CHATTANOOGA, TN (WCMH) — Officials with the Chattanooga Fire Department are reminding people of the potential consequences of riding with their feet propped up on the dashboard. This pose may be comfortable, but it’s also dangerous. “Airbags deploy between 100 and 220 mph. If you ride with your feet on the dash and you’re involved in an accident, the airbag may send your knees through your eye sockets,” the Chattanooga Fire Department reminded people  last Thursday on Facebook. The CFD official who wrote the post said he or she saw many passengers with their feet on the dash while traveling.

SAXONY APARTMENTS HAS WORLDLY FLAVOR MANY INTERNATIONAL UW-MADISON STUDENTS LIVE AT THE APARTMENTS, WHICH ARE NEAR THE CAMPUS.(APARTMENT WEEKLY) - The Wisconsin State Journal (Madison, WI)

Byline: Pamela Cotant For the State Journal One-third of the residents of Saxony Apartments come from other countries, influencing the way the buildings near the UW-Madison campus are run. Mary Gomez, property manager, said at the start of each rental year, she spends time teaching some residents the basics, such as how to run a garbage disposal, use a gas stove and hook up a phone. "We have to get them on the bus," Gomez said. "You're like a mother hen." The Saxony also loans out vacuum cleaners, mops, hair dryers and irons and will provide other cleaning supplies. "I try to make them feel very welcome and let them know we appreciate that they came," she said. …

Community hopeful new buyer will see potential of Park Hill Elementary building

Image
CREDIT: KTHV LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- People driving on JFK Boulevard in the Park Hill community called us saying they were shocked to see the Park Hill Elementary School Back up for sale again. They wanted to know what was going on. So, we called Brooks Mcrae , the realtor whose name was on the for sale signs in front of the school. He confirmed the school is back up for sale and is listed on the Mckimmey Real Estate website .  It was only a few months ago when there were talks of a technology company setting up shop there. Community members were hopeful that new business coming in would help re-invigorate the community. Now, community members said they are hopeful a new buyer will see the potential the Park Hill Community has. Melody Stanley owns Red Door Gallery , a business right across the street from the school. She said there are many different things it could be great for. “I would love to see loft apartments and specialty shops,” said Stanley. “Whoever buys it needs to...

Post Grad Problems | Taylor Swift Went At The King And Missed

Image
Taylor Swift came out swinging Thursday night with “Look What You Made Me Do,” a boring attempt at a diss track aimed at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. I hate that I just wrote that sentence. I want to cut all of the skin off my body, burn it and cleanse myself through the pain. Best case scenario, I mercilessly beat the song into my brain until I trick myself into liking it. Taylor trying to go after Kim and Kanye is a bold move, but Taylor’s a bold chick. You don’t rise to “kweeeeeen” status through half measures and occasional top 50 tracks . She sits upon a throne made of platinum records. Her pedigree is unmatched. “1989” was a goddamn masterpiece (minus “Welcome To New York”, which caused more people to leave New York than move there), and “Shake It Off” is the best pop song in the last 20 years. Taylor didn’t trust her fastball and she hung a curve to Kanye. He’s about to come back twice as hard and ruthless. I expect a counter-attack by the end of the weekend, and I don’t exp...

I Hated Shorts Until Athleisure Became a Thing

Image
Whenever I put on a pair of shorts, I immediately start going through a list of insecurities in my head: I think my legs are too stubby, my calves are too wide, my lower half is too short. When I finally convince myself that it's way too hot out to even bother with this internal struggle, I put them on and find that keeping them under control is a nuisance in and of itself, having to adjust, pull out my front-wedgie, and actively monitor the cameltoe situation when I feel the inseams ride up into my groin. Plus, they make me feel childish: Shorts take me back to my grade school days , when baring legs wasn 't a big deal at all—i.e. long before I found myself constantly worrying about dress codes or whether my attire is "office-appropriate." The idea of wearing shorts as a grown woman seems off-putting to me; even during weekends, I find myself simply not knowing how to style an outfit with shorts that feels "grown-up" or "attractive"—not with my re...

Redbeard carries a backpack and a sacred calling

Image
I once saw Redbeard riding his skateboard along Otay Lakes Road . It was close to midnight, there were only a few cars on the road, and the light from the streetlamps was dim. As he snaked his way down the slope, hands in his pocket, moving toward the Sweetwater Valley —where he sleeps against the wall of the Circle K, or holds his signs along the 805 exit for spare change or spreads the good news to the people of the jungle — I thought of a verse he once shared with me, a Psalm of promises from God: For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. When I first met Redbeard he was sitting still on a patch of grass, legs outstretched, under the shade of a large clump of bamboo-like Arundo donax , alongside a drainage ditch next to the southbound 805 freeway exit onto Bonita Roa...

Southwind Apartments - Apartments - 3902 Old Savannah Dr, Cincinnati, OH - Phone Number

Best Feature: Okay apartment conditions and affordable prices Worst Feature: TERRIBLE service from landlord + co.!! So I hate giving poor ratings on my reviews, but once in a while you find that business or establishment that just leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. This is definitely one of those for me and I wanted to get this review out there to warn others who might be looking for an apartment to rent. I was a tenant here for 3 years starting in May of 2007. When I first moved in, they had a older landlady who was very nice and unless you were blatantly rude or disrepectful, would work hard to help with any of your apartment problems. I was shown an apartment there and liked their prices - the 1-br apartment I was looking for was decently sized (for 1 occupant) and they allowed cats/dogs for a monthly fee ($25 per pet). The apartments were in decent condition for the most part - some little issues here and there, but it was livable and didn't have to deal with pest prob...

Before & After: Taking an Apartment From Blank Slate to Luxe Suite

Kevin moved into a smaller apartment in a prime location and found himself facing the blank slate of a unit in a new building. A fan of both small spaces and hotel living, he jumped at the opportunity to transform the apartment into a boutique hotel inspired suite of his own. (Image credit: Submitted by Kevin) From Kevin: I moved from 1,000 square feet to 540 to be on the Potomac River in DC's Wharf Development. The new construction offered a blank slate to style into an executive suite . While the building is on the river, the apartment has an interior courtyard view . This meant I needed to style the space in a way that felt like a luxurious hotel suite filled with art and design pieces that make the rooms come to life and offer visual stimulation at all hours of the day. After long walks along the river with my dogs, I wanted to return home and bask in the western exposure sunlight or light up the artwork in the evening to relax and get inspired. I wanted to transform the ...

Hands-on approach spells success for Hitchcock founder

At left is Brandon Thompson. (Photo: Kitsap Sun file photo ) Owning and operating six restaurants can be complicated. Just ask Brendan McGill , founder of Hitchcock on Bainbridge Island and the fabulously popular Bruciato pizzeria across the street. On one recent morning McGill sauntered into his Hitchcock Deli, adjacent to his farm to table eatery and had to rescue a barista who was wrestling with a plugged up coffee grinder. With a few flicks of his wrists and some gentle instruction, he saved the day as customers were beginning to line up. “It’s great to be able to do most of this stuff myself,” says the 37-year-old award-winning chef and successful entrepreneur . “It’s a good ...
