Fifth Avenue South in Clinton will experience a partial closure on Thursday, June 4, to allow for preparatory work related to upcoming sewer and water installation, a news release says.

The roadway will then be fully closed to all traffic on Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5, to complete the installation work.

The roadway will reopen to traffic over the weekend. But drivers should be aware that additional closures are expected next week as crews return to complete concrete restoration work.

Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes during construction periods and to exercise caution when traveling near the work zone.

Yes, Dr. Sarah Axelrath of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless told the Denver City Council Monday. Axelrath, an addiction medicine specialist, said going after drug traffickers doesn’t make people stop using substances. In fact, she said it disrupts “an already potent and unpredictable drug supply.” Demand doesn’t go down after a bust. New players come to market who could be peddling an even more toxic product.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

7 Classic County Fair Casseroles, With the Full Recipes

County fair cooking competitions have been a fixture of American life since at least the mid-1800s, and the casserole division has long been one of the busiest. Home cooks would spend weeks testing batches, write the recipe down in pencil on an index card, and carry a covered dish to the fairgrounds in late summer knowing the judges were taking notes on appearance, taste, and whether the thing held together when you cut into it.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

I Poured a Full Can of Soda Into My Cake Batter, and I'm Never Using Water Again

This Dr Pepper cake starts with a box of chocolate fudge cake mix, a box of instant chocolate pudding, and a full cup of Dr Pepper stirred right into the batter. The soda keeps the cake moist and adds just a hint of flavor in the background, not an overpowering soda taste. Once it bakes, a warm chocolate frosting gets poured right over the top so it soaks in a little as it sets.

7 Supper Dishes 1970s Families Stretched to Last the Week

Through most of the 1970s, grocery prices climbed faster than they had in a generation. The sharpest jump came in 1973 and 1974, when food at home rose about 16 percent in one year and nearly 15 percent again in the next. A chuck roast went from being a Sunday treat to something you braised on Monday and ate cold in sandwiches through Wednesday. Canned tuna, dry beans, hot dogs, and whatever cut of meat was on sale became the backbone of the week's suppers, stretched with egg noodles, cornbread, or a can of cream soup.

Harrison Ford’s Grilled Cheese Secret That Took Mine to the Next Level

A grilled cheese should be simple, but one small trick can change the entire sandwich. Think deeply golden, crisp-edged bread surrounding a hot, melty center, with enough buttery richness to make every bite crackle before the cheese pulls apart. The appeal here is not piling on a dozen fancy ingredients—it is taking familiar bread and cheese and paying attention to the detail that makes the outside crisp while the middle stays gooey. That combination of toasted bread, salty butter, and molten cheese is pure lunch-counter nostalgia, the kind of comfort food that still tastes just as satisfying as it did when someone made it for you as a kid.
