The winning bidder Jubilee Housing put together a fund to partner with the tenants. WASHINGTON, DC–1460 Euclid Street NW, a 26,640 square foot multifamily building sold as an affordable housing redevelopment opportunity. Jubilee Housing, a local affordable housing provider, acquired the community which is located just steps from Meridian Hill Park and the 14th Street Corridor for $6 million through the TOPA process. Grant Fitzgerald and Marty Zupancic of Marcus & Millichap represented the local seller in the transaction, securing yielded 14 written offers and 49 property tours during the marketing. The property was built in 1926 and sits on a 7,182 square foot lot which is zoned RA-2. The property was approximately 31.25% occupied at the time of contract and closing. Jubilee Housing put together a fund to partner with the tenants, allowing them to match the top contract via the TOPA process, Fitzgerald says. The building sits on the hard corner of Euclid Street NW and University Place NW just East of Meridian Hill Park and West of 14th Street NW.

He died at 53 in a private plane crash that killed three other city leaders in 1992 pushing leaders to bring life to a city once known as Naptown "He led the way in the revitalization of the city's downtown," William K president of the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association But before McKinney was a banking executive he swam for legendary coach James "Doc" Counsilman "Frank knew very clearly that he wanted to be a world-class swimmer," Rev "He (also) wanted to be a giant in the business world." McKinney climbed the ranks of the banking industry and was chairman and CEO of Fidelity Bank & Trust Co. which had merged with American Fletcher National and was one of the state's largest banks McKinney made a bold move in Indiana banking circles selling his bank to an out-of-state corporation He also made a bold move as he advocated for the construction of the tallest building in the state the Bank One Tower in downtown Indianapolis Evan Bayh's senior advisor on international trade He was behind many downtown renewal projects including the restoration of bricks in and around Monument Circle He was on the board of OneAmerica and chairman of the effort to build a tennis stadium downtown remembered his father's drive and what he told him time and time again: "You can do anything you put your mind to."

Visit the Royal Observatory and discover the history of time and space the Prime Meridian at Greenwich has divided the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth - just as the equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres you have one foot in the east and one in the west The Greenwich Meridian also helped to establish the world time zone system we still use today countries used their own meridian lines for mapmaking and navigation This meant there was no globally agreed way of measuring distances and plotting locations east and west In 1884, different nations gathered in Washington D.C. to choose one single meridian as a common reference. After weeks of discussion, delegates voted to make the Greenwich Meridian the world's Prime Meridian. Greenwich was chosen because its measurements were already used by most of the world's seafarers and mapmakers Thanks to the work of generations of astronomers the Royal Observatory became the home for global time and navigation the Prime Meridian covers a distance of 20,000 km. Togo and Ghana in Africa. The only land crossed by the Meridian in the southern hemisphere is Antarctica In Greenwich the Prime Meridian is marked by a metal line fixed into the Royal Observatory courtyard the beam can be seen from more than 20 km away The Meridian Courtyard also offers some of the best views in London, high above the trees of Greenwich Park Finally, did you know that astronomers still work at the Royal Observatory today?

Seager says year-to-year weather variations may blur the data and so far the changes are still too small and gradual to yet affect land use over wide areas But he is confident that aridity will perceptibly move eastward during the 21st century Seager predicts that farms further and further east will have to consolidate and become larger in order to remain viable And unless farmers turn to irrigation or otherwise adapt they will have to switch from corn to wheat or some other more suitable crop Large expanses of cropland may fail altogether and have to be converted to western-style grazing range Water supplies could also become a problem for urban areas The first Earth Day in 1970 ignited a movement to stop polluting our planet.

