Didn't plan on housing crisis
-- Land-use blueprint hasn't prevented conflicts -- Could curtail city's growth
One of the best jokes about Winnipeg -- and hardly the most unfair -- was this city was planned during 10 crazy days in 1905.
Back in the midst of the railway boom, streets were carved out of the prairie and buildings went up at a rate determined only by the financial limitations of the city's early entrepreneurs. There wasn't anything resembling modern urban planning, a process by which a proposed use for a piece of land is considered within the context of what already surrounds it -- and what might surround it in the future.
What we had, instead, was a development binge that resulted in modern hangovers such as the CPR Winnipeg Yards splitting downtown from the North End and heavy industry abutting residential streets in St. Boniface. A century after the boom ended, Winnipeg is still trying to contend with an odd jumble of overlapping land uses approved at a time when only Chicago was growing faster among North American cities.
While the steam escaped from the railway boom almost a century ago, this city never actually stopped growing. It just grew more slowly than other major Canadian centres and is now virtually tied with Hamilton as the eighth and ninth largest metropolitan areas in Canada.
The Winnipeg metro area is now estimated at 773,000 people, with 700,000 residing within the city itself, according to Statistics Canada. And more people are expected soon.
In fact, our modest but resurgent growth forced city planners to come up with a new land-use blueprint a few years back -- Our Winnipeg, whose goal is nothing less ambitious than to map out how the city will house and employ an additional 180,000 people over the next couple of decades.
Much of this document involves general land-use principles planners are supposed to consider when they make development decisions. But there are actual maps marking out future areas where the likes of new roads, industrial areas and residential homes are supposed to go.
On page 75 of an Our Winnipeg handbook called Complete Communities, you'll find a map of 15 "precincts" set aside for purely residential purposes. One of those areas, Precinct H, sits at the northeast corner of Transcona.
Over the past few years, the primary land owner of Precinct H, a developer called North Grassie Properties, has been trying to put together a plan to actually build some homes on this land. Frustrated by delays, the developer's agent complained in November the city was holding it back by demanding additional consultation with its neighbours.
As Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt explained, some of those neighbours include heavy industrial operations, both inside city limits and in the neighbouring RM of Springfield, all of whom fear their activities could be curtailed. So in one of his last acts as a member of council's property committee, Wyatt instructed the city to come up with a new Precinct H planning process that would take the concerns of industrial operators into account. One of those businesses is Border Chemical, a sulfuric acid manufacturer that occupies a sprawling complex on the north side of Gunn Road. In an interview earlier this month, general manager Dennis Smerchanski said he's concerned about plans for homes and a schoolyard a few hundred metres away from an access road for sulfuric acid trucks.
He said North Grassie is mistaken in its belief heavy industry on the edge of Transcona supports the idea of nearby residential development. But more importantly, he said nobody from the city -- neither a planner, nor any other official -- asked Border Chemical's opinion about earmarking the neighbouring land for new homes.
"After being here for 53 years, we'd like to see a process where we have input into decisions," Smerchanski said.
In other words, the city's new land-use guide, intended to map out future growth in such a way that minimizes land-use conflicts, proposed a new residential area within sight of a sulfuric acid factory. Consultations were only done with the majority owner of Precinct H -- not the neighbouring land owners.
To be fair to the city, no development on Precinct H can proceed until everyone is happy. The time it will take to consult all the players is what upset North Grassie Properties in the first place.
But it doesn't inspire much confidence in the city's future growth when one out of 15 areas earmarked for new single-family homes is already the subject of a land-use conflict.
Already faced with a rental-apartment crisis, Winnipeg is running out of land for new homes. It will take more than colour-coded maps and promises of consultation to solve this problem before the absence of housing severely curtails Winnipeg's growth.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

I have been in this
for 40 minutes now. If you think thats not bad, then not sure what is.
I believe Open World PvP is on the "to-do list" just not on the top of it. I assume that sort of thing would take months to make and right now i doubt they have the time.
40 mins? Sure, i agree, that's not good. But the reason for that is most like because most players don't think the ground combat system is very fun (including me). That's an other issue but my main problem with ground is the skills system. Right now it feels like It's either; be good at space or be good at ground, or mediocre on both.

