The Lessing and Lessing Annex, Chicago

I've always admired The Commodore, its severe facade of Roman brick with minimal ornament contrasting with its deep recesses and complicated footprint. I used to fantasize about living there; data about recent condominium sales put prices at $250,000-$300,000 for a two-bedroom unit.
Originally called The Lessing, the residential building was completed in 1897 at the northeast corner of Surf and Broadway, and designed by Edmund Krause.
New Yorker Herbert Croly observed in 1907 that while New Yorkers turned to Paris for models, Chicagoans favored simple, even modest exteriors. Chicago History, Spring 1985, p. 30
According to Carroll William Westfall, in "Home at the Top: Domesticating Chicago's Tall Apartment Buildings," Chicago History, Spring 1985, p. 21:
Multi-family dwellings, apartment and flat buildings, did not conform to nineteenth-century Chicagoan's cherished view of their town as a community of freestanding, single-family residences surrounded by fences protecting trees, gardens, and outbuildings. This image persisted long after Chicago had become a thriving commercial city and had ceased being merely a town.
Chicago History, Spring 1985, p.30
The story of The Lessing and Annex began with German immigrant Ernst Johann Lehmann, who began his career in Chicago by opening a small jewelry store on Clark Street. By 1874, he had been so successful that he moved his business to the prestigious corner of State and Adams. He called the new store "The Fair," a name that assured customers that they would be treated fairly. By 1882 The Fair store occupied every building along the north side of Adams between State and Dearborn Streets.
A short time later, the entire south half of the block bounded by Dearborn, State, Monroe, and Adams streets had been leased to The Fair in a deal amounting to a little over three million dollars. A great emporium would be constructed on the site, twelve stories high, costing two million bucks. The building would be the largest in the city and, in fact, the largest in the world devoted to merchandising.
Lehmann died in 1900 at age 50, 10 years after he suffered a mental breakdown, spending the remainder of his life in a mental institution. His wife, Augusta, via a male relative, gained control of the business. She also received the bulk of his wealth, estimated $10 miliion (about $331 million today). Augusta and the Lehmann clan had become interested in real estate before Ernst died. In 1897, the upscale Lessing Apartment building, designed by Edmund Krause, was completed at Surf and Evanston Street, now Broadway.
The Commodore, floor plan published in 1923
The Lessing was marketed to an upscale clientele and had 86 apartments, some of them with as many as eight rooms. Architect Edmund R. Krause broke the huge six-and-one-half-story complex into a series of projecting units with deep but narrow courts between them to provide light and ventilation. The Roman brick fa��ade is organized into the classic three-part design of the Chicago School. Although there is a nifty oculus (a circular opening, especially one at the apex of a dome or structure), it is minimally decorated, centered at the top of each projecting bay.

The quiet apartment building was disturbed in 1917 when a lurid tale of deceit and betrayal led to a murder that reads like a novel (see story below).

The Virginia Hotel, Chicago, was quite similar in design and simplicity to The Lessing.
Seven years later, the Lessing Annex was completed just to the south, facing The Lessing from across Surf.
The Lessing Annex
Apparently, the term "hotel" was sometimes applied to residential buildings that were not intended for short-term stays. "Fire proof construction, built 1902, steel and tile interior, brick exterior. The Green Briar was constructed of a different color of Roman brick than its neighbor across the street.
