Solar power made history in the United States in May 2026. ☀️

For the first month on record, solar generated more U.S. electricity than coal, according to Ember’s analysis of official electricity data.

Solar supplied 12.8% of U.S. power that month, while coal supplied 12.2%, marking a major shift in America’s energy mix.

That milestone showed how quickly solar has grown from a smaller clean-energy source into a serious force on the national grid.

A powerful reminder: the energy future is not arriving slowly. It is already rising with the sun.

You can't separate the food from the people who cook it. Not here.

Several times a year, the cob pizza oven in the Peace Gardens fires up for a neighborhood party — vegetables from the garden, live music from the block, everyone welcome. Built entirely from reused brick and salvaged materials.

This is what restoring a community actually looks like: full bellies, full block, nobody left out.

Swing by the Peace Gardens soon. Be on the lookout for future events and changes coming to the market. And if you've never taken a Hood Tour — now's the time. Link in bio 🌱
