Photos via Harbor Point Development , LLC D avenport Landing, a new boatyard and apartment complex at Stamford’s Harbor Point, is on its way to completion by 2018. But the approved project, which follows nearly five years of legal action and negotiations between the city and Harbor Point’s developer over the demolition of another boatyard that has blocked further redevelopment, has sparked another lawsuit from an environmental opponent this year. “We expect the boatyard to be finished this fall,” said Ted Ferrarone, chief operating officer at Harbor Point Development LLC , a subsidiary of the Stamford- based developer Building and Land Technology (BLT). “The second phase of the project is a 218- unit apartment complex that is under construction now and will probably open next summer.” Ferrarone said the Davenport Landing project at 28 Southfield Ave. contributes to a “renaissance to the waterfront.” The boatyard, on ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Among 12-year-old Princeton Korper's daily household responsibilities : Fold the family's laundry, mind his three younger siblings when their mom is away - and wipe cockroach egg sacs off the kitchen counter. On a summer evening, before he is allowed to join his friends outside, Princeton matter-of-factly goes about this revolting task. Spray, spray, wipe. Sigh. The bugs are getting worse, his mom, Contessa, says. Their colony within her five-bedroom apartment is growing to unnerving proportions. At the arrival of dusk, she says, the insidious insects brazenly explore the family's cabinets, furniture and living space, dropping their egg sacs just about everywhere. Contessa says she loses sleep, waking up often to swat that creepy-crawly feeling from her neck. As she speaks, a roach scurries down the face of the stove behind her and climbs into a clean, empty pot sitting on a burner. For this reason, all of their dishes must be scrubbed before they are u...

The Ronkonkoma Hub could create a reverse commute from New York City image: tritec They’ve been called the selfie generation, entitled and lazy. But Millennials are now the largest generation and, after a decade of moving away from New York’s metro Long Island region , they are beginning to stick around. The number of people aged 20 to 34 living on Long Island rose 7 .6 percent from 2010 to 2015 according to a report released by Long Island Association in June. Despite the stereotypes, experts see the increase as reason for optimism. “It’s vitally important, particularly for businesses that make their home here,” said Robert Loscalzo, the chief operating officer of Tritec Real Estate Company, which specializes in the type of mixed-use housing this generation favors. “You need a vibrant workforce and from the standpoint of job creation it’s vital that companies have a source of labor.” But a home doesn’t necessarily mean a house, especially for Millennials. Nationwide, 34.1 percent of...

“We went from a 3,000-square-foot colonial with three floors to a single-story, 1,400-square- foot living space ,” said Tena Bluhm, 76, formerly of Fairfax, Va. She and her 77-year-old husband, Ray Bluhm, moved this month to a retirement community in Lake Ridge, Va. Before the move, their two adult children took a handful of items, including a new bed and a dining table and chairs. But Mrs. Bluhm could not interest them in “the china and the silver and the crystal,” her own generation’s hallmarks of a properly furnished, middle-class home. The competitive accumulation of material goods , a cornerstone of the American dream, dates to the post- World War II economy , when returning veterans fled the cities to establish homes and status in the suburbs. Couples married when they were young, and wedding gifts were meant to be used — and treasured — for life. “Americans spent to keep up with the Joneses, using their possessions to make the statement that they were not failing in their caree...

AP Fifty years ago this week, Detroit joined Newark and over 100 other American cities by erupting in chaos after lingering racial tensions thunder -clapped one of the most violent and devastating riots in American history. As part of that year's " long hot summer ," the Motor City destruction drew approximately 7 , 000 National Guard and U.S. Army troops in response to the city's havoc. By its conclusion, 43 people had been killed, mostly black citizens at the hands of law enforcement; thousands more had been injured or arrested; and roughly $300 million (in 2017 dollars) in damage had been inflicted with nearly 1,400 buildings burned. Initiated by a vice raid on a 12th Street "blind pig" – an illegal after- hours club operating without a liquor license – the 1967 Detroit ...

Quizzes Lists Topics Save The Saxony Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Located along Ninth Street in the city's downtown, [1] this five- story brick building includes a distinctive range of architectural details. Among these elements are brick pilasters and projections, a three- story bay window on each side of the symmetrical main facade , semicircular balconies , and many stone pieces, such as pediments, keystones, and stringcourses. Due to its location at the intersection of Ninth and Race Streets, the Saxony appears to have two fronts: one onto each street.
