Portion of Majestic Hotel Is Demolished - March 3, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

HOT SPRINGS, AR -- A fire destroyed part of the Majestic Hotel, a landmark in Hot Springs, on Thursday.

While the more modern part of the building still stands, the portion built in the late 1800's, has been reduced to rubble after demolition took place.

Hot Springs Chief Ed Davis says for public safety reasons, demolition needed to begin right away.

He says it's something that likely should've happened years ago, but history is an important part of this city.

Chief Davis said, "There's a lot of sentiment towards preserving the nature of these buildings."

Throughout the day hundreds of people stopped by the area to reminisce and take pictures.

Diana Hampo takes a trip down memory lane with her son.

While watching the demolition, she tells him about the golden days of the Majestic Hotel.

She said, "We were looking at the Grady Grill sign. That was the restaurant there and 20 years ago my husband and I had our first date there."

Just one of many memories reflected upon as a part of history disappears into the dust and debris.

Home Show brings Topekans out before winter storm - March 3, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Call it luck or excellent marketing strategy, but having hot tubs for sale near the entrance of the Kansas Expocentre certainly had a draw Saturday.

DeVaders Pool and Spas, 841 S.W. Fairlawn, had hot tubs on display for the Topeka Home Show, attracting both the interested and hopeful masses venturing inside the Expocentre from the 5-degree weather. Salesman Ed Lenherr said he had seen at least 400 people walk past, many ogling some warming hands against the bubbling water.

Everyone wants a hot tub, he said. Theyre fun, therapeutic, relaxing. Its one of those things youve got to talk yourself into getting.

Topeka couple Bob and Tami McManes idled near one of the tubs. The couple will close on a home Monday, so the timing for the home show couldnt have been much better. The two are moving into a duplex in a maintenance-provided neighborhood, meaning they likely have more stringent rules with what they can put outside.

If I thought I could put one on our back deck, I would, Tami McManes, 55, said of a hot tub. When you get old like us, the idea of a spray of water massaging your back is appealing.

Other weather-related attractions heaters, fireplaces and insulation.

Weve always had someone here, said Tim Mulroy, president of Black Gold Inc., 2404 N.E. Grantville Road. Everybody is ready for spring.

The Topeka Home show runs Friday through Sunday, featuring more than 120 local, state and national vendors.

Despite the forecast of at least 6 inches of snow Sunday, the show will go on, said John Fiedler, sales manager for Custom Wood Products Inc. and one of the events organizers.

If you missed today, call up the street crews and tell them to plow your street so you can get out here, Fiedler said.

Mesa shopping center home to temporary public art exhibit - March 3, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Visitors to Dana Park in Mesa will see something a little different in the coming months due to the installation of two art pieces in the shopping center at the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Val Vista Drive.

The art featured is a series of murals including a bobcat and roadrunner as well as installations suspended from the complexs ceiling. Both were either painted or installed by Valley-based artists: Isaac Caruso did the murals and Muharrem Yildirim and Matthew Briggs did the installations.

Its something thats unexpected and refreshing, Caruso said.

The installation is part of a series organized through the IN FLUX initiative, which brings temporary art exhibits like those in Dana Park to local communities in different cycles. The cycles bring different installations to different communities. The Dana Park project is part of the fourth cycle, and IN FLUX will begin its fifth cycle in the coming months.

IN FLUX has partnered with organizations representing municipalities like Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert, although project manager Kirstin Van Cleef said this is the first time IN FLUX has coordinated with a non-government group to set up an exhibit.

The IN FLUX concept is near and dear to Van Cleefs heart, and she said a couple of the projects goals of the project are to support local artists and provide a direct connection between art and the community.

Public art is oddly invisible to the average citizen, she said.

In Carusos case, accomplishing the mission entailed linking Dana Park to the nearby desert environment. That wasnt too difficult for the Phoenix native, whose murals bring in some of the desert environment not far from the shopping plaza.

It definitely ties it in a little bit for the area, said Pita Jungle manager Matt Jenkins.

The exhibition also fits squarely into what Pita Jungle does on a frequent basis. Jenkins said the restaurant has a rotating art gallery it switches out every six months, which makes the IN FLUX project very in-line with our concepts.