My photographs of the buildings:
Edmund R. Krause, architect
Edmund R. Krause was born in Thorn, Germany, on August 15, 1859, the son of William and Wilhelmina Krause. He studied architecture in Germany and came to the United States in 1880 at the age of 21. He began his architectural practice in Chicago in 1885 at the age of 25 or 26. For a brief time, he was in partnership with Frederick W. Perkins (1896) but, for most of his working years, he was a sole practitioner.... The American Contractor database that covers the period 1898 through and including 1912 shows that he designed 61 buildings. Of these, 25 (or 41 percent) were for either E.J. Lehman, the estate of E.J. Lehman or another Lehman family member. It is a great example of the importance of a major client to an architect. Another major client was the Fair Department Store. He designed six buildings for them – mainly warehouses or delivery stations – between 1904 and 1909. It appears that the large apartment building was his specialty, for he designed several. Most of them have been demolished, but one prominent commission still stands at the intersection of Surf and Broadway. Originally known as the Lessing Apartments, it was later renamed the Commodore and is now a condominium building. Designed in 1897 and completed in 1898, it originally had 75 apartments, 15 to a floor around a “U”-shaped central courtyard. Later, an Annex was constructed to the north using the same style yellow Roman brick. The Lessing Apartment Complex was one of the first, if not the first, large apartment building constructed north of Diversey. He also designed the 20-story Majestic Theatre building, at what is now 22 W. Monroe. It was subsequently renamed the Schubert Theater and, in 2005, was renamed the LaSalle National Bank Theater. George Rapp of the later firm of Rapp and Rapp designed the interior theater while working as an assistant to Mr. Krause. The building itself was recommended for Chicago Landmark status in 2005. To our knowledge, Edmund Krause designed only three structures in Edgewater: two houses and one commercial building. The first house he designed was at 1189-91 (now 6212) Winthrop. Cook County Recorder of Deeds records show his wife purchasing the lot on August 25, 1898. The permit for the house was issued the next month and he is shown as living in the house in the 1899 and 1900 city directories. It was a rather substantial frame house at 2,800 square feet. The Krauses sold the improved property on January 1, 1902. It was obviously a short stay. Edgewater Historical Society

Alaska’s Iconic Columbia Glacier Still Retreats
The Columbia Glacier in southern Alaska has long been an archetype of the world’s most rapidly changing glaciers. Today, additional tidewater glaciers across the planet have garnered attention from scientists for their collective potential to contribute to sea level rise. In the meantime, the remainder of Columbia Glacier has continued its decades-long course of retreat and thinning.
The ice of a tidewater glacier originates on land and flows downslope into seawater, where the glacier loses mass through the calving of icebergs. Columbia’s ice descends from an icefield 3,050 meters (10,000 feet) above sea level, down the flanks of the Chugach Mountains, and into a fjord that leads into Prince William Sound. The glacier once reached south across Columbia Bay to Heather Island. But since the 1980s, it has lost more than half of its total thickness and volume, and its front has retreated more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) north into the bay.
These images (above) reveal some of the more recent changes, showing the glacier’s position during the summers of 2019 (TOP) and 2024 (LOWER). Both images were acquired with the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8.
Notable changes persist on the glacier’s Main Branch and West Branch. (The glacier split into these two branches around 2011.) The Main Branch was constricted for several years by the rocky outcrop north of the Great Nunatak, visible in 2016 in the photograph below. Christopher McNeil, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey, pointed out that the Main Branch has since pulled away from this pinning point.
“That peninsula represented a constriction point for the glacier in the 2019 image,” McNeil said. “Since retreating back, the calving face has less constraint and thus a more unstable configuration.”
The West Branch appears to have already lost its tidewater terminus by 2019, as suggested that year by Shad O’Neel, a glaciologist at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. That means it no longer reaches fjord waters where it once spawned icebergs, as the Main Branch continues to do. “The fjord size looks relatively constant through the past few years, but you can see a lot of terrestrial retreat now,” O’Neel said. “It looks like a lot of new gravelly real estate.”
The rapid retreat of glaciers like Columbia can leave the surrounding land unstable. “Entire mountainsides once held back by a glacier’s ice can start to move, increasing the risk of landslides and subsequent tsunamis for coastal communities, local fishers, and shipping lanes,” McNeil said.
Tidewater glaciers tend to cycle between periods of advance and retreat. The position of a glacier’s terminus and its rate of retreat are influenced by factors such as fjord shape, sea level change, iceberg calving, and water and air temperature. These dynamics can mitigate or reinforce the effects of climate, making tidewater glaciers highly variable in how rapidly they respond to climate change.
