Happy Feng Shui 2013 - January 3, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

I was staring at a weird bamboo plant ($59.95) in a Cleveland plant shop. A sloe-eyed clerk glided over and breathed, Feng Shui.

Geshundheit, I thought.

Just another rube looking for philodendron on sale, Im sure she thought. Well, yeah.

Meanwhile, Im feeling like really comfortable. Plants have a special Feng Shui for me. She asked me where I work. I said, I write for a newspaper in Canton.

Oh, my, she said.

Her face indicated her Feng Shui energy meter was skyrocketing.

No, the other Canton, in Ohio, I said.

Meter falls back to below normal.

I almost bought the bamboo but detected bad karma from my credit card. I figured Id better get a handle on this Feng Shui stuff before I get into trouble.

Id just read where a company tore down a new $300 million skyscraper in Hong Kong after it failed the Feng Shui test. Lovers test their opposites Feng Shui before deciding on a relationship. All puppies have fantastic Feng Shui, so no worries there. So does the Bieber chap.

According to K. Sherab Chosang, a senior adviser with over a decade of experience in feng shui and Chinese astrology, Feng Shui is literally translated in English as 'Wind Water' and may be defined as the proper management of the flow of energy. It is also used to determine whether your home, office, or shop, among others, have good energy.

Fences are back in the city spotlight - January 3, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

TRAVERSE CITY City officials will take a peek at regulating fences after hearing complaints about 10-foot high masonry walls around residences along Division Street.

Traverse City planning commissioners directed staff to research a fence ordinance after decades of straddling what's been a contentious issue. Planners have considered an ordinance four times since 1977, but never acted.

The lack of city guidelines for fence building coupled with recent construction of a nearly 10-foot high cement wall on the west side of Division Street prompted residents Pat and Dennis LaBelle to request city action.

"It's a perfect time to address this because it's so ugly, it just sticks out, it really does," Pat LaBelle said of the new wall. "That's a good example of how bad it can get."

Such walls reduce neighborhood safety by obstructing views and give tourists the wrong impression of Traverse City, the LaBelles said.

"The unintentional message these high, solid walls sends to visitors is that there are potential crime issues and that people are not welcome in this area," the LaBelles wrote in a letter to the planning commission.

Kathie Scott lives at Fifth Street and Division and has heard criticism that residential walls make Division Street look like Detroit. She shrugs it off.

"Tough, you don't live here," she said of wall critics.

Scott tried wood fences and cedar shrubs but said they didn't help block traffic noise from busy Division Street.

"We were not able to have a conversation in the back-yard until the traffic clears, and do you know how often the traffic clears on Division?" Scott said. "Not very often."
