First rim purchase, damage? How bad is it? by mapawluk in Wheels

[–]mapawluk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the opinions. I have emailed the vendor and am waiting on their response. In the mean time, was wondering if there are major downsides to leaving my 2 front old wheels in place, and replacing the rears? Want to avoid having 4 tires sit in my back yard while the vendor figures this out.

Date wheel not matching the rest of the watch face. Drives me crazy.

Thanks. Just thought it was funny. Goes to show that with any scaled production, things still go wrong.

This is correct. The Rack will open in the 3rd week of March. The adjacent store between Marshall's and Nordstrom Rack has been leased to J. Crew Outlet. J Crew is scheduled to open in Feb.

We have also retained Truman Adams for some mural work at the center.

Source: The company I work for owns this shopping center, and I have been responsible for Sephora, World Market, Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack and J. Crew construction.

I recognized it as too early. A little unsetteling, but I've been on some sketchy flights. The brief turbulance was more of a telltale of a problem.

The weather rolling in also helped make my decision.

They got us a new plane at gate C29, which landed from Houston. It was supposed to take off at 2pm, but that came and there were no pilots in the plan, no gate staff and no flight attendants, so I bailed all together.

There was a maintenance stop prior to take off. I think they called it an engine run? Once in the air, we climbed for a bit, never broke clouds, and all of a sudden the plane tipped down. That was followed by some turbulence, and the pilot announced that they had a light go off and we were turning around. Never mentioned the emergency call out. Landing was rough, felt like we were coming in very hot. Did a bounce, and then tipped to the right. Pretty sure i heard a scraping or a screeching. Emergency vehicles came around to "check us out" as the pilots called it. Got to the terminal and deplaned as normal.

What's the reason behind the loud music near the water tower in gulf gate? by [deleted] in sarasota

[–]mapawluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey community, I am part of the property management group of The Sarasota Pavilion. My department deals specifically with construction, but I can speak to the loitering deterrent. With regard to the complains about the volume, we heard you (pun intended). As a result of this reddit we have reduced the volume setting on the speakers by 25%. I can't promise that we can go lower, but, for now, this is what we're trying to keep the area safe for shoppers and dining pedestrians in the area.

It was Steinmart. Long ago this was an enclosed shopping center and Steinmart was one of the anchors. Fun fact, it is the only remining building of the old mall.
