WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Monday lifted its COVID-19 testing requirement for those who plan to be in close contact with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses, bringing to an end the last coronavirus prevention protocol at the White House. "As the fight for freedom in Ukraine wages on, we look forward to hearing his inspiring message of courage, unity and determination," the speaker said. Blinken used his "drawdown" authority delegated by the president to release $1 billion in funding that Congress has already approved. Ahead of the confirmation vote, Schumer highlighted the Senate's timing for approving Tracey as ambassador before Zelenskyy's speech and said it underscores U.S. support for Ukraine. "Undeserved, but much appreciated," Mr. Biden said of the soldier's award he was being given. "Thanks from ordinary people to your ordinary people, Americans. I really appreciate it," Zelenskyy said.

Mr. Biden echoed that the vision is a "free, independent, prosperous and secure Ukraine," but said Russian President Vladimir Putin could end the war if he "had any dignity at all and did the right thing." "That is our life, we are in war. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," Zelenskyy said in English. In the final question to Mr. Biden and Zelenskyy, a reporter asked whether the U.S. could give Ukraine everything it needs to liberate the Russian-held territories swiftly, prompting a light-hearted back-and-forth between the two leaders. Tonight, Jews around the world will celebrate Passover, a holiday that reminds us that even in the face of persecution, if we hold on to faith, we shall overcome.Let us remember that even in the darkest times, the promise of God’s protection will give us strength to find hope.

"I hope that Donald Trump's friendship with Putin is not motivating House Republicans to turn a blind eye to Ukraine's suffering and desperate need for help," Schumer said. "Because the so-called friendship between Putin and Trump was a sour relationship that was deeply damaging to our country and to the international order." "This will be a day to remember in the history of the United States Congress when we welcome President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine," said Schumer, wearing Ukraine's colors of blue and yellow. The U.S. has provided about $22 billion in military assistance to Ukraine alone since the war began, on top of tens of billions of dollars in financial and humanitarian assistance. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the latest round of military assistance will include the Patriot air defense system, which is effective in bringing down cruise missiles, short range ballistic missiles and aircraft.

National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the US strongly condemned the seizure and urged Iran to release the ship and crew immediately, calling the incursion a violation of international law and an act of piracy. Earlier on Saturday, Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard Corps in the strait of Hormuz, 50 nautical miles off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, seized an Israeli-affiliated container ship. In addition, Biden’s hasty return to the White House on Saturday followed his saying on Friday that he expected an Iranian attack on Israel “sooner rather than later” and issued a last-ditch message to Tehran, saying, “Don’t,” which clearly was not heeded. According to whitehouse.gov, members of the American public can tour the White House by scheduling a visit through their member of Congress. Contrary to a popular myth that the building was painted white to hide scorch marks after the fire in 1814, the residence was first painted white in 1798 to protect the exterior from weather damage. The White House kitchen has the capacity to prepare dinner for 140 guests and hors d’oeuvres for over 1,000.

Trump on Trial

First lady Michelle Obama added a 1,100-square-foot vegetable garden on the south grounds in 2009. Set on 18 acres of land, the White House is made up of the Executive Residence, the East Wing, and the West Wing, with its famous Oval Office. Today, the residence includes six levels with 132 rooms, including 16 family and guest rooms and 35 bathrooms, and is spread over 55,000 square feet. The White House has been home to every president from John Adams to Joe Biden, and it is an enduring symbol of democracy and one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, attracting 500,000 visitors annually. WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House was briefly evacuated Sunday evening while President Joe Biden was at Camp David after the Secret Service discovered suspicious powder in a common area of the West Wing, and a preliminary test showed the substance was cocaine, two law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

What’s in Isfahan? The city home to Iranian nuclear facilities

It was unclear whether Scalise was referring to a standalone bill to aid Israel, or the $95bn supplemental spending bill that includes $14bn for Israel, in addition to $60bn for Ukraine, support for Taiwan and billions of dollars in humanitarian assistance, which has been held back from a vote by House Republicans. From Jan. 20, 2017, until Jan. 20, 2021, Donald Trump was president of the United States. This is a position that includes many perks, offered to the person who was selected by American voters to serve as chief executive. Perhaps the most impressive of those perks is use of the White House, the executive mansion — a residence and office building that serves as a command center for whoever receives a majority of the electoral votes cast in the most recent election. The practice continued until 1885, when newly elected Grover Cleveland arranged for a presidential review of the troops from a grandstand in front of the White House instead of the traditional open house.

The State Department said the new U.S. aid package would total $1.85 billion, comprising $1 billion in new funding approved by the White House and $850 million from the Defense Department. The American people, Democrats and Republicans alike, stand proudly with Ukrainians, Mr. Biden said. "The Ukrainian people continue to inspire the world. I mean that sincerely. Not just inspire us but inspire the world with their courage and how they have [shown] the resilience and resolve for their future," the president said. Mr. Biden said it's hard to believe it's been 300 days since Russia launched its assault on the Ukrainian people.

The president said that he has spent an extensive amount of time speaking with European leaders to urge them to continue their support for Ukraine, but said they do not want to go to war with Russia. The Ukrainian president's speech to Congress comes as U.S. lawmakers work to pass a sweeping $1.7 trillion government spending package that includes nearly $45 billion in military, humanitarian and economic assistance for Ukraine. If approved by Congress, it would be the latest tranche of emergency assistance provided to Ukraine.

The East Wing was built during World War II in order to hide the construction of an underground bunker to be used in emergencies. Nine proposals were submitted for the new presidential residence with the award going to Irish-American architect James Hoban. Capitol and the White House.[17] Hoban was born in Ireland and trained at the Dublin Society of Arts. He emigrated to the U.S. after the American Revolution, first seeking work in Philadelphia and later finding success in South Carolina, where he designed the state capitol in Columbia. The officials rejected the notion that Iran intentionally gave Israel and the U.S. time to prepare for an attack, but said they took advantage of the time Iran needed before it was ready to launch the assault to prepare their response.

Mr. Biden called Zelenskyy the man of the year in the U.S., referencing the designation bestowed upon Zelenskyy by Time magazine. Mr. Biden told the Ukrainian people they have stood strong in the face of autocrats, adding that Americans from "every walk of life" have provided "unequivocal" and "unbending" support for the people of Ukraine. "I'm not at all worried about holding the alliance," Mr. Biden said, adding that he sees "no sign" the United Nations or NATO weakening in their support for Ukraine.

