Landlord discriminated, HUD says | The Columbus Dispatch

If the rent/lease agreement is specific enough that a prospective tenant meet standards of accountability and financial responsibility,the race issue is irrelevant. The flip side of the issue is greedy landlords who bring in tenants-knowing that in a month or two they'll have financial difficulties.Secti on 8 housing might look like a goldmine for the landlord/slumlord. It comes down to the choice between giving a man in a rut a ladder or a shovel.  (Oct 18, 2009 | post #6)

State's oldest swing drawbridge spans history

I lived in Belle Glade in the 80's,and belonged to a group of waterskiers who practised on the rim canal. It was fascinating to sit under the bridge when it was operating. I wish one of the locals would post some pictures of it.  (Sep 20, 2009 | post #2)
