Courtesy Dinner Echo There's no shortage of bugs in this city, but New Yorkers often scoff at the thought of eating the creatures that have moved into their kitchens and bathrooms. Still, insects are delicacies in plenty of cultures worldwide, and entomophagy (i.e. consuming bugs ) enthusiasts are hoping negative perceptions about the practice will change next month, when Brooklyn plays host to what is reportedly the city's first festival dedicated to bug-eating. From September 1st to 3rd, three venues in Greenpoint and Williamsburg will transform into Timon & Pumbaa's bug-eating paradise from The Lion King as part of the Brooklyn Bugs Festival , complete with insectivore- friendly vendor markets , a VIP Bug Banquet , cocktail receptions, and speakers and panels discussing the benefits of entomophagy. The festival, which boasts the Museum of Food and Drink as its cultural partner, is the brainchild of Chef Joseph Yoon , who hosted a gourmet edible insect dinner earl...

Name: Terra Zosel Location: Kenwood Neighborhood, Minneapolis, Minnesota Size: 800 square feet Years lived in: Rented 6 months The story of Terra's apartment is multi-fold. Her home occupies the attic of her grandparents' house where she lives as caretaker to her grandmother. Her grandparents purchased the home in the 1960s from a couple who relocated from Minneapolis to the significantly warmer state of Florida. Little information is known about those earlier owners or what the "genie bottle" room was used for, but Terra does know that it remained largely untouched from how the former resident — an artist — left it.

As a child, Terra and her cousins often visited their grandparent's attic — it was the play room, the place for children to escape to, explore and stay out of the way of the adults in the rest of the house. Years later, various grandchildr...

Lack of pet-friendly homes to buy or rent By John McGrath The shift towards apartment living coupled with one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world has created a problem in the Australian property market – a lack of pet-friendly homes to buy or rent.  It is standard practice in most strata schemes for body corporates to disallow pets among owners and tenants. This wasn’t a big problem in the past when affordability was less of a strain and pet owners in major cities could afford to buy or rent a house. But today, with more of us living in apartments due to affordability or circumstance (such as living alone or as couples without kids – both growing trends), apartment living is on the rise and things are getting difficult for pet owners. Last year, industry body released a comprehensive report on pet ownership in Australia. It described the rise of higher-density living in major urban areas as “the biggest current threat to pet ownership in Australia – p...

They wrote about rock music and marijuana, when those were actually daring things to write about. They used profanity sometimes, when even sometimes was rude and shocking. In the back, past the ads for head shops, porn theaters and escort services, there were classified listings that featured a strange code of longing and desire: “ SWM seeks SWF for LT relationship, light S&M.” “Alternative” weeklies flowered in the 1970s in just about every American city, large and small. They were the alternative to the strait- laced establishment press and the successors to the ragtag “underground” papers that had raged against the Vietnam War. Less angry and more professional than their forebears, they still raged against authority when a new edition dropped outside the coffeehouse or club. Free- distribution alt weeklies — all those New Timeses and Real Papers — aren’t quite dead yet, but the fraternity is in some distress. The Boston Phoenix checked out in 2013. The San Francisco Bay Gu...