That is a question of scholarship.” Kennedy showed off the restoration during a televised tour that aired on CBS in 1962. The building was constructed between 1792 and 1800 using Aquia sandstone from the Government Island quarry (also a supplier of stone for the exterior of the US Capitol), bricks made in kilns near the site, and lumber from forests in Maryland and Virginia. Jefferson announced the competition—which offered a prize of $500 (or a medal of equal value)—and even reportedly submitted a design himself under the initials “A.Z”.

“If you’re being celebrated by Russian propagandists, it might be time to rethink what you're doing,” Biden said. The White House testing protocol was instituted shortly after the pandemic began in 2020 when former President Donald Trump was in the White House. It was further strengthened by Biden’s administration when he took office amid the pandemic in January 2021.

U.S. officials said Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an effort to contain tensions, that Washington would not participate in any offensive action against Iran, and the president made “very clear” to Netanyahu “that we do have to think carefully and strategically” about risks of escalation. Administration officials also have advised the Israeli government to avoid a large military operation in Rafah, and instead launch smaller, targeted counterterrorism missions, according to an administration official. "The president has repeatedly made the point that continuing military operations need to be connected to a clear strategic end game," Sullivan said.

By 1948, the residence's load-bearing walls and wood beams were found to be close to failure. Under Harry S. Truman, the interior rooms were completely dismantled and a new internal load-bearing steel frame was constructed inside the walls. The residence was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban in the Neoclassical style.[4] Hoban modeled the building on Leinster House in Dublin, a building which today houses the Oireachtas, the Irish legislature. Construction took place between 1792 and 1800, with an exterior of Aquia Creek sandstone painted white.

The West Wing also houses the Situation Room, the Cabinet Room, the Press Room, and offices for advisors and the chief of staff. Additional offices for the president’s staff are located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The vice president has an office in the West Wing, as well as the ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Today’s structure was built in 1942 and sits atop the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. When President Harry S. Truman moved into the White House in 1945, he became concerned about the state of the building. In 1947, a chandelier in the Blue Room almost fell on Bess Truman and her guests from the Daughters of the American Revolution, and in 1948, the leg of Margaret Truman’s piano pierced through the floor of what is now the private dining room.

The State Floor features some of the White House’s most treasured spaces, including the East Room, the Blue, Red, and Green Rooms, the State Dining Room, and the Family Dining Room. At one point, at least 100 ballistic missiles from Iran were in the air simultaneously with just minutes of flight time to Israel, the officials said. Biden and senior officials monitored the firings and interception attempts in real time in the White House Situation Room. The officials said there was “relief” in the room once they saw that the missile defense efforts had succeeded.

In brief opening remarks through a translator, Zelenskyy reiterated the purpose of his visit to Washington — to thank Mr. Biden and Congress for providing bicameral and bipartisan support for continued assistance to Ukraine. "For me as a president, just peace is no compromise as to the sovereignty, freedom and territorial integrity of my country," Zelenskyy said. Asked whether there is a fair way to end the war brought by Russia and about a "just peace," Zelenskyy reiterated that U.S. leadership is "strong," but that the Ukrainian people have also been protected by Ukraine's armed forces. Additionally, Mr. Biden said they would "love" for Ukraine not to have to use the Patriot missile defense system the U.S. is giving the country. Mr. Biden then stressed that the U.S. has provided more than $20 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in late February, but that its success in forcing Russia to retreat hinged on the broader support from NATO and European Union allies.

Zelensky: Biden and I discussed how to increase Ukraine's strength going into 2024

President George Washington, who lived in presidential residences in New York and Philadelphia, selected the site of the nation’s capital on the Potomac River for an executive mansion with the help of French architect Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who designed the plan of the city. L’Enfant initially proposed an opulent design for the residence, which would have resulted in a building four times the size of what stands today. He was ultimately dismissed by the three-person committee overseeing the development of the District of Columbia, and his palatial design was abandoned. Instead, Washington and his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, decided that the design would be chosen through a national competition. The Neoclassical design of the White House is based primarily on architectural concepts inherited from the Roman architect Vitruvius and the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. Following his April 1789 inauguration, President George Washington occupied two private houses in New York City, which served as the executive mansion.

John Adams was the first president to live in the White House, moving in on November 1st, 1800. The executive mansion has been the official residence of every subsequent president. Beautiful landscaping has graced the White House grounds since the administration of Thomas Jefferson. The South Lawn features over three dozen commemorative trees that date back to the 1870s. During the Kennedy administration, Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon redesigned the White House gardens, including the famed Rose Garden outside the West Wing. The East Garden, also redesigned by Mellon, was later named in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy.

Here are key takeaways from Zelensky’s critical trip to Washington

The hotel was the site of the assassination attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981, an event that led to many changes in presidential security protocols. “This culture of being invited to rub shoulders with the administration is problematic as is, but only more so now,” said Eman Mohammed, a freelance photojournalist from Gaza who is now based in the U.S. and plans to attend the rally Saturday. The New York City-based Committee to Protect Journalists says at least 97 journalists and media workers have been killed in Israel and the Palestinian territories since the war began after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, while the Palestinian Journalist Syndicate places the number higher, at 125.

The dynamic could further complicate the path to passing a package combining aid for Ukraine and Israel, with progressives like Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., opposed to an effort to provide funding for the two U.S. allies unless there are conditions for Israel. The level of distrust and tension between the U.S. and Israeli governments marks an extraordinary shift from the bear hug Biden and Netanyahu shared five months ago shortly after the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel. “There’s no red line where I would cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them. Sullivan said that while Israel has made "significant progress" battling Hamas in its military operations in Gaza, the effect on innocent Palestinians has been devastating.

