Eyelidiad that was published as a separate book. Then I returned to the original series and finished it in 1997. The five stories combined made a novella.
So now I had two Darktree novellas and I put them together and decided to write a third novella called Ghoulysses. All together, the three novellas would make a fairly substantial novel. But I never finished that third part and still haven't, though I absolutely intend to do so one day (maybe this year). That big novel will be called The Clown of the New Eternities.
Anyway, The Darktree Wheel was published in an anthology called Leviathan 2 in 1998 and there it languished for two decades before it was resurrected to appear in a very prestigious book, the Big Book of Modern Fantasy, published by Vintage.
But in fact only part of the novella appeared in that Vintage anthology and so I have decided to reissue The Darktree Wheel in its entirety. Then it occurred to me that it might sit well with another pair of my favourite novellas, The Impossible Inferno and The Swine Taster, both of which I had considered at stages in my writing career to be my best works. The end result is a collection called THREE NOVELLAS and it has been published by my own Gibbon Moon Books press.
I would say that this book is absolutely representative of my best work as a whole. In other words, if you don't like this book I can confidently state that you probably won't like any of my others.
The book is available as a paperback and an ebook. Earlier this year I paid for ten proper ISBNs for my small press and I will be issuing ten of my own books to form a set. This book is perhaps the most vital part of this set.************************************************
I am very pleased with this book. I believe that my stories of Clumsy Carnacki are both a genuine tribute to the original tales of William Hope Hodgson and an ironic variation on them in postmodern mode.
Whether hardcore Hodgson fans will like them is a different question entirely. But my own view is that variations on a theme or style or tradition are valid and can be amusing or even epiphanic in some cases.
Anyway, the book is now available from Amazon and elsewhere in both paperback and ebook editions and in fact, as a promotional offer, the ebook is free to download for the next four days.
First published twenty years ago as part of a limited edition hardback collection from Sarob Press, my novella THE WORLD BEYOND THE STAIRWELL is now available as a standalone paperback and ebook. It is simultaneously a tribute to Hodgson and Borges, with a bit of Lovercraft thrown in for good/bad measure.
This novella received many enthusiastic reviews when it first came out and I am delighted to be able to give it another chance to reach a wider readership. The Sarob Press volume where it originally appeared was limited to only a few hundred copies.
"Enter the weird and original world of Rhys Hughes, an eerie nightmare place of monsters, demons, devils and other strange horrors. If you haven’t read anything by this author previously, then get ready for a truly terrific helter-skelter ride of the imagination." — Jeff VanderMeer.
The novella is avaialble as a paperback and ebook from Amazon and elsewhere.
Amazon outlets at the cheapest possible price that I was permitted to set for it.
I supposedly gave up writing horror stories ten years ago, but here I am, still writing the occasional horror story. How do I resolve this contradiction? I guess I could say that my 'horror' isn't conventional horror and maybe isn't horror at all, but something else: dark absurdist fantasy, perhaps, or ironic gothic fantastika. But no, that doesn't really wash.
The truth is that I hardly read horror now but I read it when I was young, in my early teens, and began to move away from it over the subsequent years. By the time of the publication of my first short stories I had completely abandoned horror for other kinds of writing. The stories I wrote between the ages of 14 and 17 (all lost now) were probably the purest horror I have written. However, formative influences can never be entirely disengaged from. There is some horror still deep in my writing soul and it comes out now and then.
And yes, he has learned wisdom over the years and wraps legends around himself like a cloak.
But here also are the delights and perils of experimental forms. Sinbad is locked into a rigorous numerological exploit with previously unknown brothers, is compelled to find safe passage through labyrinths of layered, divergent and fractured narratives, and must put his supreme talents to surviving cultural catastrophes.
"The wages of sin are death, they say, but we sin every day, and Sinbad earns his salary anyway, on seven salty seas."*****************************
The back of the book reads as follows: "The bunnies of imagination are seeking entry to your mind. Offbeat but timely, whimsical but wise, playful but perceptive, these quirky and mostly short poems may put you in mind of Ogden Nash, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan or any other absurdist poet you like, and put a smile on your face while doing so. It is sensible to be silly, profoundly so in some instances. That is the general message of this collection. The bunnies of imagination are already queuing. Will you let them in?"
It has blurbs from Samuel Delany, Bruce Boston and Maithreyi Karnoor (my favourite poet) and I am waiting for the first reviews to roll in (assuming there are any!)
I was on radio recently to talk about the book and that programme can be found here on Siren Radio.
I am a regular poetry contributor to Borderless Journal and three of the poems in Bunny Queue can be found online in the May 2021 issue (I have had poems and articles in every issue of Borderless for more than one year now).
The book itself is available at Amazon and other online bookshops and maybe in some bricks and mortar bookshops too.************************
I began writing Students of Myself back in 2017 and finished in early 2020. I wanted to create a complex story that had to be told from many different and often contradictory perspectives for it to be fully fleshed out. I think of this story as being like a circle with the truth as the centre point. This circle is divided into eighteen segments, each of which represent one 'view' of the truth. These views are only partly true but they do always contain some truth. Near the end of the novella the framing device becomes part of the story and is itself framed.
Enought of that! If you are interested, the novella is there to be read... and if you aren't interested there's not much point in trying to persuade you otherwise :-)
It's a Western, yes, and furthermore it's a Weird Western, and I am very pleased with the way it has turned out. It's a collection of stories and poems and includes a play and an article too.
Published by Black Scat Books, the book description runs as follows:
"Rhys Hughes saddles up & blasts his way across the vast plains — kickin’ up trouble in this hog-wild collection of Western Weirdness. Using various forms (short stories, a play, lonesome poems — even a garsh-dang essay!), he roasts the genre & serves up some hearty, avant-garde grub — fresh as a dew-dappled Texas rose. Guns, puns, cowgirrrls & tumbleweed — what more could ya ask for?"
I am going to run a book promotion for this book as follows: if you purchase the book and take a photograph of yourself holding it, I will put your name into a hat and when there are 25 names in that hat I will dip in my hand and pull one out. The winning name will receive a free copy of my next book, My Rabbit's Shadow Looks Like a Hand, when it is published.
In fact I think I might do this with all my subsequent books... Anyway, this new book is now available on Amazon and elsewhere. I had enormous fun writing it and I hope you will have fun reading it.
"Who are the Corybantic Fulgours? They are monsters. They live in a room, a room as large as the inside of the Moon, and in this room there are all sorts of ways and means, odds and ends, curves and bends, and no one but no one can ever say what the right way from here to there is. Most monsters don't care about things like that, and the Corybantic Fulgours are made from curdled light, so they care even less. Let's open the door to that room and step inside..."
