Designs for this long-vacant Bronx armory were just approved—take a gander at the upgrades
After three decades of dashed dreams and dormant space, the Kingsbridge Armory is finally getting its comeback moment. The city's Landmarks Preservation Commission just gave a green light to a sweeping redesign that reimagines the 570,000-square-foot fortress as a bustling new cultural and community hub—one part event venue, one part local launchpad, and all Bronx. Dubbed El Centro Kingsbridge, the $500 million project will revive the 1917 behemoth with a mix of preservation and reinvention. Think: restored copper-roofed turrets and archways paired with solar panels, skylights and sleek new glass doors. The cavernous drill hall will transform into a light-filled public concourse complete with food vendors, programming space and entrances at all four corners. Upstairs, a newly inserted floor will house an entertainment venue, cultural spaces and community rooms, while the level below it will be outfitted for light manufacturing incubators and offices—aka, a playground for local entrepreneurs. And down on the basement level: parking and event loading zones (because even reinvention needs a back-of-house). Outside, a new Kingsbridge Plaza will fill a critical green space gap in the neighborhood, complete with shaded market stalls, movable furniture and stormwater gardens. Along Reservoir Avenue, a landscaped 'allee' will provide seating and improve circulation. The vision even includes preserving a grove of mature trees because not everything has to be new to be fresh. The residential component, a 16-story building planned for the north side of the site, will deliver 500 affordable apartments across four income tiers. Designed to play nice with the historic armory, the tower includes a central cut-through offering direct access to the armory from West 195th Street. El Centro Kingsbridge is helmed by 8th Regiment Partners (a collab between Maddd Equities and Joy Construction), with design by FXCollaborative, Aufgang and SCAPE. The proposal will next be reviewed by City Planning and City Council, with a final vote expected in November. If all goes to plan, construction is expected to begin in 2027 and be completed by 2032. Hey, for a building that's waited 30 years, what's seven more?

Films That Feel Like Listening to Cairokee
Some songs feel like they were written for the big screen, and no one does that quite like Cairokee. Their lyrics aren't just catchy; they're real and full of emotion. You hear them and suddenly, you're in a coming-of-age montage, a messy breakup scene, or a revolution led by twenty-somethings who've had enough. So what happens when you flip the script? What if the song came first and the film was its echo? Here are 4 films that have the same soul as Cairokee tracks. Some are loud and rebellious, others soft and aching, but they all feel like they belong in the same universe. Let the playlist begin. Which film feels like your favorite track? El Hawa Sultan El Hawa Sultan is one of those films that reminds you how rare and slow-burning real love can be, the kind that grows quietly, and when it blooms, it's soft, simple, and impossible to unsee. Just like 'Layla', pure, warm, and filled with all the innocent emotions that best capture the love. Siko Siko Siko Siko is a brutally honest look at how hard it is to 'do the right thing' when the economy is crashing down on your head. It's messy. It's funny. It's tragic and no song sums it up better than 'El Sekka Shemal Fi Shemal', a track that doesn't glamorize the fall but lays it bare: life can drag you places you swore you'd never go, just to make it to the next day. 6 Ayam It gives us two lovers who keep meeting again and again, on the same day, in different years. Time and fate pull them apart, but the feelings never fade. It's slow and frustrating but it's real. And Nefsy A7ebek is the soundtrack to all of it: the longing, the fear, the weight of unsaid words. It's a song for the ones who felt it deeply but spoke too late. El Ba7s 3an Manfaz L Khoroug El Sayed Rambo This film isn't just about escape, it's about the fight we all know too well: the one inside, the anger, the fear, and the pull between staying good or giving in. No2ta Beida is about the days when the world pushes you to your edge, and you have to dig deep to find what's still clean, still human, still yours. Cairokee's songs have always felt like more than just music, they carry stories that are messy, emotional, and raw, the kind that stays with you long after the chorus fades. And these films? They echo that same feeling.

Search continues for 2 people still missing after 6 killed when boat capsized on Lake Tahoe
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Divers searched a section of Lake Tahoe on Monday for two people still missing after six others were killed when a boat capsized during a powerful weekend thunderstorm that whipped up high waves, authorities said. Ten people were on board the 27-foot (8-meter) gold Chris-Craft vessel when it flipped Saturday afternoon near D.L. Bliss State Park on the lake's southwest edge, U.S. Coast Guard officials said. Two people were rescued immediately and taken to a hospital in unknown condition. Six bodies were recovered later Saturday, said Sgt. Kyle Parker with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office. Their names won't be released until family members are notified, he said. The intensity of the thunderstorm surprised even forecasters, who had predicted some rain but nothing like the sudden squall that lashed the southern part of the lake around 3 p.m., said meteorologist Matthew Chyba with the National Weather Service office in Reno, Nevada. Winds topped 35 mph (56 kph) and waves swelled more than 8 feet (2.5 meters). 'We weren't expecting it to be so strong,' Chyba said Monday. He said temperatures in the area were 15 to 25 degrees below normal for this time of year, which could have contributed to the unstable air mass. Eight-foot waves on Tahoe is 'pretty significant,' Chyba said. 'They were really rocking the lake.' Lake Tahoe is a popular summer recreation destination for boaters, kayakers and paddleboarders. The pristine lake with very cold water straddles California and Nevada and is one of the deepest in the country, second only to Oregon's Crater Lake. Rescue crews and divers scoured the area Saturday evening for the remaining two victims and resumed efforts Sunday morning before the Coast Guard eventually called off its search. El Dorado County sheriff's deputies continued searching Monday with help from other agencies from California and neighboring Nevada, Parker said. The storm Saturday cleared out within about two hours. Chris Williams, a party boat operator with Tahoe Sports, was one of four company captains on the lake Saturday when the weather turned. He was stunned by the force of the storm and the size of the swells. 'We braved the weather and came back during some severe wave heights that have never been seen on Lake Tahoe,' Williams told the San Francisco Chronicle. 'We were pushing the vessels to their maximum capabilities while making sure to keep all clients safely aboard.'
