The Hills Alum Whitney Port's Rare Video With Son Sonny Shows the Delicious Way They Bond
The Hills alum Whitney Port's son Sonny is truly her mini-me, from looks to their love of snacks; and this video proves it! In case you missed it, earlier this week, Port shared a darling video of her and her son. She shared the video on her Instagram with the caption reading, 'The biggest snackers you'll ever meet.' In the video, we see Port and her lookalike son Sonny being as adorable as can be, with Sonny revealing what he got from the convenience store: a Twinkie, Veggie Straws, and a Blueberry Slushie. Port jokes that it's the 'breakfast of champions' as he sillily eats with his mouth open, both of them smiling from ear to ear. How precious is this?! For those who don't know, Port and The City producer Tim Rosenman tied the knot in 2015, after getting together four years prior. They share a child together, a son named Sonny, born in July 2017. In a previous interview with Refinery29, Port talked about how her relationship with her body and her mindset on it all changed after becoming a mama. 'After having Sonny though, my perspective grew up. Getting my body back became less about losing weight and more about being healthy and feeling confident. I eat healthier now, I finally have the energy to work out, and overall, I'm just more forgiving of myself,' she said. 'Self-acceptance was the one the hardest things for me to learn after my pregnancy, and also the most freeing.' Before you go, check out you didn't realize are parents.

City of Springfield announces initiative to reduce pedestrian and driver crashes
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The City of Springfield introduced a public safety initiative called 'Help Without the Hazard' on Monday, aiming to reduce safety risks for pedestrians and drivers in high-traffic areas. The initiative is a collaboration between the city, Springfield police and local service providers. They are using the effort to promote pedestrian safety and find safer alternatives in order to reduce serious accidents involving drivers assisting pedestrians near the roadway. 'Standing or walking near moving traffic, especially outside of designated crosswalks, puts pedestrians and drivers at serious risk,' said Chad Zickefoose, Public Works Traffic Engineer. 'When drivers stop unexpectedly or interact with individuals in the roadway, it creates distractions, disrupts traffic flow, and increases the risk of crashes. The 'Help Without the Hazard' campaign promotes compassion in a way that doesn't compromise safety or mobility on our streets.' Springfield drivers react to new downtown speed bumps The City says the initiative helps those in need more safely by connecting them with needed resources and drivers to community-based organizations that will assist those in need long-term. Local residents are encouraged to support groups that are helping individuals with food, shelter and employment assistance.

Vancouver sets byelection record for advance, mail-in voting
Social Sharing The City of Vancouver says in two days of advance voting for the April 5 byelection, 7,671 votes were cast while 6,400 mail-in ballots had been requested. "Advance voting opportunities in the Vancouver byelection have shattered previous records so far," said a statement from Natti Schmid, the city's elections communications and outreach manager. Vancouver announced details of the byelection in late January after coun. Adriane Carr (Green Party of Vancouver) resigned. Coun. Christine Boyle (OneCity) vacated her seat in the fall after being elected to the provincial legislature. The byelection comes about 2.5 years into the current council's four-year mandate and is seen as a measure of resident satisfaction with the ruling ABC Vancouver party's direction over public safety, fiscal responsibility and development and density. The city held advance voting at a single location — city hall — on March 26 and April 1. On the first day of advance voting, voters cast 2,876 ballots, and on the second day, voters cast 4,795 ballots, the city said. It said both days "significantly" surpassed the previous record of approximately 2,500 ballots cast at a single voting location in any election. "After the first two days of advance voting, Vancouver voters have cast 7,671 ballots total, an 84 per cent increase over the two advance voting days in 2017," said the statement from Schmid. WATCH | City hall watcher explains the importance of Vancouver's byelection: April 1 last day of advance polling in Vancouver byelection 24 hours ago Duration 6:42 Mail-in ballots The city said it has also had a significant response for mail-in ballots, which it expanded to all eligible voters for this byelection. The deadline to receive a mail-in ballot has passed, but since March 18, 6,400 were requested compared to 647 in 2017, when vote by mail was limited to individuals meeting specific criteria. For comparison, during the 2022 general election, 7,235 vote-by-mail packages were returned, representing 1.5 per cent of the vote, said city staff in January. On April 5, general voting day, there will be 25 voting locations across the city open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for eligible voters to cast ballots. Candidates contesting the race have said they are hoping for a greater turnout than in 2017, when only about 11 per cent of voters elected the NPA's Hector Bremner. He amassed 13,372 votes. City staff said, historically, byelections in Vancouver have seen low voter turnout, but voting so far in 2025 has exceeded expectations. "The strong participation in this byelection so far is a powerful testament to Vancouverites' commitment to shaping our community's future," said Schmid. In the City of Vancouver's 138-year history, only 17 byelections have been held, according to the city website. There are 13 candidates in the two-seat race and they have been randomly selected to appear on the ballot as follows:

Atlanta's municipal workforce returns to office
The Brief The City of Atlanta will ask all of its employees to return to work, except for those in the 311 department. The more than 8,000 employees should return on April 10. City Councilman Michael Julian Bond says returning to work will provide an economic boost to the areas near city buildings. ATLANTA - For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down city buildings in March 2020, Atlanta is requiring nearly all of its more than 8,000 municipal employees to return to the office. City officials say the return date is set for April 10. What we know The directive impacts all city officials except for 311 call center staffers, who will remain remote. Interim Human Resources Commissioner Calvin Blackburn III said the return applies even to those employees who have worked entirely from home over the past five years. They will now be required to report in person at least three days a week."[It's necessary] to keep Atlanta moving forward," Blackburn said. City officials say the move mirrors many private-sector trends and is expected to benefit neighborhoods surrounding city facilities, which have seen a downturn in foot traffic and small business revenue since the shift to remote work. What they're saying "This is really kind of addressing a return to normalcy," said City Councilman Michael Julian Bond. "Just like in the private sector, the city makes a substantial investment in the buildings that we maintain. There is a cost to that. When people return to the facility, there is an economic impact on the surrounding community — whether they're buying gas, lunch, groceries, what have you." "The mayor is always present, and so he's leading by example," Bond said. "I know it's great to work in your pajamas, because the City Council did it for almost two years, but you've got the call to serve the public — and this is the best way to serve them." The Source FOX 5's Aungelique Proctor talked to city officials in the mayor's office and council members for this story.