CARRYING WOMEN ACROSS RIVERS
Quirky poetry in the light-hearted tradition of Richard Brautigan, Don Marquis, Hilaire Belloc, Blaise Cendrars and Edward Lear. 133 verses and prose poems ranging in length from one-sentence quips to absurdist ballads. Space, time, love, journeys, fruit, the thoughts and feelings of inanimate objects and monsters are among the themes covered. Available from Amazon here.
THE MEANDERING KNIGHT
An adventure story in verse form. Bertie Random is an ordinary man and an unlucky traveller. While fleeing monsters on foot, he is accosted by an octopus on roller skates who gives him eight letters. These letters tell the tales of strange incidents across time and space. If Bertie learns the appropriate lessons from reading them, he will be knighted by Fate herself and his bad luck will turn into opportunity. Arise, Sir Random? Available from Amazon here.
Cover art by the excellent Selwyn Rodda.
Cover artwork by Selwyn Rodda. Fifteen one-act plays in the absurdist tradition including one longish monologue. Also songs and dances! One of the plays was written in collaboration with the Mauritian author Vatsala Radhakeesoon. None of my plays has ever been performed and only one ('Yesferatu') has even been published before (in Brazil), so maybe writing plays at my age is the super folly/crisis of a middle-aged man :-) But by heck, I enjoyed the process of writing them!
They were written for the page as well as the stage, but I do hope that one day some of them will be acted (with puppets or people) or turned into animated films. When the first is performed I will consider myself a playwright but not before then. Nonetheless, I am delighted with this volume and the way it has turned out. I only began writing plays in the year 2018. Wish I had started sooner!
The book is available from Amazon and elsewhere :-)
I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book, Crepuscularks and Phantomimes. The book was originally published in an ultra-limited edition in Brazil by Raphus Press. That edition has sold out now (unless there is a special reserve copy in the possession of the publisher; email him to inquire) but the paperback and ebook editions have just become available. The limited edition is a collector’s item. The paperback is a mass market book.
Selwyn Rodda. The book includes thirteen tales (the limited has eleven; I always add a bonus or two for paperback editions) of a strongly gothic, ghostly and lovecraftian slant. This will certainly be my very last book of horror stories. My short story writing career is drawing to a close. I planned a long time ago to write 1000 stories and no more. I am finally nearing that limit, a destination I never imagined I would arrive at.
Unlike so many of my story collections, which use horror ideas and tropes for non-horror or even anti-horror purposes, the comedy and whimsy and invention in Crepuscularks and Phantomimes is wholly with the horror authors who inspired the tales in the book. These stories are tributes to Lovecraft, Machen, Dunsany, et al. Already the book has had great reviews, for example this one, and spectacular blurbs, as follows:
“Wryly dark and creepily funny, the stories in Crepuscularks and Phantomimes simultaneously scratch the horror itch and strike your funny bone, What might happen if Firbank’s head was grafted onto Lovecraft’s body and then released into the wild.” – Brian Evenson.
“Crepuscularks and Phantomimes, Gothic, Ghostly and Lovecraftian tales in the ironic mode is a perfect showcase for the author’s adroit wordplay, for an imagination as whimsical as it is grotesque. His voice is refreshingly original, darkly witty, dazzling and delightful. My highest recommendation.” – Jeffrey Thomas.
“These tales defy anticipation, schoolbook rules, humdrum parsing, genre conventions. They stutter, they sing, they ingest and indigest. They gimp and they gag, they traject orthogonally, they do the seven year itch. They show us butts inside butts, ruts atop ruts, and guts within guts. They kick and they frack. They love craft, they craft love. They rapture and enrapture, if sometimes only fractionally. They case shadows and shadow casts. They separate and conjoin, and when they stop dancing, the jig still isn’t up. Enter this collection at your peril and try not to fret if you emerge as someone you don’t yet recognise. All will be well, and if it isn’t, oh well, you’ve had a hell of a slide.” – Michael Bishop.
One of the stories in the book has been translated into Russian and has just gone up on the website of the premier Russian horror fiction journal, Darker Magazine. This is only the second time I have been translated into Russian.
My new book has just been published. Copies arrived for me today.
SLAP-ON-THE-WRIST STORIES is a selection of tales controlled by numbers. For example, 'Postcards From the Hedge' is told in 50 postcards from 50 different animals and each postcard is exactly 50 words long... 'Trouble with Drabbles' is a story made up of 100 stories each 100 words long... 'Only Sixty-Nine Whims Away' consists of 69 chapters each 69 words long... 'Ten of Our Trombones are Missing' consists of 66 chapters each 66 words long.
This book is therefore an example of OuLiPo writing. The title of the book was suggested to me by fantasy writer James Bennett after I had expressed my enthusiasm for Kawabata's Palm-of-the-Hand Stories, one of my favourite short story collections of all time. My book is available on Amazon and elsewhere in both paperback and ebook editions.
I had wanted to write a weird Western for a long time. This urge was considerably amplified by the weird Westerns of two great writers that I enjoyed immensely, The Hawkline Monster by Richard Brautigan and The Place of Dead Roads by William Burroughs, both of which I read a couple of years ago and which were an inspiration on my own novel.
My novel has been published by Bizarro Pulp Press and is available directly from them, or from Amazon and other online bookstores (and also from some bricks-and-mortar bookstores). The book consists of two sections that are separated in time and yet the West remains a persistent force in both, unchanging in certain ways, an eternal backdrop to the rugged minds and battered bodies that pass through it.
I always have fun writing fiction but I can say that I've never had quite so much fun writing anything as I had during the creation of The Honeymoon Gorillas. It was a romp and a rumbustious delight. I hope you get the same enjoyment from reading it !
The longest single author short-story collection in publishing history is now available as an ebook!
In fact it is available as two ebooks, because it comes in two different editions, male and female, that differ in 10% of their contents. This is a trick that I picked up from Milorad Pavić, whose Dictionary of the Khazars also comes in male and female editions.
People keep asking me how I selected the variant stories for the two editions. The fact of the matter is that there is no rhyme or reason to the selection. I am not trying to make a point about differing male and female tastes in fiction. Quite the contrary! The differences are surely there but also insignificant.
As incredible as it sounds, there may actually be a print version next year. A publisher who has already issued a couple of my books is interested in bringing out a strictly limited multi-volume edition. It remains to be seen how practical this venture will turn out to be...
In the meantime here is the collection for the Kindle. THE MILLION WORD STORYBOOK features exactly 365 stories, one every day for an entire year. If you follow the link and click on 'Look Inside' you can read a sample for free. The book is so long that the sample, which is a certain percentage of the digital book, already contains 54 stories.
Links to purchase this ebook can be found below...

