L. Glenn Switzer Contractor 1930 (Photo taken April 29, 2024 on Glenalbyn Dr. & Glenmuir Ave.)

According to the Los Angeles Times, L. Glenn Switzer died at the age of 96 on July 11, 1990, so he was born in either 1894 or 1893. He started "the first ready-mix concrete company in Southern California" in Pasadena in 1930. The company, Transit Mixed Concrete Co., worked "at construction sites throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial counties," in addition to manufacturing concrete blocks and panels. He was a Quaker and was "president of the national Conference of Quaker Men" in 1954" ("L. Glenn Switzer; Formed Ready-Mix Concrete Firm." Los Angeles Times, July 22, 1990.

In 1941, L. Glenn Switzer was the manager of Transit Mixed Concrete Co. They had multiple locations including 1000 North La Brea in Los Angeles, 3492 E Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena, and 780 Union Pacific Place, which doesn't currently exist but I think may be in Commerce, CA (Los Angeles City Directory 1941, Los Angeles City Directory Co., 1941).

In an advertisement in 1945, Transit Mixed Concrete Co described themselves as "Pioneers of Transit-Mixed Concrete in Southern California" (Southwest Builder and Contractor, Volume 106, F. W. Dodge Company, 1945).

According to Switzer v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, United States Tax Court, June 30, 1953, 20 T.C. 759 (U.S.T.C. 1953), L. Glenn Switzer and Howard A. Switzer were partners in the company in 1944-45. Their respective wives were Ida H. and Florence M. Apparently they didn't commit fraud with intent to evade tax, but the husbands were deficient due to negligence.

We learn from Find a Grave that L. was Lewis. He was born in Iowa in on June 26, 1894 and died in L.A. County on July 11, 1990. He is buried in Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena, CA. His wife, Ida, was born in Iowa and they married on December 29, 1915 in Marshall, Iowa. They had at least two sons (Elmo Glenn, Eugene Lewis) and one daughter (Mayme Elizabeth). She lived in Pasadena in the 1940 and 1950 censuses. She died on October 18, 1987 and was also buried in Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena, CA.

Howard Allison Switzer was Lewis's brother (they also had four other siblings: Elias Claire, Gladys Lucile, Richard Kent, and Florence Eliza) and co-founder. He was born on July 30 or 31, 1908 in Ladora, Iowa and died on January 7, 1997 in Los Angeles, CA. He is also buried at Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena, CA (Find a Grave). Their parents were Richard Martin Switzer and Carrie Estella Lewis. (The photo above is Howard in the 1920s, probably in Long Beach, CA, and was submitted to Find a Grave by 'jmb'.) According to his obituary in the Los Angeles Times, he had moved to Long Beach, CA in 1920 with his parents and sister. "He joined his father and older brother in their concrete contracting company after graduating from Long Beach High School." This company was a predecessor to Transit Mix Concrete Company, which, according to the same obituary, was "credited with using the first concrete mixer trucks, which prepare the concrete to be poured once it gets to the job site" (January 9, 1997). Howard moved to Pasadena in 1932 and married Florence.

She lived to 105 and had lived her whole life in Pasadena, CA! They had four sons: Forrest, Roy, Marshall, and Norman. She was "known as Flossie to most of her friends." ("Florence Switzer Obituary," Pasadena Star-News).

Currently thinking about Disney's Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Watching modern Disney films always makes me think about it; about the things we've lost in the pursuit of one arbitrary definition of "progress". We are, today, all of us, be we audience or executive, slave to the here and now. The trends, the hot new things. It's a major problem in the culture, with how we view art as "dated" or "old-fashioned" as being objectively ontologically inferior, lesser than, destined to be consigned to the dustbin of history.

But it's all arbitrary. Why don't we do traditional animation in America anymore? Because it isn't financially viable? How do you know when you haven't done it for serious in almost thirty years? How do you know when the last time you DID try, you intentionally then refused to market the films properly and released them in competition with surefire smash hits?

