Turkey, nexus of US incompetence
Today, eastward from the Atlantic, America faces more hostility and can count on less support than ever.

Bennidito’s owners have seen this before: street construction that robs business
This isn’t the first time that Chris and Sigrid Bennett, owners of two Bennidito’s locations, have suffered through construction-related slowdowns in their businesses. This is the third time in a little more than three years their two pizza and brew pub locations have been hampered because the streets were torn up. In 2014, South Monroe and Lincoln streets were shut down for months for reconstruction of the arterial to two through lanes with drainage features, new sidewalks and crosswalks. Then last year, the city closed the Monroe Street Hill southbound and Lincoln northbound to remake that street. Now, East Sprague Avenue is shut down from Helena to Altamont streets. It is a strip with numerous small businesses now suffering from lost business.