Amazon UK -- Female Edition
Amazon UK -- Male Edition
This collection contains approximately one third of my total fiction output over the past 25 years. The stories are presented in chronological order of their composition. The earliest dates from 1990 and the latest dates from this year 2015 and in fact is one of my most recently completed tales. As I plan to write 1000 stories in my working life, this collection will contain one quarter of my entire output ever!
I believe that this is a major literary event. Well, at the very least, it is a major personal event for myself and for the writer that I am and have been all my life...
32 quirky tales of unusual fantasy, philosophical satire, ironic adventure and logical daftness... The official launch date is actually next month but my author's copies are already in my hands. I am working on preparing an official launch event soon. It will be a party of some kind.
Review copies have been sent out and have reached most of the reviewers. I have high hopes for this collection, but of course what I like isn't always what the reading public like. In fact it is frequently at odds.
No matter. I write the kinds of books I most enjoy reading and ultimately that's all that really matters.
This photo shows me at the official book signing in the Forbidden Planet bookshop in London recently.

More than 10 years after Zoolander premiered, a sequel is in the works and one of the main stars confirmed that he's on board!
Original cast member Will Ferrell is set to appear. The veteran comedian, 47, played mean yet hilarious fashion designer Mugatu in the 2001 film.
"We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it," the actor said at the Deauville Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Zoolander 2 has yet to be officially confirmed, but the movie is listed on IMDB. Ben Stiller, who played the lead character, and Owen Wilson, who starred as Hansel, also appear on the current incomplete cast list.
"I can't say that it's actually a reality yet, but I hope some day it is," Stiller, who directed the original, told reporters during a June Q&A at Taormina Film Festival, according to Variety. "It's been about 10 years now. It's going to be old Derek Zoolander."
Actor Justin Theroux, who was also in the original, spoke about the film in an August interview with Vulture.
"Yeah, we've got a script for the sequel, and we've just been in talks again," he said. "We're trying to sharpen it and hone it and, actually, I don't want to jinx anything, but it looks like it actually might be starting to get up and running."
He added: "I met with Ben [Stiller] a couple times when I was in New York doing The Leftovers, and then I'm meeting again with him probably in September."

Looking at a population that is younger than the national average, officials in the east central Colorado town of Fountain are thinking about building a new recreation center that would appeal especially to that demographic.
Town officials also note that Fountain’s population has nearly doubled since 2000, from 15,200 to more than 29,000, according to the most recent Census Bureau survey, increasing the need for such a facility.
Earlier this year, the Highlands Ranch-based recreational consulting firm Ballard King and Associates released a document called Feasibility Study for Regional Recreational Facility that noted that Fountain area residents were “overwhelmingly in favor of having a regional center.”
That regional center would serve both Fountain and the town of Security-Widefield seven miles to the north, the construction of which would most likely be a joint project between the two towns.
That would mean that any new recreation centers, which would include a gymnasium, swimming pool, and fitness space, among other amenities, would also be serving a cumulative population of more than 61,000 people.
It is thought that such a facility would cost at least $25 million to build.
Although no timeline or funding for the recreation center has been identified, it’s possible that the project may end up as a bond proposal sometime next year.

QCX Gold Corp. [QCX-TSXV, QCXGF-OTCQB, 21MA-FSE] has released assay results from a maiden drilling program at the Golden Giant project in James Bay, Quebec.
The company said 17 holes (3,011 metres) were completed on the Golden Giant East and Golden Giant West blocks. Based on the latest results, the company said it will continue to focus on follow-up exploration of the East Block.
Drilling highlights included 0.523 g/t gold over 5.5 metres in hole GG-21-14 and 0.398 g/t gold over 10.2 metres in hole GG-21-16. Both were drilled in an area of the East Block where a folded gabbro unit can be observed.
On November 19, 2021, QCX shares closed at 10.5 cents and currently trade in a 52-week range of 26 cents and $0.075.
QCX Gold is exploring for gold and VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) mineralization on properties in Quebec. The Golden Giant project is located in the James Bay region, 2.9 kilometres from Azimut Exploration Inc.’s [AZM-TSXV] Patwon discovery on its 100%-owned Elmer property.
Azimut has said it considers Patwon to be one of the largest gold discoveries in the James Bay region since the 2004 discovery of the Eleonore deposit, which is currently owned and operated by Newmont Corp., [NGT-TSX, NEM-NYSE].
QCX’s Fernet project in located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, and is contiguous to Wallbridge Mining Co. Ltd. [WM-TSX, WC7-FWB] 100%-owned Fenelon/Martiniere gold property in Quebec, where the company has said it planned to spend $79 million in 2021.
The Golden Giant project consists of three properties, covering 18,992 hectares, and including Golden Giant East, Golden Giant West and the Kali East block.
QCX says Golden Giant shares similar geology with Azimut, including felsic to mafic volcanic rocks, northeast-trending faults and shear zones, northeast-trending fold limbs, as well as gold mineralization identified at surface.
In the first quarter of 2021, QCX identified multiple high-priority targets from a high-resolution magnetics survey on the Golden Giant East (GGE) and West (GGW)blocks.
The company said 25 targets were identified across GGE and GGW. These target were generated based on gold occurrences from surface sampling together with the structural architecture that characterizes the GGE and GGW areas of interest as interpreted from magnetic data and available geological constraints such as structural observations and field measurements.
The company said all targets warrant follow-up exploration work, with 10 marked as high priority due to the existence of a geophysical anomaly combined with existing gold values found at surface.
“After data compilation and modelling of our exploration to date, we have determined that results seen in holes GG-21-14 and GG-21-16 appear to be related to the northern limb of a folded gabbro unit located on the East Block,’’ said QCX Vice-President, Exploration Aaron Stone.
“No work has been completed along the southern limb of this unit,’’ he said.
The company will now begin compiling geological theories to determine if these holes may have missed higher-grade intercepts in the immediate area.

