Monte-Carlo (en monégasque Monte-Carlu) est l'un des onze quartiers de la cité-État de la principauté de Monaco. C'est le plus connu, avec son célèbre casino.

Monte-Carlo (le « Mont-Charles ») porte ce nom italien en l'honneur du prince Charles III de Monaco et ce depuis le 1er juillet 1866.

Ce nom a été adapté en monégasque : Monte-Carlu [ˌmõteˈkaʀlu]. Cette appellation récente sonnant particulièrement bien a été donnée au lieu-dit les Spélugues (à comprendre les « Grottes » ; en monégasque Ë Speřüghe, du roman commun et au singulier *speluca, correspondant au latin classique spelunca lui-même issu du grec 'σπήλαιον'='spèlaion' signifiant grotte) après son urbanisation (Casino) : ne disait-on pas que l'ancien nom portait malchance puisqu'en allemand Spelunke (pluriel Spelunken) malgré son étymologie identique, désigne un « établissement douteux ».

Ce sont les règles typographiques relatives aux toponymes en usage à l'Imprimerie nationale qui imposent d'écrire Monte-Carlo avec un trait d'union. Il existe une commune italienne graphiée Montecarlo située dans la province de Lucques en Italie ; ses habitants sont les montecarlesi.

On prononce généralement« Monté-Carlo », mais certains disent « Monté-Carl' ». On n'utilise pas d'autre gentilé que Monégasques pour les habitants de Monte-Carlo.

Monte-Carlo est le quartier le plus célèbre de Monaco, au point d'être parfois confondu avec le pays entier, ou considéré — à tort — comme sa capitale. Les plaques automobiles de la Principauté portent la mention "MC" rappelant Monte Carlo alors qu'il s'agit d'une abréviation de Monaco. RMC (Radio Monte-Carlo) porte le nom du quartier et non celui du pays. Pour les courses automobiles, il y a le Grand Prix automobile de Monaco et le Rallye automobile Monte-Carlo.

Le développement de Monte-Carlo entraîna la création d'une véritable « banlieue » en territoire français qui devint une commune sous le nom de Beausoleil en 1904 et que l'on avait d'abord pensé appeler Monte-Carlo supérieur.

En 1856, le Prince de Monaco, pour créer des ressources, autorise l'ouverture d'un casino. Après une première installation infructueuse dans le Monaco historique (Munegu Autu - Monaco Ville), en 1862, on élève à Monte-Carlo, pour les jeux, une humble bâtisse (inaugurée en 1863) qui reste isolée, nul ne voulant acheter aux alentours un terrain avec obligation de construire. Mais tout va changer quand François Blanc, le directeur du casino de Bad Homburg, ville d'eau hessoise (située dans l'État de Hesse-Hombourg) devient concessionnaire. Grâce à ses talents et à ses capitaux, il réussit là où ses prédécesseurs s'étaient ruinés : en peu d'années, la vogue est acquise et une ville couvre bientôt le plateau de ses constructions de luxe.

En 1911, la constitution monégasque divisa la principauté en trois communes, la Commune de Monte-Carlo fut ainsi créée couvrant également les actuels quartiers de La Rousse/Saint Roman, Larvotto/Bas Moulins et Saint Michel. En 1917, on revint à une commune unique pour toute la principauté.

______________________

Monte Carlo (French: Monte-Carlo, Occitan: Montcarles, Monégasque: Monte-Carlu) is one of Monaco's administrative areas.The official capital is the city of Monaco, which is coterminous with the country itself.
Monte Carlo is widely known for its casino. The permanent population is about 3,000. Monte Carlo quarter includes not only Monte Carlo proper where the Le Grand Casino is located, it also includes the neighbourhoods of Saint-Michel, Saint-Roman/Tenao, and the beach community of Larvotto. It borders the French town of Beausoleil (sometimes referred to as Monte-Carlo-Supérieur).

Founded in 1866, Monte Carlo has a name of Italian origin meaning "Mount Charles", in honor of the then-reigning prince, Charles III of Monaco. The specific mountain is the escarpment at the foot of the Maritime Alps on which the town stands.

