Farewell, Orange Julius, You Sweet 42-Year-Old Summer Child
Slayton was working six days a week when he was diagnosed with cancer in February. He began working at Lloyd Center in 1961 while still in high school. After a career as a professional barrel jumper, in 1983 he converted the mall's Bob's Hol'n One into an Orange Julius. At one time, Slayton had three Orange Julius locations including the Clackamas Town Center and Vancouver Mall.
Moises Sotelo-Casas, the owner of pruning and landscaping business Novo Start Vineyard Service in Newberg, has been detained by a much-emboldened ICE immigration enforcement. Bridgetown Bites reports Sotelo-Casas arrived in the U.S. in the mid-1990s and was working to gain his U.S. citizenship with the help of a former employer. The local wine industry is calling out the federal government for detaining a beloved member of the Willamette Valley wine community. Sotelo-Casas's family has established a GoFundMe to assist with costs in freeing him (immigration attorneys, bond fees, translation fees, and more), provide stability for his business, and to help his family secure alternative housing.
For those in the know, Euzumeh and L'Echelle teaming up is no small thing. The former is Jordanian American chef Tamara Hattar's pop-up, riddled with Levantine flavors and standout dishes including cumin-and-cardamom-seasoned chicken wings served with yogurt sauce and zhoug. The latter is the Division Street newcomer that opened in late May, a final effort from the late Naomi Pomeroy and co-owner Luke Dirks. Hattar will take over L'Echelle throughout the summer. The debut service takes place from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 28.
Hunnymilk Brunch, a favorite for powerful portions of fried chicken and McGriddle dupes, is leaving West Burnside. In an email, owner Brandon Weeks says the final day of service at the current location is Sunday, June 29. For now, Hunnymilk will head back to its roots: as a pop-up inside La Buca restaurant at 40 NE 28th Avenue. The first day of service there will be Friday, July 4 with the same service schedule as now. See More:

The Friday Night Latin District brings culture and community back to downtown L.A.
Ever since targeted raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement swept downtown L.A. in June — which were followed by protests and subsequent arrests — foot traffic in the area has greatly reduced, and local businesses have struggled to keep up the same momentum as before. As a result, downtown L.A. event coordinators banded together to revive the area's nightlife with the Friday Night Latin District: a coalition of Latino-owned bars dedicated to hosting weekly cultural celebrations. Comprising bars like Las Perlas, La Cita, the Association and A Toda Madre, the Friday Night Latin District is a corridor that offers a 'safe, reliable and culture-rich' experience for locals to kick off their weekend. 'Our goal is not to just bring all the big bars together,' said Kenny Castro-Andrade, founder of the nightlife collective Calle Ocho. 'We wanna work on a cycle of introducing a big venue that's already at capacity and then a smaller venue to redirect those people so that they can learn about a new venue they didn't know about,' he added. When Castro-Andrade moved to L.A. from Miami in 2020, he noticed the nightlife in downtown L.A. did not reflect the 48% Hispanic population that makes up the county (according to the 2023 Census). Inspired by the Wynwood district in Miami, he created Calle Ocho with friends Vlademir Onofre and George Trevino in November 2024 as a way of integrating young Latinos into the downtown L.A. scene. In June, Calle Ocho held one of its first events at the Association on 6th Street. Patrons were evacuated from the building because of smoke filtering in through the shared ventilation from the building next door — but instead of sending everyone home, they encouraged them to take the party to Las Perlas. With this rapid act of problem-solving, and in the face of a bad situation, the Friday Night Latin District was born. Castro-Andrade aspires to bring the rhythm back by growing the Latin District and involving more venues. Without the people who make up the heart of L.A., from patrons to bartenders and other service industry workers, the nightlife of the city could cease to exist. 'Friday Night Latin District gives Angelenos a chance to rediscover downtown in a new light, while also giving local and small businesses the support they need during a time of need,' Castro-Andrade said.