Mauri Pelto, a glaciologist at Nichols College, noted that increases in melt-accelerating feedbacks have contributed to the rapid losses observed at Columbia Glacier. A similar scenario is unfolding elsewhere in Alaska, including at Taku Glacier and Muir Inlet’s East Arm. And roughly 15,000 kilometers away, tidewater glaciers in West Antarctica have come under scientific focus for the changes occurring there.
“The wider implication of tidewater glaciers like Columbia is that they have the ability to rapidly contribute to sea level rise—much faster than their land terminating counterparts,” McNeil said. “However, not all tidewater glaciers have the same configuration as Columbia Glacier, so improving our understanding of the forcings of tidewater glaciers could help further constrain sea level rise projections from these glacier changes globally.”
View the related World of Change story to see these images in context with changes at Columbia Glacier since 1986.

After the closure of their flagship shopping location in Winnipeg in 2020, what’s going on with Canada’s beloved retail department store, the former fur trade monopoly leader, once a central force in the British Empire’s control of North America, the Hudson’s Bay Company? The empire lives on, continuing to control land through Canadian and US real estate companies. Liquidating real estate can keep the money and keep the land in the same hands.
Regarding the decline of the oldest European company in North America, and “new” manifestations of imperialist conceptions of land: I wanted to summarize the reporting work of Don Gillmor, in an article for The Walrus published in January 2023. (Credit to Gillmor for piecing together these threads of thought and framing the story, here.)
So the “oldest company in North America” is the Hudson’s Bay Company. After chartering in the 1670s, HBC “owned” vast stretches of land and was central to British and later Canadian control of “the West,” and then enjoyed decades of celebration in the twentieth century as a retail department store chain. HBC’s flagship store in Winnipeg was finally closed in November 2020. At the time, commercial real estate firms “valued the building at $0.” As Gillmor puts it: “Millions of Canadians grew up with the Hudson’s Bay Company as a place to buy towels and clothes, but land has always been at the heart of HBC. Canada’s oldest company began as a land deal (at least from the European perspective) during an outbreak of the bubonic plague and may end as a real estate deal in another plague.”
---
In 2022, as part of what many observers and some Indigenous critics considered a superficial public relations campaign, HBC “gifted” the 500,000 square-foot downtown Winnipeg building to the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, an “alliance of southern First Nations communities in Manitoba.” Critics haven’t all been impressed.
Here, Gillmor cites some local commentary: “[A]n episode of Media Indigena, a podcast broadcast from Winnipeg by journalist Rick Harp, [...] offered another perspective. A guest, Kenneth Williams, an assistant professor with the University of Alberta’s department of drama, suggested that, as reparations, it wasn’t enough. HBC exploited Indigenous people for centuries [...]. And the Winnipeg store was ground zero for this trade, with the largest fur storage facility in western Canada, a vault that could hold 12,000 furs. Williams suggested ‘the inspired act of reclamation’ was merely HBC getting rid of a toxic asset.”
Current HBC governor and chairman, Richard Baker, seems to be purposely liquidating HBC’s assets, to cash out, so to speak. In a 2020 interview, Baker said: “We’re not a department store chain. We’re a holding company that owns many billions of dollars of real estate.”
---
Since inception, it been all about land.
So the “company’s roots can be traced back to 1665″ when Pierre-Espirit Radisson traveled to London to ask for the financial backing of King Charles II. This was the same year that up to one-fifth of London’s population had died during an outbreak of bubonic plague. By 1670, King Charles II “granted the charter that started the Hudson’s Bay Company, but the ownership of the land was largely an abstraction. He had no idea of its size and viewed it as a commodity. [...] The imbalance of power meant that the colonizer’s mercantile philosophies” including apparent human detachment from and lordship over land “became the foundation” for British imperial power in Canada.
