Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, Pick Apart
There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! Pick Apart Constructor: Jared Goudsmit Editor: Jared Goudsmit Jared: I'm so stoked to see this puzzle run! Constructing today's grid was an especially ambitious challenge for me because of those 15-letter bonus entries at 3- and 10-Down. One of my favorite aspects of USA Today puzzles is that grid designs don't have to follow rotational symmetry, giving constructors the flexibility to make more creative choices. I'd also like to give a shout-out to 33-Down, a resource I often use when hunting for fresh new clues! MARCH (9D: Hinamatsuri's month) Hinamatsuri is a Japanese holiday that is also known as Doll's Day or Girls' Day. It is celebrated each year on March 3 and celebrates the health and happiness of young girls and women. The observance of Hinamatsuri includes a display of dolls on a multitiered, red-carpeted platform. TARYN (27D: Body positivity activist Brumfitt) TARYN Brumfitt is a writer, speaker, filmmaker, and body positivity advocate. She is the founder of Body Image Movement, an organization that teaches people to love and appreciate their bodies. In 2023, TARYN Brumfitt was named Australian of the Year. COCA (30D: Mate de ___ (herbal tea)) Mate de COCA, also known as COCA tea, is an herbal drink made using the leaves of the COCA plant. The COCA plant contains alkaloids from which cocaine is derived. Although a cup of mate de COCA contains a low amount of the alkaloid, it is enough to cause a positive result on a drug test for cocaine. Mate de COCA is currently illegal in the United States unless it has been decocainized. KFC (1A: Raising Cane's competitor) Like its competitor KFC, Raising Cane is a restaurant specializing in chicken. Raising Cane's specific specialty is chicken fingers. The company was founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is named after the dog of one of the founders. RHEA (15A: Actress Seehorn) RHEA Seehorn played the role of attorney Kim Wexler on the TV Series, Better Call Saul (2015-2022), a spin-off of and prequel to Breaking Bad (2008-2013). ROMAN (42A: Like Augustus) Augustus (63 BCE-14 CE), also known as Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus was the founder of the ROMAN Empire. He was the first ROMAN emperor, serving from 27 BCE until his death. AYE (46A: Blackbeard's "Yes!") AYE, Blackbeard was the nickname of Edward Teach/Thatch (c 1680-1718), who was a pirate in the West Indies and off the eastern coast of North America. Blackbeard has been the inspiration for many fictional pirates. PICTURE BOOK (58A: "Boys Don't Fry" or "Pete's a Pizza") Boys Don't Fry is a PICTURE BOOK by Kimberly Lee, illustrated by Charlene Chua. It tells the story of a Malaysian boy who wants to help prepare the Lunar New Year feast. Pete's a Pizza is a PICTURE BOOK written and illustrated by William Stieg. It tells about a boy (named Pete, of course) whose father "turns him into a pizza" to help him overcome the disappointment of cancelled plans. I'm a fan of PICTURE BOOKs and I appreciate the use of specific examples in this clue. EAR (64A: Body part with a tragus) The tragus is part of the external EAR. It is a small pointed prominence that projects backward, helping to collect sounds from behind. If you put your finger on your cheek and let it travel back towards your ear, you will discover your tragus; the little part that sticks up slightly and is located above your earlobe. TESLA (66A: Inventor Nikola) Nikola TESLA (1856-1943) was an inventor and engineer known for his contributions to the design of modern electricity supply systems and alternating current. One of Nikola TESLA's inventions was the TESLA coil, an electrical resonant transformer circuit. TESLA invented the coil in 1891. Although they've been used in a variety of applications, today the main use of TESLA coils are for entertainment and educational purposes. Tesla coils can even be used to play music. KAPPA (1D: Letter after iota) KAPPA is making back-to-back crossword appearances, as we saw it yesterday clued as [Sorority's K]. EMU (11D: Liberty Mutual bird) The Liberty Mutual insurance company has used LiMu EMU as its mascot since 2019. ABC (29D: "The Golden Bachelorette" channel) The Golden Bachelorette is a dating reality TV series that premiered last year, joining ABC's offerings of dating reality shows. The Golden Bachelorette features a bachelorette and contestants who are older than those seen on its counterpart The Bachelorette. WIKIPEDIA (33D: Web resource with a "List of lists of lists" page) I'm always happy to see WIKIPEDIA highlighted, as it's a resource I, like Jared, am extremely grateful for. WIKIPEDIA's "List of lists of lists" page is a fun one to check out. As the name suggests, the page is a list of other WIKIPEDIA pages that contain lists of other lists. One could spend a lot of time digging into the links on this WIKIPEDIA page. (I don't have any personal experience of that, of course...) BDAY (38D: NYE, for Bebe Neuwirth) Bebe Neuwirth has won two Tony Awards for her work on Broadway and two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Lilith Sternin on the sitcom Cheers (1982-1993). And her birthday is on New Year's Eve. The abbreviation NYE in the clue alerts solvers that the