Lafayette's Circle Motel could be razed in redevelopment bid

A saga spanning the last year and a half over whether Lafayette's Circle Motel — a collection of ramshackle buildings with an even grainier past — should remain preserved as a part of the city's history was decided earlier this week, and it looks like the venerable motel will be allowed to redevelop. The news came to the delight of the owner, Mike Macinko, whose disdain for the dilapidated buildings has led to the spectacle of an owner actively, and publicly, campaigning to demolish his own property. The City Council tabled the discussion in December after being unable to find whether or not the structures on the property were of " overwhelming historical significance to the community," as required under the city's Historical Preservation Board . Plans for how the property could be redeveloped are still up in the air, Macinko says. Any development plans will have to sift through the city's planning process. Plans for high- density urban apartments were disc...

The Latest: Hundreds rally at California beaches Boston Free Speech - Facebook BOSTON (AP) - Hundreds of people have rallied at Southern California beaches to condemn racism in the wake of the deadly events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Several hundred people rallied Saturday near a lifeguard tower in Laguna Beach, south of Los Angeles. Mayor Toni Iselman told the crowd that " Laguna Beach doesn 't tolerate diversity, we embrace diversity." The demonstration was held one day before the group America First! planned to hold its own demonstration against illegal immigration in the same spot. Saturday's demonstrators said they didn't want to confront the other group but counter-demonstrators are expected Sunday and police will be out in force. A similar anti-racism event was held Saturday near the famed Venice beach boardwalk in Los Angeles. CONFEDERATE MONUMENT PROTEST - NORTH CAROLINA -THE LATEST The Latest: Con...

Soylent Is the Latest Arrival in the Ever-Expanding Arts District

Image
The meal-in-a-bottle brand is looking past the techie crowd August 17, 2017 Andrew Rosenblum Business In a drab office building on Broadway near 2nd Street downtown , Rob Rhinehart is holding forth on how Soylent, his lab-made, pro- GMO protein drink , should be considered no less natural than bread, eggs, or milk. “People think there’s a sacred or natural way of doing things, but the reality is [the food system’s] always been evolving,” he says, sitting at a coffee table while flanked by PR reps. It’s easy to imagine him making the same argument as part of the pitch that he reportedly gave tech billionaire (and Soylent user) Larry Page to land $50 million from Google Ventures in May. The money will help Soylent and its parent company, Rosa Labs, move into their new headquarters in the rapidly transforming Arts District this month. “I like to be part of what’s next,” Rhinehart says. He and his 55-person team will be settling into At Mateo, an $80 million mixed-use project with vin...

Detroit's tiny homes offer big chance for struggling residents

DETROIT (CNNMoney) - This is Detroit, not Hobbiton. Just like the tiny homes of the hobbits in the "Lord of The Rings" series, the Cass Community Center Tiny Homes Project looks cute. But its small buildings house big hopes . Four years ago, Detroit became the biggest American city in history to file for bankruptcy, brought down by a snowballing financial crisis that followed huge layoffs at the city's major employers General Motors and Chrysler. Today, Detroit is in a period of economic recovery, yet many of its hardest hit residents still don't have adequate housing . The homeless population is around 2,000 and dwindling, according to city authorities. But uncertainty hangs over low-income earners, who struggle to keep up with the rising cost of living. "Purchase prices and rents are increasing faster than people's incomes," says Earl Poleski, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority . "That's a manifestatio...

Sick puppies spur New York scrutiny of non-profit rescues

Related Coverage MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Rumors surrounding new apartments going up in Market Common have Myrtle Beach city leaders working to clear up fact from fiction. Myrtle Beach Planning Director Carol Coleman has been getting a lot of calls recently about Lively at Market Commons , a new apartment complex planned for the city. “My understanding is a letter went out, or maybe something on social media went out, indicating that it was a public housing project ,” explained Coleman . “It is not a public housing development . It is a private developer.” The rumor created a bit of a stir, but conceptual designs show four new luxury apartment buildings at Farrow Parkway and Meyers Avenue, not public housing . “When you’re doing public housing , you can’t typically put the amount of money that you’re putting into it that this developer is putting in. It should be an upscale rental project ,” said Coleman. Coleman says similar apartment buildings have one room studios that start ...