Stated profits, however, fell from pounds 326.5m to pounds 271.2m after exceptional charges, mainly relating to the closure of the Rumbelows electricals business. Dividend total rise from 34p to 36.5p. EMI is forming a joint venture with Apple Computer to speed the introduction of the enhanced Compact Disc format.

Hey all,
I'm planning on making a spiced version of a brown ale that I made previously as a winter ale. I had previously made the base recipe (itself an adaptation of the Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale recipe from Sam Caligione's book) from extract only, but I converted it to partial mash, scaled back the hops, and used Jamil's spicing schedule with it. What do y'all think? Anything you would recommend about the hopping or spicing schedule? Also, would you leave the sliced ginger in for fermentation or leave it in the kettle after cooling and racking into the fermenter?
Batch Size: 5 Gal
Efficiency: 70%Fermentables
4# Pale 2-row
4# Light DME
10 oz Crystal 60
10 oz British Amber
8 oz Brown Sugar
8 oz Chocolate Malt
2 oz Roasted Barley
Mash grains at 153*F in 8.25 Qts of water for 60 min
Bring to boil, add brown sugar and DME, boil for 60 minSpices (all at flameout):
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1oz sliced fresh ginger
1/8th tsp nutmeg
1/8th tsp all spice Hops
0.5 Oz Nugget (60 min)
0.5 Oz Amarillo (flameout)

Hi, everyone
I have been a member of the Hosta Forum for years, but this is my first post to the Quilting Forum.
I started a quilting project about 4 years ago, but I soon found that my old machine wasn't up to the challenge. I spent more time dealing with the machine than I did sewing, so I put the project aside. A couple of months ago I visited an avid quilter and was re-inspired. This time the first thing I did was buy a new machine, and wow, what a difference. These are photos of my first project which I just finished. I plan to fill in the spaces next to the tree trunks with a meandering stitch as soon as I take the machine quilting class I'm signed up for and do some practicing.
I'm just finishing a small wall hanging for my office/sewing room, and I just purchased fabric for a baby quilt. My son and his wife are "working" on a baby, so I figured I'd better get working on a quilt. I need to get rid of this full time job so I can spend more time quilting, but winter's coming and the hosta are dying down, so I should have more time.
I've already gotten so much information from the forum. I hope in the future I can be a contributor too.
Welcome. It is great that your interest has re-emerged. It sound as if you are well on your way to being a seasoned quilter. Your tree skirt is lovily, I really like the star center.
Looking forward to hearing more about your progress and seeing your accomplishments. Jayne
I started out at a different GardenWeb spot too I came to this forum a few years ago, after many years on the Florida Gardening forum.
Your tree skirt is beautiful! Excellent job! Which machine did you get? It was obviously a good choice for you.
Welcome aboard the quilting board! We're glad you found us!
Your first project turned out GREAT! I really find the pattern and colors appealing!
Please continue to share with us about the start of your journey into quilting, and we're here to offer suggestions & help whenever you might need it!
Thank you for the warm welcome.
The skirt is from a book called Mostly Christmas by Calico Printworks, Racine, WI, telephone 262-632-4224. I saw the quilt made up in a quilt shop. There's no paper piecing involved.
The machine I got is a Janome Memory Craft 6600. I really love it. It has a 9" throat (I think that's what you call the distance between the needle and the body of the machine), so it's easier to work on larger pieces. And all the stitches - it'll take me years to explore them all.
I took an applique class, and I'm signed up for a paper piecing class and the machine quilting class. My dream is to someday do a quilt where you take a landscape photo and turn it into a quilt. That's a way into the future though.
I'm really excited about this baby quilt I'm just starting. It's a Bunny Hill Designs pattern with sailboats on it. I'm an avid sailboat racer so I hope this little grandchild-to-be takes an interest too. The main color is aqua-green, good for either a boy or girl.
Well I'd better get started. The fabric just came out of the dryer. Thank you again for making me feel at home.

