The pavilion will be open free of charge from Thursday to Sunday. Thanks to a collaboration with Gelateria Pellegrino, sorbets, made only with sugar and fruit, will be recreated.
Villa Borghese’s Loggia dei Vini has reopened to the public with the “Lavinia” project, which combines history, architecture and contemporary art. This fascinating but lesser-known building has been restored to offer new cultural experiences. Originally used to store wines and host summer banquets, the Loggia has been renovated to include spaces dedicated to contemporary art.

The Lavinia project, inspired by painter Lavinia Fontana, was carried out in three phases, with the first completed on Oct. 19. The restoration, financed by Ghella and supervised by R.O.M.A. Consorzio under the supervision of the Capitoline Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, brought back to life the interior vault and damaged frescoes. The Wine Loggia, characterized by an oval floor plan and a large central marble table, was famous for its banquets and had a snow tunnel for creating sorbets.
The contemporary art project is curated by Salvatore Lacagnina and involves artists such as Ross Birrell & David Harding and Enzo Cucchi. Site-specific works will enrich the space until January 26, 2025. During this period, the pavilion will be open free of charge from Thursday to Sunday.

An interesting aspect of the project is the collaboration with Manuela Monteforte of Gelateria Pellegrino to recreate historic sorbets, made only with sugar and fruit. These sorbets will be available both at the Wine Lodge and at Gelateria Pellegrino, starting with the orange and lemon verbena flavor, created in collaboration with chef Alessandro Miocchi of Retrobottega.

The architectural complex of the Grotta and the Loggia dei Vini was built between 1609 and 1618
parallel to the construction of the Casino Nobile at Villa Borghese
designed for the banquets of Cardinal Scipione Borghese
was known as the “tinello de’ li gentil’ homini” and was perfectly integrated into the formal garden of the park
It formed a scenic backdrop visible to guests visiting the cardinal
intended for wine storage and connected to the Casino by a tunnel
The sumptuousness of the complex is documented by historical sources that describe elements such as Egyptian sphinxes
In the center of the Loggia was a large white marble table with recesses to keep drinks cool
A mechanism on the ceiling allowed fragrant petals to fall on diners

Meet some of the outstanding people inside Trane Technologies
and learn how we are leading the way in achieving sustainable solutions to global issues
View All Stories
Trane Technologies leaders share their perspectives on COP28
At the 28th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, Trane Technologies called for accelerated climate action
highlighting the critical need for adoption of new and existing solutions at scale and steadfastly encouraging bolder accountability
we sat down to gather their impressions from the historic event and hear how they plan to accelerate action in 2024
Q: At the conclusion of COP, delegates agreed to what is being called “the UAE Consensus,” an agreement that begins to lay the groundwork for transitioning away from fossil fuels
More than 200 nations—and on the sidelines
just about every major global brand—came together and said it’s time to change
We are living through the fastest and most systemic overhaul of the global economy in human history
Trane Technologies has been doing this work for a long time, and we’re thrilled at this progress. The elements of the agreement track closely to our 2030 Sustainability Commitments
including targets aligned with 1.5 degrees Celsius
doubling the annual rate of improvements in energy efficiency
and transitioning away from fossil fuels in all energy systems to achieve net-zero by 2050
We’re proud to provide customers with clean
electric-powered solutions that dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in buildings
industry and transport on the path to net-zero
It is truly thrilling to be a significant enabler of the transition that is underway in the sectors we serve
“We are living through the fastest and most systemic overhaul of the global economy in human history
It's our moment to sort of give ourselves a scorecard and an assessment on our exam of how far have we progressed and what else is left to do
And here's the good news—I’ve been at lots of COPS
and 10 years ago there were not the technologies
not the solutions that were needed really to make a big difference
we have technologies that are available in the marketplace
And the good news is that everyone that is needed to make these things happen - they're here at COP
and I think - other groups that are really needed to make it happen
they're gathered here for the stocktake
but I think our report card is going to show that we're well on our way
Trane Technologies is a company that's been providing innovative solutions to the marketplace for a long time
but more than that we've been a company that decided over a decade ago that we wanted to align our commitments
And so we asked the Science-Based Targets initiative to look at our plans
to look at our data and to validate that what we were doing
that our pathways were in fact meaningful and impactful
And we're the only company in the sector that has validated not just a 2030 commitment but also a net-zero commitment to 2050
So we're well on our way in terms of innovation and providing solutions that mean that the world can truly begin to transform decarbonization in buildings and in transport refrigeration in the ways that get us to what's needed to reduce the emissions in those sectors
Groups and events like the Sustainable Innovation Forum - they're really important
Why they're important is that they're bringing together all the voices that are needed - not just HVAC companies but also partners that we need to make it happen
focused on the best way to perform at a low-carbon level
But more than that they're also gathering thought leaders such as policymakers and other regulating agencies and those companies who may be interested in investing in these Technologies
Because we're all focused on the same thing
and that’s how do we solve the impacts of climate change
And how do we do that in the best and fastest way possible
Q: Many people see the UAE Consensus as an exciting agreement
How does Trane Technologies plan to leverage this momentum
Commercial HVAC EMEA: Fifteen percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come from heating and cooling buildings
The great news is that the technology exists today to significantly decarbonize the built environment
We just have to change the way we think about it
Five years ago, annual global sales of electric vehicles were about 1 million. Now it’s above 10 million. Consumers understand electric vehicles
Electrifying buildings is our next big opportunity
we’re working on shifting mindsets around this
helping consumers and business leaders to think about electric solutions like heat pumps as the sustainable choice
The other big shift is around capturing waste heat
The heating and cooling industries have existed in siloes for many years
where they need industrial temperature controls for pasteurization
and then burn gas to fire boilers to create heat
But there are much more sustainable options
It’s about capturing that waste heat and redirecting it where it’s needed
Combining heating and cooling—with sophisticated controls—in a thermal management system can be 3-4 times more efficient than traditional methods
Why is this technology not being scaled faster
helping consumers and business leaders see how big of an impact they can make on climate change by decarbonizing these spaces that have been overlooked as opportunities
Learn more about Jose’s perspective in his blog, Why Breaking Down Energy Silos is the Key to Decarbonization.
Adnan Javed, General Manager, Middle East and Africa, Commercial HVAC: One of our customers is Pure Harvest Smart Farms
controlled environment agriculture company based in the UAE
With the installation of a thermal management system
they are one of the first high-tech greenhouse projects in the Middle East
Trane® designed a sustainable electrified thermal solution to meet the cooling and heating requirements of the greenhouses
The reliability and efficiency of the electrified system directly impacted the production and cost of the produce coming from the greenhouse
The modular construction ensures minimum power and water consumption to ensure food can be locally produced at the lowest cost and highest quality
It's a great example of electrification of heating and combined heating and cooling using a thermal system
And we are proud to have helped a successful local company in its drive to contribute to the UAE’s National Strategy for Food Security by reducing food imports
and their associated food miles and carbon footprint
Learn more about sustainable food producer Pure Harvest in this episode of the Healthy Spaces Podcast
Q: Why does Trane Technologies go to meetings like COP
How does climate advocacy fit into decarbonization
Director of Global Climate Policy: We are building a new global system
A new way to create value and source energy
nonprofits and the public and private sectors to create solutions together
Accelerating decarbonization means not only developing new technologies but also advocating for policies that support them
Technology stands ready today to have a significant impact on climate change
but we can’t do it at scale—or equitably—without strong policies in place
Trane Technologies strives to have an open dialogue with policymakers and all stakeholders to build a more sustainable future for everyone
Policymakers look to Trane Technologies to better understand how to decarbonize key sectors of the economy
including developing frameworks to accelerate the uptake of effective approaches like putting waste heat to work through thermal management systems
where Trane® was founded more than 100 years ago
is helping lead our business toward a more sustainable future
As we integrate circularity into our manufacturing operations
cutting emissions and driving growth through sustainability
Jenelle Shapiro
and risks to human health and well-being continue to grow
one critical area demands our attention: the use of energy recovery technology in our cities to decarbonize buildings and transport

