Mondays are Fundays at Riverfront Park this summer. The park has been hosting free family-friendly activities each Monday at different locations throughout the park. It's a way to create more activity on a day of the week that historically hasn't been as busy.

If you are like me, you’ve probably seen people wearing face masks, face shields or even both at the same time. To find out more about your question, I talked to my friend Armine Ghalachyan, a researcher at Washington State University.

"She's Leaving Home" has always been my favorite Beatles song. I was absolutely spellbound 19 years ago in Atlantic City when I witnessed Paul McCartney deliver the sonic tale of a young woman slipping out of her parents' home to meet the love of her life.

When Logan and I were trying to figure out where to build our home seven years ago, we fell in love with a particular plot of land that had a lot of things going for it, along with a few things that were less than desirable.

Nature has always been associated with good health. In today’s lifestyle marketing, “natural” is nearly used as a synonym of “healthy.” Open-air classrooms were popular in the early 1900s as a way to teach ill school children while exposing them to plenty of fresh air and sunshine per the medical advice of the time. Nineteenth-century public asylums began to be designed with acres of surrounding gardens and natural landscapes.
