Image
Does the old saying “Location, location, location” really matter to today’s renters? MHN and Kingsley Associates paired up to find out what residents thing about their apartment’s neighborhood. “The location of my apartment is perfect. I love to walk up to Main Street and enjoy the wonderful food from all the different restaurants. It’s also a safe neighborhood to walk dogs in, which is an added bonus.” —Woodstock, Ga. “I love the area here. I feel like I’m within quick range of almost anything I want. The views are beautiful and the area is great for outdoor activities.” —Phoenix “There are major issues with noise in the surrounding area due to the industrial park behind the building. Numerous complaints have yielded no solutions.” —Cambridge, Mass. “I like living near a bus stop and two shopping centers. It’s easy to just walk to these stores from my apartment.” —Chapel Hill, N.C. “The location of this property can’t be fixed by adding bells and whistles. It’s only worth so much a ...

Houston’s Bullet Train Station Should Be in Downtown, Not Northwest Mall – Commentary

Image
Commentary by Ralph Bivins, Editor of Realty News Report . HOUSTON – (Commentary by Ralph Bivins) Houston is about to make a huge mistake with the development of its high-speed train to north Texas. The proposed Texas Central 200 mph rail line that will run from Houston to Dallas has a lot of good things about it. The train will be good for transit, good for the economy and it prepares Houston for the years ahead when the metro area’s population hits 10 million . It’s the train’s terminal location that’s a mistake. The memorandum of understanding, signed Thursday by Mayor Sylvester Turner and Tim Keith, president of Texas Central Partners , reveals that the train’s terminus station will probably be located at the old Northwest Mall property . The close-in mall site would probably be an excellent location for certain kinds of redevelopment, but it’s a questionable place for a transportation hub. If you haven’t shopped at Northwest Mall lately – and not many people have – it’s locate...

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .
