Malta, the island nation just below Sicily, is an increasingly popular stopover

Valletta, Malta’s compact, walkable capital , overlooks its magnificent Grand Harbor . (John McKenna/Alamy Stock Photo) A strategic location can be more curse than blessing. Just ask the Maltese, whose tiny island nation lies 50 miles below Sicily. Early in World War II, when Malta was a British possession, Germany and Italy bombed it almost daily. And centuries earlier it was the site of the Great Siege of 1565, a devastating, yet ultimately unsuccessful, step by the Ottoman Turks toward conquering all of western Europe. For travelers today, Malta’s proximity to Europe’s glamour destinations is a definite plus — if not a widely appreciated one. Often experienced as a day stop on Mediterranean cruises, Malta greatly rewards a longer stay. The 17-by-8-mile island is packed with lovingly restored sites that bring history to life, as my wife and I discovered in mid-May in what served as a perfect four-day prelude to a Venice visit. Beyond its history, Malta’s landscape offers a natu

Downtown Columbus apartment projects proposed in Long-Third area and near CCAD - News - The Columbus Dispatch

Jim Weiker The Columbus Dispatch @JimWeiker Developers propose two new Downtown apartment complexes , one of which would include the renovation of three century-old buildings. The most complex of the two projects would transform almost a block of property into a multi-building residential and retail complex on the north side of E. Long Street east of N. 3rd Street. The proposal includes the renovation of three buildings: a two-story retail and office building at 118 E. Long St.; a four- story empty retail building at 134 E.

Emmy Nominee Michael Kelly on Stopping Self-Doubt, Auditions, and Paying It Forward

Emmy Nominee Michael Kelly on Stopping Self-Doubt, Auditions, and Paying It Forward" /> Photo Source: Matt Doyle It took Michael Kelly seven years before he managed to earn a living as an actor. He was 30 years old. And even then, he didn’t quit his part-time job. It would take a decade more for him to land the role that changed his career. As the laconic Doug Stamper on Netflix’s “House of Cards,” Kelly has proven himself to be the show’s secret weapon, embodying the cruelty of politics that the Kevin Spacey–starring drama so perfectly captures. That belated breakout role , which has earned him an Emmy nomination three years running in the supporting actor in a drama category , has opened plenty of opportunities. But it hasn’t changed the strong work ethic and pragmatic approach that has characterized this working actor’s decades-spanning career. Sharing appetizers mere blocks away from where he’d worked (with a flexible schedule) at a small consignment shop for high-en

Meridian Pointe Apartments - 10 Photos - Apartments - 407 Valley Ave NE, Puyallup, WA - Phone Number

9 407 Valley Ave NE Puyallup , WA 98372 (253) 840-8500 I moved from San Francisco to Puyallup (first mistake, but that is neither here nor there) and ended up in these apartments. First day, walked out on my "porch" to be visually greeted by an exposed beer-belly sitting on a completely upholstered couch , that was on his porch. Guess he didn't get the memo that there is indeed furniture that is made for the outdoors as well as clothing for bellies of that caliber. While this was disturbing, I will admit that there were some pluses to living at Meridian Pointe . Maintenance was pretty punctual about fixing things, neighbors were decent, and location is convenient to the highways. Also, PET FRIENDLY! But, in regards to pets, on my final walk through before moving out, a maintenance guy came to inspect my place, checked my carpet for pet damage, and told me it was in good condition . Then, I was charged for new carpet!? Dislike. Worst apartment ever. Moved in they charged