The bow is flanked by five bays, the windows of which, as on the north façade, have alternating segmented and pointed pediments at first-floor level. The bow has a ground-floor double staircase leading to an Ionic colonnaded loggia and the Truman Balcony, built in 1946.[33] The more modern third floor is hidden by a balustraded parapet and plays no part in the composition of the façade. Biden, in a Saturday evening call with Netanyahu, urged that Israel claim victory for its defense prowess as the president aimed to persuade America’s closest Middle East ally not to undertake a larger retaliatory strike against Iran, the officials said. While the U.S. and its allies were preparing for days for such an attack, the launches were at the “high end” of what was anticipated, according to the officials, who were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. The U.S. assisted Israel in shooting down dozens of drones and missiles fired by Iran on Saturday in what was the first time it had launched a direct military assault on Israel.

“The Truman renovation is the largest reconstruction at the White House because of the sheer amount of demolition and reconstruction that you see inside,” says Fling. “The item was sent for further evaluation and an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the White House is pending,” the Secret Service said. The Secret Service said in a statement the White House was closed as a precaution as emergency crews investigated, and that the District of Columbia fire department was called in to evaluate and determine that the substance was not hazardous. Biden and his family left for Camp David on Friday and returned to the White House on Tuesday. Secondary testing of powder found in the West Wing lobby of the White House was confirmed to be cocaine.

Why isn’t Trump charged in the new Arizona indictment?

The White House said the change aligns its policies with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. The agency last week relaxed its recommendation that those who test positive for COVID-19 isolate for five days. Now, the agency says people can return to work or regular activities if their symptoms are mild and improving and it’s been a day since they’ve had a fever.

Mr. Biden rolled out the red carpet for his Ukrainian counterpart, who wore a now-familiar uniform consisting of an olive-green sweatshirt, cargo pants and boots. The two first held a meeting in the Oval Office, where Mr. Biden said the U.S. "stands with the great people of Ukraine" and called Zelenskyy a "great leader." The Iranian weapons were launched just a few hours after the White House had first announced the US president was returning to Washington from a planned weekend at the beach in Delaware, “to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East”. The central Executive Residence is home to the president’s living spaces and the State Rooms. The ground floor originally housed service areas, but now includes the Diplomatic Reception Room, the White House Library, the Map Room, the Vermeil Room, and the China Room.

The Ukrainian president said he was glad to have the invitation to come to Washington, DC, to convey to Biden what his country has achieved in its fight against Russia. He noted the host of a Russian state television program had praised Republicans for blocking the passage of new Ukraine aid last week. Opening his news conference, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “banking on the United States failing to deliver” new aid, and said American divisions on providing new aid was playing into Russia’s hands.

It was a shift that reflected the major headwinds in approving new American assistance to Ukraine. After Zelensky’s meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, it appeared no clearer that new aid would be forthcoming before the end of the year. He clarified that this doesn’t necessarily apply to big cities, but assured that they had a clear plan to move forward. They also talked about the importance of “continued international support” of Ukraine and how to sustain the “morale of the Ukrainian people," the readout said. Vice President Kamala Harris met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday to discuss the White House’s support of “Ukraine’s security and people,” according to a White House readout.

In 1824, he added the South Portico for James Monroe, and he constructed the North Portico for Andrew Jackson from 1829 to 1830. In 1800, President John Adams and first lady Abigail Adams moved into the still unfinished building on November 1. While it was much smaller than L’Enfant’s proposal, the completed building was still the largest home in the country and would retain that title until after the Civil War. According to the White House Historical Association, the cost of construction was $232,372. The president visits the Washington Hilton frequently, and the Secret Service has the security operation there down to a “science,” according to the official.

However, the somewhat less contentious law and financial sectors are filled with companies identified by stuffy and sterile branding. Adding a little humour into such clients' identities can help set them apart. Colour is an important part of branding, but it can sometimes be a distraction, and one that can make it difficult for a client to consider the basic concept of the logo.

Create visual salience with a pop of color

Let's first recall just why logo design is so important. A logo is usually the first piece of branding that a potential customer sees and the piece that makes the biggest impression on us and stays with us the longest (if it's successful). A logo can tell us a lot about a brand, including (sometimes) what a brand does and what it stands for.

Learning how to design a logo isn't something that can be mastered overnight. It requires theoretical knowledge, design skills, patience and a trained eye that comes from a lot of practice. The right logo is recognisable and memorable, and, combined with the right product, it can become a priceless asset (think of the Nike Swoosh or  McDonald's iconic golden arches).

Develop the rest of the brand scheme

With no digital interface in the way, you have complete freedom to explore, and if you wake up in the night with an idea you don’t want to lose, a pen and paper by your bedside is still the best way to get it down. When you think about a person who’s made some kind of impact on your life, you can probably picture what they look like. And a logo acts as a brand's face, allowing people to connect with it and remember it.

Then you add your business name and slogan (both are optional). Even as a free tool, Canva offers one of the best logo generators for users at all skill levels. Their logo maker tool features multiple pre-made logo templates that you can modify. However, if you’re starting a business on a shoestring budget, an online logo maker can be the best option. Your clients rely on you to help them change their futures. You rely on your logo to connect with the clients who need you.

The drafting phase involves a lot of trial and error, so don’t get discouraged if things aren’t working. It stands out, which is why it’s become such a dependable color in branding. But whereas pink’s romance is tender and gracious, red’s romance is passionate, loud, and carnal.

And once a logo is created, it can in turn inspire a brand’s customers, sometimes without their even realizing it. In short, the best logos are more than pictures or pretty symbols that you stamp on a to-go bag. But done well, they are nuanced and sleek, and create meaning through typography. These types of logos have a reputation for being more traditional, but they can be creative and quirky. Lettering, after all, is its own design discipline, and these examples show that a letter-based logo can be just as emotive as a picture.

How to design a logo: the ultimate guide

If you already have a pretty good idea of what you want your logo to look like and now you just need a designer to make it a reality, you can save a ton of time by working directly with a freelance logo designer. Browse designer portfolios to find the one whose work matches your brand best, then get to work together on your perfect logo. The only time it’s a good idea to design your own logo is when you literally have no other options, like when you’ve got nothing in your budget or you’re up against the clock.

The best logos are beautiful, versatile and most importantly, memorable. Getting a logo designed involves a deep understanding of your brand and audience and the ability to communicate all of that to a talented designer through a brief. For this last part, it helps to have some creative logo inspiration to reference when deciding what shape your own logo should take. Another example of how to handle, and even harness, the increased public interest in logo design is the case of Mozilla.