Print Ask Olivia La Loggia her favorite Disney character
“I like all of them,” she said with a laugh
might seem like a dream come true for Olivia
She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in 2017
who went on the week-long Hawaii trip with Olivia as well as her father Patrick and younger brother Enzo
Olivia got to meet Disney characters like Minnie Mouse
and even became friends with a Make-A-Wish girl from Tennessee during the trip
[the wish grant] was an opportunity to do the things we hadn’t been able to do for so long — get away and spend time together,” Erika said
“She could do things that were once considered high-risk
Being able to see her be free from all of those constraints that were put upon her — and as a result
the entire family — it was just completely healing.”
The celebration continued Friday, as Olivia got to be part of a virtual Hero celebration. She was celebrated on a Zoom call with Dr. Burak Ozgur of Hoag Hospital, as well as representatives from Make-A-Wish Orange County & the Inland Empire and Carlsbad-based Spinal Elements
Dr. Burak Ozgur, center, presents Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Angela Wise, right, with a $10,000 check, as Marc Yap, left, Spinal Elements director of marketing, looks on during a ceremony at Ozgur’s office in Irvine on Friday. (Kevin Chang / Staff Photographer) Spinal Elements has a program called Hero Allograft
in which it takes proceeds from the sale of allograft tissue to its surgeon partners and pays it forward to two charities
the chief of neurosurgery and spinal surgery at Hoag in Newport Beach and Irvine
helped facilitate a $10,000 donation back in May to support wishes for Orange County Make-A-Wish kids like Olivia
which is basically a tissue donation,” Ozgur said
Tissues are donated in different ways and can be used to help patients in many different ways
So when Marc [Yap] and Spinal Elements presented the idea of the Hero allograft program
“It’s really great to be offered an opportunity to help give back
because we’re already performing the surgeries anyway
To be able to use a product where the proceeds go to different charities like the Make-A-Wish Foundation
Make-A-Wish Orange County & Inland Empire corporate engagement manager
said that this donation marks the first time that Spinal Elements has teamed up with this particular chapter of Make-A-Wish
“We call it kind of like a ‘wish it forward,’ Wise said
they’re adopting a wish that happened prior to that donation
but the idea is that they’re helping to fund wishes like Olivia’s … What I’m so grateful for at Make-A-Wish Orange County & Inland Empire is that we are able to be here today
These guys are doing something that’s changing lives
Olivia had a special chocolate cake delivered to her Surf City home from Spinal Elements to eat during the Zoom call
and she definitely seemed to be enjoying it
Erika said the wish grant was special for the whole family
as they recently got back from a two-week road trip to Texas
“We spent over 70 nights at the hospital [during her treatment],” Erika said
and my husband would stay at home with our son
it was kind of like reuniting us all in one room
“She even mentioned that one night when she was in the hospital
‘I just want to all spend the night together in the same room.’ It was pretty neat for that to come to fruition
It was like putting a pretty bow on it all.”

Leona’s Sushi House showcases chef Shigenori Fujimoto’s skill across multiple cuisines
The San Fernando Valley’s long, winding Ventura Boulevard is already home to some of the region’s best sushi, but that hasn’t stopped newcomer Leona’s Sushi House from trying its hand
Leona’s has been leaning on a former Asanebo chef
and a prominent actor to try to make a dent along LA’s busy sushi strip
Fujimoto and crew create Japanese-Peruvian fare with ceviches and a tiradito de tai with Japanese sea bream
There’s also the albacore with shishito peppers and Fujimoto’s yuzu sauce
Leona’s has also developed a second menu as a nod to the space’s Italian past
That means dishes like a shimeji mushroom risotto
A full lineup of cocktails runs $18 per drink and features vodka
Though the entry appears modest from Ventura Boulevard
the Studio City restaurant’s interior is massive
For those who remember the Ceremony Bar with the retractable window
that space is now combined with the former La Loggia and adjoined by a covered courtyard with a bar and lounge for sweeping indoor-outdoor seating among samurai statues and greenery
Each menu is available across the entirety of the space’s multiple dining and lounge areas
with dinner service running Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 5 p.m
Leona’s Sushi House is now open at 11814 Ventura Blvd