The history of the area and the ruling Grimaldi family, however, dates back centuries. The port of Monaco is first mentioned in historical records as early as 43 BC, when Julius Caesar concentrated his fleet there while waiting in vain for Pompey. In the 12th century, the area fell under the sovereignty of Genoa, which was granted the entire coastline from Porto Venere to Monaco. After much conflict, the Grimaldis regained the rock in 1295, but suffered a significant amount of opposition in the ensuing years. In 1506 the Monegasques, under Lucien, Lord of Monaco, were under siege for some four months by the Genoan army, which had ten times the number of men. Monaco officially received full autonomy in 1524, but experienced difficulty retaining power, and on occasions briefly fell under the domination of Spain, Sardinia, and France.

By the 1850s, Monaco’s reigning family was almost bankrupt; this was a result of the loss of two towns, Menton and Roquebrune, which had provided most of the principality’s revenues with their lemon, orange and olive crops.[3] At the time, a number of small towns in Europe were growing prosperous from the establishment of casinos, notably in German towns such as Baden-Baden and Homburg[disambiguation needed]. In 1856, Charles III of Monaco granted a concession to Napoleon Langlois and Albert Aubert to establish a sea-bathing facility for the treatment of various diseases, and to build a German-style casino in Monaco.[3] The initial casino was opened in La Condamine in 1862, but was not a success; its present location in the area called "Les Spelugues" (The Caves) of Monte Carlo, came only after several relocations in the years that followed. The success of the casino grew slowly, largely due to the area's inaccessibility from much of Europe. The installation of the railway in 1868, however, brought with it an influx of people into Monte Carlo and saw it grow in wealth.[3]

In 1911, when the Constitution divided the principality of Monaco in 3 municipalities, the municipality of Monte Carlo was created covering the existing neighborhoods of La Rousse / Saint Roman, Larvotto / Bas Moulins and Saint Michel. The municipalities were merged into one in 1917, after accusations that the government was acting according to the motto "divide and conquer" and they were accorded the status of wards (quartiers) thereafter. Today, Monaco is divided into 10 wards, with an eleventh ward planned (but currently postponed) to encompass land reclaimed from the sea (see the "Administrative Divisions" section of Monaco for additional details).

The quarter of Monte Carlo was served by tramways from 1900 to 1953, linking all parts of Monaco. In 2003, a new cruise ship pier was completed in the harbour at Monte Carlo.

Queens Museum of Art | The Panorama of the City of New York | overview of lower Manhattan from the west, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges, some of Brooklyn & Roosevelt Island, etc
new york real estate
Image by Chris Devers
A few years ago, I got to see a 1:1500 scale model of London at the Building Centre there. It is a large scale model of the heart of the city in three dimensions, with representations of most buildings, landmarks, parks, the Thames, and the (at the time yet to be built) Olympic Park.

It's extremely impressive.

And it is as nothing compared to The Panorama at the Queens Museum of Art.

Here's two panorama photos to give a sense of the scale:

• view from the “west”
• view from the ”south”



Quoting from the Museum’s page on the The Panorama of the City of New York:

The Panorama is the jewel in the crown of the collection of the Queens Museum of Art. Built by Robert Moses for the 1964 World’s Fair, in part as a celebration of the City’s municipal infrastructure, this 9,335 square foot architectural model includes every single building constructed before 1992 in all five boroughs; that is a total of 895,000 individual structures.

The Panorama was built by a team of 100 people working for the great architectural model makers Raymond Lester Associates in the three years before the opening of the 1964 World’s Fair. In planning the model, Lester Associates referred to aerial photographs, insurance maps, and a range of other City material; the Panorama had to be accurate, indeed the initial contract demanded less than one percent margin of error between reality and the model. The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the ‘64 Fair with a daily average of 1,400 people taking advantage of its 9 minute simulated helicopter ride around the City.

After the Fair the Panorama remained open to the public, its originally planned use as an urban planning tool seemingly forgotten. Until 1970 all of the changes in the City were accurately recreated in the model by Lester’s team. After 1970 very few changes were made until 1992, when again Lester Associates changed over 60,000 structures to bring it up-to-date.

In the Spring of 2009 the Museum launched its Adopt-A-Building program with the installation of the Panorama’s newest addition, Citi Field, to continue for the ongoing care and maintenance of this beloved treasure.

The Queens Museum of Art has a program giving you the opportunity to “purchase” NYC real estate on The Panorama of the City of New York for as low as . To learn how you can become involved click here.

We hope that you will take time to enjoy the Panorama of the City of New York.

The Panorama of the City of New York is sponsored by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Assembly members Mike Gianaris, Mark Weprin, Audrey Pheffer, Nettie Mayersohn and Ivan Lafayette, The New York Mets Foundation and the supporters of the Adopt-A-Building Program.