answer will be BDAY. ORE (43D: Mined resource in the game Deep Rock Galactic) Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative video game released in 2020. The game is set on an alien planet, Hoxxes IV. There are a number of different OREs on the planet that are mineable resources. IKEA (56D: Seller of SKOGSTA tables) SKOGSTA tables sold by IKEA are made of acacia wood. IN A (59D: "Genie ___ Bottle" (Christina Aguilera hit)) Christine Aguilera's song, "Genie IN A Bottle" is from her self-titled debut studio album. "Genie IN A Bottle" was the biggest summer hit of 1999, spending five weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Some other clues I especially enjoyed: ALOE (13A: Succulent that kind of sounds like a greeting) WAITER (50A: "___, there's a fly in my soup!") TRUNK (22D: Part of a car or tree) HATE WATCH (35D: Enjoy some trash TV, perhaps) POPSICLE STICK (20A: Part of a frozen treat that may have a joke printed on it) PITCH BLACK (37A: Totally dark) PICTURE BOOK (58A: "Boys Don't Fry" or "Pete's a Pizza") PICK APART: The word PICK is split APART and found at the ends of each theme answer: POPSICLE STICK, PITCH BLACK, and PICTURE BOOK. The theme answers here represent each possible split of the word PICK: P/ICK, PI/CK, and PIC/K. I'm glad that Jared persevered and came up with a grid that included the grid-spanning Down answers CORPORATE LADDER (3D: Something an office worker may climb) and SMOKE AND MIRRORS (10D: Magician's trickery), as those two answers are quite nice. Thank you, Jared, for this excellent puzzle.

Building demolition underway for new Midtown Nashville Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers spot
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers draws some devoted fans. Among them are stars, including Post Malone, who collaborated with the fast food chicken chain to open a custom-designed pink Raising Cane's in Midvale, Utah. Plenty are regular people, such as Suzette Hughes of Millington, Tenn., who camped out for 14 hours to be the first customer at a new Memphis location. And soon, Nashville's newest location, which will be at 1819 Broadway in Midtown, will earn plenty of attention from downtown workers and students at nearby Vanderbilt University. Nashville's newest Raising Cane's will be at 1819 Broadway in Midtown in a parcel next to Red Door Saloon. The building, actively under demolition on June 10, was previously home to Crye-Leike Realtors. Once complete, Raising Cane's new build will encompass nearly 6,000 square feet. City permits indicate the new spot will have walk-up and indoor service with space for outside dining. There is no word yet on what kind of decorative flair Nashville's newest Raising Cane's will have, if any. Though all of the stores have murals, nodding to the design of the first Raising Cane's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, some are flashier in design than others. For example, Tennessee's flagship location, which opened on Lower Broadway a year ago, boasts a five-foot-six-inch tall statue of the yellow labrador that serves as the restaurant's namesake and two locally built guitars custom-made for Johnny and June Cash. But, as with the nearly 900 locations throughout the country, this store will boast chicken fingers — and lots of them — served with Texas toast, French fries and on a toasted bun.

What stores, restaurants are open for Memorial Day 2025?
(NEXSTAR) — The unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day, is upon us, potentially lining you up for a three-day weekend of parades, fireworks, cookouts, and more. Should you need some sunscreen, a forgotten lunch menu item, or a snack for the road, many stores and restaurants will be open. Others, however, will also be enjoying a day off. Banks and post offices will, as usual, be closed for Memorial Day, which falls on May 26 this year. Warehouse retailer Costco and chicken fast food chain Raising Cane's are closing their doors for the holiday as well. Some businesses are staying open but with shortened hours that may vary by location. That includes ALDI, Sam's Club, PetSmart, and REI. Below is a list of stores that will be operating with regular hours on Memorial Day. It's worth noting, though, that some services — like pharmacies, eye care centers, automotive centers, and photo centers — may not be available, or operate under shortened hours. It's best to call ahead or check a business's app or website to confirm your local hours. Like the retailers listed above, most fast-food restaurants will be open for the holiday. They may have different hours than usual, so it's best to confirm whether your location is open before visiting. Most gas station and convenience stores will also be open for the holiday. Restaurants located within office buildings, malls, or stores that are closed for Memorial Day will, most likely, also be closed. And, because many are locally owned, there may be some locations that have shortened hours or don't open at all on Memorial Day. In addition to no mail, you may not receive any packages on Memorial Day, either. UPS, Amazon, and FedEx observe the holiday, meaning you likely won't receive any packages (though some specific services may still be available). The next major holiday that could alter business hours is Independence Day on July 4.
