4. We’ve been doing the regular Fill The Spot feature since February. What spots have been filled and what still needs a new owner or tenant? The summary will post today.

5. It’s the bicentennial of the USS Constitution’s defeat of the HMS Java, a British frigate, in a battle off the coast of Brazil. This was the second frigate the British lost to the Constitution in six months during the opening period of the War of 1812.
