The heavy sound of vehicles trundling overhead is impossible to ignore from beneath one of the UK’s best-known concrete structures, which turns 50 on Tuesday. Thousands of motorists travel through the Gravelly Hill Interchange on the outskirts of Birmingham at every hour of every day. Spaghetti Junction at 50: What lies beneath?
Le périurbain fait historiquement l’objet d’une certaine stigmatisation.

« Nous sommes si nombreux à avoir grandi pendant cette étrange période de transition des années 2000. On était confrontés à des trucs qui avaient mal vieilli, de vieilles choses restées presque inchangées, non entretenues, et des bâtiments non rénovés », explique-t-il. The Backrooms : l’image d’un bureau glauque retourne tout Internet
To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android. When I heard the news that my mother had suffered a stroke, the feeling that surfaced wasn’t despair, but an impulse to problem solve. Ambient Music Isn’t a Backdrop.

My family go to a local Catholic church where, to my wild schoolboy excitement, Leeds United players regularly attend mass. Sightings of Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray, Terry Yorath – tie-knots as wide as their trouser flares – are the real religious experience for me.