west There are hundreds of thousands of acres growing corn today which only 30 years ago were wheat and milo country Dryland corn is now successfully grown all the way across Kansas 30 years ago the only corn grown west of the flint hills was irrigated Your claim that ‘nearly all of the prairie’ has been plowed up ignores the vast swath of grassland through the flint hills region Is that how the 100th meridian is located I have driven and witnessed the line in Texas in the I10 it would be nice to see some photos of this and detracts from the studies it references The Great Plains is not defined by climate & the 100th Meridian is not “Where the Great Plains Begin.” That’s cutesy but inaccurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plains the study actually states that the 100th Meridian BISECTS the Great Plains & delineates the arid/humid divide They use it as a reference point to look at climate changes & engineer who grew up in North Dakota & now lives in Texas Many family members are farmers & ranchers throughout the central US My personal experience (altho anecdotal) shows that the line between wet/dry for our weather & climate has indeed shifted farther east and I live in missouri and can attest to the fact we are becoming more arid We have little in the way of regular rain now This summer was one of the driest and its been getting that way for a while The trees starting leaf dropping and browning in late july and august According to the drought monitor we have been under a moderate drought for a year And every year we have some level of drought We are heavy forest lakes and rivers we normally have an abundance of rain but for the last 10 years I have notice a shift in rainfall It started in 2011,it was around that time we had one of the worst droughts People were selling off herds cheap because there was no feed for them The climate in this area is changing to a semi arid one At the same time the mid country corridor is heating up https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Midwest https://firststreet.org/press/press-release-2022-heat-model-launch/ This change in the environment of this area has everything to do with man’s inept and destructive monoculture of the area as can be proved by the dust bowl after farming the area for only 50 years Most people who farmed this area in the late 1800’s failed miserably because the land and climate was not suited for the type of farming employed The government basically opened this area up to people knowing full well that it was an impossible endeavor Since the 1930s we have had various cycles of rain and drought…this has probably gone on since time immemorial We are also very good at crop management now new crops…cotton…even hemp now Millions of acres have also been returned to range land as they should have been all along The dirt here is like talcum powder…I’ve seen it blow through plastic bags Leave it uncovered and it’s a dust storm It hasnt helped that Colorado has dammed the Arkansas rendering the region through KS without some of the water it’s not climate change that is the problem it is the mismanagement of the Earth and the ever-present and 100 + years of monoculture When you keep taking from the land or in this sense there’s no question that adverse change is going to occur We have seen this time and again and because of the greed and stupidity of the powers-that-be it will continue until they’re brought down as part of those ruining the Earth as stated in Revelation Who would have ever thought “Urban Rooftop Garden’s” would ever become so important in feeding mankind Seven plus billion people require a lot of wheat and rice Scary thought no room for garden greens or veggies Since the 100th meridian is a man-invented line it does not move because of climate change The southward expansion of the Sahara is more likely to be due to grazing practices of domesticated animals is due to the rain shadow caused by the recent uplift of the Himalayas between the 4th and 14th centuries the Gobi was a grassland/great plain/veldt but was already drying a negative change in resources leads to empire building It makes sense that warmer temperatures would contribute to more rapid evaporation thus encouraging the aridity moving eastward I suggest that the continuing uplift of the Pacific coastal ranges may also be playing a part I am not sure where new boundary is but the 100th meridian is an absolute based on the angular distance from the prime meridian The science of climate change is under attack by those who have a vested interest in preserving the status quo that got us where we are What is more correct to say is the boundary is is moving east of the historical value which was the 100th meridian I live exactly on top of the 98th meridian I’d have placed the line where the Flint Hills start at the East only the geographical area associated with it appears to be evolving Great article and an astute summary of a changing climate dynamic If only our nation had paid more attention to Powell’s observations and instituted federal programs to conserve water Maybe the tragedy of the dust bowl would have been lessened !!! YES – climate matters tremendously in how and whether life can adapt WE better wise up to the reality of climate changes The dust bowl was allowing open tiled plains ground go be subjected to plains winds If we tilled like that now…itd do it all over again We STILL get dust storms with open soil..especially as late winter rolls around So how does this claim corroborate an earlier document at–https://nca2014.globalchange.gov/report/our-changing-climate/precipitation-change that show precipitation increases likely for the area and recent temperature and rainfall changes for Northwestern corn belt I suspect the argument will be that the evapotranspiration in summer will be much higher but recent weather changes since 1970s in this area have been to the contrary (fewer high summer day temps SW Minnesota would see significant crop reduction due to weather about once every 5 years Many parts of Northwest Iowa haven’t had significant crop yield reduction because of weather since late 70s If anything the corn growing region has significantly moved west in the last 4-decades and chem fallow have greatly expanded corn into traditional wheat and milo areas Outside forces from federal farm policy have also had an effect Is there a map that continues on to Canada Us up here would be very interested to know how we will be drying out into the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Manitoba and other southerly provinces of course have the same Great Plains as the US You guys even have the best song about it: “The 100th Meridian” by the great Ontario band The Tragically Hip I’d think your winter snow cover would help retain moisture That stops in Nebraska for sure…perhaps even S Dakota “no farmer alive today will