An elderly man guards a North American mystery. Decades ago, he fled across the border from his home, and began to amass a collection of old school buses. Acting mostly alone, and fed by impulse and fear, he said he needed them on account of their reinforced steel roofs — and he began to dig.

So why did he take on this colossal project, and what is he hiding inside? Read on to find out what exactly Bruce Beach is up to.   Continue reading “This 83-Year-Old Decided to Stash 42 Buses Underground”

So the 57-year-old anthropology professor fed her Chihuahua-dachshund mix a freeze-dried chicken strip, swapped her cigarette trousers for stretchy black yoga pants, and began to unfold a set of white sheets and a beige cotton blanket to make up her bed.   Continue reading “The Homeless Crisis Is Getting Worse in America’s Richest Cities”
