Buy Photo Crews are working three shifts weekdays and Saturdays to finish Little Caesars Arena, the firm overseeing construction says. (Photo: Clarence Tabb Jr . / The Detroit News) Buy Photo Dozens of the contractors building Little Caesars Arena have been fined a total of $2.9 million as of March for frequently not hiring at least 51 percent of Detroiters at the ongoing construction site , according to the latest data collected by the city. And that total is expected to be even higher during the push to complete construction of the $862. 9 million sports and entertainment complex by early September, based on the monthly data compiled by the city agency monitoring the workforce agreements on construction sites, said Portia Roberson, director of the city’s Office of Human Rights. An average of 27 percent of total hours worked at the arena site were performed by Detroit residents from April 2015 to March 2017, the latest monthly data available. It’s been two years, August 2015, ...

Workers at London’s Old Royal Naval College were prepping the site of a new visitors center for the Painted Hall, considered the Sistine Chapel of England, when they unearthed something equally incredible: two rooms from the Palace of Placentia, reports Giles Broadbent  at  The Wharf. Built in 1433, and later known as Greenwich Palace, the palace is the birthplace of King Henry VIII and his daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I, and was considered one of the most luxurious of the Tudor-era palaces. It’s believed that the two rooms were in the palace’s service quarters, housing things like breweries, kitchens, bakeries and laundry facilities. One of the subterranean rooms includes what researchers believe are “bee boles” or niches in the walls where skeps—early versions of commercial beehives—were kept. The find is unusual because most bee boles were outdoors, built into exterior walls, but the researchers believe the palace may have used the indoor niches to protect hibernating bees in ...

(Photo: Jon Austria/The Daily Times) Buy Photo FARMINGTON — Officials from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development performed a site review today at the Apple Ridge Apartments , an 80- unit apartment complex  that has been the subject of increased scrutiny after a 64-year-old man's death at the facility in September.

I wasn’t going to waste my time on the over-privileged, excessively- pampered trophy wife Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin stupidly took with him on a recent taxpayer- funded business trip . Linton was on a government-funded jet, and cited her husband's service as part of her punch-down of a critic https://t.co/DfJ1GOMvlf — Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) August 22, 2017 But after thinking about her rude, snotty, and insanely ill-informed reply to someone who took issue with her gross display of wealth, I think I should expend a few words. Mrs. Mnuchin believes she and her spouse contribute more to the country than whomever it was who critiqued her behavior. No. They and their kind are leeches. Bloodsuckers. Literally part of the great vampire squid empire Matt Taibbi described. They do not add value to this country. They chew at its foundations in great, monster-sized bites. And they believe they are entitled to do so. But they’re wealthy! Look at all the money they have , one mig...

Just outside of Sharlene Carlson's secluded condominium patio , redwood trees tower overhead and filtered sunlight dapples the cool dirt floor below. "I love living here," said Carlson of the Palo Alto Redwoods , a 117-unit complex in south Palo Alto built on the site of a former redwood-tree nursery. "I thought I was going to buy and then move up, but I'm in a serene place. It's almost a spiritual place. I look at the redwood trees and feel peaceful and calm." But that calm has recently been disrupted as plans have emerged to develop the property next to Palo Alto Redwoods : 4256 El Camino Real , the current site of Su Hong, a Chinese restaurant. The proposal to build a 69-room hotel and eight townhomes has galvanized to action not only Carlson, head of the homeowners association, but other Palo Alto Redwoods residents as well. Seven condo owners voiced their concerns at Thursday's meeting of the city's Architectural Review Board , wh...