“And those who expected lightning and thunder, are disappointed. And those who expected signs and archangel’s trumps do not believe it is happening now.

The United States is considered the longest standing “democracy” by bourgeois thinkers because it’s never actually been a democracy, and has survived so long by undemocratically suppressing its proletariat. The jingoists who say it’s a republic and not a democracy are at least being honest about the nature of the social order they support. The USA was designed to be a modern version of Rome, an empire that only represented the interests of those who most directly benefit from the violence against the oppressed nations. Those being the rich, and the social base that’s bribed to align with the interests of the rich.

What are we to make of a Democratic Party that has embraces an election strategy that includes demobilizing the majority working-class non-Republican electorate; legitimizing right-wing agendas and narratives; seeks bipartisan cooperation with right-wing politicians such as Liz Cheney; refuses to attack archaic minority rule institutions including the Electoral College and the Senate filibuster; repeatedly backs down from hauling Donald Trump into court and funds far-right Republican candidates in this year’s primary elections, repeating the disastrous Hillary Clinton campaign’s “Pied Piper” ploy of promoting the supposedly “more beatable” Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries?

According to William I. Robinson, the COVID pandemic has further intensified the structural crisis of global capitalism and has caused numerous uprisings and revolts around the world, which global elites are trying to suppress via militarization, police repression, and surveillance.
It has become impossible not to notice the trend. Whether it is banning the word “gay,” or banning books that contain topics related to human sexuality, or the Supreme Court decision to overturn a woman’s federal right to an abortion, the war on human sexuality and those who are sexually divergent is ramping up on multiple fronts. Even I’ve been a target of this war. Because of my outspoken advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth, I have been labeled a “groomer” by a few figures on the far right.

On Jan. 9, 1966, the White Knights of the Mississippi Ku Klux Klan murdered the Black civil rights activist Vernon Dahmer in Hattiesburg, Mississippi after fire-bombing and shooting into his house. It was one of thousands of hate crimes conducted in the south by whites who waged a reign of terror against Blacks to frighten them from abandoning calls for desegregation and voting rights.
In front of us, something is unfolding that we don’t want to properly see, but that we subconsciously recognize. The warning signs for a fascist crackdown in America have been here for years, if not decades. It’s now that they’ve become too big for much of this country’s complacent left to ignore. We’re accelerating towards a level of direness which people living under fascism so often can’t perceive at first, until the reality of their situation has finished creeping up onto them. By George Jackson’s definition of fascism, which is when capitalism forcibly maintains itself through reform, we’ve already been living under fascism for generations. With the Supreme Court’s decision and its ramifications, this is becoming more visible to more people.
The overturning of the landmark Roe v Wade case providing federal protection for a woman’s right to choose is both appalling and enraging. Now, several conservative states have already begun outlawing abortion rights. It is undeniable that women’s rights have taken an enormous blow, and the effect will have repercussions around the world.
If you’ve never traveled around the state of Texas, you won’t really get an accurate picture of this odd land of extremes. The cities, especially Austin and Houston, are islands of relative sanity surrounded by a sea of crazy. All this considered, the unveiling of the Texas GOP’s platform should come as no surprise. They have merely tapped into the paranoid, hyper-nationalist, fascist zeitgeist so prevalent among a large swath of its white, Christian population.
As we observe Pride Month, we should remind ourselves that the original Pride Parade was a riot, not a celebration of conformity to society. There were no permits issued to the people who marched down those streets in New York City. There were no corporate, bank or military floats participating. And it was mocked by mainstream press like the New York Times.

What a hustler! Bradley Cooper braves the rain in New York in dapper military inspired outfit at American Hustle premiere
There is little doubt about his heartthrob status.
And on Friday, Bradley Cooper showed off the fine form that has earned him the accolade of Hollywood hunk.
All eyes were on the actor as he put in a dashing appearance at the New York screening of his latest flick, American Hustle.
Leading man! Bradley Cooper is dapper in a royal blue coat as he attends the premiere of his latest film American Hustle in NYC
The 38-year-old wore a
very dapper military inspired ensemble consisting of green army style
trousers which he teamed with a very smart royal blue military coat and a
pair of black laced army boots.
The handsome Silver Linings star showed that when it comes to fashion he has his finger on the pulse - perhaps the influence of his model girlfriend Suki Waterhouse - as he sported a very on-trend tartan shirt under his fitted coat.
Bradley graced the red carpet for the New York screening of his latest film, the highly anticipated American Hustle, in which he stars alongside his Silver Linings co-star Jennifer Lawrence as well as stars Amy Adams and Christian Bale.
Bromance: The 38-year-old actor gives his director David O Russell a big smooch at the after party at Monkey Bar on Friday night
The blue eyed actor attended the event without his British girlfriend Suki but enjoyed a red-carpet bromance moment with his director David O. Russell affectionately giving the 55-year-old a kiss on the cheek as the duo hammed it up for photographers.
American Hustle is a fictional story loosely based on the 1978 Abscam sting in which the FBI snagged members of Congress for accepting bribes from a fake Arab sheik.
Also spotted at the screening, which took place at New York's Lighthouse International Theatre, were Bradley's co-stars Amy Adams and Christian Bale.
Military chic: The Hollywood hunk opted for a military inspired ensemble for the NYC screening
Sophisticated: Actress Amy Adams who also stars in the film looked elegant in a sophisticated black dress with lace detailing
Rugged: A bearded Christian Bale attends the NYC screening of American Hustle in which he stars alongside Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence
In sync: The Batman star attended the screening and after party with his wife Sibi Blazic with the duo both dressed in all black ensembles
Amy, 39, looked stunning in a simple yet sophisticated black cocktail dress with lace detailing whilst bearded Batman star Christian Bale looked handsome but low key in his all black ensemble as he attended the event with his wife Sibi.
Other stars attending the screening and after party at the Monkey Bar included actor Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick.

