Durham may have saved Antonio Brown

Imagine being away from home for the first time, just a teenager in a new state, surrounded by a bunch of people you don’t know. Now picture a few months into your time in your new state, a state where you are slow to trust those around you, not one, but two of your best friends are murdered less than a month apart. That’s the real world nightmare Antonio Brown faced when he arrived in Durham in the winter of 2014. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Brown grew up in an area where, as he put it, people were trying to make a name for themselves by any means. Those means weren’t always positive. Sometimes a way out, or a way to become well known was sports. Other times, more times than not, it was through violence, earning a reputation on the streets one way or another. “It’s not a lot of stuff for us to do, period,” Brown said. “Especially not positive. Most of the kids down there see ball or rapping as their only way of getting out. At my high school not even football is a way out, so...

Shots Fired in an Apartment Complex in McKinney, TX

Image
It happened in my apartment complex Thursday afternoon in Mckinney, TX between 4pm-4:30pm. I did not arrive at my apartment until around 6:30pm, but from the pictures that I took, the police were still there quartering off part of the area with yellow tape. A total of six cop cars and two unmarked cars were there with detectives and forensics investigating the scene. Upon walking up to one of the cops, he quickly told me that everything was ok and after I repeatedly asked him the question and told him that I lived here and had a right to know, he rose his tone and then said, if you want to know, talk to the manager of the complex.   That would be nice, except that the manager of the complex was gone for the day. So I know that if I ask management what happened tomorrow, I will get a pass the ball response, in which they will most likely tell me to contact the police for information. Therefore, since it is going on now, I’d feel better to sleep at night if I knew what was happening NOW...

Observer Ups the Ante with the Layers Of Fear Format in a Dystopian Future

Image
There have been some clunkers on the horror front this year. From intriguing concepts falling short of executing their primary conceits to flops that just weren't quite ready for full release, 2017 hasn't been the best year for horror games.  And after the bigger-but-less-scary Outlast 2  tried admirably to give us backwoods hillbilly scares but being slightly detached, the horror fan base is ready for something more personal and mind-bending -- and that's what you get with Bloober Team's  Observer. Boiled down to its component parts, this is  Layers of Fear meets SOMA  but in a futuristic noir detective story . Want a more horror-themed version of Blade Runner ? Well, you've got it now. You can check out our full Observer game review below but if you're looking for guides instead, check out our walkthroughs here: A Dark, Alternate Future Observer has style in spades. It's abundantly clear from the intro movie that's a bit like a cross between the...

Preserve at Baywood Apartments - 14 Photos & 11 Reviews - Apartments - 8300 Red Bluff, Pasadena, TX - Phone Number

11 8300 Red Bluff Pasadena , TX 77507 (281) 991-5200 Beautiful apartments, nice walking areas , great dog park , and in a great location. All the cardio equipment in the fitness center at Preserve at Baywood phase 1 is broken. I' ve submitted work orders multiple times , but nothing is being done to fix this issue. Phase 1 residents do not have access to the phase 2 gym except during business hours. This is very inconvenient.

The apartment is in a quiet location yet close to pretty much all the stores you need to do your day to day activities.

Rent control rumored to be driving apartment sales | News

Mountain View's rent- control program has already survived political and legal trials -- but what about the business test? An increasing number of apartment owners appear to be cashing out rather than working under the new restrictions. If the trend continues, some say it will lead to a cascade of redevelopment spearheaded by large corporate buyers . This scenario would result in older apartments being phased out and replaced with new housing that is exempt from rent control. Those looking at the data with a more critical eye point out that sales of apartment buildings are up throughout the South Bay, and that the number of buyers indicates a healthy interest in investing in Mountain View housing , regardless of rent control. To take one example, Fremont residents Ann and Paul Lethers decided in June to sell their 18-unit complex on Del Medio Avenue in Mountain View, which they created from separate purchases of two adjacent nine-unit buildings. They say they h...

How Sweep It Is: Scrappers earn 3-game lead over West Virginia

Related Coverage YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Nearly 13,000 students are coming back to Youngstown State ’s campus for the start of fall classes and there’s been an increase in the number of new students. Family, classes, and convenience — just three of the reasons students say they come to YSU. Many things have changed at the university but excitement for the first day of classes has stayed the same. There are 2,300 new freshmen on campus this fall — an increase from last year and one of the largest freshman classes in three decades. Swegan said that’s because people are more aware and concerned about the cost of college and debt. “We’re sitting here in the State of Ohio with the most reasonably-priced tuition. I think people are seeing the value.” Student Jeffery Logan said he loves the party-like atmosphere. “Everything is awesome, man, it’s really cool.” His friend, Brittany Schnellbach, said she’s ready for class, too. “This is my last first day. There’s a lot of stuff going on her...

“Nocturne,” the Podcast That Explores the Night

“Nocturne,” a podcast that’s “peering into the dusty corners of the night,” as its tagline tells us, is hosted and produced by the independent Bay Area producer Vanessa Lowe . Lowe co-created the show with her husband, Kent Sparling , who works in film sound and who composes much of the show’s evocative music. Episodes begin with the chirping of crickets, the hooting of an owl, and a bit of music by Sparling that makes you want to wander out into a shadowy wood and explore. The show has a nocturnal mood, atmospheric and occasionally mysterious, that feels just right between the hours of eleven and deepest dark. Lowe has described the show as “essay radio”; most episodes tell stories. She plays with form from episode to episode. A few are impressionistic, like “ A Catalogue of Nights ,” featuring recordings of night sounds from across the world. Some are rather funny, like “(This Is Not) A Love Song ,” about people’s love for and loathing of mockingbirds. We hear intensive longer storie...

Stripped Bare

How I told my mom I was a stripper, and her surprising reaction. More From Lenny Letter No. 100 4 articles Aug 22, 2017 Sally Nixon Advertisement - Continue Reading Below When I first decided to strip in the grubby clubs in the Tenderloin, I lived in a tiny square room in a dilapidated Victorian apartment with three other roommates I'd met on Craigslist. My room had a legal-pad-sized window with a view of a drippy gutter. I slept on a borrowed mattress on a dusty hardwood floor . It was the 1995, pre-tech, perma-fog, home-of–Queer Nation, Food Not Bombs, underground-gay-sex-clubs, needle- exchange San Francisco . I was always moments from getting evicted. Each month, I begged the landlord for one more week, until finally I came home to a note on my door from my roommates asking me to please move out.
