Commemorating the Confederacy through streets or community names like \u201cDixie,\u201d \u201cRebel\u201d and \u201cPlantation\u201d carries clear connotations for some. As noted in a social media post<\/a> referenced in a new research study, \u201cThe developer might as well [put] a sign at the entrance saying, \u2018Whites Only.\u2019\u201d Titled Confederates in the Cul de Sac<\/a>, the scholarly paper explores how racial demographics are affected by Confederate tributes or signage in both urban and suburban communities. According to the report\u2019s first-ever inventory of such neighborhoods, Florida has more than any other state. We talk to the study\u2019s authors about their sometimes surprising findings and what it says about what they call \u201cAmerica\u2019s identity crisis over white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bucking the national publishing trend, two local print newspapers are launching at the Beach. The weekly Beach Gazette<\/a> launches online Thursday with plans to begin a print edition within a year and features a lead story focused on the history of local news at the Beaches. The paper\u2019s backers are also launching Beach Buzz, a free monthly arts and culture publication in the model of Folio and Void, targeting visitors and residents alike, but with a specific Beaches focus. We sit down with the founders at a time when the overall newspaper industry is in a period of retraction to ask who, what, when, where and why?<\/p>\n

The U.S. men\u2019s national team takes to the pitch against T\u00fcrkiye on Thursday night as the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues. After a historic performance for the team \u2014 winning consecutive World Cup matches for the first time since 1930 \u2014 the men head to the knockout round of 32 next week. Though T\u00fcrkiye has already been eliminated, the game will be another test of team fitness after solid performances against Paraguay (4-1) and Australia (2-0). The match may also feature some play time by star attacker Christian Pulisic, who has been sidelined with a calf injury. We sit down with longtime sports reporter Will Brown to discuss what the USMNT can expect in the coming round, how the games are going so far and whether record-breaking Lionel Messi could lead Argentina to a second World Cup victory. The game Thursday gets underway at 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