Chestnut Ridge 2008 state champion wrestler dies | News

Gary Pfahler, 26, who became Chestnut Ridge 's first – and to this point only – state champion in 2008, died Thursday morning in Fort Pierce, Florida, according to J Edward Blackburn Funeral Home in Alum Bank, which is handling arrangements.

With Trump pardon, Arpaio again wiggles out of legal trouble

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The city council has approved a $60 million mixed-use development near Town Center — and with it, comes a deal with the developer. The city has agreed to reimburse $10.2 million in paid real estate taxes to Ripley Heatwole Inc. to help build a parking garage, with some public spaces, on the property at Constitution Drive and Bonney Road. Many speakers and Councilwoman Jessica Abbott called the deal “corporate welfare” before the council gave the green light. Abbott and Bobby Dyer voted against CityView Two, the name of the development that will bring more than 200 apartments, retail space and even a hotel to the 23-acre property over the next six years. “Every government needs to be responsible for their taxes or how they spend the money,” said one man from the podium. Councilwoman Barbara Henley says the money is not currently in the city’s coffers and will be generated only because the new development is being built. Henley points out the city has pro...

Cheeto Fingers Go Upscale at Pop-Up Restaurant in Tribeca | CMO Strategy

Most Popular Tacos with Flamin' Hot Cheetos were part of the menu at The Spotted Cheetah, a pop-up restaurant in New York. Credit: Megan Graham Cheeto fingers don 't make for the sexiest Instagram posts . So what made the pop-up restaurant dedicated to the nearly 70-year-old junk food so appetizing for social media? Consider cuisine that was intended to be Cheeto-inspired but not too much, decor that was -- despite everything -- "not too cheesy," and even a reported visit from Tribeca neighbor Mariah Carey . (We can confirm she does indeed live around the block, and could be spotted blowing a kiss to fans as she exited her apartment Thursday evening .) We visited The Spotted Cheetah, the pop-up restaurant from Frito-Lay's Cheetos brand inside Distilled N.Y. in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood , on the final night of its three-day run.

Decorating Diary: Brightening a dark room | Reading Eagle

Image
| Joan Friedman Q: I would like to use a deep color for the wall paint but am concerned about it darkening the room. Any suggestions? A: Break it up with white or off- white wood trim and ceiling. Use the reverse for upholstered pieces, such as a light background with this deeper color in it.••• Q: I have a small apartment, and the living room is all beige. I would like to make it more interesting, but how? A: Here's an example. Choose an afghan in colors of pink and purple and fold it on a chair or ottoman. On a sofa, place small, different-shaped pillows in pink and purple, and one in a pattern of both colors. Across the room, you may enjoy an arrangement of silk or real purple flowers . It would be nice to show off some decorative candles in one of your colors. Assuming you have a large painting showing the two colors, you will have a warm and beautiful arrangement. If that large painting is in shades of blue and green, update your accessories to match these colors.Wh...

Kushner Cos faces lawsuit claiming rent overcharging in New York

Residents of a building owned by the Kushner Cos on Tuesday sued the real estate company belonging to the family of President Donald Trump ’s son-in- law Jared Kushner , alleging the it overcharged them for rent in violation of New York law. Nine current and former residents of 89 Hicks Street , a residential building in Brooklyn the Kushner Cos purchased in 2014, sued the real estate firm in New York state court . They said the company flouted its obligation under New York law to offer them rent-stabilized leases. The plaintiffs want their lawsuit to proceed as a class action, saying more than 100 current and former residents of the building could have similar claims. A spokesman for the Kushner Cos said the company is reviewing the lawsuit and offered no further comment.
