Most weeks, we’ll pose a question or a poll, an image or a graphic, to which we’d like your answers or opinions. We’ll post a link to the question or poll on Twitter, too, so you can choose to post your response either here (on Substack) or there (on Twitter).

This week, #TheLoopWantsToKnow:

Q: In October 1948, the world clocks at Emery Bird Thayer department store were reinstalled after the elevators were replaced. London, Rome, San Francisco, New York, and Tokyo. Why did one city receive special attention in the Star afterward?

Comment below, or click the Twitter button to respond there.