have to worry about it which is what makes this such a silly story to begin with” heaven forbid a farmer alive today might worry about what their grandchildren will have to deal with I think older generations have given up on the notion that there will be land left for their grandchildren It probably never truly recovered from the Dust Bowl Smaller farms came with the land grants in the 1830’s The land grabs of the westward expansion allowed sections to be held The larger farms came with the government grants originally- not the lack of water To promote future study have you any info as to where Charts need to be drawn up on the speed of progression so a logical causation can be named Also unless it’s an optical oddity it appears the arid line is slightly narrower at the north Can/do we attribute this and possibly the whole theory/compulsion to climate diversion to say a slight axial shift in earth due to a percieved magnetic pole flip that quite possibly is in the early stages of occuring and not to other issues that political forces wish to be the source As far as the aridity appearing narrower in North Dakota I believe that’s due to season weather pattern Artic fronts tend to blast down from Canada toward the SE across Minnesota I’m a KS native…I actually live literally on top of the 98th Merifian Living in Iowa I noticed we had bi-annual shifts in weather direction During the summer our weather would come from a W or SW direction It would shift to the NW during the winter months for it’s part faces a straight westerly impact generally…even though its smack dab in the place for severe sudden weather…theres little rain involved in that I know that we don’t get the snow we did when I was a boy 30-40 years ago….and certainly not that of my parents in the 1950s There was a large snow year in the late 40s We had an extreme two week cold spell in february about 5 years ago I can remember about five times in my lifespan cutting ice for cattle that was over 10″ thick Most years it only has to be cut a couple of weeks and only a couple of inches thick We had rain that exceeded 15″ in a single event in the fall of ’86 and in the spring of ’87 It is fairly normal to have 10″ events more years than not you will see the line has always been there at least as long as the Rocky Mountains have it is simply that Powell was the first white person to write about it The line is narrower at North due to Arctic storms Sooo…an imaginary line invented by Man is moving due to the weather the ‘bad weather is caused by humans’ Global Alarmist crowd doesn’t think much of the intelligence of the rest of us As for the shifting that the plains may be doing The Sahara has been moving throughout its history I doubt the situation will change THAT drastically or rapidly By the time it actually would make any REAL difference to farms the farmers will have had plenty of time to adjust no farmer alive today will have to worry about it which is what makes this such a silly story to begin with Not a lot they could do in the first place We can also be 100% confident that people driving cars & flying planes has nothing whatsoever to do with it I own farmland east of the 100 meridian but west of the 98 meridian so this article has impact on my financial well-being So there is no “so what” for me I am also a scientist who builds and uses models to study potential impacts This study is rigorously and for the most part correctly done The limitation is that they have not considered the role of technology in changing farm sizes throughout the U.S Hello Numeosium! Would you mind shooting me an email at carsonvaughan@gmail.com I’m working on a follow-up story here and would love to chat with some landowners within these boundaries If you are farming between the 98th and 100th you have likely converted from wheat and milo to corn over the last 25 years or so You should come talk to actual farmers in Texas who are being impacted _today_ Most of them will tell you they don’t believe in “global warming” as a thing or is man made but they know damn well the weather is changing year over year because it is affecting their pocket books today When the federal goverment put warning labels on packs of cigarets Ohh and all those smokers who did not heed the warning When the CDC adversied warning to wear a mask and wash hands the men who denied it …are most likely dead Science was the tool to determine the consequence not not changing lifestyle to head the warning that they will die Earth has gone though at least five mass extinctions Several were caused by massive injections of co2 from the burning of Coal Did this FUCKING moron EVER consider whrere did Coal and Oil and Natrual gas come from it came from Plant life that was SUCKING up excess co2 and store it under ground so that life on earth would become habitable The first plant life was Cynobacteria and it helped to flood earth with at least part of the oxygen it needed New plant life flooded earth and sucked up all that excess co2 the earths temperature plummeted from 30-400F to 59F before the start of the industrial revolution Scientist went on top of of the Antarctic Ice sheet and drilled down 2 miles or 10 560 feet to extract that ice and analys its ancient atmphere they recovered 798,000 years of atmpheric air They did samples testing of co2 for every period in that life span and found that co2 levels were stable from 798,000 year up until 1760 or the start of the industrial revolution co2 levels kept climging with the global population Good luck sirving ever increasing fire storms and floods and food scarcity and the future housing crisis Its going to be a real killer for the planet Get the Columbia Climate School Newsletter About Contact Media Ask a Question/Suggest a Story ©2024 Columbia University East Boston’s waterfront location made it a center for shipbuilding and other marine industries—a legacy that continues today East Boston is synonymous with Logan International Airport New England’s largest and one of the nation’s busiest airports with approximately 40.8 million passengers annually this working-class enclave has some of the most breathtaking views of Boston Harbor and the city’s skyline the neighborhood was created using landfill to connect five Boston Harbor islands The waterfront location made it a center for shipbuilding and other marine industries—a legacy that continues today East Boston offers a wide range of restaurants and cuisines as well as recreational activities Russian and Eastern European Jews were the next to arrive and Italian immigrants came at the beginning of the 20th century it’s home to a mix of people of Italian and Irish descent and newly arrived Central and South American and Southeast Asian immigrants The neighborhood’s many stores and restaurants reflect the tastes and traditions of its diverse residents East Boston is also a neighborhood in flux.
