This 'Floating Home' Was Supposed To Revolutionize Housing. Some Miamians Hate It.  

When Arkup in 2017 unveiled its idea for a solar-powered, high-tech "livable yacht" — sort of like a houseboat, but luxurious and shaped more like a house than a boat — it was touted as a solution for areas facing climate change.

Chicken Sandwich Beef With Chick-fil-A Fueling Popeyes’ Quest To Join The World’s Fastest-Growing Brands

The chicken sandwich battlefield may be brutal, but it is a boon for retail.

Chick-fil-A’s feathers were ruffled over the summer after Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen introduced a new chicken sandwich, driving massive foot traffic and attention from even highbrow New Yorker and Boston Globe food writers who claimed it was a worthy, less politically active adversary to Chick-fil-A’s own popular brand of fried poultry. 

It also gave a traffic boost to a normally slow month of business for the chain. While August is not usually a strong sales month for fast food, visits to Popeyes during the height of its sandwich popularity rose 68% and 103% on Aug. 20 and 21, respectively.

Popeyes' summer of the sandwich has boosted the chain’s profile to new customers, as well as developers who may not have previously looked to do a deal with the company.

Where Are They Now? The Sites Damaged On 9/11 And What's Been Built Since
 

NEW YORK — This story was originally written in 2018. It has been updated for 2019 to include the latest news from the buildings that now occupy the site of the World Trade Center.

Eighteen years ago, Lower Manhattan was hit with the deadliest attack on U.S. soil in history, one that has left permanent emotional and physical scars on New York City and its inhabitants; one year ago, the subway stop that was destroyed in the attacks finally reopened.

Despite the wreckage of that day, the World Trade Center has been almost entirely rebuilt, and the area has transformed from an office-only mecca to a vibrant neighborhood where New Yorkers work, shop and live.
