Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:05 GMT

A new text alert service is aiming to to prevent Bostonians from being towed.The free, resident-created service Tow Zone Alert allows drivers to register their license plate and receive automated text messages if their vehicle is parked illegally. Users can also alert other drivers who are registered.The creators hope that it will help people navigate the confusing street cleaning schedules.“A lot of the street cleaning schedules say that there’s street cleaning on the first Monday or weekday of the month on the even sides and the second and the fourth weekdays on the odd sides,” said Tow Zone Alerts founder Eli Silvert. “If we’ve made a mistake in terms of where we’ve parked, if a neighbor or even a ticket maid could give us a reminder, we think that’s helpful,” he added. Residents who are interested in signing up for the alert service can do so on the Tow Zone Alerts website.

Met Gala 2023 fashion: The best looks from the red carpet

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:05 GMT

(CNN) — It’s the first Monday of May, which means the Met Gala is back, with A-Listers descending upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for fashion’s most extravagant night.While last year’s theme leaned into the lavishness of the Gilded Era, this year is focusing on a different legacy of luxury: “In honor of Karl” is a tribute to the life and career of Karl Lagerfeld, the powerhouse — and often controversial — designer who transformed some of fashion’s most famous houses. Lagerfeld became synonymous with Chanel in the decades he served as creative director, and when he died in 2019, at age 85, he was still helming Chanel and Fendi, where he led design for more than half a century, as well as his own eponymous label.The Met Gala theme is based on the Costume Institute’s spring show “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” which is a posthumous retrospective of the Germa...

Front office weighs when to promote prospects as Chicago Cubs — and a bloodied Dansby Swanson — shake off sweep with 5-1 win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:05 GMT

The image of blood dripping near the right eyebrow of Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson on Monday night invoked the play-through-anything reputation he has developed during his career.This isn’t the first time Swanson’s helmet cut him. This time, as he slid headfirst into second base for a one-out double in the third inning of the Cubs’ 5-1 win versus the Washington Nationals, the helmet popped off and became pinned against second baseman Luis Garcia’s leg, cutting Swanson as Garcia turned to apply the tag.It prompted a brief delay as manager David Ross applied pressure to the small gash to stop the bleeding while a Cubs trainer put on medical gloves to bandage the spot.“I guess I can add that to my resume,” Ross quipped.Swanson joked with Ross that he had been watching too much Stanley Cup playoff hockey lately.“I’m 0-for-3 in terms of wins against a helmet,” Swanson said. “So unfortunately this is nothing new.

Stock market today: Wall Street subdued before Fed meeting

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:05 GMT

TOKYO — Wall Street inched lower before the bell Tuesday ahead of what many hope will be the last interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve for some time. Futures for the Dow Jones industrials ticked down 0.2% before the bell and the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, with the response to the third failure of a sizeable U.S. bank on Monday muted. Investors appear more focused on the next moves at the Federal Reserve, which begins a two-day meeting Tuesday. Most economists expect the Fed to raise short-term rate by another quarter of a percentage point, up to a range of 5 to 5.25% from virtually zero early last year.The Fed has been raising rates sharply in hopes of getting high inflation under control. But high rates are a notoriously blunt tool that slow the entire economy, raise the risk of a recession and hurt prices for investments. They also contributed to the recent turmoil in the financial sector, particularly for banks top heavy with rate sensitive investments like bonds. If ban...