Upcoming Meeting
21st Annual Awards LuncheonApril 22, 2015
Join CMAA New England as we honor professional and project achievement as well as academic excellence.
Welcome to CMAA New England Chapter
The CMAA New England Chapter was formed in 1991 by a small but industrious group of professionals devoted to construction in a management role. The Chapter started off slowly but can now boast close to 510 members and 60 Certified Construction Managers. With the addition of Owner Members such as the Massachusetts Port Authority, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and some very large private firms, membership has grown over 20% per year. Recently, MassDOT has also expressed an interest in becoming a member and NE Chapter Board members are in discussions with them. This upsurge is an indication of the rising importance of construction management within our industry, and certainly of the value of the CCM certification.
At the national level, the New England Chapter was most recently awarded the Chapter of the Year in 2014 for medium size chapters. It has also generated two national CMAA presidents, a national Person of the Year award recipient, and a national Owner Member of the Year.
Locally, the New England Chapter Board is comprised of 18 members, consisting of 5 Officers and 13 Directors. All Board Members are volunteers who devote many hours to enhancing the Chapter's activities. Many serve as Chairs and Vice Chairs on various committees ranging from Advisory/Governance to Young Members.
The Chapter offers numerous activities to the membership, some of which are:
- Monthly Breakfast Programs on a variety of topics
- Owners' Forum Luncheon (4-5 Public & Private Owners with focus on their CIPs')
- Annual Project Awards (applications, evaluations, and Awards ceremony)
- Scholarships for CM Students from 5 area colleges/universities
- Professional Certification Classes
- Construction Legislation Tracking & Alerts
- Seasonal Newsletters
- Young Member Committee (project site visits and socials)
- Annual Golf Outing for CM Student Scholarships
We urge members to consider volunteering some of their time to an activity or committee that interests them which, if they are interested, may eventually lead to becoming a Board member (please refer to our Committee tab for selections and contacts). Please keep in mind that the future endeavors of the Chapter, and CMAA, are dependent on the managed succession of tasks and services.
Our Mission
The Mission of CMAA is to promote the profession of Construction Management and the use of qualified Construction Managers on capital projects and programs.
Our Vision
The Vision of CMAA is that all owners will realize capital project and program success by using professionally qualified Construction Managers.

The Firth of Forth, Fife side
What a tiny, picturesque little town! There were fantastic little views of both the Forth Bridge (Rail bridge, Red, Built in 1890) and the Fort Road Bridge (for cars, silver, built in 1964). They both span the Firth of Forth (the water), between Fife (all these 'F' words!) and Edinburgh.

The firm traces its roots to the pioneering role of the legendary Sol Hurok, the great 20th century impresario, whose dominant position in North America spanned half a century between the 1920s lasting into the 1970s. With the goal of continuing the Hurok legacy, ICM Artists, a subdivision of International Creative Management, was formed in 1976 from Hurok Concerts and became independent again in 2006 as Opus 3 Artists LLC.
Opus 3 Artists is led by President and CEO David V. Foster and a respected team of managers. The company includes a talented and dedicated staff of booking representatives and travel, repertoire, marketing and tour production specialists, all sharing a common passion for artistic excellence, who strive to respond to the needs and expectations of presenting organizations, symphony orchestras and opera companies of every size throughout the world.
Opus 3 Artists' first-class roster includes instrumentalists, vocalists, conductors, composers, chamber music ensembles and touring chamber and symphony orchestras, complemented by a growing roster of dance and theater companies, jazz, world and new music ensembles and artists.
True to its Hurok legacy, Opus 3 Artists continues to be a leader in discovering and developing young artists by helping to establish the network and foundation for their careers. There are many impressive examples of this long-term commitment to young artists who are now major figures in the international cultural scene.

Who's River is it Anyway?
Desoto Magazines article on the Buffalo National River in Arkansas Ozarks.
The end of 2014 brought a legal victory so significant for the Buffalo National River watershed in Arkansas that the nonprofit environmental law organization Earthjustice called it "a rare win against industrial agriculture and federal malfeasance."
Congress established the Buffalo National River in 1972 as America's first national river. Over a million people visit this national park each year, spending over $46 million annually in local communities. Activities at the park include canoeing, fishing, swimming, caving, camping, hiking, hunting, and sightseeing.
Last month, U.S. District Judge D. Price Marshall found two federal agencies liable for illegally guaranteeing portions of approximately $3.6 million in loans applied for by C&H Hog Farms, a 6,500-animal factory farm that began operating on a tributary of the river in 2013. The two federal agencies—the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA)—guaranteed these loans despite failing to conduct adequate environmental reviews.