Located in the hills outside of Florence (in Fiesole), Villa San Michele is another of one of those fairytale properties, this time in the form of a 15th century monastery-turned-villa. Everything about it feels like a dream, from the drive to the property, to standing on its grounds and admiring the architecture.
Everything is absolutely perfect. No exceptions.
I'd call it monastery chic: understated luxury with beautiful architecture. There are vaulted ceilings, beautiful glass window panes, period furniture. Less is absolutely more here. Bathrooms are beautiful marble with separate showers and large sunken tubs. The annex rooms have less character but are larger (with huge bathrooms) and some have gardens.
Wi-Fi was free and worked well. The view is the wow factor, though—along with the superb staff. Bath products are Bulgari luxe line, while mini-bars are well-stocked but nothing to write home about. Fresh orchids in the room was a nice plus. Apparently some rooms have hidden televisions.
We're in. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.
There is a lovely pool where you can get a massage, and a 24/7 gym kitted out with TechnoGym machines. Parking on site. Programs for kids. Cooking classes. There’s a complimentary shuttle bus service into central Florence. You'll want for nothing here except maybe a spa.

the resort offers guests and visitors alike a tempting diversity from modern Spanish fine dining to artfully crafted cocktails and award-winning Japanese cuisine
The resort’s ‘La Loggia’ is the restaurant for fine Mediterranean flavours
Recently The Luxury Editor had a lunch at La Loggia to experience first-hand the restaurant’s ‘Mediterranean culinary inspiration’

We’re leading by example through responsible operations
reimagining our systems and taking action to have a restorative impact on the environment
As capacity for data centers continues to grow
so does demand for our sustainable technology
we are meeting customer demand for high-efficiency chillers while reducing the environmental impact of our operations
It's a hidden gem to have the world's leading HVAC company in a town of 50,000 people
And we're sitting in our technology building today
La Crosse was given a gift and it was the gift of volume and so many customers want our chillers
A lot of the customers come to Trane with requests that nobody else can do
And we can do it because we have the team that can make it happen
we are really talking about utilizing electric equipment as opposed to gas fired equipment that's going to create emissions
We have the opportunity with water cooled chillers to take that heat and use it in a building
The ability to optimize energy efficiency and redesign systems so that we can utilize electric means of heating and cooling
are one of the major impacts that we have across the united states and in future designs
We are a technology company that heats and cools buildings
So one of the first projects that our laboratory team did was to develop a closed loop solution for some of our facilities
Really significantly reduced the water consumption of La Crosse
The other one that I'm really excited about is the thermal management system that we put into our new training center in building 13
So this is a completely new HVAC system that got us definitely outside of our comfort zone
it’s a fully electrified system that we're able to do both heating and cooling in a very cold climate
we focused on the zero waste to landfill initiative
As well as reducing emissions by engaging in a five-year contract for renewable sources
Trane La Crosse is 100% powered by renewable energy
If we think about our innovation in our company
we think about our goals around sustainability
Our people are really the connecting point between our innovation and those sustainable solutions
The Graduate Training Program continues to be a differentiator for Trane Technologies
It is the largest investment of anybody in the industry
put them through the most comprehensive training program
and send them out there to serve customers
We're living our best business right now
in terms of the talent we've brought in the organization
in terms of how that talent works together
in terms of how we're aligned to achieve sustainability goals that we've never achieved before
That's what our culture feels like today
It's my job and our job as leaders to develop this team and keep them growing so Trane is around for the next 112 years
a son and a daughter started a heating business
We're poised to make sure it's here for the next century
Sustainability is our strategy—in La Crosse and all across Trane Technologies. Our growth is directly linked to our bold 2030 Sustainability Commitments to significantly reduce carbon emissions for our customers
to reduce our own environmental impact and to uplift people and communities by creating opportunities for all
facility—where Trane was founded more than 100 years ago—is helping lead our business into the future with investments and innovation across our broad-based approach to sustainability
We are showing that you can be a growth company
meet your big sustainability commitments and add value to your customers by helping them meet theirs
“We have to continue focusing on our roots and providing reliability to our customers,” said Tom Gallant
Vice President of Engineering & Technology
we’re trying to find ways to push ourselves and take more risks
I see the team’s mindset shifting every day
We really are a technology company that heats and cools buildings.”
The La Crosse team is reducing the environmental impact of our operations through multiple strategies
zero waste to landfill and decreasing water use and emissions
One hundred percent of the electricity used at our La Crosse facility is generated from renewable sources, making it an official RE100 operation
the global renewable energy initiative bringing together businesses committed to using 100% renewable electricity
The La Crosse team achieved this milestone in October 2024 through a five-year power purchase agreement with Xcel Energy
the site has achieved zero waste to landfill
The team is diverting industrial waste and scrap material—without disrupting production—to partners who fully recycle the materials or convert combustible items to energy
The La Crosse facility is Trane Technologies’ largest single user of water for our global operations
a cross-functional team began a multi-year effort to streamline our operations to reclaim and reduce water usage
resulting in a 20 percent reduction in the company’s overall water use in 2023
In the research and development (R&D) laboratory
reducing the downtime of the chiller system and reducing water usage by 37 million gallons in 2023 compared to the prior year
Global Environmental & Sustainability Program Manager Adam Jacobson and VP of Engineering & Technology Tom Gallant talking in front of thermal battery storage source heat pump system
In the training center, we are using our own technology to reduce water use and emissions. There, water is recycled through a thermal battery storage source heat pump system
a first-of-its-kind solution to advance electrified
including in climates below zero degrees Fahrenheit
the system converges four proven technologies to accelerate building decarbonization: thermal energy storage ice tanks
all-electric chiller-heaters and intelligent controls
The new system saved 15 million gallons of water in 2023—a reduction of 85% from the prior year
The system is estimated to reduce the overall energy intensity of the building by 28%
we expect to save 30-40 million gallons of water annually and cut carbon emissions by approximately 21 mtCO2e every year
La Crosse’s projects to reduce water use decreased our company’s total water consumption by nearly half
The La Crosse team continues to find ways to contribute to our Leading by Example commitment
most recently introducing a plan to install geothermal bore field technology to fully electrify heating and cooling of an engineering building on the campus
One way we’re innovating for impact in La Crosse is through our developments for high-growth sectors, such as the semiconductor and global data center market, where capacity is projected to nearly double by 2027
Data centers and semiconductor manufacturing require precise cooling and humidity control
To keep up with this demand, the team in La Crosse built a new manufacturing line for CDHH CenTraVac® water-cooled chillers
This highly automated production line can handle many types of chillers
including our CDHH CenTraVac duplex with heat recovery
which is perfect for buildings with simultaneous heating and cooling load
The heat recovery option captures heat from the condenser
allowing the customer to employ an electrification solution for decarbonization
Trane CenTraVac chillers offer additional energy-saving options like non-reversible heat pump chiller capabilities
These features benefit the environment and can often pay for themselves through reduced water consumption
lower heating and ancillary power consumption
Product Manager Esti Tierney and Plant Manager Shari Werwinski walk the production floor
“We have been serving the high-tech market for a long time
and because of technologies like artificial intelligence
“What sets us apart is that we make the largest capacity units at the highest efficiency level with a low global warming potential refrigerant.”
uplifting culture where people feel they can belong and can boldly share their ideas
We invest in the well-being and career development of our team members so they can thrive
La Crosse is home to our Graduate Training Program (GTP)
a six-month intensive program that develops deep HVAC expertise
With a legacy dating back nearly 100 years
GTP is the foundation of our technical leadership
producing industry-leading account managers and sustainability champions
Graduate Training Program students in the classroom
We also provide advanced training in welding and other essential skills to support manufacturing excellence
and advance their careers within Trane Technologies
we are expanding a dedicated space for operational and technician training to further develop talent and modernize skills to match the latest technology
La Crosse employees are deeply engaged in the community
especially around sharing our expertise in STEM and environmental stewardship
The La Crosse Inclusion Community Network (LINC) leads volunteer initiatives
including STEM education programs at the Boys & Girls Club and the Great River Community Clean-Up
which mobilizes over 120 employees annually
The facility also supports local STEM education
and sponsoring the Seven Rivers Robotics Regional Competition
Trane Technologies employee volunteering to help middle schoolers learn about STEM as a part of Engineers Week
Trane Technologies contributes to the Trane All Abilities Park
the community’s first inclusive playground
coming soon to the La Crosse Children’s Museum
designed to educate children about HVAC technology and innovation
sustainability is not an offshoot of our strategy
It is our strategy and what is driving our growth
The team in La Crosse is continuing to deliver innovative technologies for our customers while reducing the environmental impact of our operations—both by orders of magnitude
“What makes La Crosse special is that we have multiple generations of families who have worked here,” said Tom Gallant
“There is a legacy of innovation we have to live up to every day
it’s exciting to work on solving problems that have an impact not only on this community
Water is essential to life—and business—and an important element in sustainability strategy