---
In 1867, “the Dominion of Canada was formed, but much of the west was still controlled by HBC.” In that same year, “the Americans bought Alaska from the Russians,” and so, to compete with the United States, both the British government and infamous Canadian prime minister Macdonald pressured HBC to sell much of western North America to the Canadian government at a discount price, giving Canada so-called “ownership” of a massive stretch of land "twice the size of Alaska.”
---
And now, the chairman of HBC is cashing out. And the Empire’s found new ways to mask its activities while still keeping land in the same hands.
According to Gillmor: “In 2012, he took the company public and acquired the upscale department store Saks [...]. In March 2020, [...] Baker won his bid to take the company private once more [...]. In Canada, the last of the big homegrown department stores (Simpson’s, Eaton’s, Sears, and Zellers) were all gone. In the US, Macy’s was closing stores; Neiman Marcus, Barneys, JCPenney had all filed for bankruptcy [...]. Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University and a former CEO of Sears Canada, saw it as a thinly veiled strategy to strip the assets of HBC so only the real estate remained [...]. ‘It’s a financial play,’ he said, ‘which gives him the ability to manipulate the real estate assets of Hudson’s Bay, both in Canada and the US.’ [...] ‘Baker will liquidate the Bay,’ Cohen predicted. ‘He will liquidate.’ If he does -- its Bay Days sales and Stanfield underwear finally gone -- all that will be left will be the land. Currently, it is controlled by deeds, leaseholds, and leases that are shared by Baker, venture capitalists, equity partners [...].”
Meaning that the future of the HBC stores and other properties across North America remains similar to the initial colonization project. Again from Gillmor: “[T]his version of the land echoes that of the seventeenth century: its ownership [...] complex [...] and profiting someone in another country.”
Land profited kings. Land now profits CEOs and venture capitalists and property management companies.
---
All quotes above were excerpted from Gillmor’s article: Don Gillmor. “Why Hudson’s Bay Company’s Future Is in Question.” The Walrus. 4 January 2023. [Bold emphasis added by me.]
---
Related.
In an article from October 2020, on the eve of the Winnipeg store’s closure, Manitoba-based reporter Niigaan Sinclair offered some commentary. Following quote from: Niigaan Sinclair. “Right place, right time: Downtown Bay building a monument to colonization’s brutality, but it could be transformed into a place of Indigenous positvity, reconciliation.” Winnipeg Free Press. 5 October 2020.
Three-and-a-half centuries after Hudson’s Bay Co. received its first charter -- giving Prince Rupert and his “Company of Adventurer’s of England” an exclusive trading monopoly over the entire Hudson Bay drainage basin -- it’s biggest symbol of colonization is coming to an end. [...] [T]he company plans to close its six-storey flagship store at Portage Avenue and Memorial Boulevard, literally Canada’s gateway to the West. So this is how colonization ends. The people who profit the most take all they can from the land and people within it, and then quietly leave when there’s nothing left to take. Soon, all that will be left is an empty [...] pile of plaster and metal that will cost millions to repair or remove for those who actually live here. Really, though, this is how colonization continues. HBC is not a retail empire -- never really was -- but a massive real estate company. Just as King Charles II gave Prince Rupert lands that were not his to give, HBC holds deeds to billions of dollars of global property [...] and will march on. [...] HBC’s legacy of exploitation, violence and theft is permanent, though. HBC began with profits from the slave trade and cheap goods from the British colonies. It was instrumental in manufacturing goods for the Commonwealth [...]. Alongside were billions built off Indigenous lands and resources.

Hyrule Geography in All That Hurts Us
I'm going to spare you a mangled map - I am not good at editing pictures.
But, basically, I'm using the BotW map, except:
More room for settlements because although BotW didn't do the old RPG game thing and have a tile on the map that expanded into a town when you walked over it, it also, quite sensibly, didn't waste a ton of real estate on each set of ruins. Even Castle Town is a pretty small town. For All That Hurts Us, I'm allowing a lot of towns and villages and letting them be bigger, and just assuming the map is stretched as needed. Maritta is a good example: in BotW, you will find the Maritta Exchange Ruins East of Ludfos bog, just under Tanagar Canyon. In All That Hurts Us, there is a town there called Maritta, but it's bigger than the ruins (the ruins are just a few buildings). Castle Town is also way bigger, big enough to have several distinct neighborhoods.
