ERIE, Pa. - This is the first look at what could be Erie's newest apartment complex , built here between W. 2nd & 3rd Streets between Cherry and Poplar Streets, called Bayview Heights . "Erie is a great market, it really is," said Ryan Landi, vice president of development at Testa Companies, the Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio-based firm looking to build on the site. "It has a lot of pent up demand." West- bayfront residents sounded off in a meeting with developers Thursday night . Some were concerned the 71-unit, three-story complex will block their view of the bayfront. Neighborhood organizer Anna Frantz is seeing mixed reactions from local residents. "A little bit of both, trepidation on one side, but also optimism about the project," said Frantz, executive director of Our West Bayfront. Forty-five apartments on the first two floors would be designated for senior living. Rent for those apartments will run around $600 a month, Landi estimated. The remain...

‘I am fairly certain that it’s all going to end up in a Dumpster somewhere, and that makes me sad.’ Some older readers were disappointed that their children did not care about their heirlooms. “I am 55 years old. My … son is 31. I’ve had ‘the talk’ with my son and he’s making it both easier for me and more difficult. He wants nothing. I am fairly certain that it’s all going to end up in a Dumpster somewhere, and that makes me sad. Yet, I also don’t want to burden him with a bunch of unwanted (from his perspective) junk. This is an emotionally fraught issue and I don’t there are no easy answers.” — Trixie Spishak in Mountain Home, Arkansas “My generation used to scrimp and resourcefully use everything. My 20-something children prefer to have kits from Ikea rather than castoffs I put aside.” — Nancy Garcia in California ‘Now we’re supposed to buy houses we can’t afford just to store your stuff?’ Many younger readers countered that they live in smaller spaces far longer than their paren...

Malik paused. “Did it ever occur to you that people from my neighborhood are scared about rollin’ up on your neighborhood?” “Whatever,” Jim replied. “When’s the last time someone has had their head bashed in by some thugs in Stone Brook? When’s the last time someone had their car stolen at gunpoint when they were filling up their tank?” “Robbery and thugs ain’t the only things to fear. There are other things people like me gotta worry about. Stuff you wouldn’t understand.” Most people enter discussions of racial injustice like they’re entering a gun fight: heavily armed. Their weapons are statistics, experience, and a bevy of opinions and solutions. A new novel titled  Meals from Mars: A Parable of Prejudice and Providence  helps to de-escalate the conflict. Written by educator Ben Sciacca , this book will benefit not only his high school students in Fairfield, Alabama, but also suburbanites and those in between. Meals from Mars  opens with guns drawn on the two protagonists, Jim and...

For a family, the quarters were cramped: 900 square feet, with a closet-size kitchen and a bathroom down the hall. For an artist, which Ms. Sherman considered herself to be, Studio 1208, was near-ideal. It was flooded with light from skylights and floor-to- ceiling windows facing north toward Central Park. And it was surrounded by stimulating, photogenic neighbors. The whole complex, with its rehearsal rooms, ballet and drama studios and work-live cells, was a hive of talent. Marlon Brando, Norman Mailer and Marilyn Monroe had been, or would be, in temporary residence; musical traffic came and went in Carnegie Hall downstairs ; Manhattan was just outside the door.
