The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

First Avenue’s rock-star stage manager Conrad Sverkerson dies at 66 The Twin Cities native “ran a tight ship” at Minneapolis’ legendary nightclub for 37 years and was frequently shouted out by musicians.

"We would go out on tour for two months, and whether it went well or not, we were always happy to come home to play that final show at First Ave because we knew Conrad would be there to greet us."

RIP Conrad Sverkerson

"Engh’s script is hilarious, breakneck, and so profusely gay that it reads like a dialect. It exemplifies how much the amorphousness of gay identity owes to a ravenous consumption and regurgitation of media."