William James scandalized his brother Henry during a visit with the latter in England, by mounting a ladder and peering into the garden next door in hopes of spotting G.K. Chesterton. The story is well-known among Jamesians, but David Lodge's fictionalized version in A Man of Parts adds a delightful layer of (presumably) invented but entirely plausible detail, bringing H.G. Wells and his young mistress (whose favorite philosopher was F.C.S. Schiller) into the scene.
A few pages earlier we're treated to Wells' seductive explication of Pragmatism.
I've related roughly the same account many times, to many young people, but without Wells' results. Or intentions.

The real estate market is flooded with information, some accurate and some misleading. This plethora of advice can be a double-edged sword, especially for first-time buyers or sellers. In particular, the Coronado real estate market, with its unique blend of luxury homes and waterfront properties, is often subject to misconceptions that can deter potential investors. In this blog post, we aim to dispel five common real estate myths, so you can make informed decisions.
Myth 1: You Must Have a 20% Down Payment
One of the most prevalent myths is that a 20% down payment is mandatory for purchasing a home. While a larger down payment can reduce your monthly mortgage payments, many lenders offer options that require less than 20%. In some cases, first-time homebuyers can even qualify for loans with down payments as low as 3.5%. Don’t let the 20% rule discourage you from exploring the Coronado real estate market.
Myth 2: Real Estate Agents Are Expensive and Unnecessary
In the age of online listings, some people believe that real estate agents are no longer essential. However, an experienced agent brings invaluable expertise in negotiating, understanding contracts, and spotting potential issues that you might overlook. They can also give you tailored access to listings that fit your specific criteria, including those in niche markets like Coronado real estate.
Here are some key reasons why it's important to work with a real estate agent:
Expertise and Experience
Market Knowledge: Agents have a deep understanding of market trends, including comparable sales, pricing strategies, and neighborhood conditions, which can inform both buying and selling decisions.
Legal and Regulatory Knowledge: Real estate transactions require compliance with local, state, and federal laws. An agent will ensure that all procedures and paperwork are correct and submitted on time.
Negotiation Skills: An experienced agent can negotiate effectively on your behalf, aiming to get you the best possible price and terms for the property.
Time and Convenience
- Coordination: An agent handles a myriad of tasks, from scheduling viewings and inspections to coordinating with lenders, lawyers, and other parties involved in the transaction.
- Accessibility: Real estate agents can give you access to a wider array of listings, including those that may not be publicly advertised.
- Streamlined Search: For buyers, agents filter properties based on your preferences and budget, reducing the time you'd spend on property searches.
Myth 3: The Market Could Crash Soon, So It’s Better to Wait
Market speculation is a tricky business, and waiting for the "perfect" moment could mean missing out on great opportunities. While it's essential to understand market trends, predicting a crash is nearly impossible. A balanced market analysis, conducted with the help of real estate professionals, can provide more accurate guidance on when to invest.
Myth 4: Home Renovations Always Increase Value
While renovations can enhance your living experience and even increase your home's value, not all improvements deliver a high return on investment. Expensive upgrades like adding a swimming pool or a gourmet kitchen may not significantly increase the property’s sale price. Before undertaking any major renovations, consult with an agent who understands the local market conditions, especially in specialized markets like Coronado.
Myth 5: Pricing Your Home Higher Leaves Room for Negotiation
Setting an inflated price with the idea of having room for negotiation can backfire. Overpriced homes tend to stay on the market longer and may eventually sell for less than their actual worth. Buyers and their agents often have a good understanding of market values, making it hard to fool them with inflated prices. A professional real estate agent can help you price your home accurately, ensuring a quicker and smoother sale process.
Myth 6: Open Houses Sell Homes
Open houses are often thought of as a necessity for selling a property. While they can generate interest, they rarely are the sole reason a home sells. Many serious buyers prefer private viewings, and open houses sometimes attract people who are not earnestly looking to make a purchase. Don't rely solely on open houses; consider other marketing methods as well. Here are some other effective methods you can use to market Coronado real estate:
MLS & Syndication
- MLS Listings: Ensuring your property is listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) will give it extensive reach among buyer's agents.
- Listing Syndication: Use services that distribute your listing across multiple real estate websites and platforms.
- Website: Create a professional website showcasing listings, client testimonials, market trends, and other valuable information.
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Optimize your website to rank higher on search engines for keywords relevant to your market.
- Social Media: Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to post listings, share informative articles, and engage with potential clients.
- Email Campaigns: Send newsletters and targeted emails featuring new listings, market updates, and home buying or selling tips.
Myth 7: The Internet is All You Need
While the internet has made property listings and real estate information widely accessible, it's not a replacement for professional advice. Online data can be outdated, inaccurate, or misleading. A qualified real estate agent like those at Del Coronado Realty can provide you with real-time, accurate information and guide you through the complexities of buying or selling a home.
Myths and misconceptions can cloud your judgment and result in costly mistakes when it comes to real estate investments. By debunking these myths, you're one step closer to making well-informed decisions. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or someone interested in luxury markets like Coronado real estate, it’s crucial to gather accurate information and consult with professionals.
If you're navigating the complex waters of the real estate market, don't go it alone. Reach out to Del Coronado Realty, your trusted partner in all things real estate. With expert knowledge of the market conditions and a customer-first approach, Del Coronado Realty
will help you find the perfect property that aligns with your lifestyle and financial goals. So why wait? Take the first step towards owning your dream home today.

By Bev Odom/The Red River Sun—
WELLINGTON – A 2020 graduate of Wellington High School, Parker O’Rear planned all along to stay right here in Collingsworth County and farm with his dad, Richard O’Rear.
Parker did not even realize at the time they began the 2020 harvest that their cotton would be the first bale at Farmers Cooperative Society #1.
“We started stripping at the Kelso place just northwest of Wellington on Monday, Oct. 5,” O’Rear said. “The module trucks began picking it up the next day.”
On Oct. 14, the gin cranked up and got going.
“I like to see young farmers like Parker taking over,” said Kim Martindale, gin manager. “For the year, the quality of the cotton is very good although we are going to gin less than our average.”
Farmers Co-op ended the 2019 ginning season with 112,249 bales, just 1,739 less that 113,988 for 2018 and almost the same as 2017 at 112,267.
“Once we get going 24/7, we can gin 1,000 bales a day,” Martindale said. “We are waiting to get our night crew going as soon as possible. For some reason, the same guys from prior years aren’t wanting to come up this year.”
Although young in years, O’Rear is knowledgeable about growing cotton. He said the NexGen variety of dryland cotton made over a bale per acre, which is pretty good for how dry it’s been in his opinion.
William O’Rear, Parker’s grandad, died Dec. 2, 2018 at the age of 97. A lifelong farmer, he hauled bales of cotton to Hollis from the Rolla gin for many years. William’s dad, Levi Wallace O’Rear, farmed in the area as well. Levi’s dad settled at Rolla in 1903, according to the Collingsworth County History Book, Volume I.

