Thunderbirds to perform special weekend show at Cheyenne Frontier Days
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will perform a special weekend show at this year's Cheyenne Frontier Days. While they've typically performed midweek during Cheyenne Frontier Days, the Thunderbirds' F-16 fighter jet aerial demonstration team will headline the Wings over Warren Airshow during this year's Saturday showcase, from 11 a.m. to noon July 26, according to a Cheyenne Frontier Days news release. By moving the show to Saturday, the Thunderbirds are hoping for a larger crowd and more opportunities for pilots to interact with attendees at other events throughout Cheyenne Frontier Days, according to the news release. The Thunderbirds demonstration will be held at FE Warren Air Force Base, next to Frontier Park, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and is free and open to the public. The airshow will feature a lineup of aircraft and skydivers, and attendees will be able to see a display of Blackhawk and Huey helicopters, according to the news release. The show is drive-in style, with all public access through Roundtop Road. Attendees must have a valid photo ID, and all vehicles are subject to security checks.

Public weighs in on pedestrian bridge over Interstate 25 to Frontier Park
CHEYENNE — Although many details remain unknown at this point, members of the public got their chance this week to weigh in on a proposed pedestrian bridge over Interstate 25 that would connect Frontier Park to a new parking lot on F.E. Warren Air Force Base. A public meeting was held on the project Thursday night, and those who attended learned that details like the cost, funding sources and timeline remain unknown, since the project is still in its early phases. Cheyenne City Engineer Tom Cobb said the reason for the bridge is threefold: to allow Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors to park and walk to Frontier Park, to allow pedestrian access between F.E. Warren Air Force Base and the rest of the city, and to open the potential for further development of the Greater Cheyenne Greenway path in the future. At the meeting, two alternatives for the project were presented. The preferred alternative is the costlier option that would construct a new pedestrian walkway over the interstate directly from the parking lot to the west entrance of Frontier Park. The second option is to retrofit the Stinner Road bridge to allow pedestrian access. The Stinner Road bridge currently runs over I-25, connecting the northwest part of Frontier Park to the Cheyenne Country Club. If the second option is selected, Hynds Road would also be converted to pedestrian-only access from Stinner Road to CFD Gate V12 during CFD shows. I-25 pedestrian bridge rendering alternative 1 The preferred of two alternatives, which would construct a new pedestrian bridge over Interstate 25 to allow pedestrian access and develop a new 2,800-stall parking lot on a 36.5 acres of F.E. Warren Air Force Base. I-25 pedestrian bridge rendering alternative 2 The second of two alternatives which would retrofit the Stinner Road Bridge to allow pedestrian access and develop a new 2,800-stall parking lot on a 36.5 acres of F.E. Warren Air Force Base. Currently, the project is in the environmental assessment phase required by the National Environmental Policy Act, since the development concerns federal land, including the parking lot on the Air Force property and the connection over the interstate. This phase looks at the potential impacts of the project on air, water, noise, traffic, and cultural and biological resources. 'I know some of the folks asked questions that we don't have answers for yet. We need to make sure the project is environmentally sound before exploring the next phases of the development,' Cheyenne Mayor Patrick Collins wrote in his Mayor's Minute column this week. 'We will have additional public meetings for the next steps and answer the questions at each stage.' Once the draft environmental assessment is complete, it will be released for public review and comment. Public comment on the project is currently being taken by the city at When the environmental assessment is finalized, design and permitting for the project will begin. The existing CFD Park-n-Ride lot during the summer event has a capacity of 1,300 parking spaces near the intersection of I-25 and Happy Jack Road, which is also located on Air Force property. If realized, this new development would eliminate the shuttles busing people from the lot to the park and allow people to walk directly from the new 2,800-stall parking lot to the park. CFD CEO Tom Hirsig said CFD would still provide shuttles for some visitors with restricted mobility. He added there will be a fee to park in this lot during CFD, as there is in other CFD parking lots. Around 30 people attended the public meeting to ask questions about the project and express concerns about certain elements of it. A common concern was the use of city funds to support this development, which some see as primarily benefiting CFD, a private entity. Cobb said the development will be an asset to the city because it could be used year-round for pedestrian access and potential for Greenway connection. 'The intent is it's supposed to be open for the community and then have the base connect to the city,' he said. Collins corroborated this sentiment, saying it is worth it to connect the 2,900 people living on base to the Greenway and the rest of the city. 'I think for all the money we spent on the Greenway, the more people we connect to it, the more value we get out of it,' he said. 'So, my hope would be that we can find a way to make that an access for people who live on the base to safely access the city and people who work on the base that live in the city to be able to ride a bike or walk to work.' To access the parking lot, which Cobb said is around 90% through the design phase and has yet to be constructed, F.E. Warren AFB would allow access on Patriot Drive, and the road would be updated and extended to allow bus access. Patriot Drive runs adjacent to the west side of I-25, north of the Randall Avenue exit at the Gate 1 entrance to F.E. Warren AFB. As part of the plan, the existing fence on the east side of Patriot Drive would be moved to the west side to allow public access to the road, but restrict access to the rest of the base. Representatives from F.E. Warren AFB said the new parking lot would also be separated with a new perimeter fence and be licensed out to CFD in the same way the existing Park-n-Ride is. However, any changes would need to be approved by Air Force officials. Some attendees expressed concern that the traffic to the new lot during CFD could back up on Patriot Drive and potentially cause congestion on I-25 or Pershing Boulevard. City staff said they do not expect this to happen, but will keep it in under consideration when the project enters its design phases. Representatives from the Cheyenne Country Club also attended the meeting to express some concerns about the project, particularly the potential impacts the second alternative could have on its property. Some of these concerns included how the Greenway running through the property would impact the area and the potential to bring vandalism to the area, as has happened at Frontier Park in the past year. Another was the plan for dust mitigation during and after the construction of the project. To address the first concern, Cobb said there are no current plans to make Greenway connections through the country club, and it is only something that could be considered in the future. Matt Rhodes, a biologist with Tryhydro Corporation who is helping conduct the environmental assessment, said dust mitigation is being considered in the environmental assessment, and said he does not know what the considerations are post-construction. He said he anticipates the environmental assessment will be approved, though he did not say when, and then the city will be able to move on to the design and permitting processes.