I'm assuming the Hyrule Rauru and Sonia founded was not the first one, but occurred after all the games except BotW. This was hinted to be a possibility by the Zelda team, and it's my preferred scenario. Therefore, much like in the Hyrules of Ocarina of Time and every other games prior to BotW, there are no Zonai ruins.
The Tingle Islands have some land closer to the Ocean than in the games, allowing for a bit more living and farming space, but are still very, very hilly. They're not called the Tingle Islands (see below for their current name).
The Great Plateau and Castle Town are in pretty much the same spot, not necessarily exactly in the case of the Castle - it's not hiding Ganondorf after all since this is pre-Zonai - but close enough. It's mentionned that there are at least two even older castle towns and castle ruins buried under the plateau, and that the current one is also built atop at least one older one. The idea is that the capital tends to switch back and forth.
Some areas, like the Tingle Islands, are different due to thousands of years having passed and geography naturally evolving with erosion and people's actions. For instance, there is still a Goron City on Death Mountain but it's the one from Ocarina of time, expanded, rather than a surface village like in BotW. Goron City is acknowledged to have been deserted for periods of time through history (because I want to be consistent with the fact there are no Gorons in A Link to the Past because I am just like that).
I haven't actually decided where the Lost Woods were. I haven't needed to pin them down so far so I'm leaving it open but they currently include the scant ruins of the old Forest Temple. The assumption, and that's in the text as well, is that they move when the newest Deku Tree sprouts in a new location.
The Sea Folks were given land that was not otherwise used and was widely considered undesirable. Settlements and their rough locations are:
Given, small village, on what's called the "Tingle Islands" in BotW. The main island, with the bridge to the mainland, is the northernmost one and some of the islands are still connected that aren't by the time of BotW.
Beginning is the biggest Sea Folks settlement, qualifies as a small town rather than a village. It's located in the marshy part of Hyrule fields, with man made islands and floating farm fields.
Haven is in the North Western part of Tabantha
Dawn is towards the south of the East Coast, blocked by the sea on one side and cliffs on the other. I'm currently thinking Kitano Bay.
Hope is on the hills forming the eastern border to Gerudo desert, overlooking the Oseira Plains.
There are two more, Life and a so far unnamed one. I haven't settled on their locations yet.
The Sea Folks gave their settlements names showing their gratitude for being given a chance at life in Hyrule after they barely escaped complete genocide in their former home.

KINGSTON, Okla. — This article was originally published by our content partners at the Dallas Business Journal. You can read the original article here.
A massive $2 billion master-planned community is making headway along the Texas-Oklahoma border with the start of construction on a hotel resort.
Spanning 2,700 acres and featuring 19 miles of Lake Texoma shoreline, Pointe Vista is expected to eventually feature 2,100 homes, multiple hotels, an 11-acre bay, a casino, a golf course, an enclosed waterpark, a family entertainment center, an amphitheater and a mix of shops and restaurants. It's being constructed on the north side of the lake in Oklahoma, west of Durant.
Infrastructure construction began Nov. 21 on Hard Rock Hotel Lake Texoma, which was announced last month as the first of three resorts planned for the property. The hotel is slated to have 189 rooms, an 18,000-square-foot conference center and event lawn.
The development will also feature the Hard Rock Residences, which an Oct. 17 announcement framed as the first hospitality-branded real estate offering in Oklahoma. The community will consist of rental homes ranging in size from 667 to 3,000 square feet. Rent prices are still being finalized.
Both projects are expected to open in the Summer of 2027.
The project was founded by Mark Fisher, who more than a decade ago bought land that used to be a state park. That park had fallen into disrepair, and Fisher "saw an area that he could help make better and develop," said Grant Speaks, president of Pointe Vista. Fisher continued to buy land around the former park and, as "Dallas continues to stretch north," the community's backers see boundless potential, according to Speaks.
