Apartment Choice

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - The Village Park Woodgate Apartments have been at the center of two headlines for murder in just a few months which has at least one resident wanting to move. Two people have been killed by alleged suspects with guns, one in October and another in December at the apartment complex. One resident says she no longer feels safe . “I do not, not any more,” the unidentified woman said.

Yum I love January.  Just like I love Mondays.  I may be the odd one out, because I know that the holidays have just ended and kids have gone back to school and we’ve all had to go back to “normal” life. But I am a new beginnings kind of girl. I love the feeling of a clean slate – a chance to start over.  And that’s what January feels like to me – a time to regroup and refresh and get priorities in line again. Every year that I’ve been blogging, I’ve sat down at the end of December/beginning of January and made a blogging goal.  Not on the business side, but on the fun si...

“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...

THE CHIMNEY-CORNER FOR 1866. VIII. HOW SHALL WE ENTERTAIN OUR COMPANY? “T he fact is," said Marianne, "we must have a party. Bob don't like to hear of it, but it must come. We are in debt to everybody: we have been invited everywhere, and never had anything like a party since we were married, and it won't do." "For my part, I hate parties," said Bob. "They put your house all out of order, give all the women a sick-headache, and all the men an indigestion; you never see anybody to any purpose; the girls look bewitched, and the women answer you at cross-purposes, and call you by the name of your next-door neighbor, in their agitation of mind. We stay out beyond our usual bedtime, come home and find some baby crying, or child who has been sitting up till nobody knows when; and the next morning, when I must be at my office by eight, and wife must attend to her children, we are sleepy and headachy. I protest against making overtures to entrap some hund...
