Is Portland Burning? No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

If your crazy uncle starts ranting about how Portland is burning, send him to this handy website.

On this day in 1871 The Great Chicago Fire is finally extinguished after three days, leaving approximately 300 dead, 100,000 homeless, and causing $222 million in damage.

Hug a firefighter. Ok, that might get weird. How about just thanking them?

As more air traffic controllers miss work, Transportation secretary threatens to fire โ€˜problem childrenโ€™ controllers As the ninth day of the government shutdown wears on, the focus is on how many air traffic controllers show up to work tonight.

Brilliant solution! Theyโ€™re not being paid and therefore not coming to work. So, fire them and have even fewer of them. Sheer genius!

Today is John Lennonโ€™s birthday. He would have been 85 today. On his birthday in 1985 Mayor Koch dedicated the Strawberry Fields memorial in Central Park near The Dakota, his home, where he was shot and killed.