The heads at Disney and many other executive types at other film companies (obligatory David Zaslav reference, there you go, there's your obligatory boogeyman reference) aren't film fans. The days of people like Dino De Laurentiis who loved cinema being in charge are over. These people are venture capital vultures; they're Silicon Valley types obsessed with Now, Now, Now. Legacy and tradition, to these men, is just another thing to market and sell to folks. It means nothing to them except as another commodity (hence the live action remakes, but I don't want to get caught up in them every time I try to write something about the art form I love.)

Modern critiques of the film miss the forest for - not even the trees - the leaves and the branches. It's light on story. Okay? Lots of movies are, because cinema is a medium where narrative can often not be as important as what's literally happening on-screen, and what's happening beneath the surface, the subtext of the story. Most importantly, some critics engage with this film on a purely logical level, and refuse to engage with the emotional level. For many films, you can do this; many films work on both levels, though less than you'd think, especially as time marches on and cinema is overtaken by

T H E F I L M I N D U S T R Y [Bach's Toccata and Fugue's opening notes blare out]

But many films, especially in animation, work almost exclusively on the emotional dream logic, and no film more depends on this kind of lens and has such mastery within that framework than Snow White, to this day. The entire point of the film, the modus operandi, was to make clear to moviegoing audiences that a cartoon was capable of the same high drama as live-action. Nobody bought it, and were blown away when it changed the world. I would argue, to this day, however, the audience didn't actually get the point. Animation is treated as kids stuff, and it wasn't for lack of trying by Walt to change that. That was part of the point of Snow White - it's why the film is not just intensely happy but intensely scary, heavy, sad. It had to encompass the full spectrum of emotion, and that seems silly now, mostly because cinema has been so thoroughly influenced by Snow White, its influence is growing harder and harder to truly appreciate with each passing generation.

I would argue that, in many ways, animation failed to meet the promise of Snow White. In glimmers and bursts, films by Disney would match the emotional power of Snow White. Pinocchio was mostly up to the challenge - though the animation, even then, was noticeably worse. Fantasia is, I think, the only film that truly rose up to and beyond Snow White. The sheer emotional powerhouse of A Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria is one of the greatest sequences in, bluntly, cinema. And it flopped. Audiences didn't gel with it, and the film's timing in release couldn't have been worse, with certain events in world history resulting in parts of Europe that would've adored the film unable to see it. Because of the Nazis. (We'll get to the Nazi thing with Snow White, be patient.) Fantasia's failure rocked Walt and the onset of WWII forced him to shift into doing wartime propaganda in order to keep the lights on. He wanted Fantasia to be an active ongoing cultural project, where every year, it'd be re-released with new material. It still could've been, perhaps, after the war. But the free market spoke, so Walt just gave up on that dream, as he did many other dreams.

From there, it's no use comparing many of his later films to Snow White. They never did, and Walt knew it, and he hated it, and it killed his artistic spirit. Even when he tried, with his last true passion project, Sleeping Beauty, it flopped. Critics were lukewarm on it. Audiences didn't go see it. Now we see it as its own kind of animated triumph. It gave us Maleficent, one of the best characters ever made in animation. But that's now. At the time, the consensus was a bemused shrug. It was good - but it's not Snow White.

That refrain - it was good, but it's no Snow White - haunted Walt Disney across his career; no other film was ever quite good enough for the audience in comparison, and it drove him nuts. He saw people demanded Snow White, but whenever he made a film of a similar spirit, it wasn't ever good enough. Meanwhile, the films they made to keep the lights on while working on Sleeping Beauty were doing solid business and not getting needlessly nitpicked by bad faith criticism.

You can see his surrender reflected in the films post-Sleeping Beauty. He wasn't even really involved in the films anymore beyond a certain point. He got obsessed with the billionaire pipe dream of the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow, EPCOT, and it consumed him up until the lung cancer ended him. The narratives stopped demanding anything from the audience. They got all the dumb kiddy jokes they wanted, with none of the pathos and point. The darkness found in Snow White had become mere shadows by the time of Jungle Book.

