No, not a series of galleries and speakeasies but palindromic dates.
Friday sees the first of 11 dates in May that can be written as a palindrome, or dates that read the same forward and backward, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
Palindrome dates are believed to be lucky, as they are rare, the almanac says.

Weather Wednesday: What is in the sky this month?
Whether you are an avid stargazer or just enjoy laying in the grass on a summer night to look at what the night sky, the month of June has a lot to offer you. Everything from the moon, to planets and even a chance to see some shooting stars, lets take a closer look at what the night sky has to offer this month. The Moon New moon: June 25 First quarter: June 3 Full Moon: June 11 Full moon name: Strawberry Moon Last quarter: June 18 Some of the best stargazing opportunities will be when the moon at the new moon phase because the moon is aligned with the sun and isn't visible to us in the Norhtern Hemisphere. This time is considered the best because it offers the darkest sky, free from the bright moonlight. The full moon this month will take place on June 11, however the best time to see it will be on June 10 as the sun goes down. Now the name, Strawberry Moon comes from fruit rather than color. According to the Farmer's Almanac, early farmers and Indigenous people started to notice that the full moon in June often coincided with the start of wild strawberry harvesting season. In Europe, June's full moon has been called the Rose Moon and the Honey Moon linking it with the colors of summer evenings. The neat thing about this month's moon is that it will be one of the lowest hanging moon of the year. Meaning that it will never get too far above the southern horizon. A full moon is opposite the sun, so it mirrors it meaning that as the sun sets the moon often rises! Because the moon is so close to the horizon our brain will play a trick on us making us think it is larger because of the horizon. Meteor Showers: The only good meteor shower in June is the Daytime Arietids, peaking on June 7. If you are up bright and early you could see about 30 or so shooting stars per hour. Yes, there is another meteor shower called the June Bootid meteor shower however this one is unpredictable and doesn't offer as many shooting stars. Planets: Planets that will be visible in the morning hours include Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all mainly in the eastern sky. You may need binoculars or even a telescope to view Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Planets that will be visible in the evening and mainly in the western part of the sky include Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. Unfortunately, the gas giant with the big red spot will be a little harder to see but still visible in the western sky Constellations: Other Events: On June 21st we enter the Summer Solstice or the longest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. On this day, the Earth's Northern Hemisphere will be tilted closest to the sun and will experience the longest day and shortest night. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

These 4 U.S. Regions Are Poised for a 'Scorching Hot' Summer—Is Yours One of Them?
Curious whether your summer vacation is going to be perfectly mild and sunny or if you need to brace yourself for monsoon-level rains and a glued-to-the-TV hurricane season? Unfortunately, most weather apps only prepare you with a 10-day forecast, which doesn't do much good if you're looking for a temperature check on the entire season. Those long-term predictions are when we turn to an old staple: The Old Farmer's Almanac. First published in 1792, this book was the reference for those looking to brush up on trends and news in gardening, sports, and more, but it was also the place to find semi-reliable insights on what the twelve months ahead might look like. At one time, it was the guiding force for farmers to make decisions about their upcoming planting season. And, while the technology for making predictions has changed, the general ethos behind The Almanac remains the same. Weather forecasts are made once a year using historical weather patterns and tidal records, as well as the disciplines of solar science, climatology, and meteorology, to anticipate how the seasons will behave. These predictions are said to be accurate 80% of the time. So what's in store for Summer 2025? Keep reading for overall weather predictions from The Farmer's Almanac, as well a breakdown of summer weather patterns by region. If you love embracing all of summer's sunshine and heat, then get your pool bag ready. This summer is going to be h-o-t, hot. Sky-high temperatures should set in just in time for summer's unofficial peak in July and August, so plan your travels accordingly. The Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting hot and dry conditions across the majority of the country throughout the summer. Only the southernmost tip of Florida, the Pacific Northwest, and the southern half of Alaska will face cooler-than-usual temperatures. Meanwhile, parts of the Midwest and Northeast are looking at hot, rainy conditions — it's not the heat that'll get ya, it's the humidity. Note: Locations not mentioned below are predicted to have a hot and dry summer. Region 1: The Northeast, which includes Maine, western Massachusetts, New Hampshire, eastern New York, and Maine will have a hot, rainy, wet summer with high humidity. Region 5: Most of Florida will have an unsurprisingly hot summer, but southern Florida will face cool, wet conditions and hurricane potential. Region 6: The Lower Lakes, which includes eastern Illinois, northern Indiana, Michigan, and northern Ohio, will have an unusually rainy summer. Region 7: The Ohio Valley, including southern Illinois, southern Indiana, Kentucky, southern Ohio, and western West Virginia, will have a wet summer. Region 8: Of course, it's going to be hot in the Deep South, including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, but this year will be even more of a scorcher than normal. Region 10: The Heartland, otherwise known as eastern Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and eastern Nebraska, will have a hot, dry summer. Temperatures are predicted to be 4°F above normal. Region 11: Texas and Oklahoma are going to be looking for relief this summer, with predictions lined up for these two states to be the hottest in the entire country. Region 13: The Intermountain region, which includes western Colorado, western Montana, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington, will be cooler and rainy this summer. Region 14: If you're in the Desert Southwest, also known as the area from southern California to western Texas, you're going to face more-sweltering-then-normal temperatures. Region 15: The Pacific Northwest, including western Washington and Oregon, is the place to be this summer, with cool, dry temperatures. Region 17: Head to Alaska, and you'll see dry weather in the north, with wet weather in the south. Both areas will be cooler than normal. Region 18: Hawaii is going to be wet this summer but, depending on where you are, it could be cooler or hotter. The Big Island will have a hotter than average summer, and the islands will be cooler.
