New York Times, Beltline Follow Ups

• The New York Times finally got with the program and ditched the Times Select service Tuesday. Good riddance! Previously pay-to-read archival material has been released.

• Thus, you may all now read the recent New York Times article on the Wren’s Nest.

• Other articles of note: (1) Is Brer Rabbit the only censored Rabbit? (2) Disney’s Fascination with Ethnicity and (3) this biting letter regarding Uncle Remus from way back in 1995.

• WABE, the station that broadcasts NPR in Atlanta, has posted its series of excellent podcasts on the nearby Atlanta Beltline.

• Speaking of the Beltline, the staff of the Wren’s Nest will help clean it up on October 20. This is the part comprising the aforementioned arboretum. We are excited to do so, though we’d be more excited if Park Pride could provide a keg of beer to accompany our efforts. Just a thought.
