...restored church in Shoreditch; or Concrete Hermit, a gallery showcasing works by up-and-coming graphic designers; or Serbian fashion designer Dragana Perisic's quirky boutique near Spitalfields Market. Nor would I ever have found the mysteriously nameless plimsoll shop on Cheshire Street, identifiable only by its scruffy cardboard sign, where $10 still buys you a brand-new pair of shoes. Now that's a true urban...
...about to land in all 273 Whole Foods stores in the U.S. "This is the most innovative thing since the spice grinder," says Perry Abbenante, chief grocery buyer for Whole Foods. "This is the next cool thing." Spices such as cumin, ginger and curry powder will come in colorful cardboard cartons that hold four teaspoon-size packets...
...messengers were a spectacle themselves. They came to the tracks bare-chested and body-pierced. And while their race wasn't along crowded city streets, it was designed to resemble their daily jobs.

...have to go Down Under to see a kangaroo--just orbit Earth once or twice. A 105-ft.-long (32 m) white cardboard image of the beloved marsupial was photographed by satellites on May 20 as part of a multicountry project to study the albedo effect, the amount of sunlight that reflects off Earth's surface. Scientists are gathering data to raise awareness of how the whiteness of the polar ice caps, currently shrinking because of global warming, helps deflect heat from the sun and keep the planet cool...
