Self-storage and the next 5-10 years
For all the self-storage investors out there, I'm new to self-storage, so forgive me if this is a simplistic set of questions, but... It seems that most of the research/data that I'm coming across regarding a self-storage investment outlook is focused on the next 1-2 years, and it seems to indicate a mostly positive investment climate. I could be totally wrong about that as I'm very new to this.
It's time to give the Republicans a chance in Buffalo
The Democratic Party has solely and exclusively controlled the mayor’s office in Buffalo for 60 years and has solely and exclusively controlled the Buffalo Common Council for about 30 years. Monopolies tend to be inefficient, to lack accountability and to lack transparency. They’re not as responsive to legitimate complaints as they should be and often take their constituents or customers for granted.
Make the Deep State Great Again
When people hear about government intelligence work, they typically imagine clandestine meetings in dark alleys—perhaps enhanced by future-tech spy gear—or else analysts in a windowless building combing over the latest electronic intercepts and satellite imagery to unravel a nefarious foreign plot before the world ends.
Protecting those below the cyber-poverty line is critical to everyone

The best thing about WCBN is the music, obvs. Nearly every time I tune into 83.1 FM, I hear something that catches my ear, or is new to me and makes me want to dig deeper, or reminds me of a band I forgot about. The second best thing about WCBN is the vintage station ID promos. (Sorry, sports-talk guys.
The Esbjorn Svensson Trio: Taking Five with E.S.T.
The Esbjorn Svensson Trio (Photo: Lisa Thorson) The Esbjorn Svensson Trio–aka E.S.T.–is huge in Europe, but the highly melodic and immediately accessible Swedish piano trio has had a harder time making a mark in the U.S. After a two-album stint with a pre-Bad Plus Columbia, the band was dropped with little fanfare or Stateside notice, even though overseas writers slobbered over the group like it was the second coming of the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio.
The Record Keepers: Mike Dutkewych
Mike Dutkewych Mike Dutkewych’s got soul. And R&B. And early rock ’n’ roll.

The Record Keepers: Carl Craig
Carl Craig Everybody remembers their first time. Especially when it involves Honey. “The first record I remember actually buying was Ohio Players’ Honey,” says Carl Craig, the legendary techno DJ, recording artist, and label head of Planet E Communications, who was 6 years old when that racy LP came out in 1975.
The Record Keepers: Ann Delisi

But in the early ’80s, while studying music at Wayne State University and working at WDET, she also had a job at the original Sam’s Jams store in Ferndale, which was a magnet for record collectors.

Arts Around Ann Arbor
Ornette Coleman, the least understood person in the room. Ornette Coleman’s music can be inscrutable to unprepared ears. The jazz giant, who died in 2015 at 85, developed a music theory he called “harmolodics.” It’s a style that goes beyond the “free jazz” tag that frequently accompanies Coleman’s name -- even if the alto saxophonist/trumpeter/violinist did release a genre-defining record under that name in 1960 -- and relies as much on a philosophical idea as a musical one.
