Norwich Meadows Farm, an organic farm based in Norwich, New York, reported on Instagram that a major fire destroyed its main barn and packing shed overnight on Thursday, December 11, wiping out its packhouse, refrigeration, machinery, scales, and other essential equipment. No one was hurt. For now, the priority is restoring power to protect winter storage crops; the team says it's not yet clear what the next few days or weeks will look like for markets and orders.

The Music Hall of Williamsburg, the beloved 650-capacity venue that helped define North Brooklyn's modern concert scene, will lose its lease at the end of 2026 and may be forced to relocate or close altogether. The news comes via an internal memo from Bowery Presents co-partners Jim Glancy and John Moore, and later confirmed by multiple outlets. According to the memo, the owners of the building at 66 North Sixth Street have opted not to renew the venue's lease.

We opened the venue and hosted countless artists at the very beginning of their careers, including Mumford and Sons, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Ed Sheeran, Tyler, The Creator, Brandi Carlile, The xx, The Weeknd, Robyn, Disclosure, the War on Drugs, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Phoebe Bridgers, IDLES, Maggie Rogers, Fred again.., Geese, and Audrey Hobert, to name just a few.