(Revisiting this a day later)

You know, I talk like this? Less coherently and with more cussing, but these kind of tangents. You know? Not a good essayist; nor would I call myself one. I'm a rambler, and I rambled so hard just now I completely lost track of the point I was trying to make. I was going to gush about the film's deft mastery of tone. I mentioned it, but I didn't really get into it. How filmmakers that tried to make a film like Snow White focused so much on the darkness - a vital part of the experience, granted - that they forgot the joy and levity necessary to balance things. Or even the reverse; a preoccupation with joy and levity without the necessary darkness.

Don Bluth made a couple films which mastered this balance of tone, especially in his brief but potent collaboration with Steven Spielberg. The Secret of NIMH's levity is less saccharine than Snow White's, but he and his team displayed true mastery over the emotional pallet they chose to work within. It only gets really cheerful at the end, as Don so loved to do, in his belief that children can handle any kind of story as long as all ends happily. This mastery, thanks in large part (but not exclusively I must stress) to powers outside his control, was all but gone by the time of A Troll in Central Park. This is a film with all the saccharine tooth-rotting sweetness of Snow White with nary a dark tone in sight. And it tanks the narrative. Perfect for single-digit aged children, and nothing more than a strange curio, a case study to examine for adults. You can't have such an extreme sweet tone without its counterpart extremity.

A little phrase I'm coining, inspired by a line from Kingdom Hearts: the brighter the light in the narrative shines, the deeper and more profound the shadows must be, in reaction.

You can't have the Seven Dwarfs without the Queen, nor the Queen without the Seven Dwarfs.

Compare Troll in Central Park to a film that has the opposite problem - an intensity of darkness that doesn't allow light to gleam appropriately, especially in light of its surprisingly intense subject matter. A film explicitly stated to be following in the lineage of Grimm fairy tales and Walt Disney's early filmography, but perhaps learned the wrong lessons from. I actually still like this film quite a lot for what it tried to do, and maybe another time I'll write something more balanced about it. But this is a rant about tone, so, no punches pulled here:

Andrei Konchalovsky's Nutcracker in 3D is a film seemingly universally despised by what few people actually bothered to go see the damn thing. It's gained a notoriety almost entirely built off its concept - it's that Nutcracker film with the Nazi rats and a VERY unsubtle Holocaust allegory. Having actually seen the film, my views on it are more nuanced, but that's a rant for another time. I do not dislike the film's intended message, and the dark places the story goes are directions that, bluntly, family films haven't felt comfortable exploring in decades. Konchalovsky's mastery over the darkness his narrative calls for is exceptional. The Nazi rats are portrayed as bumbling, neurotic, but heartless. And New Yorkers for some reason. But the narrative does a poor job communicating the joy, the hope, the love, that enabled people to oppose the darkness of fascism, and keep hope in the face of evil. There is a single beautiful sequence where the main character Mary dances with snowflake spirits. It serves no plot purpose; it's just there to be beautiful (and to lay some lip service to the Tchaikovsky ballet). I say that affectionately, not as criticism. The film needed more scenes like this where the characters are reminded of the beauty of the world, of the magic in living that fascists would extinguish. There's a lovely melancholy little scene where Mary's Uncle Albert (played by Nathan Lane basically as a cartoon Albert Einstein) is confronted by her parents (played by Richard E. Grant and Andrei Konchalovsky's opera singer wife) who want him to stop filling Mary's mind with fantasy stories and to stop visiting her, so she can be prepared for "the real world". The song he sings here (another thing this film is notorious for, for some reason, the musical numbers) is Albert reminding Mary's father that he used to be a child too, that he had his own childlike wonder that he embodied in a pebble he kept on his person that was the most valuable thing to him in the world - until he lost it, and gradually, slowly but surely, he grew up, and the pebble was abandoned. Mary's father is in tears by the end, and it moves me too. Albert found his pebble, it turns out, and returns it to him. It's a lovely little scene - melancholy, but ultimately hopeful. The movie needed more scenes like this. But there are very few.

