Rosie the Riveter Park Memorial in Richmond Calif
Fog cloaks the former shipyard as Rosie the Riveter World War I Home Front National Historic Park takes shape in Richmond California. Lucy Lawliss notes the era’s charged emotions while Betty Soskin recounts civilian work and civil rights context. The site preserves a memorial walkway dedicated in 2000 and a rebuilt Ford plant space for exhibits, with landmarks including Shipyard No. 3 and USS Red Oak Victory being restored by veterans.

Helium shortage forces budget balloons in Milwaukee party scene
Milwaukee decorator Lisa Loosen of Heavenly Creations shifts New Year’s Eve plans as helium prices triple and supply shrinks. The federal helium reserve near Amarillo provides about half U.S. needs but refineries lag, forcing more air filled centerpieces and balloon arches. Loosen now offers cost aware designs with half her upcoming 65 centerpieces using helium and the rest air filled.
