Simplicity in Sorrento - Review of Sorrento Apartments, Sorrento

We stayed here for 5 nights and had a fantastic time. The apartments are spotlessly clean and beautifully laid out with modern, yet relaxing, decoration. They are located right in the centre of the quiet old town which is mostly pedestrian and no cars allowed. The bed was really comfortable and it was so nice to sit on the big balcony for breakfast. The kitchen was well equipped with a fantastic induction hob , coffee percolator, kettle, toaster and pots, pans and cutlery. There is a separate entrance and a modern lift to all floors. The bathroom was spacious and we'll appointed with a full bath which was wonderful after a day at Pompeii. The staff are all very friendly and the general manager extremely helpful (and charming). There is a bar/restaurant downstairs which serves breakfast or there are numerous other cafes and trattoria close by. We bought Nutella or cream filled croissants for breakfast but never cooked as the food choices were too good to miss. It is a 5 minute wa...

The Cheshire church conversion for the 21st century | Home

“Hands off the organ” is not a sign you find in every show apartment, but then again, there’s nothing conventional about this Cheshire address. This is a church conversion for the 21st century, and it is fair to say this building sings from an altogether different hymn sheet. The sandstone detailing and spire make the former United Reform church , erected in 1872, imposing enough, backed up as it is with polychromatic brickwork, featuring the creamy yellow Bowden buff brick , and stained- glass windows emblazoned with the values of faith, hope, charity, justice, temperance and fortitude. Behind the huge front door , however, the nave is dominated by a series of “pods”, towering stand-alone structures panelled in dark smoked oak , like the ceiling. And this is just the…

HUD says Carson did nothing wrong by appearing with Trump

Image
President Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson step off Air Force One upon their arrival in Reno, Nev., Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Donald Trump and WASHINGTON (AP) — Legal experts said Wednesday that Housing Secretary Ben Carson likely did not violate federal law when he appeared with President Donald Trump at a campaign rally. After the appearance Tuesday night , questions were raised on Twitter about whether Carson had violated the federal law known as the Hatch Act, which bars most executive branch officials from using their government positions to influence elections. Kathleen Clark, an attorney and law professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, says Carson isn’t prohibited from speaking at a campaign event, but Hatch would bar him from invoking or using his official position to engage in partisan political activity . Housing and Urban Development spokesman Jerry Brown said the agency doesn’t think Carson did anything ...

Barring last-minute appeal, derelict Woodmere apartments will be demolished Friday

Image
In the Woodmere subdivision, Alex Kornman Boulevard is the dividing line. To the west are single-family homes with neatly manicured lawns . But to the east, wedged between Destrehan Avenue, are rows of apartments--some vacant, some occupied. And it is the place where many of the Harvey neighborhood's troubles lay. On Friday afternoon, barring a last minute appeal, contractors will raze 2636 Destrehan Ave ., just two blocks from where 6-year-old Ahlittia North was found murdered. The Jefferson Parish Council authorized an emergency demolition of the building after owner Leon Capers Jr . failed to appear for a hearing. An order for demolition is posted on 2636 Destrehan Ave. "We have to make sure that all citizens of Jefferson Parish , including Woodmere, have a certain quality of life that they would expect anywhere in this parish,'' said Parish Councilman Mark Spears , who pressed for expedited demolitions in the neighborhood after Ahlittia's death. The council ...

Excerpt from ‘City Mouse,’ by Stacey Lender

Sharon and Dave had just moved to Scarsdale from the city and I swear during brunch they slipped Aaron some suburban Kool-Aid with their day-old bagels. While the kids played on a giant plastic gym set in their cavernous empty living room , they proudly gave us a tour of their five-bedroom Colonial, closet by closet. Aaron seemed bored, as usual, but when we entered the en suite master bathroom , complete with double sinks and a rainfall shower, I heard him gasp. “A separate little room for the toilet!” he said, eyes glowing wide with bathroom envy. “You know,” Sharon said, “our builder is working on plans for the house next door.” “We’re not quite ready,” I replied. “But we can ta...