Quoting now from The Panorama section in Wikipedia’s Queens Museum of Art article:

The best known permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum is the Panorama of the City of New York which was commissioned by Robert Moses for the 1964 World’s Fair. A celebration of the City’s municipal infrastructure, this 9,335-square-foot (867.2 m2) architectural model includes every single building constructed before 1992 in all five boroughs; that is a total of 895,000 individual structures. The Panorama was built by a team of 100 people working for the architectural model makers Raymond Lester Associates in the three years before the opening of the 1964 World’s Fair. The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the ’64 Fair with a daily average of 1,400 people taking advantage of its 9 minute simulated helicopter ride around the City. After the Fair the Panorama remained open to the public and until 1970 all of the changes in the City were accurately recreated in the model by Lester’s team. After 1970 very few changes were made until 1992, when again Lester Associates was hired to update the model to coincide with the re-opening of the museum. The model makers changed over 60,000 structures to bring it up-to-date.

In March 2009 the museum announced the intention to update the panorama on an ongoing basis. To raise funds and draw public attention the museum will allow individuals and developers to have accurate models made of buildings newer than the 1992 update created and added in exchange for a donation. Accurate models of smaller apartment buildings and private homes, now represented by generic models, can also be added. The twin towers of the World Trade Center will be replaced when the new buildings are created, the museum has chosen to allow them to remain until construction is complete rather than representing an empty hole. The first new buildings to be added was the new Citi Field stadium of the New York Mets. The model of the old Shea Stadium will continue to be displayed elsewhere in the museum.



Quoting now from the explanatory sign at the exhibit:

THE PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK

The Panorama of the City of New York, the world's largest scale model of its time, was the creation of Robert Moses and Raymond Lester. Presented in the New York City Pavilion as the city’s premiere exhibit at the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair, it was intended afterwards to serve as an urban planning tool. Visitors experienced the Panorama from a simulated “helicopter” ride that travelled around perimeter or from a glass-enclosed balcony on the second floor, while news commentator Lowell Thomas provided audio commentary on “The City of Opportunity.” One of the “helicopter” cars is now on view in the Museum’s permanent exhibition, A Panoramic View: A History of the New York City Building and Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Constructed at the Lester Associates workshop in Westchester, New York, the Panorama contains 273 separate sections, many of which are four-by-ten-foot rectangular panels. They are composed of Formica flakeboard topped with urethane foam slabs from which the typography was carved. Lester Associates’ staff consulted geological survey maps, aerial photographs, and books of City insurance maps, to accurately render the City’s streets, highways, parks, and buildings. Once the Panorama’s modules were completed at Lester Associates’ workshop, they were assembled on site in the New York City Building. It took more than 100 workers, three years to complete the model.

Built on a sale of 1:1,200 (1 inch equals 100 feet), the Panorama occupies 9.335 square feet and accurately replicates New York City including all 320 square miles of its five boroughs and 771 miles of shoreline, as well as the built environment. It includes miniature cars, boats, and an airplane landing and taking off at LaGuardia Airport.

The majority of the City’s buildings are presented by standardized model units made from wood and acrylic. Of more than 895,000 individual structures, 25,000 are custom-made to approximate landmarks such as skyscrapers, large factories, colleges, museums, and major churches. The amount of detail possible on most buildings is limited; at a scale of 1 inch to 100 feet, the model of the Empire State Building measures only 15 inches. The most accurate structures on the Panorama are its 35 major bridges, which are finely made of brass and shaped by a chemical milling process.

The model is color coded to indicate various types of land use. The dark green areas are parks. Parkways are also edged in dark green. Mint green sections are related to transportation including train and bus terminals. The pink rectangles that dot the City show the locations of recreational areas including playgrounds and tennis and basketball courts. Clusters of red buildings are indicative of publicly subsidized housing.

Red, blue, green, yellow, and white colored lights were installed on the surface of the Panorama in 1964 to identify structures housing City agencies relating to protection, education, health, recreation, commerce, welfare, and transportation. Overhead lights have been designed to run in a dawn to dusk cycle, and the nighttime effect is enhanced by ultraviolet paint, illuminated by blacklight.

In 1992, the City began a renovation of the Queens Museum of Art and the Panorama. Using their original techniques, Lester Associates updated the Panorama with 60,000 changes. In the current instalation, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, visitors follow the course of the original “helicopter” ride on an ascending ramp that enables them to experience the Panorama of the City of New York from Multiple Perspectives.

