This U.S. City Was Just Named the Most Walkable—and You Can See Its Top Sites in 30 Minutes
There's nothing worse than visiting a new city and feeling like you didn't really get to see much of it. It can be easy to miss things when you're zipping from one travel recommendation to the next. That's probably one reason why 'walking vacations' are getting more popular: Google search data shows there's been a 29 percent increase in search for the term this year. And really, what's not to love? You're seeing a ton, getting some exercise in, and saving money on taxis. Now, new study revealed that there is one city that's a cut above the rest, making it perfect for casual strollers and step-count obsessives alike. The analysis from FitFlops named Seattle the most walkable city. The report used a matrix that analyzed the distance, walking time, elevation gain, and step count between the top five attractions in 30 U.S. cities. Using that information and factoring in the city's Walk Score, FitFlop created an index. In that index, Seattle was named as the most walkable. 'Visitors can wander between the ethereal glass sculptures at Chihuly Garden and Glass, ascend the iconic Space Needle, and explore the lively stalls of Pike Place Market—all within a 1.4-mile radius,' the study states. 'A short stroll leads to the Museum of Pop Culture, a Frank Gehry-designed marvel celebrating music, sci-fi, and pop culture. Cap it off with a scenic jaunt to the Washington State Ferries terminal for a breezy ride across Puget Sound.' In just 32 minutes, you can see all five top attractions and get about 3,360 steps in while you're at it. The Pacific Northwest city has been growing in popularity as a destination in recent years, with great access to outdoor adventure, a fantastic Chinatown, and experiences like sailing around in a hot tub boat. To really get the best of what Seattle has to offer, you will have to travel outside of the 1.4-mile radius. But in that area there's even more to do than the activities above. There's the Museum of History & Industry, several great parks, a model boat pond, and so much more. Plus when you get hungry, you can head to the very popular Queen Anne Beerhall to catch a basketball game and enjoy a smashburger, or pop in for some ceviche at Sal Y Limón. And don't worry, once you are ready to finally lay day after a long day of being out and about Travel + Leisure has the inside scoop on the best hotels in Seattle too.

Dean Cain Calls James Gunn's Ma and Pa Kent "Stupid Rednecks" in SUPERMAN — GeekTyrant
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star Dean Cain is sharing his thoughts on Superman , and while he had a few nice things to say, he definitely didn't hold back on what rubbed him the wrong way about James Gunn's take on the iconic characters. The actor, who played Clark Kent in the beloved '90s series, recently sat down with Variety and offered up a mixed bag of opinions about the new film. Surprisingly, he started on a positive note, saying, 'Seeing Krypto in the trailer gave me goose bumps. He saves a squirrel. He saves a little girl. I respect that.' That moment clearly struck a chord with Cain, even if the rest of the movie didn't land the same way for him. Cain didn't confirm whether he's actually seen Superman , but he didn't mince words when it came to one creative decision in particular. 'James Gunn and his decision to make Ma and Pa Kent the stupid rednecks. That's a choice,' Cain said. 'And Superman has to be saved, like, repeatedly? On a movie this size, every decision is a choice made carefully. And [DC Studios co-head] Peter Safran is a Princeton guy, too, a year ahead of me, but he's never hired me.' Now, calling the Kents 'stupid rednecks' definitely isn't cool, especially since many fans like myself embraced the down-to-earth, heartwarming portrayal of Jonathan and Martha Kent in the film. These weren't caricatures; they were loving, honest people doing their best to raise a son with godlike powers. So for Cain to label them that is mean-spirited and way out of touch. Cain went on to reflect on the impact playing Superman had on his life. 'My buddy turns to me and goes, 'Man, for the rest of your life, people are going to call you Superman.' I couldn't fathom that being the case at the time, but it changed my life insanely.' He also recalled some of the backlash he faced back in 1993 for taking on the role. 'I remember a fan going, 'We wanted Superman, not Sushi Man,'' Cain said, referencing his Japanese American heritage. 'For the love of God, he's a Kryptonian. He could be green. Does it matter?' Despite the hate, he made it clear he's all for more diverse casting, even throwing out Michael B. Jordan as a future Superman, saying he 'has all the qualities of Superman — that humility, that kindness, that openness, that earnestness.' Even if Cain's critiques feel a little off-base, it's interesting to see how former Supermen are reacting to the new era of the character. For better or worse, Superman is sparking big conversations, and that's always a sign that something's working.

How to make a superhero movie that actually stands out
Superman's Fortress of Solitude evokes big emotions for Beth Mickle. 'Literally, I cry every single time that fortress emerges from the snow,' the production designer tells By Design. 'I cry every single time we go through the doors and we go inside.' As the production designer for James Gunn's new Superman movie, Mickle spent months leading a team in building the fortress from scratch, using all practical effects. Her team resin-casted 242 massive crystals, some measuring 40 feet long. Crews worked night and day, moving crystals from a production warehouse to the set. And that's just for one of the sets. On the newest episode of By Design, Mickle explains to hosts Liz Stinson and Mark Wilson why it was so important for her team to use practical effects and to make this take on Superman an optimistic one. She also discusses working with Gunn, and where she believes AI will factor into the future of film. At the beginning of the episode, Liz and Mark discuss the latest in design news, including: whether it's a vibeless summer, Meta's data center tent city, and a certain copycat in the New York City mayoral race. And at the end, the hosts debate their best and worst designs of the month (MAGA Coke, Sam Altman's sunglasses, Anne Hathaway . . .).
