PODCAST: Electric car pollution
by Tobin Low
None!On today's show, we'll talk about the new consumer spending numbers out for June — they were the lowest they've been in four months. Plus, for some years now driving an electric car has been viewed by many as the ultimate badge of environmental consciousness. Yet, a growing body of research now suggests that electric cars might actually produce more pollution than a comparable gasoline-powered car.
Consumer spending for June, and electric car pollution.

Where To Go This Weekend | August 2015, Week 1
by Staff
None!phil how long do you think it would take us to ride the silk road?
Another packed weekend guide here for you, this time featuring egg hatch viewings, fancy ice cream men, fashion vaporizers, food styling, cycling trips… we’ve got it all. After the jump.
See our past weekend guides here.
NEW YORK: The Mark Hotel Ice Cream Stand
Ice cream first came to New York City in the 1700s, and people have been losing their minds over it ever since. In homage to the frozen delicacy we all scream for, The Mark Hotel has set up a temporary confection stand, complete with n ice cream men dressed in a jaunty vendor’s cap and apron. You’re never too old for that.

NEW YORK: Mmuseumm Egg Hatch Viewings
Yes, it’s exactly as the title says: Mmuseumm is offering weekend sessions to view 12 eggs being hatched. According to the museum, this is ” For those who have never seen a chicken hatch; Or any birth for that matter; For those who want to reflect on beginnings; For children and families; For the curious.”

NEW YORK: Rizzoli‘s New Flagship
We love all things Rizzoli so we were excited to learn about the publisher’s newest shop in New York City. Located inside of the historic St. James Building in the Flat Iron district, this is our new go-to spot for coffee table books. We suggest a stop in this weekend.

NEW YORK: Seaport Studios Pop-Up
Seaport Studios opens up its second pop-up space featuring designers like Timo Weiland, Mykita and more all displayed in a conceptual build-out. Although adjacent to the hustle and bustle of the Financial District, lower Manhattan’s Seaport is a place of its own — we like to think of it as FiDi’s cooler cousin. After shopping the pop-up, this is definitely a neighborhood worth exploring.

CHICAGO: Notre
Following a release at ODIN, vaporizer brand Pax just launched yesterday at Chicago’s Notre menswear boutique. Find the Pax 2 device alongside staples like contemporary visvim, adidas, John Elliott, Our Legacy, Hender Scheme, Norse Projects, Head Porter, Engineered Garments, Viberg… and the list goes on.

LIVIGNO, ITALY: European Bicycle Adventure Meeting
As part of the Adventure Awards Day, our friends at PEdALED are taking part in the first edition of the European Bicycle Adventure Meeting, also known as BAM! Stop by to hear PEdALED’s ambassador Alessandro Gallo detail a cycling journey that traced the trail of the Silk Road and took him from China all the way through Italy. The best part of all of this is undoubtedly the location; Livigno is sequestered in the center of the beautiful Lombardy Alps.

This weekend, 032c opens up a new retrospective look back at 20 years of Raf Simons’ work as photographed by Willy Vanderperre.

Rich in culture, the site pays homage to local craft, history and tradition — a worthy stop if given the opportunity.

Kentucky fried photo printer
by Tobin Low
None!15 percent
That's how much imported goods from China to Egypt dropped in April, the month Egypt announced a ban on imported traditional tourist items. In the wake of the revolution in 2011, many local manufacturers closed down as tourism dwindled. But as visitors returned, imported goods from China filled the need for miniature pyramids and special lanterns.
25 percent
That's the percentage of Medicare spending that consistently pays for end-of-life care. Costs related to hospice services continue to rise; half of Medicare patients who died in 2013 were in hospice care. That's double what it was in 2000.
60 years
That's how long KFC has been around in Canada. And to celebrate, the company is releasing a high-tech chicken bucket that doubles as a photo printer. As Slate reports, the bucket connects to your phone via Bluetooth. No word yet on whether or not the bucket is, indeed, finger lickin' good.
13.3 percent
That's the national average percentage of homes on the market that are underwater, meaning they were mortgaged for more than they're worth. But that's only part of the story. In cities like Chicago, that percentage spikes in poorer neighborhoods, where as much as 25 percent of homes on the market are deemed underwater.
Here are the numbers we're reading and watching for Thursday.