Sometimes the best color for your brand is no color at all. Shades of black, white, and gray tend to invoke a sense of calmness, balance, or clarity. Blue tends to invoke feelings of trust, ease, and peace. That said, blue has also been shown to be the least appetizing color. Start your free trial with Shopify today—then use these resources to guide you through every step of the process.

Leaving colour until later on in the process can allow you to focus on the idea of your logo design itself rather than on an element that’s usually much easier to change. Sketching makes it easier to put shapes exactly where you want them – there will always be time to digitise your marks later (see our sketching tips for more advice). It can also be useful to share some sketches when you’re describing design ideas to clients prior to digitising a mark. This can make it easier for them to visualise the result without the distraction of typefaces and colours, which can sometimes cause clients to dismiss a whole idea. Make sure you ask your client why they exist, what they do and how they do it. Some of these questions might seem so straightforward as to be unnecessary, but they can be challenging to answer and will lead to more questions about the business.

Whatever your approach, it is important to familiarize yourself with the underlying symbolism to make sure the logo is communicating the traits that you intend. Handing off your finished logo design and leaving the brand to use it as it sees fit can be a recipe for disaster. You should aim to provide the client with a style guide offering clear, thorough guidelines of how they should (and shouldn't) use your logo design. Finally, injecting a little wit into your logo design not only makes your job more fun; it can also help your client to become more successful. It's not appropriate for every brand or every industry (it certainly doesn't make sense for weapons manufacturers and tobacco firms, but whether you choose to work with such companies is another thing).

Many design studios advocate pinning work-in-progress up on the walls to enable constant peer review. It's often easier to notice something pinner up on a wall on paper than on a screen. If you’re a lone freelancer, try to find some trusted peers to cast an eye over your work – and return the favour, of course. And remember to check how it looks from every angle and on different shaped supports. A logo doesn’t have to show what a company does; in fact, it’s often better if it doesn’t. Historically you’d show your factory, or maybe a heraldic crest if it was a family-run business, but symbols don’t show what you do.

A client presentation should include relevant touchpoints to show how the logo appears when seen by potential customers. It’s a little like when you’re stuck in a rut – it can help to step back, to look at the bigger picture, to see where you are and what you’re surrounded by. A good logo design is memorable, allowing a brand to stay in a potential customer's mind despite other brands competition for their attention. A really simple logo can often be recalled after as little as brief glance, something that’s not possible with an overly detailed design.

Why choose Designhill’s logo design contest

Being told your logo is “good” or “bad” won’t be helpful, but knowing how your brand comes across will be. The FedEx logo is typically displayed in blue and orange. However, the company has created alternative color logos for specific departments. Wordmark logos work best for companies with catchy names.

This is because all our logo templates are crafted by professional logo designers and designed for businesses like yours. Every logo color, logo shape and logo font you choose colors viewers’ perception of your brand. A logo that’s primarily orange and yellow feels fun, upbeat and youthful while a navy or gray logo feels more mature and subdued. Similarly, a square logo feels like it’s solidly rooted and abides by strict boundaries, while a logo that’s an undefined shape feels more open, free and spontaneous.

Serifs are the little “feet” at the end of the letter, which makes them look a little more old-fashioned. They are very versatile and look great with any kind of design, but work especially well with vintage, elegant or classic designs. The psychology behind color is complex, but to keep it short, colors have certain emotions and ideas attached to them.

What constitutes the best logos of all time is a contentious topic. After all, there are so many businesses around the world and so many logos being designed every day to represent them. And yet, there are some logos that always come up time and time again in these best-of conversations. What the following logos have in common is the way they have stood the test of time, either by the iconic designers who created them or through an effective rebranding campaign. With all that said, here are some of the best of each type of logo.

The decisions left unmade, and a brand left untended may hurt your business. Good logos are not just about creative illustrations and drawings! Many companies use typography in their logos either instead of or in addition to images and symbols. The distinction between an overly simplistic design and a minimalist design is an important one. Simple designs should be avoided, as they tend toward being overused, overdone, and not at all memorable.

Carly Miller is a freelance content writer specializing in all things branding related. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her traveling, playing with her dog, or reading a good book. You can also preview what your logo would look like on different mediums like a business card, t-shirt, and signage. Once you answer some questions about what kind of logo you want, the generator will produce a design that you can save, purchase, and edit. And, if you aren’t happy with the design, you can keep clicking “Generate” until you find one you love. Design Hill presents a basic package for $20.00, which includes a standard resolution logo.

LACMA might be a de facto museum of contemporary art, but frankly it’s not a very good one. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is at a critical juncture in its efforts to push its Peter Zumthor-designed building project closer to the finish line. Govan and Wynn Resorts co-founder Elaine Wynn sit on both the Vegas museum and LACMA boards.

You can choose something simplistic or more complex, but make sure to pick a symbol that creates a unique connection to your brand. Oftentimes these are paired with a wordmark (ya know, so customers know your name… at least until you’re on par with Apple and Target in terms of brand recognition). Because your logo is such an essential part of your brand, you want to make sure it’s done well.

While you are here, don’t forget to check our guide on Jungle House Minecraft. However, you can make it a complex project by adding more details. The main highlight of this mansion is a beautiful pond in front of the structure. The key centerpiece of this cabin is its four-campfire bonfire at the center of the room. Each of these four campfires can cook up to four fish at one time, meaning that productive fishermen can cook over 30 fish per minute in bulk. Reece says even simple questions, like someone asking her how she slept, gives her an opportunity to connect about mental health.

Beach House Blueprint #3: The Luxury Beach House

Full disclosure, we got a bit carried away when building this design, so that’s why it’s more of a small village than just a single house. By building right up to the shore, and using the Sand and Sandstone combined with wood you can create a really striking location that looks like it was plucked straight out of the Mediterranean. When you imagine driving along the PCH and the dream homes you see along the way, you probably picture a place like Corral Canyon Beach.