Buildings represent more than 30%1 of all emissions
with transport responsible for another 20%2
That’s more than half of the world's emissions that Trane Technologies can help address
To reduce emissions and decarbonize our cities
we must revolutionize energy used in buildings and transport
Any heat released into the environment can be considered wasted
industry and transport systems – transforming them from energy sinks into energy sources
By focusing on the generated power that’s being wasted
we can have a significant impact on addressing energy waste and reducing energy demand
buildings have relied on fossil fuels and natural gas for their heating and cooling needs
Most buildings have also typically used separate heating and cooling systems that operate independently
causing higher emissions – especially during cooling processes that generate heat
which is typically wasted and released into the atmosphere
But our vision for the buildings of tomorrow is clear: a future in which renewable energy production
the heating and cooling of buildings and energy storage operate in unison to create highly energy-efficient buildings
Such buildings generate enough energy to run their own facilities without drawing from the grid
re-purposing what would otherwise be wasted while driving significant energy efficiencies
we could breathe cleaner air and live in smarter
healthier and more resilient cities that are less reliant on fossil fuels
The concept of thermal management for temperature control is central to this vision
Energy recovery technology like heat pumps can capture naturally-generated heat as a byproduct
instead of rejecting it into the atmosphere
such as comfort heating and hot sanitary water
This "free heating" approach translates into substantial cost savings compared to conventional boiler systems
building owners and city planners can also integrate heating and cooling systems and draw from another untapped free source of energy: waste heat
In fact, heat pumps can re-purpose wasted heat to address other heating demands at a building or city level. A prime example of an innovative thermal management system is Trane Technologies’ project in the Dutch city of Aalsmeer. Excess heat from a data center is repurposed to provide hot water to a local school and gymnasium
This project saved Aalsmeer 400 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually – equivalent to the emissions generated from 48 homes
Adopting a simultaneous heating and cooling thermal management system
New industry standards for emissions reduction and efficiency are being set for commercial transportation. Trane Technologies specializes in transport refrigeration, to ensure the safety of foods and medicines – in a sustainable way. The Thermo King AxlePower energy recovery system
harvests energy when a trailer rolls or brakes
capturing and storing the power in a high-voltage battery that powers the refrigeration unit
hybrid or fully electric systems can make significant CO2 savings
During a trial on Woolworths' long-haul N1 route in South Africa, the vehicle’s battery operated for a distance of 15,000 kilometers to cool the load and only engaged the diesel engine 3% of the time
On the route between Johannesburg and Cape Town
it should be clear that obstacles to creating decarbonized cities are not technological
One common misconception is that sustainable solutions are prohibitively expensive
the energy efficiency and CO2 reductions achieved through these technologies often result in short payback periods
less reliant on recharging stations and fossil fuels
The path to decarbonizing our cities lies in these sustainable
thermal management and energy recovery solutions
and communities must work together to embrace this vision
and the benefits for our planet and future generations are immeasurable