Questions Linger For 2026 INDYCAR Schedule: Which Tracks Should Be Added?
As NASCAR has made some announcements about its schedule over the last several weeks, the INDYCAR paddock is awaiting word on several races for next year. Should INDYCAR return to Iowa Speedway after a sparsely attended doubleheader weekend? Will INDYCAR go to Mexico City? Those questions remain top of mind for 2026, a year for which one new event — the Grand Prix of Arlington in March — has already been announced. New events often generate buzz and excitement. The race around the Cowboys and Rangers stadiums should be a sight to see. Mexico City would be a second new race for 2026 and also an incredible sight. A Mexico race has been a major priority with the popularity of Pato O'Ward, who is optimistic about having a race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. But going to Mexico City is more than just about O'Ward. It would be the lone place where INDYCAR would race on the same circuit as Formula 1, giving fans an idea of the similarities and the differences between the two series. One of the world's biggest cities, Mexico City would provide the exposure INDYCAR needs to help the brands of the sport's biggest names beyond O'Ward. As far as Iowa, it is a NASCAR-owned track that has been rented out by INDYCAR to host events. In other words, the track owner doesn't pay a sanction fee and then makes money by selling tickets. Instead, INDYCAR has handled the ticket sales to cover its costs of renting the track. Sponsorship revenue can also cover those costs, and after Hy-Vee ended its sponsorship of the Iowa doubleheader, that obviously impacted the weekend with no big concerts and in-market activations. It would be nice to see how Iowa could do with a single-race weekend (rather than a doubleheader). With it being so close to one of sprint-car racing's most iconic tracks (Knoxville Raceway), it only seems right that the fastest open-wheel cars race nearby. But that might be more of a desire of the heart than a sound business decision. INDYCAR needs to have ovals, and preferably a variety of them, so if Iowa is dropped, where would INDYCAR go next? Could that be Homestead? Could that be Richmond? Could that be Phoenix? All of those are owned by NASCAR and they have had INDYCAR races in their track history. Richmond would fill in a much-needed hole in the schedule, which currently doesn't have a race in the mid-Atlantic or the Northeast. A return to Pocono, where INDYCAR has seen its share of injuries and loss, is unlikely. Watkins Glen (another NASCAR-owned track) doesn't seem to be in the conversation. Thermal won't be on the 2026 race schedule. Having races at the private club near Palm Springs was intriguing, but the race lacked that big-event vibe. It makes for a great potential testing facility but not necessarily a great location for a race. INDYCAR is at its best as the anchor for a big event where people want to come and hang with friends and see fast cars. And then also the place where die-hard fans can come see and root for their favorite drivers (or against the ones they dislike most). So it needs diverse places. It needs diverse facilities. Hopefully the 2026 schedule has all of that. Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

Likely Rays sale stirs stadium shuffle in Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Rays have not yet been sold, nor have they announced relocation — but the potential alone has kicked off a stadium shuffle, and local officials are bracing for a fight. Why it matters: If the team moves across the Bay, as speculated, Hillsborough County will face competing stadium demands, fragile political alliances, and a significant financial burden at a time when it is cutting back on spending. Catch up quick: The Athletic reported this month that Stuart Sternberg has agreed to sell the Rays to Jacksonville developer Patrick Zalupski for $1.7 billion. Zalupski appears interested in moving the team to Tampa or elsewhere in Hillsborough, per The Athletic and the Tampa Bay Times. The latest: Local officials are eyeing Ybor Harbor, a forthcoming mixed-use development by Ybor City developer Darryl Shaw, as the ideal site for a new ballpark. A spokesperson for Shaw declined to comment. Republican Commissioner Ken Hagan — a Tampa Sports Authority board member — is spearheading discussions with members of Zalupski's group and Shaw, the Times reported. (Hagan did not return Axios' request for comment.) Fellow Republican Commissioner Christine Miller voiced confidence in Hagan but emphasized to Axios that any stadium deal must be "fiscally responsible" and involve an "open process." Democratic Commissioner Harry Cohen welcomed the idea, calling it a "positive development" and saying he looks forward to hearing from the new owners. Friction point: Republican Commissioner Joshua Wostal, who once invited the state DOGE to audit Hillsborough County's spending, is "100% opposed." "I imagine the public will be standing with me, outraged if we subsidize the wealthy ahead of their immediate needs," Wostal told Axios. Between the lines: Republicans on the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners have only recently begun operating as a cohesive bloc, a shift that commissioners attributed to DOGE in statements to Axios. Their shared goal of reining in spending has allowed them to pass once-fringe measures that had failed for years, including eliminating the county's affordable housing trust fund. But the potential sale of the Rays, along with Zalupski's reported interest in relocating the team to Hillsborough, threatens to divide that coalition. Zoom out: Even without the Rays, Hillsborough has its hands full. Raymond James Stadium needs repairs. The Tampa Bay Sun, fresh off a championship season, is looking for a permanent home, with Ybor Harbor also that team's top choice. An indoor sports arena on land surrounding the Museum of Science and Industry is already in the works, partially funded by $2 million in BP Oil Spill settlement money. The University of South Florida is also building an on-campus football stadium, which will increase demand on county and city services, though public funds will not be directly used for construction. Another piece of the puzzle is the Tampa Bay Rowdies, the Rays-owned soccer team that plays at St. Pete's Al Lang Stadium. City leaders want to upgrade the stadium to make it more usable year-round. Citing "a source close to the deal," the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported that the soccer team will be sold with the baseball team. Tampa City Council Member Alan Clendenin told Axios that should that happen, he anticipates the Rowdies will also move across the Bay. A spokesperson for the Rowdies declined to comment. What they're saying: "Any politician that says they're not willing to do anything for the Rays doesn't deserve to be in office," said Clendenin, who is also a Tampa Sports Authority board member.