Want to read Slashdot from your mobile device? Point it at m. How is that? By law they can't just arrest you willy nilly, but realistically police can arrest you for whatever they want on trumped up charges. Receiving a report of harassing minors may actually be enough reason for an arrest. It is difficult to compare child molestation rates between countries, but there is little reason to believe that America does better despite having far harsher punishments. Outrage and moral hysteria rarely lead to good outcomes. No district attorney is going to be re-elected by preventing child abuse. Their motivation is to fill prison cells instead.

So how can parents discuss dating and sex with their sexually active kids in a healthy way? Melistas offers some advice. She adds that parents should discuss the emotional consequences that come along with being sexually active — as well as pregnancy, the risks of STDs, when and where it is appropriate to have sex and the risks of sexting and social media. But it varies based on the kid. Changes in attitude, devoting all their time or becoming obsessed with one person and giving up previously loved activities are all warning signs, too.
I t's so unfair. No one understands you. People who actually have no idea tell you what to do all the time. About anything. No one is there when you discover something completely weird about the world. Not all the time. Some of the time. There are experts in adolescence, apparently. There are manuals that are fine if you accept that you just need to change the settings on teenagers until their lights flash on and off.
A Michigan mother held back tears Monday as she was sentenced to prison for luring two teenage boys by using Snapchat and then having sex with them -- incidents she called the "biggest regret" of her life. Brooke Lajiness, 38, was sentenced to a minimum of four years and nine months in prison, according to MLive. The mother of two children could serve a maximum of 15 years in prison. Brooke Lajiness, of Chelsea, Mich. Lajiness lured the teenage boys, who were 14 and 15 at the time, by sending them naked pictures of herself on Snapchat and then having late-night sexual encounters near their parents' homes while sitting in her car, investigators said.

Dhaka awaits worse waterlogging woes: Experts
‘10 vigilance teams formed for quick response to water stagnation’
05 May 2018, 10:14
Dhaka: Though the government and authorities concerned assured the city dwellers of facing less waterlogging this season, the recent pre-monsoon showers have exposed that there is still much work needs to be done to keep commuters free from rainwater miseries.
Urban experts fear that things will get worse in case of heavy rains during June and July with many areas getting swamped with rainwater like previous years due to poor drainage system and unplanned city development works, reports the UNB.
They think the restoration of the natural drainage network through reclaiming 43 canals from grabbers alongside proper maintenance of the existing drains and their further upgradation with proper plans are necessary to get rid of the capital’s perennial waterlogging problem.
As the city dwellers went through immense sufferings over the last few days, the Local Government Ministry formed 10 vigilance teams comprising high officials of the ministry for quick response to waterlogging in the two cities of the capital.
The ministry also directed the two city authorities and Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Dwasa) to take steps so that rainwater does not remain stagnant in any city area for more than three hours.
At different programmes early this year, Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Khandker Mosharraf Hossain and Dhaka Wasa Managing Director Taqsem A Khan assured that the capital will experience lesser waterlogging this season.
Contacted, Khandker Mosharraf said the waterlogging problem could not be improved significantly in the capital despite their various steps as the drainage system here is very outdated. ‘We’re working to upgrade it.’
He said they have already formed a coordination committee involving Dhaka Wasa, authorities of the two cities, Dhaka Deputy Commissioner, Public Works and Water Resources Ministries, Water Development Board and all the departments concerned for quick removal of rainwater. Local Government Ministry additional secretary Mahbubur Rahman has been made the head of the committee.
Besides, the minister said, the 10 vigilance teams are there for quick response to waterlogging in any area of the two cities.
Local Government Ministry additional secretary Roksana Quader said the coordination committee formed to resolve the waterlogging problem has already held several meetings. ‘We hope we’ll be able to clear rainwater very quickly this time.’
She said the Finance Ministry has already given Wasa Tk 20 crore for taking steps to control waterlogging. ‘Wasa will also be given Tk 20 crore further by June and July in this regard.’
Besides, Roksana said, they have taken various short- mid- and long-term projects to eliminate the waterlogging problem from the city.
A high official at the ministry, wishing anonymity, said they have taken measures for updating the laws and rules of Wasa and two city corporations, and specify their responsibilities to resolve waterlogging and some other city problems in a coordinated way.
He said they have also taken projects to clean up the clogged drains and keep those functional.
Wasa Managing Director Taqsem Khan said there will be no waterlogging this season unless there are heavy downpours.
‘The ministry has asked us to remove rainwater by three hours, but we’ll do it before that. We’ve taken preparations to pump out water in case of serious water stagnation.’
Dhaka South City Corporation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Khan Mohammad Bilal said Dhaka Wasa is implementing a project to free 26 canals of the two cities from grabbers. ‘There’ll a marked improvement if the project is properly implemented.’
Dhaka North City Corporation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mohammad Mesbaul Islam said they have long been implementing various projects for improving the drainage system. ‘We’ve implemented some projects while works on some others are still going on. There’ll be no water stagnation once we can complete all the projects.’
Contacted, Prof Sarwar Jahan of Buet’s Urban and Regional Planning (URP) department said rainwater flow is being obstructed due to unplanned urbanisation, construction of roads and houses and other structures occupying canals and water bodies.
He said many areas of the two Dhaka city corporations are still not there under drainage network for lack of canals while the drains and storm-sewerage lines remain clogged with wastes for not cleaning up those regularly, causing waterlogging.
Urban expert and ex-chairman of University Grant Commission Prof Nazrul Islam said the city drainage system cannot work properly for lack of maintenance and monitoring. ‘The construction materials like cement, clinker, bricks and sand are also blocking the drains, affecting their capacity to flush out rainwater.’
He said the city corporations fail to ensure a proper waste management while people litter here and there for lack of awareness. ‘That’s why the existing drainage system loses its effectiveness choked by wastes.’
Prof Islam said a single agency should be entrusted with the responsibility for maintaining the city’s drainage system to ensure its better management.
According to a study jointly conducted by Buet and BRAC University in 2015, potential damages from Dhaka’s water-logging is likely to be between Tk110 billion and Tk139 billion by 2050 if the government fails to construct flood-resistant infrastructure and upgrade the existing ones.


