The 234 Apartment

White Sox prospect Jake Burger is becoming an adult one step at a time. On the field, Burger, the No. 12 prospect in the Sox’ farm system, seemingly has made a smooth transition to pro baseball. Off the field, the 6-2, 210-pound third baseman is living with six teammates in a three-bedroom apartment and sleeping on an air mattress in their living room. “The adjustment hasn’t been too terrible, especially on the field. I think the biggest adjustment has been the off-field stuff. You’re setting your own schedule,” Burger said before joking about his new living situation in Kannapolis, North Carolina. White Sox prospect Jake Burger hit a cycle on Thursday. | Paul Beaty/Associated Press Burger had a whopper of a game Thursday night , getting his first career cycle in the Kannapolis Intimidators’ 6-5 victory against the Greensboro Grasshoppers. The slugger out of Missouri State, who was selected 11th overall in June, started his cycle with a single in the second inning. From there, Burger...

Cities are neighborhoods writ large . They ebb up and down, depending on who is moving in and out. They proclaim their attractions, hide their warts, burnish their numbers. After all, real estate values ride on the telling. In the chest-thumping of the Bay Area, San Jose has always sought to distance itself from Oakland. San Jose was bigger, richer, safer. With one horrible event last week, however, a piece of that myth vanished. And we’re left pondering the irony. I’m talking about the killing of off- duty Oakland firefighter Jake P. Walter, 30, who was shot to death last Thursday night outside a night market on the edge of San Jose’s Japantown. Police called it a random and unprovoked attack. In San Jose, we suppose things unfold very differently.  A random attack like this might occur elsewhere in the Bay Area, but not in a vibrant San Jose neighborhood filled with upscale apartments. And it would never take a firefighter, one of the good guys. Under former Mayor Ron Gonzales , ...

MT. PLEASANT, MI -- Kayakers paddled thhrough the parking lot of Timber Creek Apartments in Mount Pleasant Friday , June 23, as residents there scrambled to seek refuge from flash-flood waters for the night at an American Red Cross shelter . "There were people kayaking in the parking lot (yesterday)," said Joe Allen, a resident at Timber Creek. Timber Creek neighbors and people from Park Place Apartments were the largest group Saturday morning , June 24, at the shelter in Mount Pleasant High School .

Isabella County declared a state of emergency Friday, along with Midland and Bay counties. The declaration is a step toward getting state and federal funding to repair damage from the floodi...

Fish, most of them the length of an outstretched hand outstretched , seem to know Tea Hoffmann. They form a school at the sound of footsteps on her dock. They wait in the shallows for morsels of cereal or bread. And shallower and shallower they are. “I’m all for people selling their property, making money and all of that,” said Hoffmann, one of six homeowners with docks on a small cove off Mill Creek. “I do not want them just clearing everything and making this cove fill up with dirt.” Hoffmann moved to the area five years ago, but she hadn’t seen anything like what she did Monday. Rain fell, and water began rushing from a construction site at the head of the cove. Only it wasn’t just water. Hoffmann photographed and videoed muddy water pouring into the lake. “That’s the first day that it happened,” Hoffmann said. “It even stained the rocks, it was so bad.” Apartments have been under construction just beside Senator Road for a few months. When it rains, water runs into the lake. But...

[embedded content] Two D.C. police officers have been taken off the streets and put on desk duty after they were caught on video disparaging a crime victim and appearing to misbehave at the scene of a burglary. Authorities said the 7th District officers are targets of an internal investigation that began after a man returned home from a trip earlier this month and watched his private surveillance video of a burglary that occurred Aug. 8 and left his apartment ransacked. The video shows not only a man using a rock to shatter a rear glass door but also the officers who came to investigate. Twice, one officer appears to break out into a brief jig while another officer can be heard commenting that the victim “is probably gay.” That is followed by laughter. The video of the officers was first reported by WRC-TV on Thursday night. D.C. police had earlier posted a video of the burglar breaking the door and ransacking the apartment in the 400 block of Woodcrest Drive SE . The resident...

WALTHAM — The massive fire that destroyed a big apartment complex under construction in Waltham in July was caused by arson, investigators said Thursday, with damages estimated at $110 million. Initially, fire officials had said they did not believe the 10-alarm fire was suspicious. But once they began investigating the charred remains in detail, they began to rethink the cause, Fire Chief Paul Ciccone said. Advertisement “We systematically eliminated all possible causes,” said the state’s fire marshal, Peter J. Ostroskey. “That led us to this point.” The blaze began in the early morning on Sunday, July 23, and demolished the five-building complex on Cooper Street near the Charles River.