"If ever there was a report that makes the case for the need for President Obama's preschool-for-all proposal, this report is it," said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaking at a release of the NIEER report on Monday.
Not all the news is bad on the preschool front, and state funding and enrollment vary dramatically from state to state. Ten states, for instance, have no public preschool program at all, while eight enroll more than half of all 4-year-olds in public pre-K programs. Washington, D.C., has the highest percentage, with more than 90 percent of 4-year-olds and nearly 70 percent of 3-year-olds enrolled, and Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia all served more than 60 percent of 4-year-olds in state-funded pre-K during the 2011-12 school year. Eleven states, meanwhile, have programs but served fewer than 10 percent of 4-year-olds.
The lack of enrollment growth for that school year, according to the report, was almost entirely due to 16 states that reduced their enrollment from the previous year – including four that reduced it by more than 10 percent.
And enrollment, cautions Dr. Barnett, is not the whole picture. Research makes clear that the benefits from preschool are only seen in high-quality programs, he says, and both the reduction in funding and the loss of "quality benchmarks" – things like comprehensive standards, training and degree requirements for teachers, and site visits – are troubling to him.

Shares in France's Iliad fell more than 4 percent after the low-cost telecoms operator founded by billionaire Xavier Niel reported slower growth at its mobile phone business Free.
Iliad said the number of new mobile customers fell to 640,000 in the third quarter from 720,000 in the second, suggesting that a price war with more established mobile operators is making it harder for Iliad's (Paris, France) Free Mobile service to lure away their customers.

Russia's MegaFon has flagged growth in revenue and profits on the back of rising demand for mobile data services and an increase in smartphone sales.
The operator – Russia's third biggest after MTS (Moscow, Russia) and VimpelCom (Amsterdam, Netherlands) – said revenues for the three months ending September were up by 9%, to RUB77.5 billion ($2.37 billion), while net profit rose by 2.9%, to RUB15.3 billion, compared with the same period last year.
Portugal Telecom has reported drops in revenue and earnings for the three months ending September due to the weakness of the Brazilian real and a slump in domestic sales.
The Portuguese incumbent flagged an 11.3% fall in operating revenues, to €1.45 billion ($1.95 billion), and said net income plummeted by 66.4%, to just €21 million, between the third quarters of 2012 and 2013.
Portugal Telecom (Lisbon, Portugal) said its performance in its domestic market continued to be affected by intense competition and poor macroeconomic conditions.
Network equipment maker Juniper Networks says Barclays executive Shaygan Kheradpir will take over from Kevin Johnson as chief executive at the start of 2014.

The world's second-largest mobile operator, which is using some of the proceeds from the $130 billion sale of its U.S. arm to upgrade its infrastructure, said it would spend 3 billion pounds in Europe, 1.5 billion in its emerging markets and the rest on fixed-line assets, enterprise and its retail arm.

New to peonies!
Hello, peony lovers and enthusiasts. I have always loved peonies, but never thought they would do well in the sweltering heat of Southern California. Last Spring, while wandering around a local nursery, I came across the gorgeous Itoh Bartzella and just couldn't help myself. The plant was well established, leafy, and had a good 6-8 buds ready to bloom. $80 later (yes, this was the most expensive single plant purchase I have ever made!), I was the proud owner of a peony plant.
I am very limited as to in-ground planting space, so I decided to opt for a huge ceramic pot. I was worried that since the peony prefers to be in-ground, that it would not do well. However, lo-and-behold, my peony plant has sprouted and the shoots with leaves are already almost a foot tall!
I am itching to go purchase another peony to my potted garden. The $80-$100 price tag on peonies at my nursery is a little steep (they only carry the itoh kind), and was thinking of ordering a bare root plant online. Hmm... decisions... anyone have any advice as to which online nurseries offer the best quality bare roots?
I have attached a picture of my blooms from last year. Can't wait for the lovely flowers to bloom again this year.
Thanks for the heads-up about Vermont Wildflower Farm, casey1. I just ordered 3 Itohs and 2 tree peonies for less than the price I've found on-line for 2 Itohs. Hope they're nice!
Peonybee--I share your excitement about these plants. I first saw them in Korea when I was stationed there in the military, never saw one growing up in TX. Bought my first one 17 years ago when we bought our 1st house and was hooked from then on. I think I have around 90 varieties now.....

