| Restore vs. Raze
A rundown but largely intact DUTCH COLONIAL with clapboard and shingle siding at 1522 E. JEFFERSON ST. was built in 1902 and purchased in 1909 by George Washington Carmack, the Yukon prospector who was for many years believed to have discovered the gold that set off the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush. This is the last tangible link to a person whose pioneering spirit had an enormous impact on Seattle, stimulating its growth from a backwater into a sophisticated metropolis with international trade links. It stands in the path of future Swedish Hospital expansion and will not survive without community interest and, perhaps, a move. .
Plaster has right to develop land
In my opinion it is more likely that he will develop townhouses, shopping centers, standalone homes, or maybe even a gambling casino. As reported recently, rare Indian artifacts have been discovered on that acreage. Being a Native American Ancestral Habitation, the tribe that the relics belong to can designate this as a Native American Reservation. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs governs these properties. No state, county, or local laws apply within the Reservation boundaries. You can even gamble on these lands! Ever speculate why the "fat cat entertainers" of Branson preach against gambling casinos? Is it because they do not want wicked gambling social establishments in their backyard corrupting the family atmosphere of their city? Or might it be because they would be forced to lower their admission fees in order to compete? Capitalism, free enterprise and personal property rights, they are beautiful things!

Food prices will rise, says Woolworths CEO
Last week, inflation rose to three per cent in 2007, latest official figures show. Tightening the belt Financial markets now expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to lift interest rates next Tuesday to head off price pressures in the economy. Mr Luscombe said there is "no doubt that discretionary spending be be tough" in the months ahead, particularly in those suburbs in the mortgage belt areas. But Woolworths' strategy for its BIG W variety chain was "going well", and Mr Luscombe noted higher foot traffic in the stores. BIG W's first half sales grew by 13.1 per cent to $1.187 billion. Analysts pointed to Woolworths' plan to ramp up the refurbishment of its stores and include more private labels. "This is much higher margin for Woolworths, so they are effectively forcing the private label down the throat of the consumer," an analyst said.
Livermore draws tenants downtown
LIVERMORE A retail and office project that was fashioned to help spark a downtown revival here has nearly filled up its shopping and dining spaces and is finding tenants for its offices. The $24 million Livermore Valley Plaza development, bolstered by an adjacent cinema complex and performing arts center, is now a key piece of the downtown puzzle. Developed by Michael Madden, son of Oakland Raiders legend and football broadcaster John Madden, the 75,000-square-foot plaza has helped a more lively downtown emerge from its moribund past. "You have a movie theater, the performing arts center, some new restaurants, other stuff going on there," developer Michael Madden said. "These projects have really shifted the dynamic of downtown Livermore." The 13-screen movies and the live artscenter were especially crucial.
Adams: Yes, I'm interested in Saints job
Obviously the Sam Alladyces etc are outside of our budget and Glenn Hoddel might not be too committed, so that brings us to Chris Coleman and/or Steve Cotterill. Both have proven records of achieveing reasonable sucess with limited budgets, but I am not sure if the players that we have would give them their total respect! Definitely not Billy Davies for me, not becasue of the Derby play off history, but I do not like his "kick and rush" approach to playing football. Oh for an Alan Ball and MLT/Shearer "dream ticket". Although both MLT and Shearer are both comfortably established on TV couches, and RIP Alan. I also appreciate that you don't have to have been a great player to make a good manager, a la Gerrard Houlier etc. Good lukc Leon Crouch, please get this decision right! .
IAN GETS MARQUEE
Taconic Partner Charles Bendit said the group will upgrade the three-building complex into an arts-oriented center for non-profits. In addition to offices, there will be an area set aside for art storage and private galleries, and a local retail food market on the order of Chelsea Market. The building, bounded by Lafayette and Garrison avenues and Barretto and Tiffany streets, is south of the Bruckner Expressway and has a black, saw-tooth roof. * For their very first office purchase, sources tell us that Ronnie Hackett's Claret Group and Prudential signed a hard contract to buy 180 Madison Ave. for $150 million, or $540 a foot. The 275,000 square foot building on the southwest corner of East 34th Street will remain offices. Douglas Harmon of Eastdil Secured managed the marketing on behalf of Sitt Asset Management.
