Cowbell Carts provide safe, fun transportation

Cowbell Carts , a micro- transportation business spearheaded by two Mississippi State University students , went live on Aug. 17. During their freshman year, James Moore and Cameron Maddox began working toward opening their own business to give students safe rides to and from the Cotton District. Moore and Maddox, who are both 19 years old and sophomores, operate two six-seat, low speed golf carts . The idea to open the business first sprung up when Moore was visiting another university. “I came up with the idea when I was in another college town—Tuscaloosa, actually—that has a completely similar system . They do the same thing there,” Moore said. “So, I really saw how it was valuable to the students and how they enjoyed the service, and I thought it would really work well here for Starkville.” When Moore, Cowbell Carts ’ Chief Operating Officer, went to the Entrepreneurship Center at MSU to present his idea, he was told he would need a team to help him. That’s when he called in Mad...

Laura … more » Business Response: Laura, thank you so much for taking a few seconds to give us a 5 star shout out. Harish Vijendran Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall. Very nice maintenance guys , who are very friendly as well. Good neighbors, even though I don't know them, never had any troub … le. Cons: Most apartments lack dual pane windows , so noise is on the higher side due to regular maintenance activities going on in other apartments, so if you are a person who works from home a lot, be ready. Rent increase was $230 for a one bed for 2017-2018 cycle. And there is easily a $100 on top of your rent advertised (monthly) Extra car parking is paid, but there is always someone who parks in your spot, in the internal community website , this is the top complaint. more » Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall.

A Memoir about Being a Black Gentrifier in Bed-Stuy

Occasionally , a local news story reduces the mess of New York City gentrification to its essential boorishness. Earlier this year, a Torontonian opened a “ boozy sandwich shop ,” according to the eatery’s Web site, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, a neighborhood built on a gentle slope. One might speculate that it was this topography that inspired Becca Brennan, a former attorney and the business’s owner, to name her new establishment Summerhill. One might also surmise that Brennan had reached a bogeyman’s conclusion about the recent demographics of Crown Heights. Last month, Gothamist reported that Brennan had issued a press release featuring a photo of a radioactive-looking cocktail against a dented green wall . “Yes, that bullet hole-ridden wall was originally there, and yes, we’re keeping it,” the release boasted. Brennan’s belief—that the previous renters, bodega proprietors, had operated a clandestine weapons ring in the back of the store—was quickly debunked on social media; on Su...

Why Was an Italian Graduate Student Tortured and Murdered in Egypt?

Regeni was undeterred. Proficient in five languages, he was insatiably curious and exuded a low-intensity charm that attracted a wide circle of friends. From 12 to 14, he served as youth mayor of his hometown, Fiumicello. He prided himself on his ability to navigate different cultures, and he relished Cairo ’s unruly street life : the smoky cafes, the endless hustle, the candy- colored party boats that plied the Nile at night. He registered as a visiting scholar at American University in Cairo and found a room in Dokki, a traffic-choked neighborhood between the Pyramids and the Nile, where he shared an apartment with two young professionals : Juliane Schoki, who taught German, and Mohamed El Sayad , a lawyer at one of Cairo’s oldest law firms . Dokki was an unfashionable address, but it was just two subway stops from downtown Cairo with its maze of cheap hotels, dive bars and crumbling apartment blocks encircling Tahrir Square . Regeni soon befriended writers and artists and practi...