The development of Pointe Vista exemplifies the change sweeping over the Texoma border region north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Huge neighborhoods are rising, including the $6B Preston Harbor community on the south side of the lake that will include a Margaritaville resort, and a nascent semiconductor production industry is taking shape in Sherman.
Pointe Vista will feature two unique lakefront neighborhoods: Reflection Pointe and Bridge Pointe, both of which are under construction.
Reflection Pointe will feature 84 single-family lakeside homes ranging from 2,800 to 4,600 square feet, with seven homes set to be completed by early 2025. Bridge Pointe includes 32 lakeside villas and 26 hilltop townhomes with lake views, with construction already underway on four homes. Homes at both communities are currently available for sale and range in price from $225,000 to $1.3 million. Infrastructure construction was completed in early November.
Future developments will include a lakeside hotel with 350-plus rooms, a convention center and a 72-room boutique hotel near the Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club. Hotel flags for those projects have not yet been determined.
Overall, Pointe Vista is anticipated to finish within 10 to 15 years. The project has been in the works since 2008 but faced delays because of the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.
A market study by the developer estimates Pointe Vista could create more than 7,000 jobs during construction and at least 200 permanent positions once completed. In the end, the project could generate more than $241 million in direct spending, Speaks said.
"Fourth of July 2027, I'd love to have between 5,000 to 10,000 people at our development," he said.
The development will be easily accessible thanks to planned infrastructure improvements, including the Roosevelt Bridge expansion and the extension of the Dallas North Tollway. It's located about two hours from Dallas and Oklahoma City.
Lake Texoma is already home to the Chickasaw Nation West Bay Casino & Resort, Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club and the Catfish Bay Marina. There are also efforts to bring a professional soccer team to Texoma.
"We think that Lake Texoma is the best-kept secret out there," Speaks said. "We want to be good neighbors to other developments that are out there and wish everybody the best. We met the football club folks a few years ago at a hunting event, thought they were tremendous [and are] excited to have them nearby."

British Columbia is expanding the tax it created to clamp down on real estate speculation and ensure homes in rental-strapped communities don’t sit empty.
A statement from the Ministry of Finance says the Speculation and Vacancy Tax now includes the municipalities of North Cowichan, Duncan, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Lions Bay and Squamish.
Starting early next year, homeowners in those areas will join owners in 40 other B.C. cities, districts and towns who are required to declare how their property was used in 2023.
The statement says 99 per cent of people who live in B.C., can expect to be exempt for the 2023 tax year, but homeowners in the new municipalities, along with those already covered by the tax, must make formal declarations in the new year.

"[University of California, San Francisco] is trying to isolate and marginalize me. Medicine residents are complaining that leadership will not allow me to speak in antiracism forums because they characterize me as “controversial.” But I am not some outlier of medicine. I am a part of its history of correction. Judging by the sheer numbers of medical students who reach out to me from around the country to ask for mentorship, to work alongside me, and who come to UCSF specifically because of my work, I am part of a movement bringing forward ideas that are a postcard from the future, that were gifted to me by the loving relationships of the communities who teach me and who I serve. These are ideas that call for radical inquiry into why medicine doesn’t serve all, despite 20 years of investment into so-called “health equity.” These are ideas that look unflinchingly into the violence of our past and the present to map a better world without violence in the future, so that all may be healthy. These are ideas that bring analysis of critical pedagogies into medicine, insisting upon an understanding of how history and power are shaping the health outcomes we see. This is not comfortable work. But it is necessary if we want to see all people thrive and live the lives they truly deserve. My understanding of health equity and justice comes from decades of being a part of and serving communities in the struggle for our collective liberation. I realize there are not too many physicians in the academy who spend as much time as I have in frontline struggles — listening to families who have lost their loved ones to racist police violence, which continues to grow in the U.S., and standing together with Indigenous people who are resisting a pipeline through their water, or a real estate development going up on their sacred site. Today, experts with institutional roles in health equity are notably silent about the genocide in Gaza, which speaks volumes about their allegiance to power rather than their commitment to end inequities. I do not learn about health equity from reading books, attending conferences or holding journal clubs. I learn about health equity through building solidarity and living in lockstep with the communities I serve and to whom I belong, through the practice of Deep Medicine. My understanding of health is shaped by the survivors of genocide working to get their land back in Ohlone territory where I was born and where I work. It is sharpened by La Via Campesina’s peasant farming movement, the legacy of the Black Panther Party, the Waorani’s struggle to hold oil companies responsible for the pollution of the Amazon, the families of Oscar Grant, Mario Woods and Alex Nieto, all killed by Bay Area police, the family at Poor Magazine, disability justice movements and survivors of medical violence, and the Indigenous-led pipeline resistance, which has been the most effective tactic to lower greenhouse gas emissions in North America. My work is shaped by many people who work in service of ending apartheid in Palestine and bringing a future with equal rights for all."

