Everything Everywhere Daily - The Most Important Supermarket Visit in History
The cold war was the defining event of the second half of the 20th century.
When exactly it ended has been subject to debate. Was it the fall of the Berlin Wall? Was the day the Soviet Union was dissolved?
There is an argument to be made that end might have actually occurred before any of those things, although no one knew it at the time.
The event in question didn’t take place in Moscow or Washington but in a supermarket in the suburbs of Houston.
Learn more about the most important supermarket visit in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Bozoma Saint John opens up about trauma, grief and healing in ‘The Urgent Life’
Bozoma Saint John says that the loss of her first daughter, who was born prematurely because of preeclampsia, left deep scars in her relationship with her husband. It contributed to their separation later on – but it also led to a lot of reflection after Saint John's husband's cancer diagnosis brought them back together before he died. These are some of the challenges the former Netflix and Pepsi executive explores in her new memoir, The Urgent Life. As Saint John tells NPR's Asma Khalid, there's a lot more shame associated with marriage and motherhood – especially for Black women – than is often talked about. But there's also a lot of resilience in finding a path forward.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Proscription Lists
The movie The Purge depicts a fictitious world where one night a year, there is a war of all against all.
If you look back in history, you will find a time when something similar happened.
Except it wasn’t a case of everyone against everyone, it was a case of everyone against a few.
For those who were the victim of this, it was terrifying.

Bay Curious - How San Francisco Got its Bike Lanes
There are hundreds of miles of bike lanes in San Francisco, making it one of the most bike friendly cities in America. But that wasn't the case until the 90s. The transformation was due, in large part, to two groups working without coordination: The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition – an advocacy organization, and Critical Mass – the name of a regular group bike ride. This week, reporter Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman tells the story of how these two groups changed the way people cycle in San Francisco, whether the city liked it or not.
Additional Reading:
This story was reported by Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman. Bay Curious is made by Olivia Allen-Price, Amanda Font and Brendan Willard. Special thanks to Scott Shafer, Paul Lancour and Dan Brekke for their help with this story, and to Ted White who shared archival audio from his documentaries “We Are Traffic” and “Return of the Scorcher.”