UK, London, Berkeley Square
real estate london
Image by hdes.copeland
London, Berkeley Square, June 2004.

This is a late 18th century example of a highly successful mixed-use urban neighborhood located west of central London. Elegant town homes face one of the city's famous squares where both permanent and part-time residents lived. The landed gentry came to London to conduct business and engage in politics. Highly successful merchants lived among their best seasonal customers. High end shops and professional offices were located on the street level of some town houses while others serve as clubs or meeting spaces for influential cultural and political groups supported by the city's elite.

The evolution of this space is as interesting as its current use. It seems that the Berkeley family were land holders and politically active in the early 17th century. They played a role in both camps during the political upheavals surrounding the English Civil War, the execution of King Charles I and the Commonwealth government of Oliver Cromwell. Fortunately for the Berkeley family, they played both ends delicately. With the death of Cromwell, the demise of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of King Charles II, the Berkeley's were seen as what might be called the friends of Charles, the heir appearent. The Berkeley family was rewarded accordingly. Since Charles II only had a throne and his head intact, and no money, land was the most common reward for his supporters. Already well endowed with real estate, the Berkeley's were not unhappy to receive more land.

This square and the surrounding neighborhood was the site of the Berkeley family's suburban estate which in the late 1600's was still just outside the western limits of London. Besides, the Berkeley's were busy with other interests, including one serving as Colonial Governor of Virginia. They held profitable sugar plantations in the Caribbean and were partial owners of the speculative colony of New Jersey. Two Berkeley brothers were among the eight original Lord Proprietors of the new colony of Carolina which began in 1670.

They were just as interested in things profitable and political inside London. Along with others associated with the Carolina venture, the Berkeley's were contemporaries of Lord Ashley Cooper, his secretary John Locke and others who would be deeply involved with the political, economic and literary life of London just as it was becoming the center of a global empire. Eventually, the Berkeley's turned their attentions to investments closer to home. They left their names on places in Virginia and the Carolinas, but their most profitable investments eventually were those in and around London.

By the 1770's the Berkeley family had moved beyond their American colonial interests and so had London. The Berkeley's suburban estate was by then surrounded by an ever expanding, crowded and, at least for some, very prosperous London. That generation of Berkeley's decided to become real estate speculators much closer to home. In fact they tore down their family home, leveled the estate and redeveloped it as an upscale London neighborhood surrounding the square that would continue to bear the family name.

A Charleston merchant, Henry Laurens, in 1780, was technically still a prisoner of the Tower of London. Laurens, the former President of the Continental Congress, was a high profile leader in the American Revolution. He had been captured at sea by a British warship while on his way to negotiate an alliance with the Dutch against the British and could very well have been executed for treason.

London merchants ruled with as much power as the throne, at least when it came to the power of the purse. Laurens was respected, very wealthy and a skillful merchant in his own right. Among his many business friends in London he was considered to be an equal among the best of them even though he was an American. He was too important to execute as time would prove. He was eventually exchanged as a prisoner of war for Lord Cornwallis. This came just in time to be named to be one of three Americans authorized to negotiate the final peace with Great Britain ending the hostilities between England and its former colonies. Until then, and for several years during his imprisonment, Laurens had been given the freedom of the city provided he reported back to his jailers at the Tower at the end of the day.

He must have observed the construction of Berkeley Square which by then was in earnest. He must have also found the real estate enterprises of the most recent generation of Berkeley's to be interesting. By then South Carolina had become a Royal Colony and the Lord Proprietors of which the Berkeley’s were two of the wiser ones, had long ago sold their interests in what began as a private venture. Still the Berkeley’s were a familiar name to most of South Carolina’s leadership one hundred years later, if only for the Berkeley’s high profile activities of the day.

Henry Laurens was very likely intimately familiar with their involvement in London businesses with which he had dealings as he traded in international commodities, including rice and indigo dyes for the British textile industry. Laurens must have studied London’s expansion even as it was at war with its colonies in America. It's not surprising that Laurens would later try his hand at real estate speculation when he returned to Charleston.

