National Monuments Tell America’s Story

Readers call for more designations by President Obama, and applaud his naming of Stonewall.

"According to the White House, the monument designation will consist of 7.7 acres, protecting the tavern, Christopher Park across the street, and several other streets and sidewalks where spontaneous protests were held for equal rights in 1969."

If it is responsible then the university must investigate such activity.
If it is not responsible the investigation must be handed to the civil authorities.

At a Cape Cod Landmark, a Strategic Retreat From the Ocean

At Herring Cove Beach, facing an erosion problem as many other coastal areas are, a damaged parking lot is being replaced with one farther back.

“Given the forecast of future sea level rise over the next century and beyond, every problem that we have along the coast right now will only increase,” Mr. Thieler said. “That, I think, ties back to why managed retreat, in places where you can employ it, is a good option.”

Province Town has the space to retreat.

We could think about a space and a shed there.