After much wrangling behind the scenes, the composer Simon Boswell has released a selection of his best film-score music on iTunes, an album called Close Your Eyes. The highlight is a rap by the Scots actor Ewan McGregor, in which he takes the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious and Marc Bolan to task for dying young. The expletive-laden lyrics refer to the line from The Who’s anthemic song “My Generation”: “I hope I die before I get old”. McGregor sings: “F*** Pete Townshend and the song that he sung/I don’t wanna die while I’m still young.” And goes on: “Don’t wanna be Sid Vicious, be a c*** and OD/Or get it on like Marc Bolan, wrap my Mini round a tree/Don’t wanna take a jet and have some terrorist bomb it/Don’t wanna be like Jimi Hendrix and make a meal of my vomit.” Great stuff. Source: www.newstatesman.comYou can find the cd on iTunes. (The song is called Time To Die, by Simon Boswell featuring Ewan McGregor). Thanks to Reene and Roberta for the heads up! :smile:and let me just say Ewan’s song is AMAZING! :tongue:

A lot of things have changed over the recent weeks. Among them was the swearing in of a governmental administration whose approach to climate change and sustainability is…questionable. Many of the rules and regulations that safeguard against environmental disasters are being rolled back. This means that it is up to us, the consumers, to take the steps necessary to improve the sustainability of our communities and to reduce our collective footprints.
If you’re overwhelmed by this and not sure where to start, don’t worry; you are not alone. Most of us are feeling this way, so we thought it would be a good time to put together some steps that we can each take to reduce our carbon footprints at home and within our professional and commercial spaces.
Where does your power come from? Many of us are still powered primarily by fossil fuels because they’re cheaper than power gained from sustainable options. Now is the time to find a way to pay that extra ten to twenty dollars every month. Before you panic, know that there are plenty of ways to create wiggle room in your budget to accommodate this expense. And if you live in a state with a deregulated energy market, you can shop around for sustainable energy rates that are budget friendly. In Canada, there are sites on Alberta Energy Providers to make comparison shopping easy. Your local state or town likely has a similar marketplace to help you narrow down your choices as well.
It is important that you do this at work as well as at home. If you own your own business, look into better rates for your office space or retail shop. If you are not your company’s owner, talk to your boss about making the change. Be sure to talk up the savings he or she will get; it will appeal to their desire to improve their profit margins.
You should also take some time to call your local officials and encourage them to opt for renewable energy sources for the municipal buildings (and vehicles!). Call your city and county commissioners, city managers, even your state reps. Put together some information for them–you’ll get further than you would if you simply made the request and hung up. Give them information about the Go Green Program, which helps make sustainable measures more affordable for municipalities and neighborhoods.
At home, there are dozens of different things you can do to reduce your power consumption. Line drying your laundry, unplugging power strips when you leave the house, reducing your dependence on HVAC systems, turning off the lights when you leave a room, using energy efficient lights and appliances–you know the drill.
There are also larger steps you can take. Installing even one solar panel dramatically reduces your dependency upon your municipal power grid. Using solar chargers and lights wherever you can (especially on porches and in yards) is also helpful.
In your business, you can take these same steps to incorporate solar power into your company’s property. You can also look at creating sustainable decorations like creating rooftop gardens, hanging planters on parking structures, etc. There are a lot of creative ways to “green up” a corporate and civilian space.
For example, if you have a water feature as part of your decor, install a feature that recycles its water instead of allowing fresh water to continuously run through it. If your offices are located in a building with a workout room or a gym, hook up the training machines to the building’s wiring so that the people doing the training are helping to power the building. Allow people to telecommute from home, reducing their commute-based waste (gas, exhaust, etc).
One great example of a municipal waste reduction happened in New Hampshire, where residents were charged for trash collection by volume instead of a flat rate. They had to purchase specific bags for the garbage collectors to pick up. The reduction in waste was significant as it forced residents to evaluate each item they were thinking of putting into the trash.
One of the very best ways to reduce your community’s carbon footprint and improve sustainability, try to shop only at local shops, grocers, etc. Prioritize businesses that take steps to improve their sustainability and reduce their power consumption. Shopping and dining locally helps the local economy but it also reduces the amount of money spent on transportation and packaging costs–for the consumer and the provider!
Form local groups for stuff like composting, recycling, runs to the dump, etc. You can even set up a group to swap clothes, books, etc. to reduce money spent buying these things new and encouraging your community to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Remember improving sustainability and fighting climate change isn’t just up to the government. It is also up to us. Use these hints to help your home and your community work together to be as green as possible!