Veteran trader revisits stock price target for retailer TJX amid dueling tariffs
Ernie Hermann is always on the lookout for a bargain. The chief executive of TJX Cos. () explained his position during a February earnings call with analysts, after the parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and HomeGoods beat Wall Street's fiscal-fourth-quarter expectations. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 "We believe that our relentless focus on value every day through a combination of brand, fashion, price and quality will continue to resonate with shoppers," he said. He noted the company's "very wide demographic." "We want to sell everyone and believe our offerings across good, better and best brands appeal to shoppers across most income and age demographics," Hermann approach can do wonders for a retailer, especially as President Donald Trump's tariffmania grips the globe and stocks recently got hammered harder than a rodeo clown at Cheyenne Frontier Days. It's been a tough time for the retail sector. Store closures spiked in 2024, and Coresight Research expects closures to more than double this year, to about 15,000. U.S. store closures totaled 7,325 last year, the firm said, the most since 2020, when Coresight Research tracked almost 10,000 closures. Stocks were surging at last check on news that Trump might be open to trade talks with some countries. More experts: Treasury Secretary has blunt 3-word response to stock market drop Fed chairman has blunt 9-word response to recession talk Billionaire Ray Dalio's blunt message on economy turns heads Marc Zabicki, chief investment officer at LPL Financial, said it had been reported that many countries had come forward, willing to negotiate the tariff terms. 'Countries in the eurozone (in aggregate), Asia-Pacific and South America have been some of the most notable,' he said. 'This is a good sign and, again, likely part of the plan as far as the Trump administration is concerned. The U.S. set its tariff marker and compelled affected countries to come to the table. Call it Negotiation 101.' Zabicki said the outcome was likely to be U.S. tariffs that are far less than those outlined last week and potential concessions from those countries the Donald Trump administration targeted as applying unfair practices. 'The biggest and admittedly significant holdout so far has been China, although that was to be expected,' he added. That's for sure. China's Commerce Ministry said it 'resolutely" opposed Trump's threat of escalating tariffs and vowed "to fight to the end." TJX's Hermann reminded analysts during the earnings call that the "direct imports for China for us are an extremely small percentage of our business." Shares of TJX, which is expected to report earnings next month, are up 27% from a year ago. On April 3, Citi upgraded TJX to buy from neutral and boosted its price target to $140 from $128. Tariffs are likely to create "significant disruption" in the market, greatly increasing the availability of product to the off-price retailers at attractive prices, Citi said, according to The Fly. At the same time, the firm said a potentially weakening consumer environment will mean more consumers are likely to trade down to the off-price channel in search of said that it views off-price as "defensively positioned" in the near term but well-positioned for continued growth in the long term as other retailers "struggle and close stores." The firm expects TJX to benefit from an attractive buying environment. TheStreet Pro's Stephen Guilfoyle says TJX has a unique advantage among its retail competitors. The Wall Street veteran, who has a $147 price target on TJX, noted in his recent column that plenty of retailers target the budget-conscious consumer. These retailers, he said, led largely by Walmart () , Kohl's () , Dollar Tree () and Five Below () , will see business increase if the economy approaches recession as more and more consumers will turn into bargain hunters. "The difference, for a firm like TJX and a few others, is that many of those other retailers import cheaper goods, much of them from China, in order to keep prices low," he said. "With the recently announced tariffs, these retailers will be forced to choose between diminishing margins and having to raise prices." The longtime trader, whose career dates back to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the 1980s, said TJX's balance sheet "is in significantly better shape than many retailers and what we have come to expect from them." "Should either the economy slow significantly or the new tariffs stand for longer than anyone hopes — or both — TJX is likely to be a beneficiary of that environmental change in a field that would almost certainly sustain heavy damage," he in to access your portfolio