Installation of new electrified Thermal Management System provides all-electric heating to the facility and is expected to reduce 1,800 metric tons of carbon emissions
We’re leading by example by putting sustainability into action to achieve carbon neutrality across our global footprint
The opportunity: Our manufacturing facility in Charmes
The incumbent heating system at the facility was based on two natural gas-fired boilers and needed an upgrade
The solution: Leveraging innovative heat pump technology
all-electric heating is now being provided to the entire site and can deliver simultaneous heating and cooling when required
Reduce 1,800 metric tons of carbon annually
the equivalent of the emissions generated from powering nearly 230 homes for one year
to attend a celebratory ribbon cutting event
and the official installation of the new Thermal Management System at our manufacturing facility
The plant is the first Trane manufacturing site in Europe to install this technology
and one of several Trane Technologies office locations
eliminating the need for fossil fuel use to heat the site’s manufacturing facility and offices
The Charmes plant employs 450 people who innovate
commercial buildings and factories achieve higher efficiency in heating and cooling
The facility sits on more than 100,000 square meters
which were previously heated by two natural gas-fired boilers with total heating capacity of 2.4MW
Most buildings in Europe use two separate systems: a chiller for cooling
and a fossil-fuel powered boiler for heating
with chimneys that release exhaust and other harmful emissions into the atmosphere
The new electrified Thermal Management System provides all-electric heating to the entire site
eliminating the need for fossil fuels and delivering simultaneous heating and cooling when required
The new system leveraging high-efficiency heat pump technology is based on three Trane Sintesis™ Advantage CXAF air-to-water reversible heat pumps and two Trane CITY RTSF water-to-water heat pumps
With the new Thermal Management System, the Charmes site is expected to reduce 1,800 metric tons of carbon annually, helping advance our company’s 2030 Sustainability Commitments
including achieving carbon neutral operations across our global footprint
This installation is an example of the real-world
sustainability-in-action needed to bend the curve on climate change
When it comes to sustainability and decarbonization of our cities
there is a lot of focus on electrifying cars
Many people don’t know the huge impact we can have by bringing that same electrification focus to buildings
The technologies needed to decarbonize commercial buildings already exist today
in applications like the one right here in Charmes
we can eliminate the need for fossil fuel boilers
through closed loop heat recovery processes
we can recover heat that would otherwise be wasted - simultaneously heating and cooling a space
the site achieved zero waste to landfill in 2012
and has reduced its water consumption by 63% since 2019
that kind of improved efficiency is more important than ever
But we cannot do it alone – and we must do it together
We need fellow leaders from around the world
who share our vision for a more sustainable world
I’m proud of the hard work of our dedicated employees who are boldly challenging what’s possible for a sustainable world
Their tireless efforts and bold thinking are inspiring the change needed to transform our industry now and into the future
The manufacturing team for Thermo King in Galway
Ireland is leading the way toward Trane Technologies’ carbon neutral operations
reducing environmental impact and contributing to a net-zero future
We’re leading by example through responsible operations
The opportunity: Accelerate the path toward operational sustainability at Thermo King Galway through a multi-faceted carbon reduction strategy across the manufacturing plant
significantly reducing Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions and moving Trane Technologies closer to its 2030 Sustainability Commitment of carbon neutral operations
The solutions: Replacing diesel fuel with HVO biodiesel; adopting reusable dollies and crates to further enhance zero waste to landfill commitment; innovating a state-of-the-art carbon-neutral Advancer production line; enhancing roof insulation; and installing 2,000 photovoltaic panels for renewable energy
Sustainability outcomes: All metrics are based on prior year (2022) comparisons unless otherwise stated
VINCENT: We're close to the coast of Ireland
you see it going to and from work and we'd like to keep it that way
MICHAEL: I think about sustainability in its broadest sense
We have to look at the three legs of it: environmental
And socially in terms of looking after our people - what we’re doing for the community in which we operate
DAVID: We're very proud of the fact that from 2015
we pride ourselves in the segregation of waste on site and we send it to our suppliers and they recycle
One of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions is refrigerants
We use about 10,000 tons of refrigerant each month
We've successfully reduced our refrigerant losses by 60%
by our corporate leaders to be one of the pilot sites for the Future Factory initiative
We picked the advancer line as the pilot line
So that’s the next step in the electrification of our product range
DAVID: The Advancer line is ISO 14064 certified
We've successfully attained that standard for the rest of the Galway plant in June this year
VINCENT: We have an old building here in Galway
We decided to replace that skin with an insulated panel
and less energy required to heat the plant
Across the entire factory roof and other buildings on site
We estimate that we can generate about 1 million watts of energy every year
we expect to generate about 40% of our needs
which is just 300 yards from the back gate of Thermal King
We got a letter from the school asking us if we would support in a small way
VINCENT: Thermo King Galway has been here a long time
There's generations of family gone through this plant behind me and we're all proud to work here
MIKE: We're on a good flight path in terms of sustainability
our Thermo King manufacturing facility in Galway
Ireland became the first Trane Technologies site to achieve zero waste-to-landfill status
the team has continued to innovate how we manufacture solutions for the cold chain while leading the way in sustainable operations
In 2020, motivated by Trane Technologies’ 2030 Gigaton Challenge to reduce customers’ carbon emissions from use of products, Thermo King unveiled a new state-of-the-art Advancer A-series
a revolutionary approach to refrigerated transport that helps reduce the impact of the cold chain
“The Advancer line is the future of the factory,” says Michael Stratford
“It’s also the start of our electrical architecture and electrical journey in our operations.”
Prioritizing sustainability in operations means Galway’s cross-functional teams are constantly monitoring and assessing energy efficiency
as well as looking for new reduction strategies
Previous measures have included LED lighting
rainwater harvesting and adding greenfield areas and EV charging
the company has accelerated its path to further reduce carbon emissions associated with operations
“We're on a good flight path in terms of sustainability
And one of the most impactful projects to date has been the installation of a 50,000-liter tank storing Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)
By replacing the diesel used on production lines with HVO
the site has successfully reduced Scope 1 fossil fuel carbon emissions across three manufacturing lines by 99%
HVO carbon is categorized as biogenic and identified as a renewable fuel with a carbon neutral designation
“Opportunities to improve are still out there,” says David Honan
Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Leader EMEA and Galway EHS Site Leader
The Galway facility uses approximately 10,000 kilograms of refrigerant each month to charge into finished goods manufactured for customers
To significantly reduce Scope 1 emissions associated with refrigerant leaks
the site installed world class refrigerant storage
charging and monitoring equipment and shifted to a new refrigerant with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP)
The Galway team also recognizes that sustainability means looking after the long-term well-being of people
both internally and in the surrounding community
When a local school was looking for help to create a dedicated space for Autistic Spectrum Disorder students, the team invested in the building of a sensory room. And volunteers that make up the local Purple Team for the site
and partnerships that encourage young kids to pursue STEM careers
There is not much in common between the worlds of Wall Street and of horse racing and a 1981 horror film about a high school student being the living incarnation of Satan
The Irondequoit native and longtime Rochester resident was a longtime fixture in the investment world
for decades running his own investment newsletter and co-authoring a book on stock market investing
chalking up some noteworthy victories on occasion
And he helped make three motion pictures that were largely shot in the Finger Lakes and central New York region
"It was a pretty interesting life," said brother Frank LaLoggia of Penfield
Charles LaLoggia died unexpectedly last week at his Rochester home
LaLoggia was something of an investment world wunderkind
"Charlie always had an interest in the stock market since junior high school," Frank LaLoggia said
"By the time he was probably in eighth grade
my father purchased a couple little stocks for him and he was charting the prices of them."
He earned a bachelor's degree in management from Syracuse University and spent about a year on Wall Street with Merrill Lynch
working his way up to lead writer for its investment newsletter
LaLoggia moved back to Rochester and started his own investment advisory firm and newsletter of stock picks and analysis
"He had a lot of major people on Wall Street subscribing to those reports," said Patrick White
LaLoggia about 20 years ago when his business started printing those newsletters
Mr. LaLoggia wrote a regular investment column through the 1980s and early 1990s for the Democrat and Chronicle. In 2001, he co-authored the book The Superstock Investor: Profiting from Wall Street's Best Undervalued Companies
He earned executive producer credits on three movies. Fear No Evil
who had previously moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the movies
Much of Fear No Evil was filmed in the Rochester area
including at the beach in Charlotte and at several private residences on Lake Ontario
While Mr. LaLoggia was president of Thoroughbreds US Inc., a Rochester-based horse racing and entertainment firm, it issued stock to help finance production of another film, Lady in White, which was filmed in part in Lyons, Wayne County. Thoroughbreds changed its name to New Sky Communications Inc. as it was producing the 1988 thriller. It also financed the 1999 comedy Freak Talks About Sex
which starred actor Steve Zahn and was shot largely around the Syracuse area
Freak was released on video a year later as Blowin' Smoke
New Sky Communications eventually moved into anti-counterfeiting technology when White pitched using it as the company home for such authentication technology being developed at his printing company. Today it operates as Rochester-based Document Security Systems Inc.
LaLoggia got interested in horses and horse racing a few years out of college
and Thoroughbreds US bought a number of horses
"I have three passions in life," LaLoggia told a Democrat and Chronicle reporter in 1986 with the formation of New Sky
Now I have a company that combines all three."
LaLoggia's private stable of horses included a couple that ran the Breeder's Cup and one that won Canada's prestigious Grey Stakes in 2006
Frank LaLoggia said his brother sold his stock market newsletter about 10 years ago
soft-spoken gentlemen you'd ever want to meet," brother Frank LaLoggia said
I can't tell you how many lives he touched throughout his life
I can't believe how many people came up to me (at the funeral service on Friday) and said 'Charlie helped me to do this,' 'Charlie helped me do that.' "

As the world copes with the urgent need to address climate change
one critical area demands our attention: the use of energy recovery technology in our cities to decarbonise buildings and transport
renewable energy and improving efficiency -we must revolutionise energy used in buildings and transport - transforming them from energy sinks into energy sources
buildings have relied on fossil fuels such as coal
Most buildings now have separate heating and cooling systems that operate independently
The vision for our cities is clear: a future in which renewable energy production
and energy storage operate in unison to create highly energy-efficient buildings
Technologies such as heat pumps enable the capture and movement of available “free” energy from the air or ground into buildings
Excess heat from a data centre is repurposed to provide hot water to a local school and gymnasium
This project saved Aalsmeer 400 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually—the equivalent of emissions from 48 homes
the vehicle’s battery operated for a distance of 15,000 kilometres to cool the load and only engaged the diesel engine three per cent of the time
it should be clear that obstacles to creating decarbonised cities are not technological
Another myth is that these systems are complex and only applicable to new building construction
Almost 75 per cent of existing building stock in the European Union has a poor energy performance that can be considerably improved with smart heating and cooling solutions.3 When we replace cooling-only machines with those capable of simultaneous heating and cooling
And for fleet owners looking to switch to electric solutions
next-generation energy recovery systems (e.g
Thermo King AxlePower) are also more efficient
The path to decarbonising our cities lies in these sustainable

Print The frescoes were too loud in color
were “out of harmony” and ruining their enjoyment of their garden — and so
a prominent women’s club founded in 1894 that had for six years occupied a majestic new building off Wilshire Boulevard
built in the Italian Renaissance style by famed architect Sumner P
commissioned muralist and painter Maxine Albro to create frescoes for the north loggia of the Ebell’s garden — for which Albro toiled away during the heat of July and August that year
Called “The Four Sibyls,” the frescoes depict the female seers of ancient Greek and Roman mythology
Albro had studied under a student of Diego Rivera’s and would go on to become one of the country’s foremost female muralists
working with the Works Progress Administration on projects including murals at San Francisco’s Coit Tower
Albro’s Ebell frescoes were indeed bright and modern — having been created in the style recently popularized by Rivera — and
like many great works of art throughout the ages
Conservator Kiernan Graves
Scholar-in-Residence Meredith Drake Reitan and Ebell Executive Director Stacy Brightman at the L.A
(Carlin Stiehl / For The Times) In what would go down in history as the “Sibyl War,” Ebell members argued for two years about the appropriateness of the frescoes
touching on still-universal themes including who art is for
and how progress can be made if risks are never taken
“It is an amazing thing that we can become so interested in art discussion that our ‘sibyl war’ has widened art appreciation,” Dunlap wrote in 1934 before stepping down as president because of the controversy
children and church,’ and we must see to it that these avenues are kept forever open for American women.”

including a particularly poignant plea for them to be spared a week before they were slated for destruction
a work of art which gives to a vast gray wall a freshness like the breath of spring
a lightsome beauty like the dawn of the Renaissance in Tuscany,” Millier wrote
is one of the signs of our own California Renaissance — a thing of sure-footed youthfulness
“Every great work of art was once new and strange,” Millier noted
“Time alone — plenty of time — can make its message clear to all.”

(Carlin Stiehl / For The Times) What happened to the frescoes remained a mystery for 90 years
who came across the history of the lost murals after gaining access to the Ebell’s vast archives
No record could be found documenting the method used to remove them
but historical letters and news clippings referred to techniques that would have resulted in destruction

a wall-painting conservator who specializes in murals and frescoes
to see what she could find beneath what turned out to be more than nine layers of paint
Graves began the work of revealing a 6-inch window of wall into art history
just a few days after fires devastated large swaths of Pacific Palisades and Altadena
Graves remembered driving through the smoky haze to the beautiful Ebell garden
it was just such a bright light in that moment — to feel like something is surviving rather than destroyed.”

