Local leaders say 1,000 dead from Sierra Leone mudslides

Image
In tonight’s What’s Working, a local non profit that provides housing for homeless veterans has a waiting list. Eagle’s Landing has provided apartments for veterans for the past 5 years. It’s located on Moffett Road. There are 38 apartments available for the men. News 5 talked with Army Veteran, Curtis Haskin. He has dealt with PTSD for years. He has been at Eagle’s Landing for the past 14 months and says he’s gotten help for his problems. He says “I am deeply grateful. Eagle’s Landing was here to help me.” Veterans can live at Eagle’s Landing for up to 2 years, while they work on getting a job or long-term housing. CEO of Volunteers of America Southeast, Wallace Davis, had a vision for the complex, because he wanted a place where veterans could get back on their feet. “I didn’t want to do a dorm. I wanted to create a home, a place where they could rest and have their own inner peace and get their act together. We want them to get back into their community.” Eagle’s Landing relies on f...

Proposed Paris Building Renovation is Really Out There

Image
French architect Stéphane Malka has a very interesting proposal for how to renovate an old apartment building in Paris. Plug-in City 75, as the project is named, calls for attaching a series of wooden boxes to the building’s façade, which will have the dual function of increasing the interior space of the apartments, as well as make the structure more energy efficient. Malka came up with this idea because the local building codes do not allow for extending buildings upward , but extending them outward is allowed. He has already designed the wooden boxes to be used for this purpose. They vary in size and are all prefabricated off-site. The building that is to get this interesting facelift is located in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, and was build in the 1970s. The prefab boxes to be used will be lightweight, and built using sustainably-sourced wood. Plans call for them to be mounted onto the building’s facade. The occupants of the building will be able to decide what they want to use the ...

ICYMI: Al Capone’s Park Slope Home Is For Sale

Image
PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — If you've ever wanted to live in the old Brooklyn home of a notorious gangster, you've got a chance to do it. The Park Slope home where Al Capone used to live is up for sale, and it will only cost you a cool $2.5 million to move in. Capone grew up in a nearby building on Garfield Place, according to realtor.com, and moved into this listing in the early 1900s. "If he had lived here today, he wouldn’t have to go into the rum-running business," listing agent Bren Salamon told Patch . That's because Capone could make some serious dough from the two rental units attached to the condo, which could bring in a pretty penny in 2017 Park Slope . Anyone who moves in, though, won't be looking at any old relics of Brooklyn gone by. The home, as many are in the borough these days, was completely renovated by an investor about a year ago. The main townhouse is 2, 980 square feet spread over two levels. Along with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, t...

Suspect steals car with child inside; 3-year-old found safe

JACKSON, MS Mississippi News Now - 3-year-old King Knight has been found safe after the car he was in was stolen Monday afternoon . It started on Will-o-wood Boulevard in Jackson Monday morning just before noon. 3-year-old King Knight was in his mother's running silver Chevy Impala  when a 17-year-old acquaintance of the mother, who was in the car, suddenly took off. Sharon Knight was frantic on the phone, immediately afterward . "As soon as I was about to cross back over, the man screeched and pulled off," said Knight. Jackson police immediately put out a BOLO for the child and the car, frantically searching streets in south Jackson. After two hours, the car found abandoned at the Cypress Point apartments off Raymond Road. The 3-year-old found about a mile away.   He had been dropped off at a relatives home.   "We found the 3 year old boy as far as we know he is safe," said Chief Vance. "I just saw him. He's wide eyed, a little bit agitated....

Windemere Park Apartments - CLOSED - 16 Photos - Apartments - 2820 Windwood Dr, Ann Arbor, MI - Phone Number

4 2820 Windwood Dr Ann Arbor , MI 48105 (844) 217-2848 Through my two year stay at Windemere, it deserves a 3 star rating. It served its purpose as a great starter apartment , low in cost compared to many other apartments, and a great location. However, there were always common issues of noisy neighbors, bugs coming in and out, AC mishaps, and breaking doors / cabinets. The response to these issues were always quick and got the job done. I would recommend it as a starter apartment but not long term. First, I want to say that the maintenance staff here is well-prepared, fast and top notch. They are reliable and generally awesome. As is the office staff. We have a very nice new washer/dryer combo in the the unit. The grounds are pleasant (though they have some drainage issues). And they do an excellent job of keeping the snow plowed in the winter. That being said, I have really, really mixed feelings about this complex. These are relatively pricey apartments and are marketed as fairl...