The large, glass pane bay windows at the front of the house provide great views of the waterfront from within its lofted two-story interior. This design adheres to practicality, acting mostly as a place to prepare caught fish during the daytime and rest one’s head at night. Structurally speaking, the cabin is very modest, with simple oak plank walls and glass panes supporting a spacious square roof of ascending cobblestone stairs. Yet another one of the nature-based Beach House Ideas players can try out is the perfect mix between cottage-core and nature. Similar to the last house I saw, this one also has two stories, wooden rooftops, loads of plants, a balcony that overlooks the ocean, and a checkerboard-patterned floor.

Fishing Hut

Use sandstone or white concrete blocks to make the walls, creating the stucco effect. The roof of the villa can be made using clay or terracotta blocks. Finally, add some spruce wood to the structure bringing the much-needed contrast to the overall design. This layout offers a bright and cheerful main level living area with ample natural light flowing through all of its windows, created using blocks such as stone brick and birch wood planks. A second-story loft bedroom with a spiral staircase going up to it is located above, providing some extra style points to this sun-kissed refuge. Finally, there is enough of outside space surrounding the home for players to rest in the sun or take in the scenery from any point in the yard.

Despite California’s reputation as an environmentally friendly state, neighborhood drilling is a distinctly Californian phenomenon. Most oil-producing states — including Colorado, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, and even Texas — have regulations dictating how close to homes, schools, and sometimes hospitals that oil wells are allowed to operate. This buffer zone between oil wells and the areas where people live is known as a setback.

City documents from that era showcase citizen concerns that Santa Ana’s eastside residential neighborhoods were bearing the brunt of the city’s industrialization, describing these areas as having the “highest degree of inter-mixing” of single-family homes with commercial and industrial uses. In 1972, the Santa Ana Human Relations Commission submitted a resolution noting how grievously the Logan community had suffered at the hands of past planning commissioners due to zoning decisions and the introduction of industry to the barrio. Further, racial and class disparities among children with elevated blood levels have persisted since the height of leaded gasoline use in the mid-20th century, with higher numbers of Black, Latino, and low-income children suffering from elevated levels. Harvard University sociologist Robert Sampson has shown that, while the risk of lead exposure is higher in poor neighborhoods, it’s even higher in racially and ethnically segregated neighborhoods. In a 2018 article in the Annual Review of Sociology, Sampson and his colleagues examined blood lead level differences across small neighborhoods in Chicago. Even when controlling for factors such as poverty, housing, and population density, they found that Black neighborhoods still had higher levels of lead exposure.

Toxic Churn

Using data from CalGEM, the California Department of Education, and the California Health and Human Services department, Grist analyzed the number of oil wells near schools to help understand the impact that setbacks for oil and gas wells might have on frontline communities. The 601 soil samples tested with the XRF analyzer in the field had an average margin of error of 18 parts per million. Grist discarded any soil tests with incomplete scans, which could be caused by any disruptions that produced a movement of the XRF analyzer during analysis. In 1994, residents rose up to oppose a car salvage yard that had proposed opening near the Interstate 5 freeway. The last thing residents wanted was more noise and more traffic, they argued at the time. “The important thing about the barrios is they became very specific sites of commerce and culture and family life, and are really thought of as a really positive space in those days,” said Haas, a history professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

They’ve given six-figure sums to every California governor since Republican Pete Wilson. Then they gave $221,000 to his replacement, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has called them “some of my dearest, dearest friends.” The $150,000 they’ve sprinkled on Jerry Brown since 2010 might not seem like a lot by comparison, but no other individual donor has given more. The Resnicks also have chipped in another $250,000 to support Brown’s pet ballot measure to fund education. Two years later, with a federal judge now restricting Delta pumping for the sake of the smelt, the Resnicks began raising their concerns with friends in Washington. Their first big purchase as a couple, in 1979, was Teleflora, a flower delivery company that Lynda revitalized by pioneering the “flowers in a gift” concept — blooms wilt, but the cut-glass vase and teddy bear live on. In 1985, they acquired the Franklin Mint, which at the time mainly sold commemorative coins and medallions.

People were so invested in the war effort, Elkin said, the oil companies got what they wanted. Hernandez is one of millions of Californians affected by neighborhood drilling — the practice of exploring for oil right in the middle of communities, next to the places where people live, study, and seek medical care. The phenomenon disproportionately impacts low-income communities and communities of color, and creates an environmental health nightmare for those living in its shadow. “A lot of the folks around there, once their houses were condemned, they had no alternative — so they had to move,” said Romero. His father was one of the few residents fortunate enough to be able to renovate his home without a loan after he became the first Latino to get a job paving roads with the city’s public works department, a job that paid him a higher wage than most of his neighbors.

In response to a request for comment from Grist, CalGEM head Uduak-Joe Ntuk pointed to the agency’s new public health mandate and to several actions to bring its policies in line with California’s climate change goals. “CalGEM has instituted a new rigorous conflict of interest policy for all staff, embarked on racial justice training, increased transparency with new online data portals, and instituted the most rigorous review and approval of permits in the nation,” he said. Yet oil played a major role in the state’s development, and oil money is entangled in California’s political system. That’s particularly true in Los Angeles, the city where the state’s oil boom first took off.

This story is part of the Grist arts and culture series Remember When, a weeklong exploration of what happened to the climate solutions that once clogged our social feeds. Family owned and operated since 2014, Grist House Craft Brewery has become a Pittsburgh craft beer staple. Born and raised in Western Pennsylvania, co-owners and brother-in-laws, Brian Eaton and Kyle Mientkiewicz, moved to Pittsburgh in 2010 and began homebrewing on weekends together. After many experiments, tweaking, taste testing and with the support of friends and family they decided to leave their day jobs to open Grist House. And as with any top oil-producing state, it has an active and powerful oil lobby.

So in addition to working to make Logan more residential, local activists must also battle to ensure that nuisance businesses comply with existing regulations. The city may have heard their calls to change the “business-as-usual” approach in recent decades, but ultimately, those who live there now still pay the price for the decades that it was an industrial hotspot. The cohesiveness of the neighborhood was hard to duplicate, and it’s why children who grew up in Logan, like Joe Andrade, often returned.

Bitcoin mining uses a lot of energy. The US government is about to find out how much.

This is a place where drinking buddies become lifelong friends, and regulars become family. 467 defeated, the most realistic pathway open at the state level to institute setbacks appears to be through CalGEM. The agency was known as the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources, or DOGGR, until 2019. That summer, DOGGR became embroiled in scandal when it came to light that regulators were issuing permits for risky drilling projects without reviewing them first and that they held stock in the very companies they were supposed to be regulating.

