Commanding panoramic views of the Long Island Sound, Rogers Island and the Thimble Islands are the hallmark of the contemporized colonial house at 379 Old Sachems Head Road in Guilford. Then again, there are many distinguishing features on this waterfront property that could be considered a hallmark, starting with its size and continuing with its many amenities. The unique part about this property is its size. Its on five acres. Thats hard to find, especially along the waterfront, according to Joe Piscitelli, the listing agent. Residents can enjoy dramatic sunsets over the Thimble Islands, the rolling lawn that gently descends to the rocky coastline of Joshua Cove and attractive gardens and there are no utility poles or wires to obstruct the view. On this property the utilities are underground, Piscitelli said.

Water views are visible from many of its 11 rooms as well as from relaxing spots throughout the property; a gazebo, patios, pergolas and large covered porch.

The 5,405-square-foot house, topped with a slate roof, was built in 1940. Inside, there are three fireplaces, a banquet-sized formal dining room and updated kitchen. The master suite enjoys its own private balcony. The walkout lower level features a summer kitchen and cabana.

The grounds feature a Gunite in-ground swimming pool and spa, and come the warm weather months, residents can walk down to the waters edge to boat, kayak and paddle board, setting off from their own private launch. And theres great clamming in the Sound, Piscitelli said. This is definitely the property for a water enthusiast, he said.

Despite this homes proximity to the water, no flood insurance is required, Piscitelli said, because the four-bedroom, 4.5-bath house is perched high atop a knoll.

Its walking distance to West Woods trails, Piscitelli said. Its four miles to the Shore Line East train station and the center of Guilford, which very much remains its classic small town character, he said. The local train can get commuters quickly into nearby New Haven, and Manhattan is only 75 miles away.

This property was on the market for $4,700,000. It currently has a contingent.

SANFORD, FLA. Wendover Housing Partners, an Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based multifamily developer, has broken ground on Monroe Landings, a $16.3 million affordable housing community in Sanford. Wendover received $11.5 million in tax credit equity, $1.3 million from partner Orlando Housing Authority and a $2.8 million permanent loan from Neighborhood Lending Partners. Roger B. Kennedy Construction is overseeing the construction of the community.

Located at 375 Oleander Ave. in Sanford, Monroe Landings will be a 60-unit, multifamily community with one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Community amenities will include a clubhouse with a gathering area and fireplace, resident computer center, pool, tot lot, gazebo with picnic tables, outdoor grills and a community gardening area. Rent is expected to start at $766 per month for one-bedroom units, $908 per month for two-bedroom units and $1,041 per month for three-bedroom units. Wendover expects to move residents in by the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022.

In November 2013, HUD demolished an existing affordable housing community at the site after being deemed uninhabitable. Several hundred residents were displaced at the time the community was demolished. Wendover will offer the former residents the option to live at Monroe Landings when completed. The property will serve as the first phase of development for the revitalization of the Goldsboro neighborhood, being the first large-scale development there in more than 20 years.

In addition to Monroe Landings, Wendover currently has three other affordable communities in the development pipeline in Central Florida, as well as four affordable active communities.

The Mermaid Trail festivities on Saturday, February 20th will take trekkers to the 1885 Depot and adjoining Countryman One Room School House on Russell Street and, also, to the May-Stringer at the top of the Jefferson Street hill at 601 Museum Court.

The Brooksville Main Street program started the fun way of touring Brooksville. The brass, mermaid figurines have have been given names. For instance, Mermaid Arcelia lives in the rafters of the Depot and her sister Mermaid Maridith has a place of honor in the gazebo at the May-Stringer. A lovely collection of Mermaid memorabilia can be found on the third floor of the Museum. Along with Mermaid history starting in 1947 you will also be able to view photos of Weeki Wachee Springs before it became Floridas first roadside attraction.

By the way, it is quite possible that a live Mermaid may join Maridith in the gazebo on Saturday!

Some people meet their future spouse at a bar or on a dating app.Phillip Baulding and Raven Hazelwood met while responding to a late-night burglar alarm call at a laundromat.

Baulding and Hazelwood are both officers with the Burlington Police Department. Soon after Hazelwood began at the department in summer 2018, she went on a call with Baulding.

They hadn't met before, but after working together that nightthey began to talk more and became friends. They soon began spending time together outside of work, and they began to develop feelings for one another.The couple began dating in November2018.

"We could really talk to each other about the job," Baulding said. "It's definitely important to have somebody who understands law enforcement. It's hard to talk to somebody who knows it, but doesn't really know some of the stressors that we have to go through."