How fast do hibs grow from seed?
I just started some hib seeds Friday 12-28. I already have 4 sprouts as of this morning. I am wondering how fast these grow when started from seed? I have them under lights with bottom heat. Any info from folks who have started these from seed would be appreciated. Was hoping I could get a heads up on how soon I am going to have to expand my set-up for these guys.
thank you,
Daniella, I've never started them inside, however, I've
winter sown them regularly. They did well and I even got
blooms the second year...I've heard that from some, you
may even get them to bloom the first year. I transplanted
several from my holding bed and have more to go. Which
ones are you growing?
Good luck!
Hey Margaret, I was tempted to winter sow them but chickened out, lol. I have hardies, Southern Belle mix. Only had 10 seeds, so I didnt want to try my luck outside. From what I read, starting these inside early, I should have blooms this summer. This is my first year starting seeds so early inside. Normally I wait till Early April and sow on my enclosed back porch. I hope I dont lose these.
Which kinds do you have?

Jochen Zeitz, CEO: "We had a good start into the new year from a bottom line perspective which highlights the effectiveness of our comprehensive restructuring and reengineering efforts. Assuming a continuous improvement of the economic outlook and a planned increase of supplier orders, we anticipate low to mid single digit growth for the full year, while net earnings should jump significantly to complete the expected earnings rebound. We are now looking forward to the upcoming World Cup and to a successful integration of our newly acquired Cobra Golf business."
Sales and Earnings Development January-March 2010
Global Brand Sales
Worldwide PUMA brand sales, which include consolidated and license sales, decreased by 2.3% to € 720.6 million.
Footwear sales were down by 6.0% to € 382.8 million and Accessories by 3.1% to € 90.3 million. Apparel sales increased by 4.3% to € 247.5 million.
Consolidated Sales
PUMA's consolidated sales in the first quarter were down by 2.7% currency-neutral and 2.1% in Euro terms to € 683.1 million. This development should be seen in the context of last year's sales increase of 3.6%, which was mainly driven by closeout sales in order to reduce inventories. In addition, supplier orders for the first half of 2010 were placed with caution. Excluding the previous year's inventory clearance, sales were slightly above last year. Sales in Footwear declined currency-neutral by 5.1% to € 378.8 million and Accessories decreased by 1.6% to € 77.5 million. Apparel sales rose by 1.2% to € 226.8 million due to a positive development in PUMA's teamsport business. In regional terms, sales in EMEA were down currency-neutral by 6.2% to € 351.8 million (share: 51.5%) and Asia/Pacific declined by 8.4% to € 141.0 million (share: 20.6%). Sales in the Americas region significantly improved by 9.8% to € 190.4 million (share: 27.9%) with both regions – North America and Latin America – positively contributing to this strong performance.
Gross Profit Margin
In the first quarter, PUMA's gross profit margin reached a strong, sector-leading 52.2% compared to 52.1% last year. The Footwear segment reported 50.7% versus 50.4%, Apparel was at 53.5% compared to 53.7% and Accessories remained unchanged to last year at 55.6%. In terms of region, the gross profit margin in EMEA softened to 54.3% after 55.1%, Americas rose to 47.4% from 46.7% – driven by Latin America – and Asia/Pacific improved to 53.4% from 51.0% last year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 4.6% from € 254.1 million to € 242.3 million. As a percentage of sales, the cost ratio improved from 36.4% last year to 35.5% because of the cost reduction program introduced last year. Expenses in marketing/retail and depreciation decreased due to the improvement to the overall retail store portfolio.
PUMA's EBIT before special items increased by 4.4% to € 119.0 million versus € 114.0 million last year. As a percentage of sales the EBIT margin improved from 16.3% last year to an excellent 17.4%. Taking last year's special items into account, EBIT increased from € 4.0 million to € 119.0 million.
Financial Result
The financial result was at € -1.2 million after € -1.6 million last year, as the net cash position improved significantly and led to lower interest expenses due to reduced bank debts.
Net Earnings
The pre-tax profit (EBT) jumped from € 2.4 million to € 117.8 million. Net earnings increased to € 83.1 million from € 5.6 million based on a tax rate of 29.5% versus an operational tax rate of 28.5% last year.
Earnings per share rose to € 5.51 from € 0.37 and diluted earnings per share were at € 5.50 compared to
€ 0.37 last year.
Net Assets and Financial Position
