At the ribbon cutting this month for the Wesley Village affordable housing complex in Garden Grove, Laura Archuleta couldn ’t resist referencing Joni Mitchell ’s 1970 environmental protest “Big Yellow Taxi.” Built on underused land that’s part of the Garden Grove United Methodist Church campus on Main Street, Wesley Village offered Archuleta , president of the nonprofit community organization Jamboree Housing Corp ., a chance to riff on one of Mitchell’s most famous lyrics. Where Mitchell sang “They paved paradise/And put up a parking lot,” Archuleta told about 300 people packed into the steamy church sanctuary on a hot afternoon that “Today we are going to learn how a group of dedicated organizations and individuals re-purposed a parking lot and put up a paradise.” Then she and others who spoke, including a single mom with six children who now reside at Wesley Village , told how the project became reality through a unique collaboration that involved the church, Jamboree and other...

Illustration by Luke Shuman Ben Rothenberg | Racquet and Longreads | August 2017 | 9 minutes (2,122 words) Our latest Exclusive is a new story by tennis writer Ben Rothenberg and produced in partnership with Racquet magazine . To hear Alexander Zverev Sr . tell it, the tale of how his younger, golden- haired son began to play tennis has the simplicity of a fairy tale involving the Three Bears. “It was all natural for Sascha,” he said. “Mama played, Papa played, brother played . And so, he started to play.” While the Williams sisters have made family reunions in the finals of Grand Slams feel normal , multiple branches of a family tree breaking through to the top of the sport remains a rare phenomenon. This is particularly so in the men’s game, where brothers have rarely shared space in the top 200 together over the past decade. But in a sport that demands individualism, the Zverevs have managed to become the archetypal tennis family , a story line that’s become increasingly prom...

A drive down Main Street in Leicester becomes a trip down memory lane when you pass Joe's Drive-In Restaurant, a newly- reopened food joint that bursts with a retro 1950s vibe . Joe's is a slice of Americana, from its checkered floors and chrome detailing to its gourmet shakes and classic burgers and fries. But it's more than just that. Maria Joseph refurbished the restaurant and named it after her father, Hanna "Joe" Joseph, a lover of Americana who bought acres of land that ended up containing the restaurant and the Leicester Triple Drive -In. Joe's opened about five weeks ago. Sadly, Joe died less than two months before the restaurant reopened . "It's nice to see it come back to life, especially after my father passing. It's a nice, not intentional tribute, but it turned into a way of honoring him," Maria, 51, said Wednesday, sitting on the patio under a yellow umbrella. The restaurant was the first thing her father built on the land, Mar...

Palo Alto Jane Huang, 29 Huang moved to Palo Alto with her parents at the age of four. She attended local high schools and Stanford University. Yet despite her hard work, the Palo Alto housing market is too challenging for her to foresee a future in her hometown. “I went to Stanford, I work as a software developer, I make a six-figure income, and I still have to live with three roommates,” Huang said. “What more can I do?” Huang isn’t worried about not being able to pay her rent, but she is worried about doing anything that might upset her landlord. “Landlords have a lot more power here than they used to,” she said. “They know how impossible it would be for their renters to find anything else locally.” While her concerns for herself are real and serious — “With the current housing market , I’m afraid I’ll have to live with roommates for the rest of my life” — she’s equally concerned about what the housing market means for the many Palo Altans who weren’t fortunate enough t...