I neglected to mention up 'till now the pacing required for emotional stories like this. Emotional pacing. Snow White does this masterfully, and yet simply: for every dark scene with the Queen, there is a noticeably happy little scene immediately following it. At the end of the film, the tone hits its darkest depths. The Queen triumphs even in death; Snow White is seemingly dead. The Dwarfs mourn, even Grumpy who once loathed her (the real gut punch of the mourning sequence). And yet, in the end, her Prince has come, and a kiss that was likely intended as a parting kiss of affection miraculously saves her life. The Queen never considered that anyone could love Snow White, and indeed, love seemed to be the furthest thing from her mind at all times. Everyone cheers, everyone delights, the music is pure euphoria and relief. Snow White bids farewell to her dear friends, and rides off into the sunset with her Prince, away to his castle, seemingly nestled into the very clouds and lit in heavenly light. Her proverbial salvation heightened into the literal.

The darkness and the light in the narrative should respond in kind to each other. The more the heroes love and make merry, the more intimidating the darkness seems when it returns. And yet, the shadows inevitably give way to the light, even if just for a time, and when the light comes back, it shines even brighter than before. By the end, the terror and evil merely implied by the darkness has manifested itself and become all too real. Snow White is dead. And yet, even in her death, there is light yet to be found. The Christian allegory in Snow White seems obvious. She is resurrected by the Prince's love and taken to his heavenly palace nestled in the clouds. It's not very subtle once you notice it. But subtlety has no place in an emotional narrative. To hit the emotions, you gotta go big, grand, operatic even.

All that to say: The Nutcracker in 3D fails at properly balancing the emotional pallet, at the emotional pacing. The tone is reserved for the first half-hour, occasionally cheerful, but restrained by the reality of 1930s Vienna. Once the Rats enter the picture, the mood is overwhelmed by darkness - as it should be, when Nazis are involved. But the light of the narrative doesn't shine bright enough in response. There's some dumb comedy to lighten the mood, but it doesn't land. It only succeeds at pulling off a triumphant tone when the Rats are finally chased away. The celebratory sing there is quite good. Sir Tim Rice isn't a slouch. But there's too few scenes in-between the Rats' entrance into the picture and their exit where hope and light are allowed to show themselves. Konchalovsky was so caught up in accurately conveying the pervasive fear and terror of living under a totalitarian regime, he forgot to give proper time to the persistence of joy and hope that leads to said regime's downfall. He was so caught up in communicating the horror of the Holocaust in a way children could grasp, he neglected to show the hope and persistence in the belief in justice that allowed people to live through such awful times.

I of course must bring up, however, that Snow White was, ironically enough, adored by the Nazis, especially Hitler who considered it one of his favorite films, at least publicly. We'll never know if he actually loved the film or if he recognized the Germanic romanticization of the film itself lent itself unfortunately well to their ambitions of Germanic Aryan supremacy. I wonder if Walt knew his masterpiece was beloved by a monster such as Hitler. I am suddenly struck by the realization that emotional storytelling can be used BY evil, just as much as it can be used in opposition to it.

But that's a matter for me to privately contemplate on. I can plainly see I'm not able to tackle that subject yet. Truth be told, I feel like I barely managed the topic here and now.

My point being: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a masterpiece for a reason. It may be hard for younger generations to grasp that, but I'm part of them too, and I got it. The old ways of storytelling aren't inherently worse or lesser than. They have their value even now; these stories just aren't allowed to be told and to succeed. They're consigned to a damned niche market, an inherently lesser than affair. I dunno, I think that stinks. Storytelling today is afraid to be emotionally open, largely in response to a traumatized miserable populace who has grown comfortably numb, and reject things that make them feel, even if it makes you unambiguously happy, because once you feel one thing, you tend to feel lots of other emotions too - darker emotions. I should know, I've been there many times. What a tragic state of affairs we're in today. We should build a society where emotions are as open in our art as they are in the audience. We shouldn't be numb. Numbness is next to death.

ENTRY 342

The first two pics are from the original post, the third is mine. I don't really think I've ever had this type of conversation before with chosen family or friends. Sure, grandparents have been discussed plenty of times but "grandma's house" in specific, can't recall.