Hazelwood said she knew from when they started datingthat Baulding was the one.

They dated for two years and had a son together in February 2020. They had talked about the possibility of marriage, but once their son was born, he became the priority, and marriage fell to the back burner.

In September2020, Baulding proposed during a vacation at Carolina Beach.He had planned in advance to propose during the vacation, but spent the whole tripwaiting for the right moment.

"I was a nervous wreck all the time. I don't know how she didn't notice it," Baulding said.

It came down to their final day there, and he suggested they go for one last walk along the beach.

They walked down a boardwalk, and at the endwas a gazebo, where he wanted to propose. Once they reached the gazebo, they saw it was full of people.

This worked out well, though, as they had a crowd of strangers cheering them on, Baulding said. He asked a woman to take photos, and he got down on one knee.

"I didn't expect it at all," Hazelwood said. "It wasa huge surprise to me."

Baulding was so nervous that he tried to put the ring back in his pocket after Hazelwood said yes.

"I was like, 'Well, are you gonna give me the ring?'" Hazelwood said.

After becoming engaged, the couplebegan to make wedding plans. They didn't have a lot of money saved up for a large ceremony and at first thought, they would only be able to afford a small wedding with close family. Hazelwood has family members who aresick, so they want to have the ceremony soon, so they're able to come.

It hurt them not to be able to invite their friends, especially the other officers they work with.

"There's a special bond and a special friendship that comes with the people that we work with," Hazelwood said."It's indescribable. I would take a bullet for these people, and it wouldn't feel right celebrating our wedding day without them."

When they began touring wedding venues, they fell in love with the Bella Collina Mansion in Stokesdale. It was out of their price range, though, and they wouldn't be able to afford a wedding there.

Then Hazelwood's mother heard about a contest the venueis doing to give away a free wedding. The coupleentered, and they'renow finalists for the prize along with three other couples.Once they discovered the contest, they realized it might be possible for them to have the wedding of their dreams and to invite all their friends.

After receiving around 540 applications, the Bella Collina Mansion's owner narrowed the pool down to the top 10 based on essays written by the applicants. The top 10 applicants went to the venuefor interviews with a panel of judges.

The judgeswere supposed to narrow the pool to three couples after the interviews, but the owners said it was such a hard decision that they chose four couples instead.

Voting runs from Feb. 7-14 to decide who will be the ultimate winner. People can vote on the venue's website as many times as they want.

Baulding and Hazelwood said one reason they decided to do the contest is to engage with the community. They knew if they made it to the final stages, their hometown would need to vote for them to win.

They hope by hearing about their story, people will realize police officers are human, too. Although the uniform can sometimes put people off, Baulding and Hazelwoodare members of this community just like everyone else, and they hope this contest helps them connect with the community and helps people to look beyond the badge.

"We're not there for the money. We don't get paid that much," Hazelwood said. "We're not there because we're malice people who want to cause harm to anyone. We're there because we want to help. And we want the community to be able to see that we're their friends. We're on their side."

You're probably familiar with Bucks County Community College for their educational offerings, but they're also the site of the beautiful Tyler Gardens. The Tyler Mansion is arguably the grandest home ever built in Bucks County and believed to be the last of the great estates ever constructed in the United States. In 1987, Tyler Hall (as the mansion is now known) and Tyler Formal Gardens were placed on the National Register of Historical Places. The Formal Gardens were constructed in 1931 by George F. and Stella Elkins Tyler to provide a formal landscape setting for their estate, Indian Council Rock. The four-tier Formal Gardens were influenced by French and Italian gardens and feature varieties of flora, beautiful lush lawns, dramatic stone walls and staircases, gravel walks, fountains, and bronze sculptures. Today, the Gardens provide a stunning backdrop for a wedding with immaculate landscaping, historic buildings and plenty of old world charm. (Tip: Piccolo Trattoria, a Happening List Winner for Catering, is one of the exclusive vendors at Tyler Gardens.) Tyler Gardens are located within the Bucks County Community College's Newtown Campus at 275 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA.

Warning: SPOILERS for Firefly Lane are ahead.

Netflix's latest addition is Firefly Lane, and it has all the makings of a hit, binge-watchable drama: There's love, family issues, and conflict all within the span of a three-decades-long friendship. The show centers around Tully Hart (Katherine Heigl) and Kate Mularkey (Sarah Chalke), who become best friends in middle school.

As they grow up, they attempt to remain close despite having different ideas about careers, right vs. wrong, and the love of Johnny Ryan (Ben Lawson).