The history of Hampstead Square, now part of Charleston's Eastside, shows that Laurens must have imagined his development in light of what he had seen in London a decade earlier. He was after all a businessman first. He harbored no real animosity toward those who kept him prisoner while giving him the run of the city. Though he had traveled to London in his youth as part of his education and many times as a young businessman before the start of the Revolution, he must have used this forced and extended stay as an opportunity to see and learn from London’s civic experiments. This was just as the industrial revolution was about to begin in England.

Of course, timing is everything in real estate markets and Laurens missed it when Hampstead was initially proposed in the early 1790’s. It could be debated that he was either fifteen years too late or fifteen years too early. Eventually his version of Berkeley Square in Charleston was built out, but Hampstead Square in Charleston today has only a fleeting resemblance to its famous cousin in London. Unfortunately Laurens was long dead before Hampstead Square turned a profit for its subsequent owners.

Another member of this family, George Berkeley, though a distant relation, was a leading light in English and Irish intellectual circles in the first half of the 18th century. As a highly regarded philosopher he would be considered an equal to Hume and Swift. His education was encouraged by Locke and Shaftsbury, not coincidently the same personalities that were involved in the founding of Carolina. This Berkeley would leave his name on educational institutions, from the famous library at his alma mater, Trinity College in Dublin, to the University of California at Berkeley.

Not that we intended to insult our Berkeley benefactors, in politics and ideas, but we now pay dubious respects to them by grossly mispronouncing their name in America. It's BARK-lay in London, but it's BURK-lee in Charleston.

Civil War Veterans In
Kansas
______

Col. R. T. Bean, aged 79, for many years in the real estate business here, died at 2:45 a. m. today at his home 342 North Lawrence Avenue. Heart disease was given as the cause of death.
He was stricken ill at 6 o’clock last night while on his way to the rooming house where he lived. He sat down to rest on a curb near his home. John Puls passed by and saw Col. Bean was ill and helped him home. He was unable to get upstairs to his room so he was given a room downstairs and a physician was called. Shortly after midnight it was seen that he was getting worse and W. R. Dulaney and Joseph Brubacher, old friends were sent for. He recognized them after they arrived and was conscious almost up to the time of his death.
Three Children Survive
Col. Bean’s wife died twenty years ago and is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery. Three children survive. They are Richard, president of the Louisville National Bank of Louisville, Ky., Robert, who lives in Texas, and Mary, who lives in North Carolina. He has no relatives living in the city, but his children all lived here formerly.
Col. Bean was a member of Gen. John Morgan’s famous cavalry, which was the terror of the Union forces west of the mountains during the war. He always attended reunions of the Confederate Veterans.
Col. Bean was president of the Southern Society which held annual meetings here in May. Every May he used to send for country hams back to his old home in Mt. Sterling, Ky.
In Grocery Business
Prior to coming to Wichita Col. Bean was in the wholesale grocery business at Mount Sterling. He came here in 1886 to engage in real estate business. For a time he was in the commission business, at the stock yards with the firm of Bean and Bleakmore, but returned to the live stock business.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church.

Virginia Beach is an independent city located in the South Hampton Roads area in the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most populous city in Virginia and the 41st largest city in the United States, with an estimated population of 435,619 in 2006.[3]

Virginia Beach is the easternmost of the Seven Cities of Hampton Roads that make up the core of the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA. This area, known as "America's First Region", also includes the independent cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk, as well as other smaller cities, counties and towns of Hampton Roads.

Virginia Beach is best known as a resort, with miles of beaches and hundreds of hotels, motels, and restaurants along its oceanfront. Every year it is host to the East Coast Surfing Championship as well as the North American Sand Soccer Championship that attracts teams from around the world. It is also home to several state parks, several long protected beach areas, three military bases, a number of large corporations, two universities, and historic sites. Near the point where the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet, Cape Henry was the site of the first landing of the English colonists bound for Jamestown on April 26, 1607.

The city is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest pleasure beach in the world. It is located at the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the longest bridge-tunnel complex in the world.[4]

Chesepians were the first inhabitants of the area now known as South Hampton Roads in Virginia of which anything is known.[5] The Algonquian word "Chesepioc" means "Great Shellfish Bay", a reference to the Chesapeake Bay. They occupied an area which is now the independent cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.[6]

In 1607, after a voyage of 144 days, three ships headed by Captain Christopher Newport carrying 105 men and boys made their first landfall in the New World where the Atlantic Ocean meets the southern mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in the northeastern part of the city. They named it Cape Henry, after Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James I of England. However, these English colonists of the Virginia Company of London left the area, as they were under orders to seek a site further inland which would be more sheltered from ships of competing European countries. They created their first permanent settlement at Jamestown.[7]

