Investigators interviewed employees from both businesses and learned 39-year-old Sergey Fesik was responsible for installing the simulator in the vehicles. Surveillance was also obtained from the businesses a...

(AP) — A murder charge has been filed against a 34-year-old man who walked into the Portland police station to report there was a dead body inside an apartment in the Goose Hollow neighborhood . Sgt.

LOCKPORT: Foxwood Place Apartments now open | Local News

Affinity Foxwood Place Apartments are opening, thanks to some groups working together. A ribbon-cutting and open house ceremony was held Thursday in the new community office for the apartments on 6147 Ruhlmann Road. The entire project not only took a lot of people, but a lot of time, as well. “Standing here today, we have to look back three and a half years to when we started this process; it takes a long time,” said Affinity Property Management partner and CEO Jeff Birtch . “It’s a huge team that takes us to this point.” The project started in November 2006 and will be completed in full in March. Lauer-Manguso and Associates of Buffalo is the architectural firm in charge of the construction and the remodeling. Some of the buildings were renovated for handicap use. The Foxwood property includes the apartments, new parking lots and a playground. Kitchens, bathrooms, windows and flooring are all new, and there’s a new laundry center. It also offers rent with gas and electric utiliti...

How the New, Weird Suburbs Inspired EMA’s Noise Folk

Image
EMA: “I like long synth songs with a story about fucked-up suburban life.” Alicia Gordon Noise- folk artist EMA ’s new record, Exile in the Outer Ring , began life in 2015 in a white dome in MoMA P.S.1’s snow-covered courtyard. For four hours on a Sunday in February, she sculpted soundscapes from atop a platform set up like the blandest of living rooms: TV, palm plant, messy coffee table , Ikea lamp. She never addressed the crowd; she was in a bubble inside the bubble of the dome, her audience an intermediate layer that formed a ring around the stage. “I like the idea of multiple realities layered on top of each other,” she says. “And that space from the performance — this generic American apartment , with beige carpeting and a shitty couch, slit blinds, a ceiling fan — that’s where I wrote the record from.” EMA, whose full name is Erika M. Anderson, worked on Exile in her similarly bland apartment outside Portland, Oregon, where she’s lived since 2010. “I feel like that apartment,...

Crumbling sidewalks anger, endanger Atlantans

Shares 273 By Maggie Lee Up on Peachtree Road on a sticky July morning , the sign at the Darlington Apartments already read 87 degrees a little after 10:30. James Curtis was on the sidewalk about a block up, alongside northbound traffic , eyeballing a work crew off the side of the road up ahead. He pointed to a broken-up patch of sidewalk at his feet that had filled with sandy dirt. That could stop an electric wheelchair, said Curtis. lacks good sidewalks .

Credit: Maggie Lee On just a few blocks to the north of the Shepherd Center where he volunteers in several departments, Curtis pointed out a half-dozen other obstacles that make it hard or dangerous to get by for folks who use mobility aids. There are cracks that could catch a wheelchair’s small front wheel , tip it over, throw out its user. There’s broken pavement and commercial...

Nazis, IS, Antifa, the YPG, Democratic Landlords, the Spanish Civil War and Fake News

Image
There’s been a lot happening this month.  I don’t have any great plans of action as to the way forward, but I have some knowledge of the background, in terms of how we got here, that seem worth sharing.  Basically I just need to process, and thought I’d do that out loud.  So here are a few reflections on the events of August, 2017, that may be intimately related to one another. Note:  any links that appear below will take you to songs on the subject, mostly written in the past few weeks… *     *     * The Spanish Civil War has been discussed in the media more in the past few weeks than I can remember in my lifetime.  The media has said more nice things about anarchists in the past few weeks than ever in my lifetime as well, and I’m pretty sure they have covered protests more lately than at any time since 1970 or so. At the beginning of the month I wrote a song, “Rojava,” after getting encrypted messages from the front lines of the war against Islamic State in Syria, sent by an anarchi...

Denver Rent Prices So High Most Renters Want to Move

Image
A new study maintains that two-thirds of Denver renters plan to move to another city, a figure higher than the national average, with most listing high rent costs in the Mile High City  as the main reason. At the same time, however, so many people from other places want to move here that the actual number of renters in Denver is likely to remain steady in the near future and could actually rise. These are among the findings in a provocative report from Apartment List. As laid out in the following Q&A with analyst Sydney Bennet , who was heavily involved in the project, renting Denverites have a variety of reasons for wanting to relocate. But the number of those who are considering such a move because of long commute times or concerns about safety, for instance, pale in comparison to folks who simply are having a hard time stretching their dollars far enough to keep a decent roof over their head. As the study notes, the 67 percent of Denver renters who are looking at other lan...
