Restored Westman hotel in Oregon set for late 2025 opening
The Westman, a boutique hotel in Oregon, US, is set to open its doors later this year following a restoration. Situated in Bend, the hotel will offer 23 uniquely designed guest rooms and community-focused common areas, housed within the city's former United States Post Office. The hotel has now started accepting reservations ahead of its opening. The project is a collaboration between Oregon-based Embarcadero Hospitality Group, R&H Construction, Emerick Architects, LRS, and local artists and makers. The development team has prioritised sustainability and historic preservation, retaining much of the original structure, encompassing over 175,000 bricks, 1,000 tonnes of concrete, 1,900ft² of terrazzo flooring, and 44 original windows, to minimise the environmental impact. The Westman will feature a lobby bar and parlour featuring a brass Art Deco-inspired fireplace, in-room mini bars with locally sourced items and an outdoor heated soaking pool. Several rooms offer 16ft ceilings, private outdoor patios with fire pits, and 700ft² mezzanine suites. Embarcadero Hospitality Group CEO Sondra Storm said: "The Westman is driven by the same bold spirit as our namesake – we're unafraid to do things differently and committed to excellence. Our team delivers standout service and works closely with local partners to create immersive, experience-rich stays that reflect the vibrancy of Bend and the region. "At The Westman, we deliver a high-touch, deeply personal level of service. Our strong local partnerships allow us to create experience-driven stays that feel both elevated and truly connected to Bend." The property is named after Minnie Westman, a mail carrier west of the Mississippi River, known as someone who "carries the mail night and day and fears nothing".

Workers Take Part in May Day Rally in Springfield
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Dozens of workers, students, and retirees took part in a May Day rally on Thursday. The event started with a march from the United States Post Office in Springfield to City Hall. The rally was put on by the Western MA area Labor Federation, Springfield No One Leaves, and Neighbor to Neighbor. More than 300 people took part in the march. At the rally, people showed up with signs, protesting their top concerns like education, housing costs, workers' rights, and other issues. Many protestors say they are feeling overwhelmed by the current administration's policies. 'I feel like the only way that we're going to overcome the present crisis is through unity and solidarity,' says Judy Lewis. 'The other day, an old torn-up flag rolled up and onto my lawn, and I almost started crying because that is the state of our democracy right now,' says a protester. Organizers say people in the community should expect more protests shortly. They say concerns are growing over President Trump's actions, and people want their voices to be heard.