As of March 31, 2010, total assets increased by 2.4% to € 2,159.3 million while PUMA's equity ratio improved significantly from 56.6% to 64.0% this year.
Working Capital
Inventories declined by 15.9% to € 375.7 million and accounts receivable went up by 6.7% to € 568.6 million. Accounts payables increased by 7.2% to € 265.5 million. Working capital remained stable at € 595.6 million compared to € 596.9 million last year.
Capital investment amounted to € 7.7 million in the first quarter after € 11.6 million in the previous year.
The free cashflow came in at € -73.4 million compared to € -118.0 million last year.
Cash Position
Total cash by the end of March jumped 59.5% to € 426.8 million after € 267.6 million last year. Bank debts were reduced by 41.8% from € 63.2 million to € 36.8 million. As a result, the net cash position improved significantly by 90.7% from € 204.5 million to € 390.0 million.
Outlook 2010
Assuming a further improvement in the overall economic outlook, sales for the full year 2010 should strengthen accordingly throughout the year. The company's pre-tax profit is expected to improve by at least 70% in 2010 while sales should post an increase in the low to mid single digits.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
The very well-lit 120 m2 roof deck apartment offers space for up to 6 people. Here we are dealing with an apartment with attractive paintings and a modern, but cozy atmosphere. The apartment was completely luxuriously renovated in 2004. There is an elevator. From two secluded roof decks with southern fora, you can enjoy a stunning view above the roofs of Barcelona and the newest architectural attraction, the Torre Agbar, and the Mediterranean Sea. 3 bedrooms: the 3 rooms have day light and are located on the upper level.
Die Wohnung ist einfach nur spitze. Die Lage ist auch zentral und alles ist gleich in direkter Nähe. Meine Frau war ebenfalls total begeistert und freut sich schon auf den nächsten Aufenthalt. Der Vermieter beantwortet gerne alle Fragen und kümmert sich rührend um einen und vor Ort ist eine Dame immer als Ansprechpartnerin zu haben. Diese Ferienwohnung ist sehr zu empfehlen.
Dear Siegbert, thank you for a wonderful experience on our recent stay in your gorgeous apartment. The furnishings were beautiful with comfortable sofas, beds, and lovely antique pieces. We loved being able to dine in your large dining room with a table comfortable for entertaining. We loved it. Having three bedrooms and two baths was a plus and the neighborhood was convenient for shopping and close to the beautiful Sagrada Familia and transportation right on the corner. The terraces with the lovely plants were an added bonus. Thank you again and we look forward to spending time there in the future. Sincerely yours, Otto and Van.
Having spent a month in this lovely penthouse apartment, I can assure you that it is quite an enjoyable experience. The duplex apartment itself is immaculate with lovely furnishings and all the conveniences needed. It has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms which affords one the luxury of space as well as sharing with others or having visitors without the loss of privacy. The dining room is large and the kitchen fully equipped for preparing diners when one can't decide on which authentic neighborhood restaurant to choose any given night. The terraces, one off the dining room and the other off a bedroom have beautiful views of the city and sea, and are perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying your morning café con leche in the warm sun. The owner has an on site manager fluent in both English and Spanish, and is available when needed. The apartment is conveniently located to all tourist attractions by either walking or public transportation, literally steps from the apartment. In all, it is very pleasant and I would not hesitate to highly recommend it to anyone.
The top-floor apartment is a charming residence situated close to Sagrada Familia. The two terraces have a variety of Mediterranean flowers and provide excellent views toward the Barcelona sea front. Both terraces are secluded and receive sunshine throughout the day. The lower terrace is wonderful for dining in the open air, while listening to the hum of Barcelona below. Inside, the apartment boasts three upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom, while downstairs there is a spacious living room, a kitchen and a second bathroom. Two sofas are also available in the living room for extra guests if necessary.