Worthy of Mention:

I also miss my other grandmother's downtown apartment. What I loved the most about it was the kitchen door that led to nowhere (seriously, keep it locked or you'll fall down four floors), the huge balcony favored by myself and a sweet stray cat that visited often, spending hours in front of the TV playing Road Rash and Sonic on Sega Genesis, and the bathroom which had the coolest bathroom ever. The place over on Boston Ave. I'll always remember being there with my grandmother, father, and uncle.

Moving on...

I had to look up the house to find a recent pic. It's been years since I visited the east coast. I came to the south with my family when I was five but we went back east every summer and winter to celebrate holidays with family and stay in touch with our roots. The best part about visiting Paterson, NJ, aside from the multiple trips to Hot Grill, was my grandmother's house. It has three spacious floors and a basement with its own bar. That house in its entirety was an adventure to me when I was growing up. I remember baking pepperoni bread with my grandmother in the summer and sitting with her on the couch watching shows in the winter.

I miss her voice and the comfort and calmness of her company (my other grandmother too, of course, but this entry is specific to "grandma's house" which is my Sicilian grandmother on my mother's side. My Spanish grandmother on my father's side had the apartment downtown). I miss her cooking, I miss her stories, I even miss those old school clotheslines still attached to the house, had the original pulleys on them and everything. I miss running up and down the stairs between all the floors including the basement. I miss sitting on the porch and looking at the distant view of Garret Mountain. You can see that run-down castle from there on a clear day.

I wanted the house to remain in the family but it was up to my mother, uncle, and aunts. They all just wanted the money. I was heartbroken but there was nothing I could do. Couldn't even argue about it, it just wasn't up to me. Years later and I still think of that house. As a person with trauma, I always desperately look for any good memories from a hard and disappointing life. "Grandma's house" was one of them. I'll never forget it. More thoughts later.

Elora mills resorts

This is your draft blog post featuring the hotel of your choice.

Theme "Excellence in Event Hosting: MICE Practices at flora mills resort

Overview

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions, or MICE for short, is a big part of the hospitality business. It brings in a lot of money and gives hotels a lot of chances to show off their event management skills. This blog post explores the MICE policies of flora mills resorts, a prestigious location known for its outstanding event hosting skills set against the stunning backdrop of the Canadian Rockies.

Important Players

Successful MICE event planning at elora mills requires a committed group of experts, comprising:

**Organizers of Events**: Make sure every component of the event is in line with the client's vision by supervising and coordinating all areas of it.

Hotel Management: Ensure that event requirements are seamlessly integrated with hotel operations while upholding excellent service standards.

Catering Teams: Offer customized menus and gastronomic encounters that accommodate a range of palates and dietary needs.

AV technicians oversee audio-visual preparations for events and presentations while guaranteeing top quality.

Guest services: Assist guests individually to improve their experience as a whole.

Venues: elora mills Resort offers a wide range of venues that are perfect for all types of MICE events, including:

Conference rooms: outfitted with cutting-edge equipment to facilitate smooth meetings and presentations.

Ballrooms: Stylish settings ideal for formal dinners, grand celebrations, and sizable parties.

Outdoor Spaces: Beautiful locations with breathtaking views of the mountains, perfect for social events or networking meetings.

Types of Meetings

A variety of events can be accommodated in elora mills Resort, such as

Board Meetings : Small, comfortable rooms ideal for executive talks while maintaining privacy.

**Conferences**: Modifiable spaces with cutting-edge tech assistance that can be tailored to accommodate different group sizes.

-Exhibitions: Generous rooms with plenty of space for booths and displays, perfect for exhibiting goods and services.

Incentive Trips: Using the resort's natural surroundings, special experiences and activities are designed to reward and inspire staff members.

Difficulties

- **Logistics Coordination**: Ensuring seamless transportation and lodging for attendees, especially in a hilly area, is a common difficulty in planning MICE events.

**Technology Integration**: Taking care of sophisticated audiovisual configurations and networking to satisfy various tech requirements.

**Last-Minute Changes**: Adjusting to requirements or timetables that suddenly change.

These difficulties are lessened by elora mills Resort's careful planning, strong infrastructure, and proactive staff. Strengths identified by SWOT analysis: - Excellent position surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

- Sophisticated technology amenities and adaptable spaces.