The series was adapted from the 2008 novel of the same name by Kristin Hannah, but there have already been key differences that have kept readers-turned-viewers on their toes.

The character of Tully's boyfriend, Max Brody (Jon Ecker), was added to the show, and the two face one considerable hurdle in their relationship in the early aughts.

Does Tully have a baby in Firefly Lane? Keep reading for the refresher on the storyline, and to find out what happens.

Even at the beginning of Tully and Kate's friendship in the '70s, it was clear that Kate was the nurturer, and Tully wasn't interested in being beholden to a family.

Though Kate struggles when she finds out she is pregnant with Johnny's baby in the '80s, she ends up dedicating herself to motherhood.

Meanwhile, Tully has admitted several times that she likes the idea of having kids but that she's not sure she ever wants to be a mom.

Article continues below advertisement

"Raising kids seems like the most impossible thing ever," Tully tells Kate in an early '00s scene in "Love Is a Battlefield." "I literally can't imagine it, and you do it every f-----g day."

As Tully laments the idea of motherhood, she learns that the pregnancy test she has taken is positive.

In the following episode, "Sweet Child O' Mine," Tully chats with Kate about what she should do about her surprise pregnancy.

Article continues below advertisement

"I don't know how to be a mother," Tully shares.

When she tells the father, Max, about the news, he's fully on board. But, Tully still isn't convinced.

Once she meets with her mom, Cloud (Beau Garrett), Tully decides that she isn't hesitant about motherhood anymore. She marries Max, but she loses the pregnancy after getting an infection in the penultimate episode of Season 1.

"It feels like a dream. I lost the baby," Tully tells Kate.

Afterward, Tully and Max explore getting an annulment, but Tully later acknowledges that she was deeply affected by the loss.

In the season finale, she shares that she's not sure if she would want to try again but that she wants to start over with Max. He is done chasing her, but she asks him to meet her at the gazebo where they got married for another chance.

Article continues below advertisement

But, it doesn't appear as if he feels the same way about a new beginning. Max fails to show up at the gazebo, leaving Tully heartbroken.

The emotional storyline has some viewers wondering if Tully will have a baby in the future on the show or if she'll reconcile with Max.

Business Outline of Gazebo Design Software Market 2020- 2025 To Surge in The Near Future with Rapid Revenue Growth Across Key Industries - AlgosOnline

Sometimes, what matters most for a project to succeed is simply the spark of an idea and many pairs of hands to bring the idea to fruition. Thats what happened for a group of people at Stang Precision in Paynesville, shortly before Thanksgiving.

A family friend with a relative in assisted living called my father to talk about it, said Chad Stang. Their conversation generated the idea and he talked to me. Its a great cause. We thought that was something we could do.

Precautions to protect the elderly and disabled from COVID-19 in 2020, came at a great price, with very limited contact from family and friends. Visiting outdoors was a seasonal option, but the colder fall weather ended that.

Because of a slowdown in business around the same time, employees of Stang Precision were able to help construct a place for relatives and friends to visit their loved ones at Stearns Place in Paynesville, one of the locations where visitation was restricted.

It was a win-win project, to do something for the community and use our folks to do it, said Stang. We had excellent support from the hospital staff.

An already-existing gazebo was in the right place to be used for a new Visitation Station. There is a hallway connecting the gazebo to Stearns Place assisted living facility.

The project included finishing the gazebo. The structure was in place, but to be used in winter it needed some work. The workers put in a dividing wall to separate visitors from residents. They insulated the gazebo and installed heat.

Using equipment from Safeguard Security in Cold Spring, a microphone and a speaker were installed on each side of the dividing wall. The top half of the wall is glass.

Stang Precision employee Ryan Symanietz is up on a ladder, working on the Visitation Station taking shape in a gazebo at Stearns Place in Paynesville. He was joined that day by Bruce Stang.

All of the labor was donated, as well as most of the supplies. Spray foam insulation was completed by McPherson Products, St. Cloud. Bork Lumber provided wood and expertise.

Everything had been set in motion very quickly so that the gazebo would be ready for Thanksgiving weekend.

It was really a community effort, said Stang. We knew we could help and didnt think twice. It was really humbling and heartwarming and exciting to be part of this.

It was just amazing, said Angie Gerhardson, housing manager. Once word got out about the project, the tenants were just buzzing. It brought a lot of hope and joy around here, just knowing someone cared that much.

