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 .

At $750 a month, a new apartment opening in the University District is one of the cheapest in Seattle. So what do you get for that price? A room the size of a parking space with a toilet that’s not even behind its own door. The landlord for a congregate housing building opening on Seventh Avenue Northeast recently posted an ad online searching for tenants, and it was widely circulated this week in a Reddit post that referred to the room as a “prison cell.” The ad features a 130-square-foot “studio” that contains a sink, shower and toilet. The entire space is in one room: The toilet and shower are open to the rest of the living space. There is no kitchen. The rent is $750 a month, plus a $1,000 deposit, and includes access to a congregate kitchen area and free utilities. “This is a definite MUST SEE!!” the ad says. New apartment in U District! $750/month !?!? For perspective, just seven years ago, $750 got renters the average University District studio , according to Dupre + Scot...

It isn’t every day that the leader of a sprawling metropolis takes time out to preside over the grand opening of a movie theater. But this wasn’t just any multiplex, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti would explain. Last Thursday the nine- screen Cinemark Playa Vista and XD theater became the first business to open in Runway at Playa Vista — the $260- million retail and entertainment complex that, by linking the 460- acre development ’s burgeoning technology mega -center to what will eventually be 6,000 new homes and apartments, completes Playa Vista as essentially a city unto itself. Less than two years after its April 2013 groundbreaking, Runway is only months shy of substantial completion. A 36,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market is set to open as early as May. Sixteen other businesses — restauran...