WASHINGTON - With his choice of Jacob Lew to be the secretary of Treasury, President Obama on Thursday will complete the transformation of his economic team from the big-name economists and financial firefighters hired four years ago to budget negotiators ready for the next fiscal fights in Congress.
If confirmed by the Senate, Lew -- Obama's chief of staff and former budget director -- would become the president's second Treasury secretary, succeeding Timothy Geithner, who was the last remaining principal from the original economic team that took office at the height of the global crisis in January 2009.
While the team is changing, so far it is made up entirely of men who have been part of the administration since its first months. Gene Sperling, like Lew a veteran of the Clinton administration, is expected to remain as director of the White House National Economic Council. Alan Krueger, a former Treasury economist, continues for now as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and Jeffrey Zients as acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Tested as early as next month
That composition gives Obama a high degree of comfort with his economic advisers, who have experience in the budget struggles that have occupied the administration since Republicans took control of the House two years ago. Those struggles will resume later this month. Yet the continuity also plays into criticism that the president is too insular.
If Lew is confirmed in time, his first test as Treasury secretary could come as soon as next month, when the administration and congressional Republicans are expected to face off over increasing the nation's debt ceiling, which is the legal limit on the amount that the government can borrow. Obama has said he will not negotiate over raising that limit, which was often lifted routinely in the past, but Republican leaders have said they would refuse to support an increase unless he agrees to an equal amount of spending cuts.
Lew was passed over for Obama's economic team four years ago, when Obama instead chose Lawrence Summers, a former Harvard University president and Treasury secretary, as director of the National Economic Council. Clinton then hired Lew at the State Department, and in late 2010 -- over the objections of Clinton, who had come to rely on Lew -- Obama made him budget director, the same post Lew had held late in the Clinton administration.
Lew in the 1980s was a longtime Democratic adviser to then-Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, participating in fiscal talks with the Reagan administration. Lew is known for his low-key style and organizational skills.
Emphasis has shifted
While Lew has much less experience than Geithner in international economics and financial markets, he would come to the job with far more expertise in fiscal policy than Geithner did. That shift reflects the changed times, when emphasis has shifted from a financial crisis to the budget fights with Republicans.
The partisan tension suggests that Lew will be grilled by Republicans in confirmation hearings. But, Republicans have not signaled the kind of opposition they put up to some other potential nominations.
It also would create a vacancy for what would be Obama's fifth White House chief of staff. The leading candidates are said to be Denis McDonough, the deputy national security adviser, and Ronald Klain, a former chief of staff to vice presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore.
Lew briefly worked at Citigroup, first as managing director of Citi Global Wealth Management and then as chief operating officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments.
Lew has a reputation as a fiscal progressive who, like Obama, is eager to protect Medicaid and other antipoverty programs. But advocates for tighter financial regulation question whether he is too conservative.
"He appears to share a Wall Street mentality, particularly when it comes to financial reform," said Dennis Kelleher, the president of Better Markets, a nonprofit. "Financial reform is all about making the banking system safer and preventing more taxpayer bailouts."

Susan Hunter's Dangerous Habits starts with journalist Leah Nash out in a storm watching to see if a tree floating down a flooded river will destroy a dam that supplies hydroelectric power to a town.
Safety crews drag the tree to the banks in time, but in the process they make a grim discovery. Nash's effort to report that discovery leads to darker revelations that set her on a personal quest.
Perhaps because Hunter is a veteran journalist, Nash thinks like a journalist and the book is written in crisp, efficient prose. I had no hesitation about making the journey with this protagonist.
Hunter gives Nash a fairly long list of suspects and quite a few allies. The book runs about 80,000 words and is well-structured. Complications and revelations happen at regular intervals.
I was most impressed by the subjects Hunter addresses. As Nash whittle's down that list of suspects, she reveals the sources of evil. They are as current today as they were when the book was written in 2014.


|Dear HGAR Members:|
Here are today’s Daily Updates – May 8, 2020:
NEW YORK STATE NEWS
Cuomo Says, ‘We Have the Beast on the Run.’Bolstered by continued statewide data that shows a decline in overall hospitalizations, intubations, new cases and deaths, Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters today at his daily COVID-19 briefing that the state is now in control of its own destiny in dealing with the Coronavirus.
He said that for the first time he believes the state is ahead of the virus. “We have the beast on the run,” Cuomo said.
However, the governor seemed to confirm what many observers have believed, that the re-opening of the downstate economy will not begin once his “New York on Pause” COVID-19 restrictions expire on May 15.
The governor told reporters that it is very likely that he will begin his multi-phased re-opening plan in areas upstate with the construction and manufacturing industries after May 15 and said that the current downstate data does not support the lifting of any restrictions here. A total of 216 people died from COVID-19 in New York State on Thursday, May 7, down from 232 fatalities a day earlier. See Bloomberg News story.
New York State Seeking $60B in Next Fed. Coronavirus Aid PackageNew York officials said on Thursday that the state requires at least an additional $60 billion in direct federal funding along with millions of dollars more from Medicaid and FEMA formula changes in the next Coronavirus aid package.
The state’s request, which is part of the National Governors Association’s bid for $500 billion for all states and territories, would be spread over three fiscal years and could be used for revenue shortfalls, according to the association. See Newsday story.
Senators Propose Bill to Help Local GovernmentsU.S. Senate Democratic Leader Charles E. Schumer, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Congressman Antonio Delgado, and U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin announced new legislation, the “Direct Support for Communities Act,” which provides local governments with direct federal relief that can be used to pay for essential services and offset lost revenues and increased costs from the COVID-19 emergency. The local assistance would complement critical relief that states also require in this crisis, which the representatives are simultaneously aggressively pursuing.
The unspecified funding under the Direct Support for Communities Act would be a critical part of a larger state and local relief package to be considered by Congress.
“Under our proposal, counties, cities, towns, and villages of all sizes could count on direct, guaranteed financial relief, instead of having to layoff vital workers, cut important services, or raise taxes and fees at absolutely the worst time,” Sen. Schumer said. “Local governments deserve nothing less than our strongest federal support, and I am doing everything I can to get significant and flexible federal aid to our states and local governments included in the next legislative package Congress considers.” See announcement at schumer.senate.gov.
How are Offices Preparing for the Return of Workers?Offices are preparing their spaces for a post-pandemic world. Companies are bringing in thermal cameras, HVAC systems that can fight bad germs, contactless coffee machines, and more as employees prepare to return to company offices in some areas of the country.
“What’s important about the COVID world is that people still feel comfortable and it feels warm and inviting when they enter the building, especially after being on the trains and buses and walking in their masks,” Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty, told The Real Deal. “Everyone wants a hospitality feel but now they will work together, six feet apart.” See Realtor Magazine story.
Suburban Office Markets Could Get Stronger Post PandemicMoody’s Analytics in a recently released report indicates that suburban office properties may make some gains over their rival central business district spaces post Coronavirus.
The analysis says businesses may be prompted to consider factors expected to affect ensuing demand on office space, particularly with concerns over COVID-19 and communication systems that allow employees to work from home, according to a report at Globest.com
“For many years, suburban office space fell out of favor because of the resurgence of U.S. cities,” said Ryan Severino, chief economist at Jones Lang LaSalle. “Is this COVID-19 crisis going to spur renewed interest in suburban markets, as households and employers move out of cities? Time will tell.” See story at GlobeSt.com. See full report at Moodys.com .
