Jimmy Eats World and Manchester Orchestra at the Greek

Jimmy Eats World and Manchester Orchestra at the Greek: Alt-emo-pop-rock masters Jimmy Eat World commercially peaked with the 2001 album Bleed American, and super-catchy singles such as “The Middle” and “Sweetness.” But the albums that came before and after have been brilliant if less instant, right up to 2019’s Surviving. A bill with Atlanta alt heroes Manchester Orchestra is a superb idea.We spoke to Jimmy Eat World in December, just prior to their Almost Acoustic Christmas appearance.   Frontman Jim Adkins told us that, “We’re always working on material. I don’t know exactly what form it will look like when we choose to release that material. I don’t know.

Working from home could wipe $800 billion from office values globally

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:23:51 GMT

London  — Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities worldwide by 2030 as the post-pandemic trend pushes up office vacancy rates and drives down rents, according to a new report.Office attendance has stabilized at 30% below pre-Covid norms and only 37% of workers are going into the office every day, McKinsey Global Institute said in a report Thursday.The research adds to a string of recent signs that lasting changes to working habits because of the pandemic are hurting the value of commercial real estate — a market also under strain from rising interest rates. Last month, HSBC (HBCYF) announced plans to halve the size of its global headquarters, giving up its imposing tower in London’s Canary Wharf business district for a much smaller building close to the city center.RELATED: Real estate report reveals Silicon Valley’s weakest office markets“Hybrid work is here to stay,” McKinsey said. “Urban real estate in superstar cities aroun...
