it has been recognized as a City of Literature. It is often ranked as the United Kingdom’s second most-visited city (after London), and is home to the Fringe, by many counts the world’s largest performing arts annual...

7 Candidates for Your Election Day Menu

November 1, 2024

All food is political–but some foods are more political than others. Not only can a dish serve as a symbol of identity or status, it can be tied to politics in a more literal sense. Some foods serve as a uniting factor by helping to raise money for a cause. Others establish a time-honored tradition within the political system. Still others cheekily reference the news of the day. The foods and drinks on this list are all linked to...
