Sigma Cannabis aims for local community integration and self-sufficiency in the cannabis industry.
We like to choose coffees based on feedback. We love listening to what our customers are excited about, and we will bring in other roasters so that we can all try them together. We all have slightly different palates.
I spent 18 seasons here before moving to Park City, UT, in 2018, and I long to come back every day. This place shaped me as a man and a skier. It forged my career and gave me a skillset that has translated into an ability to ski all over the world, and I'm forever grateful.
Puerto Rico's boutique hotels are the island's best storytellers. Small, locally owned properties can shape a trip in ways chains cannot. In Old San Juan, they occupy vibrant streets where pastel-colored facades meet cobblestones, letting guests wander from museums and galleries to independent shops without ever leaving the neighborhood.
I met Carole Guscott, a retired former carer, on a clear winter's morning in the Somerset town of Minehead. She was walking her whippet, Gracie, on the way back to her new flat, past the local Premier Inn and on to a cul de sac called Rainbow Way. I knew as soon as I saw it, she told me. I just thought: I can make this place my home.'
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
Under the patchy lawns of Lakeside, there lies a pre-colonial "Oughnum", or "good hunting land" in the indigenous Algonquian dialect. In early Spring one year, my family and I watched a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers bore a nest for their clutch at the rotting end of a shorn bow. They did their work several paces from where we sat each afternoon. Eventually, the excavating stopped and the female settled in. We joyfully awaited little chirps. One morning, we found two eggs broken beneath the nest and another unbroken at the center of the yard. In an Orwellian nod to Manifest Destiny, European Starlings had raided the nest and made it their own.
Labour committee chair Cllr Mahym Bedekova stated the plan was too close to neighbouring homes and would become too overcrowded. Conservative committee member Cllr Michael Rye agreed. He said: It's overdevelopment for the site, the car-free element cannot be justified given that there's no controlled parking zone (CPZ) in place. This will add parking stress, which is already an issue on the road.
