This Is the Best City to Retire With $500K in Savings, According to a New Study
The website looked into 50 places across the nation where people can comfortably live out their golden years with $500,000 in savings and still enjoy an excellent quality of life. The company considered cities with at least 1,000 residents aged 65 and older, and analyzed retirement income data, along with the cost of living. Lastly, it calculated the cost of retirement, assuming a person stops working at age 65 and lives in retirement for an additional 20 years.
After doing all that math, it named Canfield, Ohio, the No. 1 spot.
The community of just 8,000 residents boasts an impressive 87 livability score out of 100, while its cost of living for a single person with Social Security over 20 years is $390,698. According to GOBankingRates, the annual cost of living here is $43,564, while monthly expenses are estimated at $3,630.
Canfield wasn't the only place in the Buckeye State to make an appearance on this list. As GOBankingRates noted, "Ohio swept the rankings with 12 of the top 50 cities among the best places to retire with $500,000 in savings." Canfield was followed by Fairlawn at No. 2, North Canton at No. 3, Middleburg Heights at No. 5, Chesterland at No. 6, Cortland at No. 9, Lyndhurst at No. 12, Seven Hills at No. 17, Vermilion at No. 26, Huron at No. 28, Milford at No. 38, and Port Clinton at No. 42.
Unsurprisingly, Florida also had a strong showing, with 11 destinations making the list, including its top performer, Sebastian, at No. 7.
The report also noted that the Midwest is a true hotspot for those looking to retire on a tight budget, with 26 of the 50 spots situated in the region. Beyond Ohio, GOBankingRates found five communities in Illinois—Princeton, Geneseo, Crestwood, Westchester, and Metropolis—and three in Michigan—Ludington, Grand Haven, and Grand Rapids.

Billy Joel closing Long Island motorcycle shop 20th Century Cycles
Billy Joel will be closing 20th Century Cycles, his popular motorcycle shop on Long Island. For the past 15 years, the Oyster Bay shop has showcased the singer's private collection of expensive and rare motorcycles, which he spent decades gathering. Shortly after its grand opening, Joel shared a video about why he wanted to give the community an inside look. "People don't get to see all these kinds of bikes all together in one place," he said. "I actually grew up not far from here, and I'd like to get a little interest going into the town." The closure comes as Joel, 76, is in the middle of selling his Oyster Bay estate and relocating to Florida after being diagnosed with a brain condition. Locals are disappointed the shop is closing down. "It's always cool to sometimes see him coming in or out," Oyster Bay resident Alice Balducci said. "This is one of the prime things to do in Oyster Bay, is to see the motorcycles," resident Stephen Sprachman said. Maalika Mehta remembers meeting Joel at the shop back in 2018 when she was 8 or 9 years old. "He was such a sweet person to talk to," she said. In 2023, a part of the road the shop sits on was named Billy Joel Way. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino says that won't change even after the shop closes. "While we may be losing this motorcycle museum, we're not losing our love," he said. The shop will remain open on weekends only through the end of August as motorcycle parts are sold off. There's no word yet on when the store will be closing its doors for good, or what will be replacing it.

After Fatal Explosion, Focus Turns to Steel Mill's Future and Past
A day after an explosion killed two workers at a U.S. Steel plant, age-old questions were raised on Tuesday about the safety of the inherently dirty and dangerous business that has defined the Pittsburgh region for more than a century. Officials expressed relief that the air showed no discernible traces of sulfur oxide, which can hamper breathing, and they promised a full accounting of what happened when a routine Monday morning at the Clairton Coke Works was shattered by a gas explosion in two battery ovens. One of the dead is Timothy Quinn, 39, a second-generation steelworker and father of three who was described as a leader with a wry sense of humor. The other worker who was killed has not been publicly identified at the family's request. Ten other people were injured in the explosion. 'We owe them an answer for what happened,' Gov. Josh Shapiro said at a news conference on a scorching Tuesday afternoon after meeting with the loved ones of the steelworkers who died. 'We owe them the answers to their questions, and we owe them to never forget the sacrifices that occurred here yesterday.' The mill is one of three plants that are part of the recent $15 billion merger between U.S. Steel and the Japanese company Nippon Steel. The Biden administration had blocked the deal, but the Trump administration approved it in June. The merger was hailed as a victory for the region as Nippon pledged to pump $2 billion into the mill, which sits along the Monongahela River about 15 miles south of Pittsburgh. But Monday's explosion brought to the fore the troubled safety history at the mill, where coal is converted through heat into coke that later is melted into liquid steel. Want all of The Times?

Kodak warns it might not continue in business. Here's why.
Kodak is warning that its future in business is looking very blurry. The iconic 133-year-old business cautioned Monday that there's "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern because it might not have the financial resources to meet its future debt obligations, according to an Aug. 11 regulatory filing. A so-called going concern warning is an accounting term that signals a risk that a business might cease operations. Shares of Kodak plunged $1.73, or 26%, to $5.05 in Tuesday morning trading. Reached for comment, a Kodak spokesperson pointed to the statement in its regulatory filing. The warning is the latest development in the photography company's storied history, which includes introducing one of the first consumer cameras in the 1880s and mass manufacturing film rolls for hobbyists and professionals alike. But Kodak struggled to adapt when digital cameras overtook film starting in the 1990s, leading to a bankruptcy filing in 2012. Its current financial crunch is tied to almost $500 million in short-term debt obligations, as well as more than $200 million in pension liabilities. Last year, Kodak had said it would end its pension plan in order to reduce debt, according to the Wall Street Journal. Kodak should have "a clear understanding by Aug.15 of how we will satisfy our obligations to all plan participants," Chief Financial Officer David Bullwinkle said in a statement, referring to the pension plan. A Kodak moment Rochester, New York-based Eastman Kodak, founded by inventor George Eastman in 1892, mass produced the famed Brownie and Instamatic cameras, popularizing photography as a pastime for generations of Americans. Its yellow-and-red film boxes were ubiquitous in photo shops and other retailers. Eastman said his goal was "to make the camera as convenient as the pencil," according to the Kodak website. But Kodak faced competition from Japanese companies, including Fujifilm in the 1990s, as well as the shift to digital technology, leading to its filing for bankruptcy protection in 2012. The company wound up selling off many of its businesses and patents, while shutting down the camera manufacturing unit that first made it famous. It received approval for its plan to emerge from court oversight a year later. At the time, Kodak was looking to recreate itself as a new, much smaller company focused on commercial and packaging printing. Kodak is now nearing completion on a manufacturing plant to create regulated pharmaceutical products. The company already makes unregulated key starting materials for pharmaceuticals. Production at the retrofitted facility is expected to start later this year.