Infill residential development planned for Raleigh's ‘Tiny Town’

Developers plan to build a community of new homes in the midst of an established neighborhood at the edge of downtown. The new houses will replace a cluster of small rental homes known as Tiny Town near the Oakwood and Mordecai neighborhoods . The rental community , called the Brookview Apartments, is under contract by residential developer Community Properties in a joint venture with builder Robuck Homes . The property was originally listed for $5.3 million. A final purchase price has not been disclosed. Jack Morisey, president of Community Properties , said the area is ripe for development, especially with the revitalization of North Person Street , which includes new restaurants, shops and bars. “We want to do something that’s really attractive, that really fits in. We certainly understand that the Mordecai and Oakwood neighborhoods are treasures,” he said. The move toward infill development is one example of the new ways developers are looking to build in Raleigh’s dense down...

Windrush Apartments - Apartments - 2101 Windrush Ct, Statesville, NC - Phone Number

This was my first experience with this business and it was a bad experience. I inquired about a 2br apartment that they had advertised on Craigslist. I spoke to Melissa Wise, who replied to my email. She told me that the apartment was currently available. After asking some questions about the apartment, I asked if I could come in and check out the apartment. She told me that "the apartment was being cleaned, and next week would be better." I said okay. I sent another email that following Monday trying to check out the apartment. No response. I waited 2 days, still no reply. I sent another email, again, no reply. I called the next day, no answer. I called again the next day and no answer, so I left a message with my name and number, for a call back. I waited a couple of days, still no email and no call back. Finally I'm searching Craigslist, and I see the same exact apartment listed for $670. When I inquired about that apartment, suddenly, I can get a response, and of cou...

Testimony: JD Hall’s Recent Visit to Heretic Jim Bakker’s Studio

Image
The following testimony from JD Hall regarding a recent visit to Jim Bakker’s studio and Morningside Ministries was sent to Pulpit & Pen for publishing. While on a working vacation in Branson, Missouri on August 2 – just prior to my debate on Cessationism and Charismaticism in Cleveland the following weekend – I spent time with my extended family on the campus of College of the Ozarks. While there, I planned to visit the television studios and survivalist retreat (for lack of a better word) of Jim Bakker, the disgraced televangelist who had a multi-millionaire fund his ministry come back and who is now hustling survival supplies in the name of Jesus. Prior to leaving on vacation, I planned this visit to Morningside and received permission for what I had expected would happen from my local church leadership , lest anyone think I am a completely crazy man who had gone rogue or something like that. My leadership gave me the okay to do what I, indeed, ended up doing. First, a few th...

Buy Photo Caution tape warns of asbestos contamination at a Fort Collins apartment complex following a fire in this 2015 file photo. (Photo: Jason Pohl/The Coloradoan) Buy Photo Investigators this week continue to piece together what caused an early morning apartment fire that destroyed six units at a Fort Collins complex , all while displaced residents who lost everything work to piece their lives back together.

A more detailed timeline about when those answers may come was not immediately available. Alex Dye, 19, was asleep when he heard smoke alarms blaring . He woke up thinking someone was cooking or the batteries were low. "I peeked my head around the corner and saw my whole northern wall was on fire," he told the Coloradoan Tuesday...

With ‘Y is for Yesterday,’ Sue Grafton prepares for the alphabet series’ end

Lit Life “She is my alter ego,” says Sue Grafton of her fictional heroine, Southern California private detective Kinsey Millhone . “I’m an introvert, so doing half of what Kinsey is beyond my poor capabilities. But it’s fun to get to live her life without penalty!” Grafton, on the phone from her home in Montecito, California, is the best-selling author of what’s known to countless mystery fans as “the alphabet series .” The project has become Grafton’s life’s work, beginning with “A Is for Alibi” in 1982 and continuing through this month’s publication of “Y Is for Yesterday” (Putnam, $29). The final book in the 26-volume series, “Z Is for Zero,” will be out in 2019. And while the rest of us have aged several decades, Kinsey’s gotten only a few years older. Early on, Grafton said, she realized that even if she wrote a book a year, “after 26 years [Kinsey’s] going to be way too old to be running around hitting bad guys with her pocketbook. I thought I’d better keep her credibly young, ...