Adam Thoroughgood (1604-1640) of King's Lynn, Norfolk, England is one of the earliest Englishmen to settle in the area which became Virginia Beach. At the age of 18, he became an indentured servant to pay for passage to the Virginia Colony. He earned his freedom and became a leading citizen of the area. In 1629, he was elected to the House of Burgesses for Elizabeth Cittie [sic], one of four "citties" (or incorporations) which were subdivided areas established in 1619. [8]

In 1634, the Colony was divided into the original eight shires of Virginia, soon renamed as counties. Thoroughgood is credited with using the name of his home in England when helping name New Norfolk County in 1637. The following year, New Norfolk County was split into Upper Norfolk County (soon renamed Nansemond County) and Lower Norfolk County. Thoroughgood's choice of residence after 1634 was along the Lynnhaven River, also named for his home in England. Lower Norfolk County was quite large, and stretched all the way from the Atlantic Ocean west past the Elizabeth River, encompassing the entire area now within the modern cities of Portsmouth, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach.[8]

In 1691, Lower Norfolk County was divided to form Norfolk County and Princess Anne County. Princess Anne, the easternmost county in South Hampton Roads, extended northward from the North Carolina border to Cape Henry at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and included all of the area fronting the Atlantic Ocean. Princess Anne County was to last from 1691 to 1963, over 250 years.[9]

The small resort area of Virginia Beach grew in Princess Anne County beginning in the late 19th century, particularly after the 1888 arrival of rail service and electricity and the opening of the original Princess Anne Hotel at the oceanfront near the tiny community of Seatack. In 1891, guests at the new hotel watched the wreck and rescue efforts of the United States Life-Saving Service for the Norwegian bark Dictator. The ship's figurehead, which washed up on the beach several days later, was erected as a modest monument to the victims and rescuers along the oceanfront for more than 50 years, and later became the inspiration for the current matching Norwegian Lady Monuments in Virginia Beach, and Moss, Norway.[10]

Although the resort was initially dependent upon railroad and electric trolley service, the completion of Virginia Beach Boulevard in 1922, which extended from Norfolk to the oceanfront, opened the way for automobiles, buses, trucks, and passenger rail service, the latter of which was eventually discontinued. The growing resort of Virginia Beach became an incorporated town in 1906. In 1927 The Cavalier Hotel opened and became an extremely popular vacation spot for both the wealthy and celebrities of the time. Over the next 45 years, Virginia Beach continued to grow in popularity as a seasonal vacation spot, and casinos gave way to amusement parks and family-oriented attractions. Virginia Beach became politically independent of Princess Anne County as an independent city in 1952, although the numerous ties between Virginia Beach and Princess Anne remained. In 1963, after approval by referendum of the voters of the City of Virginia Beach and Princess Anne County, and with the approval of the Virginia General Assembly, the two political subdivisions were consolidated as a new, much larger independent city, retaining the better-known name of the Virginia Beach resort.[11]

Real estate, defense, and tourism are major sectors of the Virginia Beach economy, but the city has begun to run out of clear land available for new construction above the Green Line, an urban growth boundary dividing the urban northern and rural southern sections of the city.[12]

As such, while Virginia Beach does not have a redevelopment authority, local public and private groups have maintained a vested interest in real-estate redevelopment, resulting in a number of joint public-private projects such as commercial parks. Examples of this are the Virginia Beach Convention Center, the Oceanfront Hilton Hotel, and the Virginia Beach Town Center. Using tax increment financing through creation of special tax districts and street and infrastructure construction, the City was able to assist in financing the projects making them a reality. The Town Center opened in 2003 and still has construction taking place, while the Convention Center opened in 2005.[13] [14]

In addition, some unique structures like the Alan B. Sheppard Dome ("The Dome"), a geodesic dome and convention center designed by Buckminster Fuller and dedicated to the career of astronaut Alan Shepard that was built in the 1960s were destroyed by the city.[15]

Infill and development of residential neighborhoods has placed a number of operating constraints on Naval Air Station Oceana, a major fighter jet base for the U.S. Navy. While the airbase currently enjoys wide support from Virginia Beach at large, the Pentagon Base Realignment and Closure commission has proposed closure of Oceana within the next decade.[16]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasailing
Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat) while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail. The boat then drives off, carrying the parascender into the air. If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time. The parascender has little or no control over the parachute.

