Starting at the corner which is now Wine on Third at 501 Third, which has taken over the next three individual store fronts at that address, we first find the McClure’s Drug Store owned by James McClure who lived in Lewiston with wife Janet. David Gleason, DDS occupied 503 Third and he and Lois lived at 808 Ashland Ave. In the same building was Joseph Puerner, MD who resided at 1235 Norwood Ave. with wife Annabelle. Next door at 505 Third we find Billings Mutual Insurance Agency and Remington Rand , Inc. William E. Billings, the manager, was well known for many years in the insurance business .

When it comes to dorm decor, there's no doubt that some people just do it better than others. Some people are born with the design gene, and some of us just fake it enough so that our Instagram vignettes look good on our grid — there's no shame in it. Luckily for those of us who can't conjure a Pinterest-perfect room from a simple trip to Target, we have Instagram for inspiration, and even dorm designers who will give you the room of your dreams.

She's since become a go-to for gorgeous dorm decor in Mississippi and at colleges across the country. She draws inspiration from Pinterest and her cli...

Johnson Chrome was a notorious big spender with a taste for bottle service , bespoke suits and $10,000 shoes. The source of his wealth? A sophisticated identity theft scheme that may have conned Torontonians out of millions. The untold story of the city’s most wanted fraudster Photographs: All portraits via Facebook; background by iStock T he fraudster who called himself Johnson Chrome liked to sit on a bench at the intersection of Hazelton and Yorkville, smoking a Montecristo Edmundo robusto and talking about fashion, cars and cigars to anyone who’d listen. He was charming and handsome, with a neatly trimmed beard , a shaved head and perfect teeth. The perch placed him at the centre of the rarefied universe he’d come to inhabit.
