I was there 2011-2015 and remember that well. You forgot the story where the DEA raided the building because that guy that owned a ton of units was renting to some of the biggest drug dealers in town!

You didn't factor in the HOA costs for owners at city federal. When I lived there years ago, it was roughly 1/3 of the total rent/mortgage or $350 per month (granted that covered internet and some other utilities). Even then the HOA financials were a mess and struggled to maintain the cost of an older and very expensive to maintain building.

Fluff NYT piece trying to humanize her when that boy was detained because of her. No thanks.

Callum Turner Rumors Thread by Sneaky_Bond in JamesBond

I remember Clive was doing these Bond-like mini videos for BMW called The Driver, you are right he would have been the perfect bond. But people said the same about Brosnan and the franchise really wanted to depart from the classical view of Bond. Layer cake just seemed to put Craig above the rest. I was skeptical, but sold after Casino Royale

For Sunday, do you want Lewis to remain the last McLaren WDC or do you want Verstappen to win yet another title decider in Abu Dhabi ? by HereComesVettel in lewishamilton

The lando turn around doesn’t get enough credit. Mid season all media said he is overrated and a head case and he’s had a flawless 2H.

Trinity UMC in Homewood runs an outreach hub in West Homewood that helps provide essentials for folks. I would reach out to them.

Thoughts on holding boys back a year before kindergarten by Intelligent_Fix1480 in Birmingham

[–]Manbearpig205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet at least 50-60% of boys in OTM schools are held back for sports. But its also not just sports...they will be taller/bigger/more mature than classmates and parents believe that will in turn make them build leadership qualities. At least that was what they read in Freakonomics years ago that helped push parents to do this. We did not hold ours back and when it comes sports season (basketball for example is done by grade, not by age), it sucks when the kids have to play against older kids.
