See more of the story One of Lucy Elliott’s life mottos is “Make Do,” a phrase her parents often used and one that sums up her years-in-the-making effort to create a children’s activity center in south Minneapolis. The retired educator has collected old materials for crafts and projects, as well as books and toys she’s used in her jobs and raising her own family, and set them up in a renovated auto garage at E. 34th Street and 42nd Avenue S. She’s calling it Belle’s Tool Box, an homage to her mother. Once Belle’s opens in September, Elliott said she hopes parents will bring their kids there and engage with them in different crafts and activities. She’ll encourage a phone-free policy in hopes that parents will follow their kids’ leads and focus on whatever book, toy or project catches their eye. Elliott said her family’s basement, garage and backyard were formative spaces as a child, where she was always working on a project and learning new skills. She said she hopes that Belle’s can ...

7 401 E Jericho Tpke Carle Place , NY 11514 (516) 246-6174 My husband and I have been living at this eagle rock location for about a year and half now and we haven't had that many issues directly affecting us. This location is ideal, every highway is accessible within a mile radius along with the mall and multiple grocery stores . The exterior of the complex is well maintained, the lawn is always manicured which is nice. That being said, the complaints I do have revolve around maintenance. The laundry room conditions are horrendous, the machines are always breaking down and I found that the detergent doesn't always release into the machine so we resorted to using tide pods. I did the laundry today and found a trail of dead ants by the washing machine, which could have easily been cleaned up by the maintenance crew but it wasn't. It costs two dollars to use the washing machine and another two to use the dryer and you would think that the room would be somewhat maintaine...

Beaty/Denverite) When it was announced last week that Chipotle would be the first company to publicly partner with the city to subsidize housing for low- and moderate-income Denverites, a lot of people had the same question: Why doesn’t Chipotle just pay its employees enough money to afford Denver housing ? The answer, as you can probably guess, is in economics. “The balance between costs of housing in the city and wages… those two are grossly out of line,” said Erik Soliván, executive director of the Denver Office of Housing and Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE). “ We have a lot of people with jobs, the lowest — probably — unemployment rate in the country, but the wages are not keeping pace and are being far out-paced by the cost...

RENO, Nev. (AP) — It's a journey that most people eventually take. Fifteen years ago , Anne Carte decided to leave the familiar comforts of home and family to move out on her own. For Carte, who was 20 years old at the time, moving to the Biggest Little City from San Jose, California, represented an exciting and crucial juncture in her life. "I moved to Reno to grow up and be an adult," Carte said. The year 2002 had its fair share of memorable moments. That same year, "Star Wars: Episode II" debuted in theaters, Tiger Woods won the 66th Masters Tournament and "American Idol" premiered on television. One thing Carte specifically remembers was the cost of rent. Back then, the monthly rate for Carte's first studio in Sparks was only $495. For a young person who just moved out of home and landed an entry-level job at Target, an affordable place to stay was not a luxury. It was a b...
