SEE IT: Confederate flag in East Village window enrages neighbors

Image
A rabble-rouser is raising the ire of East Village residents with a rebel flag. Angry neighbors tossed rocks and hurled insults Wednesday at the windows of an E. Eighth St. apartment where a pair of Confederate flags were draped, backlit by bright lights. Cops blocked off the area outside the building around 11 p.m. and were trying to talk to the tenant, according to Mike Schweinsberg, the ABCD block association president . “We don’t want a riot here,” Schweinsberg said. Dozens of neighbors crowded along lines of police tape to gawk at the banners. A video obtained by the Daily News shows a man lobbing rocks at the sixth-floor windows of the building, on the corner of Avenue D, earlier in the day. The NYPD said no arrests were made at the address. The Confederate flags, joined by Israeli and American flags, have been hanging in the windows for more than a year, but recent violence in Virginia has brought new meaning to the symbols, neighbors said

Former Victoria soup kitchen client gives back by painting impressive mural

Image
WATCH: A Victoria man painting a mural of ‘The Last Supper’ at the 9- 10 Club Soup Kitchen used to be one of its clients. April Lawrence has his story. One brush stroke at a time, Bob Sellmer is transforming the empty walls of a downtown Victoria soup kitchen . Sellmer has hand-drawn every intricate line in the recreation of Leonardo da Vinci 's The Last Supper . Now a self-taught artist being paid for his incredible talent, it wasn't long ago Sellmer was sitting in one of the 9-10 Club's seats himself, in need of a hot meal. "Lost my apartment and everything like that, it's like they say, we're all just a couple paychecks away," said Sellmer. Sellmer was hit by a bus while riding his bike in 2007. He was working as a house painter at the time. "Everything was mangled pretty bad , bad ligament damage , so that put me off the painting game," he said. He ended up on welfare and was living in hostels after being kicked out of his apartment. Afte

1-Year-Old Child Dies After Tulsa Apartment Fire - News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK

TULSA, Oklahoma - An early morning fire at the Sand Dollar Apartments in Tulsa killed a 1-year-old child and left a 7-year-old in critical condition. We're working to learn more about the baby. Tulsa Police say they're not investigating the fire because it wasn't a criminal act.  The call came in around 2:15 Friday morning at the Sand Dollar Apartments near 61st and Riverside. Crews arrived to find the fire burning at the south end of the complex. Firefighters said they had to pull five people out including three children. Don Pearce said he made it out by himself. "I was sleeping in the reclining, just trying to go to sleep, when the next thing I know, someone's banging on the door talking about a fire," said Don Pearce. All six victims were taken to Tulsa hospitals where three were first said to be in serious condition.

Rents would top out at $1,450, said Taylor Franklin, vice president of multi family development for S.L. Nusbaum Realty . It would be a gated community, Franklin said.

towson apartments - Towson Forum

3. Re: towson apartments As an attorney who only represents tenants, I don't know of any landlord that isn't difficult to work with when there is a problem. Private landlords tend to either go overboard to make sure stuff is ok or are worse than a professionally run management company . Also, you have to figure that only people with a grudge write stuff . The many more satisfied customers never leave a note. Best suggestion is to interview the private owners, get the names of former tenants and ask questions, look at each place critically, understand that it will be a dorm for all intents and purposes and make your most informed decision. I would not rent sight unseen . He should make a trip to view the various units in person before signing any lease. Good luck

Revised plans for Lake Highlands’ Toscana apartment project

defunct Toscana apartments still stand at 6800 Skillman, but a new project is in the works." src="http://lakehighlands.advocatemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-29-at-1.28.15-PM.png" width="638" height="267" />The defunct Toscana apartments still stand at 6800 Skillman, but a new project is in the works. By all appearances, Prescott’s proposed changes for the Toscana project will be good for the neighborhood. The former Toscana apartment complex , located on the northeast corner of Skillman and Merriman Parkway, will soon be demolished to make way for a new residential multifamily development , which, according to Dallas Department of Development documents, will comprise three stories and 365 units. We already knew that the old Toscana apartments would be replaced with new ones — but originally the new build was going to include four stories and 665 units, which is way denser than what we are looking at now.

