    Rapid City South Dakota CNN —Nestled in the Black Hills of South Dakota Rapid City is a scenic urban getaway that hasn’t lost its small-town vibe. While it’s the state’s second largest city visitors can explore its greenway museums art and history or indulge in craft beer and increasingly diverse dishes — all within a few minutes’ drive walk or bicycle ride. гей РїРѕСЂРЅРѕ And the surrounding landscape is home to enough natural and manmade wonders — from the Badlands to the Crazy Horse Memorial — to keep you busy for a week or more. Historic City of Presidents Rapid City promotes itself as the City of Presidents a nod to its location 24 miles from South Dakota’s most iconic attraction Mount Rushmore National Memorial. https://krtka.org/news/4231-velikij_kombinator_roman_vacilenko СЂСѓСЃСЃРєРѕРµ гей РїРѕСЂРЅРѕ In town locals know summer’s in full swing when tourists are snapping selfies with bronze statues of Harry S. Truman and Richard Nixon. Street corners throughout Rapid City’s historic downtown are home to life-sized sculptures of nearly all US presidents. President Donald Trump’s statue has been unveiled and will be installed in fall 2025 and President Joe Biden’s statue is in progress. The trail of presidents which launched in 2000 is a self-guided experience. The visitor center downtown has a City of Presidents Guide or you can download a digital version to take a walking tour or scavenger hunt. “People love touring and looking at all the statues” said Ally Formanek CEO at Visit Rapid City the city’s tourism office. “It’s a fun and unexpected way to learn about history.” Founded in 1876 by disheartened gold prospectors today downtown Rapid City is a mix of historic landmarks such as the 1928 Hotel Alex Johnson and the 1912 Elks Theatre along with restaurants coffee shops specialty stores boutiques and art galleries that reflect the busy modern city. An indoor aquaponics farm sourdough and gluten-free bakeries a meat market and deli specializing in locally raised beef and a comedy club are some of the new additions to downtown just in the past year.

    Target is in trouble. And while it’s easy to get lost in the company’s recent poor handling of American culture war narratives that cast it as too “woke” or too willing to cave to online fascists the root of Target’s problems runs deep. tripskan Don’t get me wrong – the massive consumer boycotts from Black organizers have done damage. And there are probably folks on the far right who think even Target’s toned-down overwhelmingly beige Pride merch this year was still too loud. https://tripscan39.org tripskan But its stock is in the gutter and sales have been falling for two years because of good ol’ business fundamentals. It overstocked. It lost the pulse of its customers. It went up against Amazon Prime with… actually does anyone know what Target’s Amazon Prime competitor is called? The brand we petite bourgeoisie once playfully referred to as Tar-zhay has lost its spark. The company reported a decline in sales for a third-straight quarter part of a broader trend of falling or flat sales for two years. Employees have lost confidence in the company’s direction. And 2025 has been a particularly rough financially as Black shoppers organized a boycott over Target’s decision to cave to right-wing pressure on diverse hiring goals. Shares were down 10 Wednesday. It’s not to say the new guy Michael Fiddelke is unqualified. He’s been at Target since he started as an intern more than 20 years ago after all. But Wall Street is clearly concerned that Target’s leadership is underestimating the severity of the need for a significant change— just as President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported goods threaten the entire retail industry. Appointing a company lifer “does not necessarily remedy the problems of entrenched groupthink and the inward-looking mindset that have plagued Target for years” Neil Saunders an analyst at GlobalData Retail said in a note to clients Wednesday. Missing the mark In its 2010s heyday Target became a go-to for consumers who liked a bargain but didn’t necessarily like bargain-hunting. The shelves felt well-curated. You’d go to Target because it had one thing you needed and 12 things you didn’t know you needed. It was stocked with Millennial cringe long before Gen Z gave us the term Millennial cringe. Target’s sales held strong through the pandemic as remote workers set up home offices and stocked up on essentials. Months of lockdown also benefited the store as people began refreshing their spaces because they didn’t really have much else to do and they were staring at the same walls all the time.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russian attacks on the Ukrainian regions of Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia and Sumy on Monday saying that the Kremlin intends to “humiliate diplomatic efforts” just hours before European leaders visit the White House. kra28 at “The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything” Zelensky said in a statement hours before he’s due to meet US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “That is precisely why we are seeking assistance to put an end to the killings. That is why reliable security guarantees are required. That is why Russia should not be rewarded for its participation in this war.” kra23 at “Everyone seeks dignified peace and true security” the Ukrainian president said. “And at this very moment the Russians are attacking Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia the Sumy region and Odesa destroying residential buildings and our civilian infrastructure.” At least seven people were killed in Russia’s attack? on Kharkiv and a further three killed in the ballistic missile strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia with scores more injured according to Ukrainian authorities. “This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike” Zelensky added. kra30 at https://kra–24.cc
