With the words well cleaned, well pressed and well dressed hovering in three red arrows above its iconic sign, it’s tough for those passing by Broadway Cleaners in Redwood City to miss it. Built specifically for a dry cleaning business some 57 years ago, the building at 1681 Main St. is a fixture standing where the street dead-ends into El Camino Real . It’s now occupied by lifelong dry cleaners Marti and Jim Russell, who have owned and operated a business there for the past six years. An instructor and third- generation dry cleaner , Marti Russell is no stranger to the business. She has fond memories of helping her father, a dry cleaner himself, sort through hangers as a kid and worked in his Belmont shop while she attended San Mateo High School . Though Marti Russell has logged over 50 years in the business, the stories her customers tell her about the items they are dropping off keep her far from bored. “You just can’t make some of this stuff up,” she said. From helping customers...

PLEASANTON (KPIX 5) — Residents of an apartment complex in Pleasanton have been living in misery. For the past four days, they have lived without running water. After a water main broke late last week, the faucets, toilets and showers at the Springhouse Apartments have been dry. The situation has devolved into porta potties being placed in the parking lot. Flushing is only an option for residents who use water from the pool. “They’ve got one porta pottie for every two buildings,” said resident Casey Evans . “I went to work this morning without taking a shower. It’s gross. It’s not ok,” said Rachael Perez, also a Springhouse resident. People who live at the complex received a notice that said water should be flowing again by 8 p.m. Tuesday, which many are taking with several grains of salt. “Every note that I have says, we’re hoping for tomorrow,” Evans said. Residents said were told that they could get hotel vouchers, which never materialized. People tried to check in to hotels in Pl...

RAVE At a recent musical show at the 5th Avenue Theatre where I was sitting in one of the least expensive seats, an usher approached me and asked if I’d like a better seat. A benefactor always buys an extra ticket to be given to someone who usually doesn’t have the experience of sitting in the best seats and because of this generosity, I sat on the main floor and was so close to the actors that I never had to use my binoculars. I’m still touched by this experience. Thank you! RANT AND RAVE Rant to the woman whose leashed dog bit me on the thigh while I was walking on the Arboretum Waterfront Trail . After some mild hysterics by all of us, I told her I was OK and to go on. Rave to the excellent care I got at a nearby clinic, including a pair of scrub pants, as my pants were torn. I hope the woman sees this to know that my wound healed with no complications, and that she should consider that this pathway is too narrow for walking her dog. RAVE For the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Offic...

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — If you've ever wanted to live in the old Brooklyn home of a notorious gangster, you've got a chance to do it. The Park Slope home where Al Capone used to live is up for sale, and it will only cost you a cool $2.5 million to move in. Capone grew up in a nearby building on Garfield Place, according to realtor.com, and moved into this listing in the early 1900s. "If he had lived here today, he wouldn’t have to go into the rum-running business," listing agent Bren Salamon told Patch . That's because Capone could make some serious dough from the two rental units attached to the condo, which could bring in a pretty penny in 2017 Park Slope . Anyone who moves in, though, won't be looking at any old relics of Brooklyn gone by. The home, as many are in the borough these days, was completely renovated by an investor about a year ago. The main townhouse is 2, 980 square feet spread over two levels. Along with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, t...

A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. [1] River Terrace Apartments was one of the first two garden apartment complexes built in Michigan which used loan guarantees from the Federal Housing Administration , the other being Hillcrest Village in East Lansing. [2] History By the late 19th century , the corridor along East Jefferson Avenue had become a prestigious residential neighborhood .

Reaume, of the property management firm of Holden & Reaume, applied for a building permit to construct this apart...
