200 Americans Living in North Korea Must Get Out by Sept. 1

Image
When American doctor Stephen Yoon thinks of North Korea, he does not think of ballistic missile tests or the threat of nuclear war. He remembers instead a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, who suffered from spastic quadriplegia that made her unable to stand or sit. Five years ago, she went to Yoon's developmental-disability program at Pyongyang Medical University Hospital , where she received treatments from Yoon and his team of local doctors. After almost a year of exercise therapy and some surgeries, she walked out of the hospital on her own. The event was heralded in North Korean state media as a national victory, but it received no notice in the U.S., where few people even know about the roughly 200 Americans like Yoon who work and live under the rule of Kim Jong Un. Carefully monitored by the regime, they have come and gone for years, doing educational, medical or infrastructural work, and sometimes raising families in a nation that has been officially at war with the ...

For $1.6M, a 1780s stone house in the Palisades that may have been George Washington's office

Image
This 18th century stone house , located in the upscale area of the Palisades known as Snedens Landing, was under the care of the landscape designer and photographer Judy Tompkins for some 60 years until she passed away at age 90 this May. But long before, it’s rumored the property served as George Washington’s office when his men were guarding the ferry service from the cliffs of the Palisades. With a rich history, beautiful interiors, and gorgeous perennial gardens tended to by Tomkins, it’s a special offering in a town right outside New York City. And it’s now asking $1.6 million. Judy’s 60-year-old perennial gardens surround the home and spill out onto almost an acre of land. From the lawns, there are Hudson River views . 75 Washington Spring Road " width="1024" height="682" /> There are two terraces and a sun room. Outdoor space is a huge element of the home design, with a fluidity between the indoors and outdoors. That was accomplished with a 1930s h...

River Terrace is a modest jewel tucked away in NE Washington

Image
River Terrace in Northeast Washington is a modest, under-the-radar neighborhood of neat rowhouses, duplexes and a few rental apartment buildings . It’s quiet because the streets are exclusively residential, with no through traffic and limited entry points , and it is one of the few places in the city where you can find a home for less than $300,000. “It’s really an oversized cul-de-sac,” said Patrick Hughes, a resident since 2002 with his partner, Chris Quinones. The lush grounds of Anacostia Park and River Terrace Park and well-designed trails along the Anacostia River are neighborhood perks that provide residents with exceptional quality-of-life benefits — green space, fresh air, shade under the trees, a playground and water vistas. “We walk the dog along the trails. I ran there this morning, and I often bike there. We have season tickets to the Nationals and pick up a bike share and ride to Eastern Market and Navy Yard,” said Jessica Jones Capparell , who moved there with R...

As the automobile age dawned in the twentieth century and Detroit's population boomed, large upscale apartment buildings were constructed along the Avenue. However, this boom in apartment construction collapsed at the start of the Great Depression. However, in 1939, Wesson Seyburn, along with Leonard P. Reaume, of the property management firm of Holden & Reaume, applied for a building permit to construct this apart...