There are six parts of a parasail. The harness attaches the pilot to the parasail, which is connected to the boat, or other speeding vehicle, by the tow rope. The activity is primarily an amusement ride, not to be confused with the sport of paragliding. There are parasailing locations all over the world.

Land based parasailing has also been formed into competition sport in Northern Europe and especially in Finland. In land based parasailing, the parasail is towed behind a car or a snowmobile. In accuracy competitions the tow-vehicle controls the speed and height, and the parascender controls the lateral movement of the parasail. The competitions consist of two parts: dropping or throwing a streamer to a target, and accuracy landing. The sport was developed at the end of the 1990s in growing rapidly. The first international competitions were held in 2004.

The Crescent, Shaughnessy, Vancouver, 2009
real estate law
Image by Gord McKenna
Shaughnessy is an almost entirely residential neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, spanning about 447 hectares[1] in a relatively central locale. It is bordered by 16th Avenue to the north, 41st Avenue to the south, Oak Street to the east, and Arbutus Street/West Boulevard to the west. Recent census estimates place its population at 9020, hailing from 2970 households[1].

The neighbourhood is characterized by the affluence of its residents: at an average annual household income of 6,252 and family income of 3,895[1] it is the wealthiest neighbourhood in Vancouver[2]. It is also the site of many historical homes, especially in First Shaughnessy. 51.5% of the neighbourhood's homes were built before or during World War II, compared with 20.8% for the city at large[1]. This is largely due to the 1981 First Shaughnessy Official Development Plan by-law, which promotes private property ownership and single-family dwelling, while limiting property subdivision and population density[3].

The neighbourhood was created in 1907 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, then the largest real estate developer in Canada. It was meant as an alternative to the West End, which was the traditional home for the budding city's elite[4]. Thanks to aggressive marketing by the Railroad, highly regulated development and a stronger degree of exclusiveness, it gradually took the latter's status over the past century.

--- From Wikipedia


Activity: If you’ve never had the occasion to visit Shaughnessy, here’s an activity that lures my wife and I in every time – strolling along the streets to look at the stately mansions. I admit the kids aren’t always thrilled, but the flat streets are perfect for bicycling and scootering. Plus, if you time it right, your kids can collect chestnuts and acorns to their hearts content (there are millions to be had). Ours habitually fight over these nuts as if their life depended on it. And by the time we get home they practically forget to take their bag full of treasures out of the car. Anyway, while the kids are busy fighting over nuts we enjoy “window shopping” and dreaming on.
Age group: All ages

Expense rating: Free

: The gentle maple-lined streets are perfect for those of us who balk at hills. Our two year old manages quite well on his scooter.

: You have to be careful these stunning mansions don’t get to your head. My wife never fails to resurrect our home improvement list while all her ideas are still fresh. Last year she even went to the trouble of creating a job jar. Unfortunately, the job jar somehow got lost. It must have been Coleman.

Details: The Shaughnessy area is bounded in the north by 16th Ave., the south: King Edward, the east: Oak St., and to the west by Arbutus St. A good place to start is Osler St. which runs almost parallel with Oak, one street to the west; and then on to "The Crescent". The Crescent is a circular street with 14 gigantic homes and a beautiful green boulevard park in the middle. From the Crescent move on to Angus Drive, or Balfour Ave. Be careful if you decide to cross Granville as the traffic is heavy on this street.

Area: Vancouver

Season: All seasons

Educational highlights: Shaughnessy is the center of Vancouver’s old money. People who made their fortune in British Columbia’s timber, sugar, mining, and other industries built a neighbourhood of homes to show off their wealth and status.

Fun for the adult?: It’s fun to see how the other half lives. As Nathan puts it, “The only thing stopping us from moving here is winning the lottery.”

Albert H. Judson, born September 2, 1838 in Portland, New York, Died, December 6, 1906, Los Angeles, California.

Mr. Judson came to Los Angeles in 1873, and opened a law office and title company "Judson & Flemming," later becoming Judson, Gillette & Gibson Title Company. Mr. Judson was very successful in the California Real Estate Boom of the 1880's, instrumental in developing the areas of Hemet in Riverside County, and most importantly, Albert Judon with his real estate partner, G.W. Morgan is credited with naming the place I call home: HIGHLAND PARK.

Mr. Judson also partnered in founding the first corporate cemetery in Los Angeles on grounds under which he rests today.