- A skilled and competent crew for managing events.

**Weaknesses**: - Exorbitant operational expenses linked to upkeep of high-end amenities.

Restricted flexibility during the busiest travel seasons.

**Opportunities**: - Increasing the capacity of virtual events to reach a worldwide audience.

- Collaborations with nearby companies to offer distinctive events and activities.

**Dangers** : - Economic downturns that affect company spending on events.

- Increasing competition from alternative locations and events.

### Significance to the PowerPoint Display

While the MICE operations of elora Resort and the control mechanisms of a café share the goal of delivering outstanding client experiences, they are not the same in terms of scale or complexity. A café's MICE operations are more concerned with daily customer satisfaction and service efficiency, while a hotel's involve complex logistical coordination and high-level event planning.

Originality and Visual Composition

Add imaginative titles and captivating material, like: - Narratives about well-attended events at elora mills Resort.

- Photos of the resort's locations, catering arrangements, and main events in excellent quality.

The resort's MICE capabilities and success stories are illustrated through infographics.

### Closing

In conclusion, the cutting-edge facilities, committed staff, and strategic management of elora mills Resort make it an excellent venue for MICE events. Good MICE strategies not only help the resort's image but also greatly increase its earnings and expansion.

Make sure your blog post is live on Tumblr, verify that it can be accessed, and provide the URL as needed. Have fun with your blogging!

Discovering Nearby Gems of Queen Elizabeth Park

Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 49.3 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 47.8 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 54.5 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups. It has been consistently ranked one of the most livable cities in Canada and in the world. In terms of housing affordability, Vancouver is also one of the most expensive cities in Canada and in the world. Vancouver plans to become the greenest city in the world. Vancouverism is the city's urban planning design philosophy.

Queen Elizabeth Park

Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver’s horticultural jewel, is a major draw for floral display enthusiasts and view-seekers, and as a popular backdrop for wedding photos. At 125 m above sea level, it’s the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city, and mountains on the North Shore.

The 52-hectare park is home to the stunning Bloedel Conservatory. There is also a gorgeously landscaped quarry garden, the arboretum with its collection of exotic and native trees, sculptures including one by internationally renowned artist Henry Moore, and diverse recreational offerings such as tennis, lawn bowling and pitch & putt. The park is also the perfect setting for fine dining at Seasons in the Park, a picnic or stargazing!

Queen Elizabeth Park is a beautiful place to visit, and with so many activities it's hard not to find something for everyone in your group. Whether you're looking for a great place for a quick walk or want to spend the day immersing yourself in nature and culture in this urban oasis, Queen Elizabeth Park has something for everyone!

Bloedel Conservatory

Bloedel Conservatory is a domed lush paradise located in Queen Elizabeth Park atop the City of Vancouver’s highest point. More than 100 exotic birds, and 500 exotic plants and flowers thrive within its temperature-controlled environment. Constructed through a very generous donation from Prentice Bloedel, Bloedel was dedicated at its opening in 1969 “to a better appreciation and understanding of the world of plants."

Designated as a heritage building, it is jointly operated by Vancouver Park Board and the Vancouver Botanical Garden Association. Together, these partners also operate VanDusen Botanical Garden.

For nearly a year, campers have set up a makeshift shelter on one of Vancouver’s most expensive pieces of real estate, leading to friction with the owner and prompting calls to the police.

Vancouver cops confirmed they’re looking at how to handle reports that campers are trespassing on a privately owned, vacant lot at the end of a west side street with spectacular ocean and mountain views over Spanish Banks.

“Our officers did open an investigation after we received reports of conflicts between residents on Belmont Avenue and people who appear to be camping in the area. We are reviewing the matter and have not, at this time, taken enforcement action,” said VPD media spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison.

There are single-family lots at 4883, 4889 and 4889 Belmont. Together, they are acres and on the market from June 21, 2021, through 2022. At that time, they were priced at $38.9 million, $29.9 million and $11.9 million for a total of $80.7 million. They’re currently assessed at a total of nearly $60 million.