After they were given the Wolf’s Den, how many generations do you think it would have taken for House Manderly to score marriages with House Stark, whether that be Stark daughters heading over to White Harbor or Manderly’s marrying into the main Stark line at Winterfell? Likewise, would House Manderly have initially struggled to make inroads with the Umbers, Karstarks, Hornwoods, etc, and possibly being forced to make marriages with houses from the Vale, Riverlands or even families around Blackwater Bay?
I don't know about the first one.
As to the second, I don't think the Manderlys would have been shunned in the marriage department given they were already a quite wealthy house when they arrived in the North, especially when compared to the Northern houses and were given prime real estate with White Harbor, the North's premier port at the mouth of the White Knife. Add to that by Manderly's admission, they commanded more heavy horse than any other Northern lord. Being one of the wealthiest and most powerful lords in the North would likely make any other Northern house overlook the Manderly's southron origins and the fact they worshipped the Seven for the political advantages of marrying into them.

Key Elements to Examine Before Making a Property Purchase
Buying a house is a significant milestone in one's life. Whether it is your first home or an upgrade to a new property, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection before making the final decision. By examining key aspects of the house featured in North Bay real estate listings, you can ensure that you are investing in a property that meets your needs and avoids potential pitfalls down the line. Here are the top things you should check in a house before you buy it.
Structural Integrity
The structural integrity of a house is paramount. Inspect the foundation for any signs of cracks, water damage, or uneven settling. Look for sagging ceilings, sloping floors, or gaps around windows and doors. Hire a professional inspector if necessary to assess the overall structural stability and identify any red flags.
Electrical and Plumbing Systems
Ensuring that the electrical and plumbing systems are in good working condition is crucial. Test all light switches, power outlets, and fixtures to ensure they function properly. Check for any signs of outdated or faulty wiring. Inspect the plumbing for leaks, water pressure, and drainage issues. Faulty electrical or plumbing systems can lead to significant expenses and inconvenience after purchasing a house.
Neighborhood and Location
When buying any of the Thunder Bay homes for sale, it is essential to consider the neighborhood and location. Research the local amenities, schools, crime rates, and proximity to your workplace or other essential places. Visit the neighborhood during different times of the day to get a sense of the noise levels, traffic, and overall ambiance. Choosing the right neighborhood and location will enhance your quality of life and contribute to the long-term value of your property.
Roof and Exterior
The condition of the roof and exterior should not be overlooked. Check for missing shingles, signs of leaks, or damage. Inspect the gutters and downspouts to ensure they are intact and functioning correctly. Examine the siding, paint, and overall exterior condition. A well-maintained roof and exterior will protect your investment and save you from potential repair costs in the future.
Buying a house is a significant investment, and it is essential to conduct a diligent inspection before making a final decision. Hiring a realtor will help you to get invaluable guidance throughout the process, ensuring a smooth and successful home-buying experience.

Is Donald John Trump and Elon Reeve Musk insulting Prime Minister Justin Pierre James Trudeau or Praising Him?