The visitation station was used many hours each day throughout the holiday season. Residents sign up for one-hour slots. Up to eight people fit comfortably in the gazebo, a nice location to visit in any weather.

It was really a blessing a priceless gift to both the seniors and the family members, said DuDonne Andrie, community marketing for CentraCare Health in Paynesville. We saw quite a few social media posts about the Visitation Station. People were saying they wished they could have that at all of the senior sites.

That spurred more action and now there are three visitation stations in Paynesville: at Stearns Place, the hospital and the care center. The other two were funded through donations to the CentraCare Foundation and were finished right before Christmas.

Stang hopes that people reading about what was done in Paynesville will take the idea and run with it.

Good deeds lead to more good deeds, he said. Its a very do-able thing.

We hope this story will spur other people to do good, Andrie said.

For more information about the Visitation Stations, contact DuDonne Andrie at (320) 243-7903, ext. 42276.

An already-existing gazebo next to Stearns Place in Paynesville was finished and set up to be a place for visits with residents. The project was completed just in time for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. The labor was donated, as were much of the supplies, by area businesses. Ryan Symanietz is preparing lumber for the gazebo.

Like a good mullet, the party of Bowlegged BBQ is in the back. The front is functional stucco with a barred screen door. Its either a shame the front doesnt speak to the sheer joy inside, or its a blessing because the people who know get to keep this secret for themselves.

One step inside and you get itthe pop, the visual confetti, the unrelenting stimuli. An oil painting of a man with a guitar abuts one of a man blowing a trumpet, photos upon photos of famed and lesser-known Black musicians. Two foot-tall figurines play brass instruments atop the cooler full of waters and Shastas and Gatorades. Gigantic basketball shoes hang near the back door. Not sure if theyre Shaquille ONeals or not, but anyone with feet that big definitely has a sports drink named after them. Every inch of this place is an homage to some great player or cultural force. Its hoarding as a joyful creative impulse.

Music thumps and screams out back on the patio. A single, muscular music machine, blinking various colored lights to the beat, absolutely blares Jackson 5, Heavy D, old soul and R&B and rap and hip-hop. Its 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, dark and a little cold outside. But crackling embers and woodsmoke from a few fire pits warms the whole place and backyard lights set the mood.

This is what the backyard of a barbecue joint should look likelong picnic tables made of whatever material school cafeteria tables are, two gazebos the sort you can buy at Home Depot and assemble if youve got cold beer to offer a few handy friends, art painted by locals (you can tell because some is half-finished on a table), a full camper trailer Id like to live in for a while.

I dont want elevated design with my barbecue; I sure dont want a plant wall. I prefer that lawn chairs and brisket aesthetic, like Im borrowing fresh air outside someones home. Bowlegged is nicer than that, like the yard of a friend who owns a hammer or two and tends to entertain everyone on the block. Seven or eight men sit at a table under a gazebo, holding court. No one else is here. Feels like we walked in on a family gathering. Turns out we have.

How you guys doing? says a man walking over, huge smile, arms out for the welcome, a little bowlegged. I note this only because Ive read about himKen Stance, proudly bowlegged (its listed as his middle name on the website), and the restaurants namesake.

Get you a drink? he asks. A minute later, he returns with two ice cold drinks. He explains his familys lived in this part of town, Oak Park, for generations. He owned this corner lot at Market and Toyne Streets and wasnt sure what to do with it. When his sister, Maria J Reese, retired from the educational system, she convinced him to turn it into a restaurant. Shed cook all the sides, hed just need to handle the meat.

I didnt know a thing about barbecue, but I said, Well, why not? Give me a couple months. I ruined so much good meat. He laughs.

That was 2017, and now hes figured it out. The pork ribs are especially tender and juicy, and the sauce on both that and the brisket is the sort of thing that would make computer paper taste good. We dig through the sidesdirty rice with what seems to have a great little whiff of oregano, cheesy mac n cheese, sweet greens, creamy black-eyed peas, savory cornbread. Business has been brisk, Stance says, even better during the shutdown (barbecue by the pound is a great model for takeout, since its always been the thing you bring to a picnic or outdoor get-together anyhow). Theyre looking at opening a second location.

I tell him how much I love this back patio and how I might just squat here for a while if thats okay. You should see it on weekends; its packed, he says, giving the obligatory clarification that its done safely spaced. People out here playing dominos and cards. Its a good time.

Halfway through our meal his brother, Carlos Stance, checks in on us, all smiles. We gather our leftover brisket and walk out that door. I look back at that unflashy front of Bowlegged and head home to spill its secret a little more.