The properties are owned by B.C. numbered companies with a sole director, Edison Washington, who lists a West Vancouver residential address. A 2016 story by former Province reporter Sam Cooper reported that Edison Washington as Qiang Wang's purchased $152 million worth of Vancouver property since 2011, including the Belmont Avenue properties and parcels on Cambie Street that redeveloped.

The campers have been the locks of the entrance of 4883 Belmont Ave., said Hosein Akbari, a property manager who works for the owner. He first met one of them about nine or 10 months ago when a real estate agent was trying to show the property to a potential buyer.

“Our lock was changed couldn’t open it. We had to cut it when we yelled, ‘What the eff are you doing here? This is my property!’ He kept shouting that, and it happened a few times like that, again and again, where the locks were changed realtor couldn’t get past him. It was a bit scary.”

Akbari called the police and was told there was little that could be done unless the camper was physically there. On a recent weekday News found a small shelter made of wooden planks and a blue tarp. Gardening tools, a rake and some shovels hung neatly from the plastic pails watering can sit on the ground nearby. A toilet sat out far from low-lying vegetation and piles of branches.

Akbari said he doesn’t want to disturb or just get rid of the belongings listings for the properties were originally real estate agent Danny Deng, who didn’t return Postmedia’s calls. Deng’s ad said that a potential buyer could “apply for redevelopment” and, at first, included a photo illustration that showed 27 residences on the combined parcel.

This was later removed city told Postmedia that the lots are zoned RS-1, which permits one- and two-family dwellings through a development permit process and that there are no policies for a strata-titled condo or townhome market rental development.

In January 2023, the owner turned to a new listing agent, Malcolm Hasman. He reprised two lots and put them back on the market at $24.8 million and $17.8 million to reflect the current high-end luxury property.

Hasman said the third lot isn’t on the market but to the same owner. Strategically, it makes more sense to sell the two larger lots ahead of, or instead of, just selling only the smaller lot, which would probably be priced at around $5 million now.

He doesn’t think the situation with the campers is impacting the marketing of the property because “it’s bare land covered in the forest to 15 years ago, I was selling an old house on Belmont were squatters in it. It’s Vancouver. This is the city. It’s not the first time.”

The veteran realtor who has worked in the Vancouver market for 40 on the state situation on this land. It’s private and safe. No one is going to bother you. It’s safer than on (East) Hastings Street. It’s sad …” he said. “If I was a neighbour, living across the street or walking my dog nearby, it would be all over the city. It’s not just on Belmont.”

Hasman said neighbours and the police have contacted him has been in touch with the owner. Akbari said the owner has filed a written trespass complaint with the police.

On Sunday evening, VPD officers were called to Belmont Avenue near the entrance to the property “for a man that was standing in the middle of the road waving a pruning saw in his hand,” said VPD media spokeswoman Const. Tania Visintin.

Officers initially arrested the man was released once the investigation revealed no crime had been committed. The man was found to be pruning bushes in the area. Officers seized the shears man was sent on his way.

It's a popular downtown community gathering that hosts many events in whatever seasons, whether spring, fall, summer, or autumn. Drake Park features a half mile of riverfront, an outdoor stage, an acre of open lawn, restrooms, small picnic tables, and more. The major renovation project for this park was completed in the year 2003. I like the restrooms' upgrades, the park's pathways, and the pavers replacements that made the walkway wider. New irrigation and lighting systems have also already been installed, same with bike racks. There are also added seating and viewing area added to the Pond and High Wheel. Drake Park is now more beautiful than ever.

A newly renovated Homeless Shelter will add 28 beds to Bend.

I read from Bend Bulletin that a newly renovated homeless shelter will add 28 beds to the total stock of Bend. So the city will cross the 400 mark of available homeless shelter beds by February when the Neighbor Impact reopens an old motel to guests after months of renovations. The Bend Value Inn was purchased initially with state funding because of the need for changes or renovations. This includes filling holes in the walls, making them accessible, and modifying the sewer, the water, and the electrical systems. The Steppingstone Shelter is meant to stabilize the option for people who are experiencing homelessness. I hope the situation will improve. Read more.
