Atlas Obscura – Curious and Wondrous Travel Destinations
In Detroit, no summer is complete without a frothy ice cream–based drink called, oddly enough, the “Boston Cooler.” Born in Boston, the Cooler reached its zenith in Detroit soda fountains of the mid-1900s, where soda jerks blended ice cream and local Vernors ginger soda to make a bubbly milkshake that locals say holds its consistency better than a root beer float.

Justice Department Secures Consent Decree in Louisiana School Desegregation Case | OPA | Department of Justice
The department presented evidence at district court hearings in April 2021, August 2022 and March 2023 showing that St. Martin Parish has long maintained a dual system of racially identifiable elementary schools in the St. Martinville and Catahoula attendance zones. Under the terms of the consent order, the district will, among other requirements:
- Enhance educational opportunities in the historically Black attendance zone of St. Martinville by creating a robust magnet program to attract students from across the district;
- Work with the department, private plaintiffs and community members to develop and implement a robust magnet program;
- Hire and train the staff necessary to support these students and ensure the success of the magnet program; and
- Advertise and grant student transfers to promote opportunities and further desegregation in all district schools.
