Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: the Smithsonian names the Ghostbusters New York City firehouse (Hook and Ladder 8) among 250 places to visit as America approaches its 250th anniversary, with the full list at smithsonianmag.com; German scientists develop a fish gill-inspired wastewater filter that removes up to 99% of microplastics by rolling particles along a cone-shaped mesh into a separate chamber; a Ryanair passenger buys all 68 onboard scratch-card packets and wins nothing, amid reports that jackpot winners enter a separate envelope draw with long odds; an Oxfordshire cash-only “five penny” Swinford toll bridge, founded by an act of parliament in the 1700s, earns about £500 a day and polarizes reviewers; and Oklahoma City police share footage of a dog stealing a porch package, which is recovered.