Let's examine the meaning of the word "GOVERNOR," from an Autochthonous Moor/ Black North American prospective, to wit:
The term MooR has the ancient root of MR founded in the old Mauraysh TaMaRian MaRU aMaRuKa, i.e., the old Moorish language of what has come to be known as Egyptian, Hebrew and America languages respectively.
The scholarship word Kemet that has come to mean black land or Black people's land is not the ancient word for Egypt.
The ancient hieroglyphic clearly shows that the proper term is Ta'MooRi>T’ MR or Pa-ta Mera>the ancient Land of Egypt: see E.A. Willis, Budge “An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary" (>E.H.D.) vol. 1, P. 315 & vol. 2, P. 1050. Ta'MoRi/TaMeRa> The Moors or the land of the Moor is the hidden and true Nationality of the real ancient Egyptians of North America.
The word KeMiT is a geographical name where the praiseworthy black dirt settled [>ChMT=HMT/HMD>HaMmaD: Root M-HMD or MuhaMmaD> "One who is praiseworthy" or One who is (P) Raised up out of and in the Darkness or Blackness, i.e., ignorance].
The root word M-R [>an abbreviation for Mister and Master] comes from the old Moorish language or letters [O.M.L.] of Mym Rah>manifestation of enlightenment or the Sperm of God.
Mym Ra or God Manifested is another Name for ASR [>in the Old Testament ASR is the Mysterious unpronounceable name of the Lord who Moses talked with and not Jehovah or Yahweh>YHWH: "Ahyh ASR Ahyh>I am ASR/Osiris I am"]. See, e.g "The Torah" by Union of American Hebrew Congregation (T.T.) 1981, P. 400, Ex. 3: 14] or the Greek word Osiris.
Osiris is actually Os (Plus) iris, and when translated properly means bones and mouth (OS) + Messenger's eye and to form into, i.e., the Messenger(s) of God who became the Word that spoke the foundation of the World into existence. See, e.g., Os and Iris in "Shorter Oxford English Dictionary by William Little (S.O.E.D.), 1933-64. Os also means to know and iris to-observe, therefore, Os-Iris-also means to know by observation> science.
Osiris/Asr is also called Bey (root BY) or Bai, meaning Noble, Priest or a form of Osiris and Ra.
When the Moorish Empire ruled the World all Bailiffs were Beyliffs. The term Bey became Bay and Bai [E.H.D., Vol. l, P. 202 and S.O.E.D., P. 137, Sb2, Sb3 and Bailiff (Be-lit)].
In "The Ancient History of the Distinguished Surname Bey", by The Historical Research Society in Orlando FL, state’s that "These (Beys) pioneers became the nucleus of the first settlements from Maine to the Cumberland Gap.
They provided much of the STOCK that produced the early Presidents and Governors of the United States. In Canada they settled Nova Scotia, the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley.
The family name Bey; provided many prominent contemporaries such as Colonel Bye who created the Rideau Canal, and founded Ottawa". Bey in old English or Moorish Ynglish originally meant Governor and Prince, or Beg>Big=great. See, e.g., S.O.E.D.
The so-called War of Independence. The word "independence" comes from the Latin word Libertas or to be set free.
The Mauro's or Mulatto British/French Denizens a.k.a. European Proprietors> Company Presidents> Precedents =Governors who wanted to be free from the British Control of their commerce, however a Colony [Plantation, estate or subsidiary corporation] does not have the legal right to independently declare its freedom from the parent company, let alone take complete control of its stock [delivery stock> livestock=the Wight Serfs of Europe] without a company take over.
Federal Governor. "The system of government administrated in a nation formed by the union or confederation of several independent States" [Const. Art. 6, Clause. 1> Lat. Foederis] and “A league or compact between two or more States to become united under one central [General] government. See Federation": Black’s Law Dictionary, Ed. 6, p. 610-11.
So, what's your thoughts, is Trump and Musk insulting or acknowledging Trudeau's Prince > Governor Status?
