‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ Episode 15: Judy, Judy, Judy

Image
An episode of mysterious convergences and heartbreaking closure. F our episodes to go. Just four. And I don’t know about you, but every time I sit down to watch a new hour of Twin Peaks , I am the best kind of nervous because, honestly, this whole world Lynch and Frost have been showing us, it spins on a dime, it can be anything from one minute to the next. As last week’s phenomenal episode proved , it only takes one single scene – like Andy in The Fireman’s abode, or Sarah Palmer in the Elks’ bar – to completely change everything. And with dozens upon dozens of scenes yet to come, we might be near the end but we’re nowhere near done with Twin Peaks , or, rather, Twin Peaks is nowhere near done with us.We begin this week in the Town of Twin Peaks. Nadine is walking down the side of the highway with a gold shovel in her hands and a determined smile on her face. She arrives as Big Ed’s Gas Farm. We’ve been wondering if they were still together, as we haven’t actually seen them together ...

Historic Victorian building to be transformed into 25 apartments (From The Argus)

A BUILDING used to train up scores of builders over the years is now to receive its own makeover to give it a new lease of life. The former City College construction and trades centre in Preston Road, Brighton, is set to be transformed into 25 apartments. Work on the transformation of the locally listed Victorian red - brick property is expected to start within the next five months and be completed by the end of next year. Brighton- based Yelo Architects said the conversion would give house hunters the rare opportunity to secure a loft apartment in the city. The scheme, which was granted planning consent by Brighton and Hove City Council planning committee last week, involves a mixture of one, two and three bedroom apartments. Developers Aligned Property bought the site in October after it became surplus to the requirements of Greater Brighton Metropolitan College , formed from the merger of City College and Northbrook College. A new £ 9 million training centre opened at ...

A local student and his homeless charity are seeking the public’s help to locate a man who has been seen sleeping near Santa Monica City Hall . 14 years old Elliot Katz runs Reaching Out California from his home and the nonprofit undertakes projects to aid the Los Angeles homeless community .

Abraham 61 years old, has some mental health issues but is otherwise sober. She said he used to live in North Hollywood with his mother but when his mother died, he was unable to secure housing for himself and became homeless. Katz and his father searched Tongva Park recently but were unable to find Oliva. They have since turned to the local police department and the public fo...

CLOSE TO UNIVERSAL/DISNEY/DOWNTOWN -COOL APARTMENT

Sergio was responsive. Place was a basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. Sergio has made some nice upgrades (new flooring in some places, etc), but some things need some attention, like the Dishwasher wasn't working ( he had left a note on it saying so.) Furniture is mostly Ikea, so new, but kitchen set was small and not necessarily comfy. Biggest issue is that the cleaning folks had not done a thorough job, but should that improve, it would be a fine place to stay. Location is very convenient to things!!

Lovely Collects Apartment Listings, Organizes Them, Drops Them On a Google Map

Image
The next time you're looking for an apartment or rental home, give Lovely a shot. The service pulls in apartment listings from all over the web ( including Craigslist , which Padmapper, our current favorite , no longer supports, no thanks to Craigslist) and organizes them so you can easily see how many rentals are in a given neighborhood or city, search for specific amenities or prices, and then get in touch with the landlord. Lovely works a lot like some of the other Google- maps based services that do the same thing, but where Lovely shines is in how well designed the whole service is. Before you zoom in on a map, you can see how many listings are in an area with a simple number, so you don't have to count push-pins, and neighborhoods are broken up into zones so you can see whether a rental falls in the area you want to live. You can see the age of a given apartment listing and how fresh it is right from the map view, so you don't waste time looking at old listings. Of...
