With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, autumn activities such as leaf peeping and apple picking have drawn renewed interest as they provide opportunities for socially distanced fun. ⠀
⠀
While there are plenty of opportunities around the Northeast in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, there are also great spots in Connecticut, which was an easy pick for a two-day escape from New York City – and one that was not included on the state's quarantine list.⠀

Scores of cities and towns plan to host virtual or outdoor events Monday to mark Indigenous Peoples Day, which celebrates and honors Native American histories and cultures.
The notion of an Indigenous Peoples Day took root at an international conference on discrimination sponsored by the United Nations in 1977. South Dakota was the first state to recognize the day in 1989, and the cities of Berkeley and Santa Cruz, California, followed. California and Tennessee observe Native American Day in September.
Though some groups argue that Columbus Day celebrates Italian American heritage, many say the holiday glorifies an exploration that led to the genocide of native peoples and paved the way for slavery.

Fireworks exploded. Horns blared. Purple and gold reigned.⠀

It has been a decade since the Los Angeles Lakers won their last championship, but their fans haven’t forgotten how to party.⠀
⠀
Thousands spilled into the streets near Staples Center on Sunday night, and the festivities began shortly after the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 106-93 and captured their first NBA title since 2010 and 17th overall.⠀
⠀
The pandemic couldn’t dampen the mood, with many of the revelers wearing masks, if not adhering to social distancing guidelines.⠀