The newly discovered “lost” Albros are cause for great celebration at the center
not only had photographed the frescoes for posterity before they were covered but also had managed to ensure they were simply painted over
knowing full well that their time would come around to be revealed again
Reitan found evidence of the women’s resolve
‘We may not understand what we’re doing now
but women in the future will understand.’ They’re absolutely confident of that,” she says
“And so the idea that they actually are here
and that we now have the capacity to really uncover them in the appropriate way
Frescos by Maxine Albro
painted in 1933 in the north loggia of the Ebell of Los Angeles
(The Ebell of Los Angeles) Because the frescoes were covered up so quickly
they never got the chance to cure as frescoes normally do
This rendered them in pristine condition but also made them quite fragile
which is why after uncovering several 6-inch spots and confirming that the frescoes were intact
Graves immediately covered up the art again
it is unclear when they can — and if they should — be fully uncovered and restored
which is on the National Register of Historic Places
must undergo a city-mandated seismic retrofit
The incredibly costly process will likely last many years and involve far too much dust and construction chaos for the frescoes’ safety
We have to save it and make it sing for the next century,” Brightman says
“Ninety years of a mystery has been solved
and we can have a really thoughtful conversation about what that means
The discovery of the murals will be discussed at the Ebell Institute’s annual women’s history in L.A. symposium, Thursday, March 27 at 9 a.m. The event is free and an RSVP is encouraged.

Many artists will be on show until July 25 at La Loggia by Garbarino
elegance… La Loggia by Garbarino has decided to go for eroticism
The concept store at the Boulevard des Moulins is exhibiting a range of artists
all of whom have their own personal approach to eroticism
Olivia Steele intrigues with her suggestive neon messages
Japanese photographer and filmmaker Mitsuaki Koshizuka surprises with his photographs where nude models seem to be covered in tattoos…
And what can we say about the “La LanguOchat” duo
who have designed lights with silver and copper wire
designed for the bedroom by Jacqueline Morabito
provide a gentle and romantic take on eroticism
You can see the exhibition at 40 Boulevard des Moulins until July 25. David Garbarino has chosen to support the Fight Aids charity through this exhibition
The painting will make a guest appearance at two important exhibitionsMadonna with Child also called Madonna della loggia
who is reaching his little hand out to caress her cheek The artist uses an ancient Byzantine iconography known as Glikophilousa (in Greek Glikophilousa means “sweet lover” or “sweet kiss”; in Russian tradition is referred to more often as Eleousa or of Tenderness)
And this is no coincidence: in fact the painting is considered the most intensely emotional and intimate representation of the Mother of God
the iconic Theotokos by Vladimir (Virgin of Vladimir) is the most powerful example
Botticelli expresses the natural sentiment of a mother for her child in a composition radiating a sense of tender intimacy: Mary appears thoughtful
anticipating the painful destiny awaiting her child
The two figures are placed within a Renaissance architecture that opens up on the background
This work can be dated to Botticelli’s very early years
as suggested by the references to Filippo Lippi’s style
Having attended the workshop of a goldsmith at a very young age
Botticelli completed his painting apprenticeship in Lippi’s studio
Botticelli left Lippi’s studio around 1467
at the same time as when Filippo moved to Spoleto and he probably grew close to Andrea Verrocchio
the other great master who had a strong influence on his training; the Madonna della Loggia was painted in this moment of his life
which is likely to have originally been set in a tabernacle frame
could be one of the so-called “colmi da camera”
an object destined for private religious devotion
This was generally the kind of work the artists focused on before receiving more challenging commissions
The painting only came to the Uffizi Gallery in 1784
Botticelli’s early works coincide chronologically with the reinforcement of the powerful Medici family in Florence
The definitive settlement of the Medicean dominion and both Cosimo and Lorenzo de’ Medici’s patronage are historical landmarks that represent the period of maximum splendor of Florentine art
One of the main characters of that splendid season of patronage was Botticelli himself; perceived from the 19th Century until the present time as one of the most emblematic and iconic painters of the Renaissance
he perfectly represents the parable of Florentine culture and society between the climax of the Medicean rule and the Republic of Savonarola
La Loggia by Garbarino opened its doors on the 15 April
set up by the interior architect Adriano Garbarino and his son David
is a space dedicated to design lovers and internationally renowned artists
Contemporary artists and designers from all walks of life are encouraged to use this space as a place to seek inspiration
designers and photographers from all over the world are coming to La Loggia by Garbarino to showcase their work
decorating their interior with a series of objects crafted locally in Monaco
For the inauguration of this cultural space
clothing and decorative objects on display have all been inspired by the ocean
Visitors will have the chance to be transported to the deep blue until September

Oscar-nominated actor Robert Loggia
who was known for gravelly voiced gangsters from "Scarface" to "The Sopranos" but who was most endearing as Tom Hanks' kid-at-heart toy-company boss in "Big," has died
He was 85.Loggia's wife Aubrey Loggia said he died Friday at his home in Los Angeles after a five year battle with Alzheimer's
"His poor body gave up," she said
"He loved being an actor and he loved his life."A solidly built man with a rugged face and gravelly voice

He played wise guys in David Lynch's "Lost Highway," the spoofs "Innocent Blood" and "Armed and Dangerous," and again on David Chase's "The Sopranos," as the previously jailed veteran mobster Michele "Feech" La Manna.It was not as a gangster but as a seedy detective that Loggia received his only Academy Award nomination
as supporting actor in 1985's "Jagged Edge." He played gumshoe Sam Ransom
who investigated a murder involving Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges.Loggia gave an endearing comic performance in Penny Marshall's 1988 "Big," when he danced with Tom Hanks on a giant piano keyboard.Hanks played an adolescent granted a wish to be big

Here is a clip of the piano scene from the movie "Big":
Loggia also appeared in five films for comedy director Blake Edwards
including three "Pink Panther" films and the dark comedy "S.O.B." He also portrayed Joseph
in George Stevens' biblical epic "The Greatest Story Ever Told."
Asked in 1990 how he maintained such a varied career
he responded: "I'm a character actor in that I play many different roles
and I'm virtually unrecognizable from one role to another
In 1966 Loggia had the rare opportunity for stardom
taking the lead role in the NBC television drama "T.H.E
He played a former circus aerialist and cat burglar who guarded clients in danger of being murdered
When the series was canceled after one season
the distraught Loggia largely dropped out of the business for a time
"It was a Dante's 'Inferno' period for me that most men and women go through if they've taken paths they wished they hadn't," he recalled in a 1986 interview
I was played out and I had to re-spark myself."
and he devoted himself mostly to travel and skiing
He credited his re-emergence to a couple of plays for Joseph Papp
"Wedding Band" with Ruby Dee and "In the Boom-Boom Room" with Madeleine Kahn
He returned to TV with a role in a two-part episode of the TV show "Mannix," and he was soon working regularly again

