Sometimes, you just want to go off to see some other city's history. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, you can wander through nine private residences on the Newberg Historic Home Tour.

For a town settled by no-nonsense Quakers and ambitious hops peddlers, brick makers and store owners, Newberg has many ornamented houses. Turn-of-the-last-century dwellings donned decorative shingles and hand-carved adornments. Guests were greeted by Doric columns on cast stone pedestals and glazed front doors.

Tour goers ($15, yamhillenrichmentsociety.org) will see a 1905 American Foursquare clad with shiplap, plaster corner boards and frieze boards. The interior was completely restored by the son of the longtime owners except for the red wallpaper in the entry. The two-story house is furnished with antiques and nicely curated collections, from ruby flashed glass to shaving mugs.

A well-preserved 1912 Colonial Revival-style three-level house was built for the owner of a downtown general store. Much of it is original, thanks to the first owner living there for 60 years and current owners respecting its origins. American chestnut trees are as old 102 years as the house.

An Italianate residence built in 1881 was bought four years later by the uncle of Herbert Hoover. The future U.S. president lived with the family while attending Friends Pacific Academy (now George Fox University).

Other stops on the well-planned tour are Queen Anne-style houses built in 1895, 1896 and 1904, an 1883 Eastlake Stick-style house, a 1898 Queen Anne Vernacular-style parsonage for the Newberg First Baptist Church and a 1908 Colonial Revival-Craftsman house.

The tour benefits Yamhill Enrichment Society (503-883-9654), which supports community education, arts, history and agriculture projects.

Why leave wine country? The tour is followed from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. by a Garden Party ($20) where bites will be offered by Jac's Deli & Frozen Custard, Rouge Catering at Subterra Restaurant,Ruddick/Wood Tavern and the new, talked-about Recipe - A Neighborhood Kitchen.

Wineries offering tastes are Artisanal Wine Cellars, Fire + Flood, Anne Amie Vineyards and Ancient Cellars.

One of the few timeshares in New YorksMidtowns Manhattan Clubhas been banned from selling shares in the condo or foreclosing on any units until the attorney generals office completes an investigation, Crains reports. Developer Ian Bruce Eichner and partners have been accused of overbooking rooms, barring owners from being able to book rooms, in part because rooms in the building are rented to the general public.

Porches are back! declaresThe Wall Street Journal. Were they ever out of fashion? Apparently they werewith everyone wanting to hole up in their air conditioned homes for a while, but now, thankfully, the porch is making a comeback, with wealthy homeowners keen for any opportunity to add more bells or whistles. The wealthier we feel, and the more feature-rich we desire our homes to be, the more likely they are to have a porch, says one real estate consultant.

You know what house has a delightful porch? Gracie Mansion, where the de Blasio family finally, finally stayed last night for the first time, according to the Wall Street Journal. The family did not begin their drawn-out move in until last month.

A Montauk homeowner rented his four-bedroom home for $1,600 a night and was shockedshocked!that his renters hosted wild parties that involved lots of noise and maybe even outdoor sex, according to the Post. We have now, apparently, entered the phase where homeowners charge enormous, five-star hotel prices to rent their homes, but have not yet realized that this might entail visitors using their homes like hotels, where they are free to have large parties that yield wild sex and a lawn strewn with red plastic cup and cigarette butts?

Speaking of parties: Jerermiahs Vanishing New York reports that Ding Dong Lounge in Morningside Heights is closing down due to the usual: landlord greed, avarice and douchebaggery via one of the DJs there. With Ding Dong, Rodeo Bar and the Subway Inn closing, should we fear the end of bars with cheap mixed drinks, cheaper beer and permanently sticky floors?

In the increasingly wealthy, bland New York everything that used to be something else is now a Starbucks: a longtime Upper East Side dry cleaning shop on the corner of 80th Street and Second Avenue has been booted by the landlord sans rent negotiation to make way for a Starbucks, DNAInfo reports. Fortunately one of the dry cleaners clients works in real estate and found her a spot across the street.

With all these changes, its natural to worry that you arent taking your out-of-town visitors to the authentic New York, or whatever they think the authentic New York should be. Well, dont worry about it, says Gothamist. There is no authentic New York, just as there is no authentic New Yorker. Mostly, just avoid anything that packages itself as authentic. Like Little Italy.

Will yellow cabs soon join the ranks of quaint as well? Lyft has plans to launch a modified version of its car-sharing service, according toCrainsa model that would use commercially-licensed drivers rather than volunteers working for donations. The change will allegedly allow the company to launch a soft version of the service this coming Friday, though the change in business plan has required a pause on launch plans in upstate cities.

Something to keep in mind: not all innovations are better than the old-fashioned method. i.e. A 50-year old New York man has decided to use a tried and true method to find the woman of, if not his dreams, then at least a dream by posting flyers with his photo around the city that declare he is looking for a girlfriend, Gothamist reports. Well, anything is better than online dating, we guess.
