BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Arcadia Ales announced last week it will close its downtown Battle Creek location after more than two decades there. The company hopes to open a new location somewhere in Battle Creek next year. Empty store fronts are a common sight in downtown Battle Creek . “I hate to see any business close up downtown because the more you have the more foot traffic you’re going to draw,” said Maryann Angelo, who owns Barista Blues Caf é in downtown Battle Creek . “You want diversity, we want all those buildings filled.” Angelo has been serving up hot food and coffee for 11 years in downtown Battle Creek . Despite Arcadia’s departure and dark windows on Michigan Avenue, Angelo doesn’t think the downtown business market has grown cold. “I see it going on the upswing, actually, as far as when I look at our business and what we’re doing,” she said. “I mean, we are definitely on the upswing.” Battle Creek Downtown Development and Small Business Director John Hart said ...

In the latest sign of a renaissance on the south end of downtown, a five-story building with a bank, street- level retail shops and 130 loft apartments is scheduled to open next week. The Pinnacle Bank Place is a five-story structure on Lancaster Avenue, between Jennings and Throckmorton streets. It is just west of the Fort Worth Water Gardens and north of Texas & Pacific Warehouse. Not all of the features in the blond-brick building will open at once. Many of the retail shops will open toward the end of the year, including a Novak Hair Studio , Stories Coffee Shop and Dentistry of Downtown Fort Worth , a city official said. But the bank itself is ready for customers. And lofts are about 70 percent leased, said Robert Sturns, economic development director with the city of Fort Worth. “The Pinnacle Bank Place is going to spur a lot of the activity we have been expecting in that area near the Water Gardens,” Sturns said. Joining forces In 2015, Pinnacle Bank and the city’s Loc...

click to enlarge Rob Donnelly Sporting a bandanna over a graying ponytail, Arthur Madeiros sat bare -chested on the northwest corner of Church and Main streets on August 16, holding a cardboard sign that read: "Homeless Anything helps." The 50-year-old Rutland man had arrived in Burlington a week earlier, just hours before a fight among three itinerant men turned violent in City Hall Park . Police said Conner Lucas was intoxicated when he stabbed two fellow homeless men — one in the hand, the other in the neck — on August 9. Within 24 hours, Madeiros had gotten a knife of his own, for protection. He has no plans to use it, he said, but, "Of course, I'm nervous." He's not alone. The stabbing incident was the second in the last five months involving homeless men in downtown Burlington . In March, Louis Fortier allegedly used a knife to kill 43-year-old Richard Medina on the corner of Church and Cherry streets — in broad daylight. In additi...

Have you noticed local Targets undergoing renovations recently ? The retailer is in the midst of redesigning a number of its existing stores, and if yours has yet to be refreshed, here's a look at what's on the horizon. Target recently revealed the makeover of their downtown Minneapolis location , and it's an example of their redesigned store concept , announced back in March. It's one of 45 remodels completed so far in 2017, with 65 more stores to be renovated through the fall. "By the end of 2019, more than one-third of our stores will be reimagined—part of our $7+ billion investment to become an even better, more modern Target," the company writes on their blog. Here's a look inside the Minneapolis store and what could be coming to a Target near you: (Image credit: Target) The grocery section was moved to the front of the store, "so time-strapped guests can quickly check off their grocery lists."

Waterford Lakes is a suburban, family-centric haven that’s probably best known for the Waterford Lakes Town Center , a formidable shopping center that spans both sides of State Road 434 , known locally as the Alafaya Trail. Proximity to the University of Central Florida and Florida State Road 408 are also prime motivators for those considering a move to this east Orlando community . Waterford Lakes is a neighborhood, not a city; homes here have an Orlando address . Waterford Lakes residents want for very little in the way of major shopping and dining — huge big-box merchants (Old Navy, Super Target, Best Buy, etc.) are prevalent, along with popular restaurant chains , a massive Regal theater , and smaller but equally well known retailers. Despite a preponderance of big names, independent shops and cafes do proliferate, though you’ll need to search them out. Most blend into the architecture, most of which is new and attractive, but largely strip-mall/shopping center-style. Near th...

Published: Thursday, August 24, 2017 @ 2:28 PM By: Kaitlin Schroeder - Staff Writer The first health and human services secretary under President Barack Obama stopped in Dayton Thursday as part of a larger campaign to support the Affordable Care Act as it remains under fire from President Donald Trump ’s administration. Former Secretary Kathleen Sebelius , a Cincinnati native, said part of the reason for the bus tour, dubbed “Save My Care,” is because the fight over whether to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is not over, despite the failed effort to pass a bill in July that would repeal parts of the ACA. “Part of it is to say this battle is a long way from being over because you still have a president and party leaders who say ‘We’re going to go right back and try to do this again when the Senate reconvenes,’” she said.

Take a walk east from the gold-plated cupola of San Francisco City Hall and the landscape transforms into the Tenderloin, a patchwork of residential hotels, small delis and social service clinics that cater to the poor. It winds into the city’s main tourist corridor , and, farther along, a glossy cluster of condominium towers where upper- story penthouses cost millions . These symbols of extreme poverty and prosperity are wedged together in District Six, which serves both as a portal for visitors and a cauldron where San Francisco ’s most pressing political issues simmer . For 20 years, District Six voters have reliably concluded that the solutions to those issues come from the progressive viewpoint. And while it’s more than a year until the next election for supervisor, the contest is already shaping up as a test of whether that is still true. From the Tenderloin to the Mission Bay waterfront , District Six has seen a rush of development over the past two decades, and residents are ...

In the final days of last summer, Drake and Rihanna made waves when they hunkered down for some R&R in what TMZ called “an oceanfront villa fit for honeymoonin’.” While that relationship didn’t last long (and Drake is now linked to Young Money label mate Nicki Minaj ), the press had a lasting effect on the other stunner in that story: the $ 29 million Malibu love nest where they stayed. “When news broke of Drake and Rihanna vacationing at one of my listings in Malibu, interest shot up,” said The Agency’s Angel Kou in an email, noting that the property rents for $5,000 per day. “People like to experience what A-listers experience, to get a glimpse of that glitz and glam.” beach front villa that Drake and Rihanna stayed in September 2016." src="http://mansion-global-app.s3.amazonaws.com/article-images/2017/08/image_l_031.jpg" /> An interior view of the beach front villa that Drake and Rihanna stayed in September 2016.

Aug 16, 2017 The first time Captain Noorullah Aminyar traveled to the United States, in 2012, he felt calm and peaceful in a way he never had before. Back home in Afghanistan, he had slept fully clothed , boots on, hand on his rifle. The Taliban attacked every night, and he had to be ready. "But when I come to America," he told me, "I have no stress in America. I sleep good. I tell you, I have no stress. It was really easy. It was a good thing. You feel safe. I was born in the war. I grew up in the war. Always, your life is in danger. You find a little safe time, for sure you'll be happy."