While the U.S. has a national Clean Water Act and a Clean Air Act, there’s no federal Clean Soil Act to address soil contamination comprehensively. Further, at the local level, not enough is done by public health care agencies to proactively pinpoint hot spots of soil lead contamination by using existing childhood blood lead level data, Mielke said. Before construction was first supposed to begin on the redevelopment project in 2011, California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control, or DTSC, conducted environmental assessments of the site. Tests showed that lead soil contamination around Jordan Downs was at 22,000 parts per million, or ppm — 275 times higher than state limits. The soil also came back with actionable levels of the cancer-causing toxins arsenic, cadmium, and polychlorinated biphenyls.

At the federal level, existing laws primarily focus on regulating the present and future production, use, and disposal of chemicals, but they don’t offer solutions to intervene in already-contaminated areas unless polluted sites are large-scale. In response to my first investigation, a coalition of residents, advocates, and academic scholars has spent four years raising community awareness about the dangers of lead exposure in the city. In 2020, the coalition released a study that corroborates my findings, highlighting how children in Santa Ana’s poorest areas are at a higher risk of being exposed to lead soil contamination. One of the challenges, according to Mielke, is that while much work has been done to decrease water contamination and reduce air toxics, soil is typically ignored as a potential source of contamination.

The east side of the town became a distribution hub for agricultural goods and a burgeoning manufacturing center, with working-class neighborhoods built along the railroad tracks. Located on the easternmost edge of Santa Ana, Logan was often overlooked when it came to city services. While the city’s strictly residential tract home neighborhoods had ample backyards and wide, paved streets, these were largely absent in Logan and other working-class Latino barrios in the industrial sections of town. Neighborhood residents relied on ingenuity to make neighborhood improvements — for example, covering Logan Street with apricot pits in the early 20th century to tamp the dust and cover holes in the road.

Delta water has transformed the arid Southland into the state’s population center and the nation’s produce aisle. But it has done so at the cost of pushing the West Coast’s largest estuary to the brink of collapse; last year the drought finally prompted regulators to eliminate most Central Valley water deliveries. PM2.5 is far smaller than the width of a human hair and can lead to health problems ranging from cancer, reproductive ailments, and mental health problems to premature death. The report found that gas-powered lawn equipment belched 21,800 tons of PM2.5 in 2020 — an  amount equivalent to the pollution from 234 million typical cars over the course of a year. In the United States, a person’s home is usually their most valuable financial asset.

Then, in the early 1930s, the barrio petitioned the city to pave its two primary thoroughfares, Logan and Stafford streets, but was forced to raise the money to cover the cost. The residents ultimately celebrated the paving of their roads with a street dance. You couldn’t shake a stick at your Facebook feed without hitting a shared photo of some wee storybook cottage tucked away in a forest grove. Mueller categorizes the phenomenon of the tiny-house social media craze under a very “millennial” way of posting — one that leans heavily on perfection and idealization, in contrast with Gen Z’s ostensibly more unfiltered approach. But for all the hubbub, tiny houses never really entered the mainstream realm of homeownership. Instead, they entered the province of tourists seeking a brief decampment to a smaller-scale, climate-friendly lifestyle.

Grist is the only award-winning newsroom focused on exploring equitable solutions to climate change. Instead, we rely on our readers to pitch in what they can so that we can continue bringing you our solution-based climate news. In studies of communities living near urban oil wells in Los Angeles, Johnston found that participants living closer to an oil well had impaired lung function and higher rates of asthma than those living farther away — making it quite literally harder to breathe. Living near oil and gas development, in general, has also been linked to preterm births and other adverse reproductive outcomes, as well as a host of other health problems, including higher rates of cancer and heart disease. In 2015, a report authored by the California Council on Science and Technology, a nonprofit that advises the state’s government, concluded that drilling posed health risks to communities living nearby and recommended the development of “science-based” setbacks.

So in 1995, state officials agreed to a deal or, as it has been suggested, a staggering giveaway. The farmers had to relinquish 14 billion gallons of “paper water” — junior water rights that exist only de jure, since there simply isn’t enough rainfall most years to fulfill them. In exchange, they got ownership of the Kern Water Bank, a naturally occurring underground reservoir that lies beneath 32 square miles of Kern County, which sits toward the southern end of the Central Valley. The bank held up to 488 billion gallons of water, and because it sat beneath a floodplain it could be easily recharged in wet years with rainfall and surplus water piped in from the Delta. The Resnicks, who’d given up the most paper water rights, came to hold a majority vote on the bank’s board and the majority of its water. So like other farmers, the Resnicks have turned to the state’s dwindling reserve of groundwater, sinking wells hundreds of feet deep on their land.

By the time she was 24, she’d launched her own advertising agency, Lynda Limited, given birth to three children, and gotten divorced. California and Florida ranked highest for carbon dioxide emissions from lawn equipment, while Florida and Texas topped the list of PM2.5 pollution. While one might expect the sheer amount of lawn care in California, the most populous U.S. state, to rank it higher on PM2.5 pollution, it only comes in 29th. Lower two-stroke engine use accounts for the gap between the state’s carbon and particulate emissions, according to Tony Dutzik, a senior policy analyst at Frontier Group and contributor to the report.

Grist House Review – A Wide Array of Beer Styles in Millvale

It was determined by city leaders who made zoning and land use decisions throughout the last century that purposefully changed the very nature of Logan and its surroundings. For years, however, the ramifications of those decisions were buried in the dust, leaving residents exposed to soil lead particles that are perpetually resuspended in the air the residents breathe. For years, Logan’s residents have celebrated their history as a barrio, but many never imagined that their past could also come back to haunt them.

This California couple uses more water than all of the homes in Los Angeles

The Western States Petroleum Association, or WSPA, an oil industry group, is one of the largest lobbying forces in California by expenditure. 467, and Democratic senators who voted against both bills received thousands of dollars in contributions from the industry. But some Los Angeles County residents tend to live closer to wells than others. This story was produced in collaboration with Capital & Main, a nonprofit media publication focused on inequality, and was made possible with funding from the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.