A veteran restaurateur and sushi chef bring recognition to a Studio City space
If you buy something from an Eater link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics policy
Leon immediately called his chef Shigenori “Shige” Fujimoto
“Shige is used to that attention since he was with the [Michelin-recognized] Asanebo,” says Leon
He was excited because it was his own menu
and partner Evan Ross opened this unusual space into what feels like three restaurants in one
Diners can choose between the charming ’80s-esque sushi bar
high-ceiling dining room with big windows facing Ventura Boulevard
There are dishes that lean Japanese Peruvian; sushi and sashimi from a sushi bar; ceviches; and innovations like udon carbonara with egg
Each dining area is guarded by towering samurai statues
with the following credits: La Loggia Ristorante
Eater spoke with Leon and Fujimoto to hear how the restaurant is faring so far in Studio City, a neighborhood that’s typically buzzing with film and TV industry diners, many of whom are currently on strike.
We received a lot of press, and when the Michelin Guide came out, we saw a lot of new faces and younger customers, more than we expected. We needed to focus and attract a younger crowd. That’s what we were looking for, to introduce a younger generation to our food.
Frank: To do sushi at this level is very expensive, especially to retain good talent like Shige, Yuki Horiba, and Kenji Nakamura [of Encino’s shuttered Sushi Nakamura] to bring stability and credibility. After 10 years, they bring so much experience and craft their own style.
Frank: In every project and concept, people have ideas. We’ve been friends for 25 years. We didn’t work together before, but we clashed at the beginning because we were new at this thing. We had differences in direction.
Shige: Our system is getting better. Working with Frankie is not too difficult. Fighting is good for things and good for growth. It’s necessary for the project. For some, they disagree and it’s finished and no more. But not here.
Frank: After the pandemic, I wanted to rent out the restaurant and take it easy. I’ve got two new kids in my life [Leon and his wife recently adopted two children]. We planned on moving to Europe. But my kids are so happy here. So then, I opened up a restaurant and work 12 hours a day. [He laughs.] But, I love it.

Print Robert Loggia
an Academy Award-nominated actor who embodied both swagger and mischievous charm
notably as a too-trusting Miami crime boss in “Scarface,” died Friday at his home in Los Angeles from Alzheimer’s disease
carried an everyman’s understanding and a con-man’s cleverness to roles ranging from the owner of a toy company opposite Tom Hanks in “Big” to his Oscar-nominated turn as sordid private detective Sam Ransom in “Jagged Edge,” written by Joe Eszterhas and starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges
played in memorable dramas and comedies during the 1980s and ‘90s
His resume included “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Prizzi’s Honor” and “The Ninth Configuration.”
Though he was nominated for a lead actor in a drama Emmy for his portrayal of a nonconformist investigator in “Mancuso
F.B.I.,” Loggia was less than pleased with the experience
“I really believed in that character,” he told The Times in 1991
and Brandon Tartikoff [then NBC president] promised me that if I agreed to do it he would make it right
But it didn’t happen with NBC Productions (the company that produced the series)
which is a separate entity from Brandon and NBC
They didn’t make the show that was promised me and that I promised affiliates and sponsors.”
Loggia said the show was supposed to tell “bonafide” FBI stories
“They started to go into demographics and whom my secretary was sleeping with and Frick and Frack with a lady partner,” he said
“FBI people don’t have partners to begin with
so it was like the sexual escapade of the week.”

while the feta and ham helped salt the mixed greens
One suggestion though: an element of crunch would've helped break up the soft textures

Add to it a bit of garlic slices and voila
We’re coming back for this dish alone

The four-bite hunk of white fish did nothing wrong: it was firm
we had high hopes for the warm apple tart with caramel ice cream ($85) and the raspberry millefeuille ($78)
the millefeuille looked overly loaded with cream
and naturally sweetened by the raspberry sauce
a pin wheel of Fuji and Golden Delicious apples dusted with cinnamon and other spices sat on a very thin crust – so thin it was disguised beneath the pommes
most dishes here could use a heavier hand in the salt pot

Ginger Tapas Bar has closed in Walker's Point
A Caribbean restaurant and bar called Likkle Jamayka is proposed for Ginger's address at 235 S
according to a liquor license application filed with the city
owned by Julia LaLoggia and Rose Billingsley
LaLoggia said the restaurant is closed while they wait for the sale of the business to go through
If the deal should fall through for any reason
it's possible Ginger could reopen before the holidays
who in 2014 sold Stonefly Brewing in Riverwest (now Company Brewing)
said she and Billingsley have wanted to leave the restaurant business to start a small-scale farm that possibly would hold chef dinners and serve as a farm-stay destination for vacationers
and we're ready for the next phase," LaLoggia said
Ginger was named one of Milwaukee's best new restaurants in 2009
LaLoggia operated the restaurant Barossa and the nightclub Dish
Adriel McFarlane declined to discuss his proposed restaurant and bar in detail but said it would serve Caribbean food

There is a definite satisfaction that comes from meeting someone and being able to connect on a level of understanding that results in serious changes in their lives from just doing my job
and I truly enjoy being able to improve my customers’ lives by providing a new quality of life experience for them
I have this idea that I can see the project before we build it; at least that is what I believe
Up next: We’re finishing a number of storm-related and conventional remodels and are working with potential customers on plans for home improvements
This is the time to plan for interior projects like kitchen
bath or basement remodels or attic conversion
I’m an avid boater and have enjoyed the benefit of the Rock River for more than 30 years
It’s one of the best things about living in Rockford and the reason I bought my house where I did; it has convenient access to my boat slip at the Lombardi Club

Favorite place in the Rock River Valley: Downtown Rockford
I’ve been a fan of our city’s downtown since riding the bus as a high school student and changing buses in the 100 block of West State Street in front of Weise’s store going and Camera Craft coming back
Life motto: Treat others as you would have them treat you
Best and hardest parts of your job: I love seeing happy customers who feel they got what they were looking for
The office work and unknown part of running a business before starting it are the most difficult aspects
Best advice: My father said to tell the truth and be honest
With two weeks off from all your responsibilities
I have three first cousins with the same first and last name
We have all been mistaken for each other more than once
That has led to some interesting conversations
Biggest challenge: Getting divorced and having my children move to Florida when they were very young
First job: Sweeping the parking lot at the Wright-Way hamburger joint on 11th Street when I was 7
