A pub lunch in the Cotswolds is the top 'happy place' for Brits

Our favourite 30 British places were revealed in a study... Most Popular Getty Martyn Ferry 24 August 2017 If you were able to be transported to your 'happy place' right now, you may choose walking along a beautiful beach in Cornwall, sitting atop a mountain peak in Snowdonia or enjoying the stunning countryside of the Peak District. Or maybe you would choose the same as many other Brits – a pub lunch in the Cotswolds? As part of a new study into which UK destinations us Brits hold closest to our hearts, The Serviced Apartment Company (SACO) found that enjoying a meal in a classically English Cotswold stone pub was the most popular 'happy place.' Participants, both locals and visitors, felt this experience created fond memories and made them feel happy, calm and serene.

Let me tell you something as a current resident in Lucky. I have dealt with many property management companies , Forward Management by far being the worst in the city, and I do not see any of these bad things happening here. The staff, and I mean all of them, are accessible, helpful, and friendly. Three years ago I was living in the Woodman's parking lot and I built my businesses up to the point that I can now afford a penthouse at Lucky. I can also afford several lawyers and do have them. If Lucky stepped one foot out of line you bet they would be in court by me or anyone else up here most likely. When you pay that much for an apartment you have the right to expect world class service (and believe me although the Lucky Apartments may be more expensive than other properties in town, they are definitely worth the added expense and a steal for the quality and attention to detail). Everything from the floors to the appliances are top of the line. But it goes beyond physical qualit...

New Yorkers Are Fleeing To Los Angeles In Droves, Study Shows

Image
NEW YORK, NY — It's one of the oldest rivalries in American migration: New York vs. Los Angeles. For the better part of a century, residents of the nation's two largest metro areas have been defending their chosen kingdom and dismissing the other on an endless loop of judginess between kitty-corner coasts. Ew, the traffic! But the sunshine! But the subway! But the garbage! But the skyline! But the coastline! But the bustle! But the chill! In this tireless war of words, a clear winner has yet to emerge. But it's harder to argue against the numbers. Thousands of working professionals have relocated to Los Angeles County from New York City in the past year and a half, according to a series of monthly "workforce reports" released this spring and summer by the job- networking site LinkedIn (and spotted by LA Weekly). And it's not exactly a two-way street. Since early 2016, according to LinkedIn, around seven or eight out of every 10, 000 site users in LA report...

The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
