For the cover of the October 13, 2025, issue, the artist Brian Stauffer chose to see the beauty in what many consider a noisy nuisance. “One of the things I love about the city is the endless stream of ephemeral and serendipitous moments,” Stauffer said. “I’m always grateful when I slow down long enough to notice them.”
