This Silicon Valley city has been named the Swiftie Capital of the U.S.
Quick Glance: Santa Clara: The Swiftie Capital of the USA
  • When Santa Clara ceremonially changed its name to Swiftie Clara last summer in honor of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking “The Eras Tour” coming to town, it was supposed to be a fun gesture for two nights only. But the moniker seems to have stuck, as new data suggests the Silicon Valley city is the nation’s Swiftie Capital.

  • How did Santa Clara achieve this recognition? Through an analysis by Casino.org of the 20 cities visited by Swift on the 2023 U.S. leg of her tour, evaluating various metrics such as tour attendance, Google searches, TikTok posts, and Swift-themed events.

  • Approximately 10,700 TikTok videos were recorded during Swift's concerts on July 28 and 29 in Santa Clara. One standout video shows Swift pointing to the crowd during the “Enchanted” musical interlude, with fireworks from Great America lighting up the background.

  • Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor, who named Swift the honorary mayor, expressed pride in her city being the Swiftie Capital. The tour attracted around 137,000 fans, surpassing the city's population.

Quick Glance: Buyers Secure San Jose Downtown Condos at Foreclosure Auction with Bids up to $32,300
  • Potential buyers gathered for an auction to acquire ten condominiums in a residential building in downtown San Jose constructed by a developer facing challenges, despite legal processes aiming to postpone the foreclosure and sale.

  • Following the delinquency of Z&L Properties in paying the HOA maintenance fees for the ten condominiums, the association for the dual-tower complex organized the auction.

  • Despite the issuance of a temporary restraining order by Santa Clara County Superior Court Helen Williams on April 2, the auction activities continued outside the courthouse, leading to an unexpected and thrilling sequence of events.

  • Z&L Properties has a 90-day window to reclaim ownership of the recently sold units if the outstanding fees, fines, and interests for each condominium are settled. Nevertheless, the purchasers of the nine units paid a remarkable fraction of the expected price for residential properties in a high-rise building in the Bay Area.

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
  • John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

  • The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

  • Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

  • This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

Quick Glance: California: New Minimum Wage Impact on Fast Food Industry
  • Most fast food workers in California will earn at least $20 per hour starting Monday, providing more financial stability to the profession and potentially raising prices in the high-cost state.

  • The law was supported by the fast food franchise owners' trade association. However, many owners have expressed concerns about the law's impact on their businesses amid California's economic slowdown.

  • California has doubled its minimum wage to $16 per hour over the last decade, with data showing increased wages and sustained employment levels.

  • The law represents a negotiated compromise between the fast food industry and labor unions, applying to restaurants with limited table service and part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments.