But as long as the toxic dust remains in the earth, and as long as the Santa Ana winds whip through the streets of Logan, Andrade Rodriguez realizes that the only way to return to the cherished barrio of her youth is by letting her imagination carry her to a place that once was. Ultimately, if the transformation of Logan can improve the health of residents, Logan will have won, said Andrade, who has watched generations of Logan residents get cancers and battle heart disease and other health issues. His mother Chepa, who died of a heart attack while undergoing dialysis, was one of them. Romero, who is struggling with health issues, realizes his activist days are nearing their end.

The testing was conducted on bare soil throughout residential yards with a focus on areas where children would be likely to play. Grist also tested soil along the perimeter of yards near fences, as well as the areas near the outer walls of a housing structure. The mixed-use nature of the Logan neighborhood has burdened residents with exposure to pollution, health problems, and a bevy of annoyances.

The stark contrast in exposure to wells between majority white enclaves and those where people of color live is replicated across the state. She remembers being scared of the noise that was made by the strange device that her mom would use at night — a nebulizer, to treat her asthma. And there were periodic warnings to stay inside because of explosions at nearby refineries. The Josephine Andrade oral history interview is provided courtesy of the Lawrence De Graaf Center for Oral and Public History at California State University, Fullerton. The soil testing was made possible thanks to the generosity of Thermo Fisher Scientific, which provided an XRF analyzer on loan to conduct soil testing for this investigation. Tijerina, who has short gray hair and a cautious smile, grew up in a village near Monterrey, Mexico, before her family moved to South Texas in 1954.

They are smaller — coming in two- and four-stroke versions, which reference the differences in the engines’ combustion cycles — and are generally less efficient, with two-stroke engines being particularly problematic because they run a mix of lubricating oil and gasoline. Lawn-care equipment — leaf-blowers, lawnmowers, and the like — doesn’t top most people’s lists of climate priorities. But a new report documents how, in aggregate, lawn care is a major source of U.S. air pollution. HACLA insists that it has ensured a thorough cleanup by constantly testing the soil during construction, though it declined to share test results with Grist.

But it’s also an apt analogy for a barrio that has weathered many storms — political battles that the Andrade family and generations of Logan residents have fought in order to defend their homes against the industrialization that surrounded and eventually infiltrated their neighborhood. Despite those efforts, the development of the barrio would leave a toxic legacy that still plagues them to this day. According to CalGEM data, of the 240,000 oil and gas wells in California, 98,737 are active or idle but not cleaned up, meaning that they can still emit toxic chemicals. Across the state, about 392 public schools — 4 percent of all public schools in the state — are located within 2,500 feet of a well.

In response to the scandal, the California legislature passed a law changing the agency’s name to CalGEM and updated its mandate to more explicitly include the protection of public health. In November 2019, Newsom initiated the start of updated public health and safety rules for the agency, a draft of which was promised by December 31, 2020. The rulemaking, which many hope will include oil and gas setbacks, has still not been released. Oil shaped Los Angeles — and millions there still live with the continuing legacy of that oil boom. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in September to phase out the 1,600 oil and gas wells and ban the drilling of new wells in unincorporated parts of the county.

In the meantime, Hernandez and the other activists at Communities for a Better Environment are continuing to organize and demand that California residents be spared the health effects of living alongside oil operations. They’ve taken every opportunity to push CalGEM for 2,500-foot setbacks at the agency’s community meetings. As such, “the exploration for oil and extraction of oil got baked into the fabric of Los Angeles,” Sarah Elkind, professor of history at San Diego State University, told Grist. A century ago, Los Angeles was “small, industrial, and isolated,” but oil development soon became the backbone of its economy. By the 1930s, Los Angeles had grown from a small city of 50,000 to a metropolis of 1.2 million that produced a quarter of the world’s oil.

The staff make use of the enormous industrial warehouse space by hosting boisterous nightly events, including open mic, vegan food pop-and karaoke. The company also supports local artists by commissioning their art on packaging and staging exhibitions in the taproom, and Boomtown's Amber Sawicki has recently stepped up to become one of the few female head brewers in the city. Housed in an expansive, century-old building in the Arts District, this longtime craft brewery is one of the neighborhood's rock-solid day drinking spots—with the weekend crowds to match. The warehouse space keeps that industrial feel with a bare-bones vibe and plenty of room to spread out among picnic tables while you sip on IPAs, pilsners, lagers and limited releases. Tacos & Trivia Tuesdays bring beer nerds together each week, while karaoke, art shows, yoga, food pop-ups and one-off events make this communal gathering space a place for more than just beer. If you’re a first-timer, the the classic Angeleno IPA is a solid choice with a bold, grapefruit-infused flavor.

Our weekly DineDrink C-L-E podcast covers North Ohio’s food and drink scene. The deal also allows Corso to focus on restaurants he owns in Columbus’ Short North district, Zimmerman said. The name eventually will become Urban Meyer’s Pint House by Saucy Brew Works. CLEVELAND, Ohio – Saucy Brew Works is expanding its footprint in the Columbus market with a deal to oversee Urban Meyer’s Pint House in Dublin. President Biden and Donald Trump secured their parties’ nominations for the presidency, formalizing a general-election rematch.

Benny Boy Brewing

Little Spree, a Yorkshire-style pale ale, is a good place to start your re-education. Skee-ball, darts, ping pong, great bar food—Arts District Brewing is more than just a brewery, it's a bona fide party spot. Prime-rib Sloppy Joes, mango habanero wings, chorizo burgers, salads and nachos are all on offer and, let's be real, pair with just about everything.

COLD BEER IS HERE

There’s a full cocktail bar if you want to amp things up a bit, but first-timers should opt for a beer flight to sample what Arts District Brewing does best. Common Space craft beer is a Hawthorne staple (one of several actually), turning out straightforward, delicious brews for consumption at bars and restaurants all over town, and on the company’s ample warehouse patio space. Kicking off the list is the exceptional Three Weavers Brewing Company, a woman-owned operation and the very first craft brewery in Inglewood.