Access to and from the apartment is excellent, with the Encants metro stop (line 2) and bus routes on the adjoining streets. Separate underground parking facilities are also available behind the building. If you arrive with a car, the independent garage facilities (not associated with the apartment) are recommended as parking on the street is challenging at best. If you arrive on foot, then this apartment is very well situated in the centre of Barcelona. It is possible to walk throughout the new and old town from this location. Sagrada Familia is roughly 6 minutes walking distance, while a sojourn to the beach-front (Port Olympica) is approximately 30 minutes. Passeig-de-Gracia (a major shopping area) is only a 15 minute walk, while the old town is perhaps 25 minutes walking, and the Encants metro is only one minute away for any journey.
Supermarkets, wine merchants, chemists and medical facilities are all closely located, and many street cafes are nearby. Good restaurants are further away in Gracia or elsewhere in the city, but a return to the apartment after enjoying the buzz of Barcelona provides a welcome Mediterranean atmosphere for the start of a new day.
If you are looking for a wonderful base, with sunshine and charm we highly recommend this apartment.
Dear Sigi:
Please allow me to tell you aobut the wonderful time the five of us had from July 14 to July 18 of this year. A cousin recomended that we rent your condo in Barcelona for our very short stay. It was one of the very best times we have ever had anwhere else in Europe. Upon our arrival we found your condo spic and span not . We we just astonished with the quality of furniture and appliances. The girls just fell in love with the mixture of modern and antique pieces you have so skillfully blended. The kitchen, I must admit, was in constant use, so that we could take advantage of the large terraces where we ate many meals, enjoying the breezes of the Mediterranian and the panorama of the city. The location is ideal, close to the great beach, the shops, restaurants, transportation, and last, but not least, the proximity to great cathedral of La Sagrada Familia. WE attended Mass evey day and we in awe of the majesty of the building.
We want to also thank you for telling us about the first class restaurant on the beach, Monchos. The food and service were impeccable, and to our surprise, not expensive at all. Oh, and by the way, the chief Antonio treated us like family, when we mentioned your name, and he sends you his best and wants to know when you are going back to Barcelona and enjoy his great food
We would like to return next year, but for a longer stay to enjoy the beauty of the city and gorge ourselves on the great food on the beach that your friend Antonio serves,along with a few bottles of El Marquis de Riscal.
Very truly yours,
Fernando Garza-Barrera
Dear Sigi:
I wanted to let you know that the time spent in this condo was the best I have ever spent. Not only are the accomdations top of the line, but the location is also. The proximity to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral was fantastic, in addition to that are the shops, restaurants and the sheer beauty of the city. I have talked to some cousins about it and we are planning an extended stay next year.
I must also comment on your taste of furnishings, the mixture of antiques and modern is sheer poetry in my book. You have anticipated every need that any one could dream of having in a vacation rental.
I just have one regret and that is that we could not stay longer, five days in March was just not enough, but we are waiting for next year.
Again, thank you for such a glorious time in Barcelona.
Higinio Fernando
Direct in the center of Barcelona, very centrally located and still with the metro right in front of your house, only 800 m to the beach, next to the famous church Sagrada Familia, shopping facilities, restaurants, shopping in front of the door. This district forms the geographic center of the city. Here you will find the quadratic structure of houses in blocks, each 100 meters long - typical for Barcelona. There is an unending selection of shops, markets, restaurants, cafes, etc. Furthermore, most galleries and buildings are from the 18th century. Here you can can feel comfortable with your family and from here you can discover the attractions of the city together.

The Home Team has done it again, transforming an underutilized and inhospitable screen porch into an attractive arena for social gatherings. With a tiny café table and just a few potted plants, the 10-by-30-foot space was strictly no frills. Over the course of several days, editor-in-chief Donna Sapolin (center), flanked by stylist Stephen Antonson (left), and deputy articles editor Nicole Sforza, brought the space to life. The trio built a roomy, picnic-style table and matching benches; added a serving console and extra seating; and covered the windows looking into the interior rooms with simple drapery panels. Now, this outdoor oasis is a delightful destination. Click here to view the slideshow.
