Chichén Itzá reopens after dispute with vendors that led to 13-day closure

Chichén Itzá, Mexico's most visited archaeological site, reopened on June 1 after a 13-day closure triggered by a dispute over the relocation of more than 600 vendors and artisans to a new 16-hectare visitor facility called Catvi. The conflict involved the Indigenous Governing Council of Pisté Chichén Itzá (CIGPC), which filed a legal injunction and held protests, arguing insufficient community consultation and inadequate conditions at the new site. Authorities, including Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), defended the project as part of the controversial Maya Train infrastructure, claiming it would improve security and visitor services.

Underground Railroad stop in New York threatened by real-estate development

A hidden chute within the Merchant's House Museum in Manhattan, identified as a rare surviving stop on the Underground Railroad, is threatened by a planned real-estate development next door. The two-foot-square vertical passage, concealed behind a built-in dresser, was built in 1832 by abolitionists Joseph and Susanna Brewster to shelter Black fugitives escaping slavery. The museum's western wall, which contains the hideaway, adjoins a one-story garage slated for demolition to make way for a commercial building, prompting the museum team to oppose the development due to risk of structural damage.