Paris Electric Scooter Rentals Are Getting Even More Competitive

Get your international driver's license ready. Paris: the city of light, love, and... electric scooters . As if you needed another reason to go to the French capital, the Berlin- based company Coup has just launched its electric scooter sharing service in Paris, making the city's long- standing bike sharing seem substantially less cool. Coup isn’t the first e- scooter service in the city—that would be Cityscoot, which launched in 2015 and operates in a similar fashion. The mobile- based service requires users to download the app and view a map to find available scooters parked nearby , the same way as Citi Bike in New York; you then unlock the scooter with your phone and open the seat’s storage space to get your helmet, providing security you don't get with traditional bike share services . More than 600 Coup scooters are parked throughout Paris, though they’re mostly concentrated around the city center. You’ll need an international driver’s license (or a regular Class...

Boise: Glenbrook Apts. remodel under way without permits

City of Boisespokesperson Mike Journee says there were red flags around what's been going on at the Glenbrook Apartments during construction. (Photo: Mary Kienzle/KTVB) BOISE - Hundreds were forced out of the Glenbrook Apartments in Boise last fall - the experience leaving those tenants confused and frustrated. "One day I discovered I am without home," former Glenbrook tenant and Iraqi refugee Tamara Al Thanoon told KTVB. Many refugees were among those told to leave their homes and given 30 days notice to find a new place to live in a city they were still unfamiliar with. It was because the property owner s were going to remodel the apartment complex and raise rent by hundreds of dollars. RELATED : Hundreds of refugees forced out of Boise apartments But KTVB found out on Friday that those plans were just halted by the city of Boise.

NTSB documents offer insight but no cause for Silver Spring building explosion that killed 7

Image
Federal investigators said they found a disconnected vent pipe in the basement room where natural gas built up before a lethal explosion last year at a Silver Spring apartment complex . They have not determined when the pipe was disconnected, why or who did it, but the disconnect would have bypassed a safety feature meant to vent gas from the basement room of the building to the exterior, investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wrote in a preliminary report on the Aug. 10, 2016, explosion that killed seven people, injured more than 30 and left more than 100 homeless. “The person who disconnected the vent pipe, as well as his/her intentions in doing so, are as of yet to be determined,” investigators wrote in a preliminary report that was made public Tuesday . ATF investigators, who are working with the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation of the incident, said that the cause of the explosion and fire that followed are undete...

Stories From a Sacred Place: Defending the humanity, debunking the ghost of Lucy Pretty Eagle | Closer Look

Lucy Pretty Eagle occupies a prominent spot in the folklore of Carlisle Barracks and among the tombstones of the post cemetery. Situated in the front row, at the far corner of the burial ground, her grave marker is among the first to catch the eye of many a motorist entering the installation. She appears to be at rest, at least on the surface, but there have been rumors over the decades that her playful spirit haunts the Coren Apartments of the historic campus. Legend has it her ghost is fond of slamming the door, rocking the bed, turning pictures toward the wall and tying the laces of tennis shoes. Retreat inward  Barbara Landis is not a believer in Lucy the ghost. This Carlisle Indian School biographer would rather work to debunk the story and defend the humanity of a Lakota girl taken away from her homeland and the people of the Rosebud Agency in South Dakota. Landis was so determined to set the record straight she researched and wrote the essay " Putting Lucy Pretty Eagle ...

South Korea’s once-rigorous civilian air-raid drills grow lax

SEOUL, South Korea — Once or twice a year, activity on the streets of South Korea’s capital freezes as a wailing siren marks a nationwide drill aimed at preparing against a North Korean attack . Cars stop on roads. Pedestrians move into buildings and subway stations. Government buildings are evacuated. The scenes during the latest air-raid drill on Wednesday are remarkable for turning parts of this usually bustling city into a ghost town. But a closer look raises questions about whether the exercises are adequately preparing South Koreans while the threat from North Korea’s nuclear and missile program grows . For many, there’s no real training, just people standing around in schoolyards or other gathering spots, staring into their smartphones, chatting amiably or just looking bored or frustrated. Many schools don’t participate in the air-raid drills and those that do often escort children outside. Leaving their buildings would be a good idea during earthquakes, but a terrible deci...