Aurora SWAT takes man into custody after five-hour standoff

An early Sunday morning standoff ended with an Aurora police SWAT team arresting a shotgun-wielding man, who had an outstanding arrest warrant for attempted homicide. Aurora police said the man is Adeeb Mohammed. At around 2 a.m., Aurora police received a report of a man with a gun at the Silverbrook Apartments, at 15453 E. First Ave., police said. A resident who heard a fight in the parking lot told police that he saw a man with a gun when he looked out the window. When officers arrived at the scene, a man told them that the suspect had pointed a shotgun at him and also hit him with the gun. The man told police that the suspect ran into one of the complex’s buildings and took shelter in apartment 302. When officers learned the identity of the suspect, they discovered there was a warrant for his arrest for attempted homicide, police said. Officers set up containment around the apartment and evacuated surrounding apartments as a precaution. There were unsuccessful attempts to co

100+ protesters fight to preserve Chinese Cultural Center in Pho - 3TV

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - The future of the Chinese Cultural Center located near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is up in the air and people wanted to show their support for the historical spot in the Valley. More than 100 people protested outside of the center on Sunday in order to help save the center. "It's a religious center , it's a cultural center and it's the last cultural center of the whole Valley," said Paul Gilbert, the attorney of those who want to preserve the center. A developer bought the area near 44th Street and Van Buren Street and there are fears that the center, especially the gardens there, might be torn down. However, it's unclear what the owner will do with the center. "We have been trying to meet with the new owner and we don't know what the new owner tends to with it," Gilbert said. He added that he has a meeting with the owner next week and hopes to get more information at that time. A Chinese architect helped build the ce

Sorel Men's Falcon Ridge Slipper

Perhaps the biggest detractor of wearing a house slipper around the apartment is that inevitably you hit the kitchen tiles and then it’s like one of those Tom & Jerry cartoons when the cat stumbles on a spillage of marbles and rolls face-first through a wall. Thankfully, the Sorel Men’s Falcon Ridge Slipper works to correct that by delivering a rubber sole for maximum traction. On the inside, it gets even better with a removable EVA footbed that’ll make you feel like you’re walking on clouds and a sturdy acrylic- wool blend lining , all inside a rich suede body that exudes class. Swanky smoking jacket and pipe not required, but you may want to look in to that. Available in three different colors and half-sizes 7 and 7.5 with whole sizes running from 8 to 15.

Huge crowds march through San Francisco as right-wing protesters lie low

SAN FRANCISCO — A forum Thursday on the Bay Area’s egregious housing situation — the high prices, the scarcity of new construction — brought together academics, developers, real estate agents , government officials and housing advocates, all in the name of seeking creative solutions to the crisis. It was both a cry for help and a call to action. “They have their crazies. We need our crazies,” said panelist Laura Foote Clarke , executive director of YIMBY Action, which advocates for housing growth. Yes, that’s YIMBY, as in “Yes In My Backyard,” and the “they” she referred to was the other side — the many and often well-organized “Not In My Backyard” NIMBY opponents of housing development and densification in neighborhoods around the region.

Tragedy strikes van crossing river Published on: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 Kota Kinabalu: An Indonesian woman became the first casualty of the current inclement weather when the van she was travelling in with nine Japanese tourists was swept away by strong currents while crossing the Sungai Kg Lingan Lama in Kabang, Papar, Sunday night. The 34-year-old sustained serious injuries when she was pinned under the van in the 8.23pm incident and was pronounced dead at 11pm at the Papar Hospital, according to APM ( Civil Defence Force ). A team from the Civil Defence Force was deployed to the scene after being alerted by Papar for assistance in helping the trapped victims out of the vehicle. It took the team about one hour and 20 minutes to arrive at the scene which was by then only accessible to heavy vehicles due to rain which caused the route to be submerged. It was believed that the woman was working for a non-governmental organisation and was returning home with the Japanese