All Season Brewing Company

The broad offerings include Tiki on the Beach, a tropical blonde ale infused with hibiscus cranberry; No Sleepy Time, a coffee stout; and a Spa Water Saison with cucumber and lemongrass. The only place to buy Monkish is from the taproom, so to Torrance (and their outpost out in Anaheim) you shall go. You’ll find the family-operated South Bay brewery just around the corner from Smog City, in fact, and when you get to the Belgian beers, you’ll also be greeted by free pretzels.

For those in search of something more unique, the annual kolsh-style avocado ale should do the trick. With tons of indoor and outdoor seating, it’s the ideal place to get together with friends, especially if you’re all coming from different corners of the city. The central location in Mid-Wilshire can’t be debated, and neither can their selection of fantastic beers. We recommend sipping on the Red Line, a nuanced American red ale with layers of toffee, vanilla and candied citrus. After a half decade of researching centuries-old fermentation techniques across Europe, Ben Farber and Chelsey Rosetter launched Benny Boy, the city's first combined brewery and cider house, in April 2022.

Angel City Brewery

Some of the great beer-drinking spots on this list actually make their own beer, while others simply sell it in taprooms — while offering a seat at a popular community hub. Here now are 19 places to enjoy excellent craft beer in Los Angeles right now. The sleek and stylish Benny Boy Brewing in Lincoln Heights combines a love for both cider and beer under one roof. Technically considered the city’s first combined cidery and brewery, Benny Boy opened its doors in April of 2022 under the guidance of husband-wife duo Ben Farber and Chelsey Rosetter. With its gorgeous outdoor beer garden — complete with cozy fire pits — and yummy pop-up food vendors, the vibe at Benny Boy Brewing is the epitome of fun relaxation. North Hollywood’s Hop Merchants is the kind of neighborhood spot where locals meet after work, and the people-watchers will even catch some workday meetings in the large outside area in the back.

LOS ANGELES, CA

This DTLA mainstay is known for their commitment to brewing classic, old-world beers. But don’t confuse classic with commonplace or quotidian — their beers are full of flavor, richness and unfiltered deliciousness. They offer about six beers year-round, but what you’ll really want to get your hands on is one of their limited-edition, seasonal batches. The Barrel Aged Saison is a wildly refreshing imperial saison that’s been aged in Côtes du Rhône red wine barrels.

Beachwood Blendery has been pushing boundaries in Southern California craft beer for years, thanks to its prodigious barrel-aging program and funky, often fruity finished styles. This is the spot to take craft beer nerds after a day at the beach — or, really, anyone who enjoys a little sour, tartness, and funk in their brews. With dozens of taps and a lot of hard-to-source beer, Glendale Tap has emerged as one of the city’s best beer bars over the past decade. The semi-hidden corner location also now welcomes a variety of food pop-ups. Don’t be fooled by the name, this brewery has since expanded from its cute and cozy location inside of Hermosillo bar in Highland Park to an impressive warehouse in Chinatown.

Folks looking to grab a stool inside or a table outside can enjoy some of the 16 rotating beers on draft, and there are bottles and cans for beer fans who prefer their drinks to-go. The Lankershim Boulevard taproom even has rotating food vendors, and patrons are able to bring in outside food on days there are no food trucks or vendors popping up. More than just a brewery, this place is the ultimate hangout and party spot, complete with Skee-Ball, darts, ping pong, a full cocktail bar and fantastic food. If you’re new to their beer menu, you’d be wise to order a flight and get a taste of everything they have to offer. We’re partial to Las Perlas, a German-style Kölsch that’s described as bready, honey-sweet and bright. The flavors fly off the tongue in just the right way while leaving a satisfying finish.

The husband-and-wife duo use whole flower hops instead of the more widely pellet hops, which Farber says provides a smoother, less bitter flavor. Forgoing the IPA-dominant menu of so many rival breweries, Benny Boy offers an eclectic mix of crisp lagers and Belgian strong ales, as well as a Desert Champagne Gose, a tart concoction brewed with fresh prickly pear, sage and desert salt. On the cider side, Benny Boy makes their ciders with in-state apples sourced from Santa Cruz, including the spice-forward Devil's Umbrella, which comes infused with pineapple and habanero. An expansive beer garden connects a 55-foot tank bar to a 1,200-square-foot cider room, providing an urban oasis for outdoor parties with food trucks and DJs. The Los Angeles craft beer scene is an absolute behemoth, supporting dozens of award-winning brewers across different cities and setups. There are English-style brews made in Van Nuys, barreled lambics drawn in Long Beach, and gold metal IPAs and hazies scattered across the county.

From traditional Belgian style ales to experimental IPAs, you’ll find a beer that perfectly suits your tastebuds here. MacLeod Ale owners Alastair and Jennifer Boase know a thing or two about "real" ale. The small-batch beers at this Van Nuys brewery are made with imported English grains, naturally carbonated, cask conditioned and served at cellar temperature straight from the casks they were fermented in. In addition to serving some of the best cask beers in L.A., the brewery also offers a vast selection of draft and nitro beers, as well as some of the Valley's finest pizza (the spinach artichoke is the staff special). For local beer drinkers, MacLeod provides a taste of something different in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere, and for British expats, it's one of the only spots in town to get a proper pint.

As far as brewery-owned gastropubs go, Ballast Point runs some of the best, and their oceanside Long Beach location is no exception. The 30-plus beers on draft should keep you busy, but they never distract from the sweeping views of Alamitos Bay. Throw in the straightforward food menu, and Ballast Point easily wins the title for brewery with the best views in L.A. While not exactly located right along the beach, this Santa Monica staple still feels like a seaside hangout thanks to cool coastal breezes and a bright collection of beers made for easy drinking. Better still, the brewery is also now home to New York City’s Emmy Squared, one of the country’s most well-known craft pizza operations. Barely open a year, Malibu Brewing Company operates as a taproom and restaurant.

The chamber in March passed an earlier version of the bill trying to force a TikTok sale on a shorter timeline, but it has languished in the Senate. The latest proposal’s attachment to the foreign aid package could boost its chances in the upper chamber. Asked for comment on Trump’s post, Biden’s reelection campaign referred to the White House, which denied it was working to shut down TikTok. Blind Rabbit Kitchen, which will specialize in steak and cocktails, is set to open at 1080 E. The restaurant received its full-service liquor license at the Thursday meeting of the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services’ liquor commission.
