HUNTINGTON A fire destroyed a three-story apartment building early Friday, damaged another next door and closed a major thoroughfare into downtown Huntington.

Its flames and a partial collapse left five people looking for a new home, while a first-floor alterations company salvaged the inventory it could and pulled files as customers wondered about dresses inside the collapse zone.

Dispatchers learned of the fire at 3:44 a.m., but the call came too late for firefighters tasked with saving a building located just seconds from the city's main fire station.

3. Kai | Maybe you’ll see wild horses galloping across the plain as you take in the breathtaking desert scenery. But the fare is also breathtaking, like the escargots with wild mushrooms and caramel goat cheese, grilled buffalo tenderloin with saguaro blossom syrup and killer Mexican chocolate souffle. Details: Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa, 5594 W. Wild Horse Pass Blvd., Gila River Indian Reservation. 602-225-0100, wildhorsepassresort.com.(Photo: Joel Grimes)

Eating al fresco just seems to make everything taste better. Whatever the reason cozy charm, spectacular views, the balmy air we instinctively realize that a good meal under the desert sky delivers life-is-good pleasure.

10. Orange Sky

From the skyscraping rooftop patio, you'll gape at the magnificent Valley view, with the McDowells rising in the East and Camelback Mountain framed against an orange sky to the West. Then turn your eyes to the handsome surf-and-turf fare, like lobster risotto, New York strip steak, braised pork shank and butter-poached king crab legs.

9. Distrito

Overlooking the grassy expanse at the Civic Center Mall, this patio makes for great people-watching. However, dishes like grilled octopus with caper barnaise, queso fundido fashioned with duck barbacoa, coconut habanero chicken enchiladas and lamb chops accessorized with potatoes and chorizo keep you focused on your plate.

It doesn't get much nicer than being in the middle of the Desert Botanical Garden. But the smoked pork gumbo, bison tenderloin and venison bangers and mash take your mind off the captivating scenery. Linger over the pia colada cheesecake.

Sothebys International Realty agent Susan Wright recalls that when she and husband Bob, then of Southport, Conn., were shopping for a Palm Beach home in 2005, they knew exactly what they wanted.

We were looking for charm, Susan says. We wanted an apartment in a smaller building with cozy comfortable rooms and a nice outdoor space, and after a long time of looking, we found this. The first time I saw it, I said, This is it.

The it in question turned out to be Suite A at Casa Villagio, a historic four-unit condominium building at 342 Cocoanut Row in the lake block near the corner of Australian Avenue.

At that point, the Wrights werent living on the island full time, but now that they are, they need a little bit more space, Susan says.

If we werent here full time, we wouldnt think at all about selling, she explains.

As owner-agent, she is offering the apartment for sale at $2.15 million. It comprises a living area of 1,730 square feet, plus two patios, which add another 736 square feet.

Casa Villagio is a Mediterranean-style complex built in 1924 and renovated by its previous owners. The Wrights own one of the first-floor apartments, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The unit also has covered parking for one car.

Susan completely remodeled the master bathroom, but other than that, she made only a few changes, including the removal of built-in bookcases, and the addition of freestanding cabinets in the living room and the library.

The apartment looks quite different because of the way its furnished, she recalls, but the gigantic whirlpool tub in the master bathroom felt like you needed a ladder to get in and out of. I never used it.

She replaced the tub with an expansive shower, and she also did away with the bathrooms false ceiling, which is now on a par with other 10-foot ceilings in the unit.

On Good Friday, the pulpit at St. Peters Episcopal Church will feature meditations on the seven last words of Jesus by five lay and ordained ministers.

The Rev. Rodney S. Sadler of Union Presbyterian Seminary and Sardis Baptist Church, St. Peters member Elizabeth Richardson and the Revs. Joslyn Ogden Schaefer, L. Murdock Smith, and Ollie V. Rencher will preach during the three-hour service on April 3. St. Peters, established in 1834, is located at 115 W. Seventh St. at in Center City.

Officiated by the Rev. Jonathan E. Soyars, the 12- 3 p.m. Good Friday service will include chanting of the Passion narrative, intentional silence, exceptional music for choir and organ, hymns, and the solemn act of venerating the cross.

This dramatic service reflects one of many ways for our parish church to boldly proclaim the spectacular story about the unconditional love, justice, and reconciling power of Jesus, said Father Ollie Rencher, Rector of St. Peters. It will be a gift to hear brief sermons about the Crucifixion from a variety of voices before we celebrate the Resurrection on Easter Day.

The Good Friday service is a core aspect of Christians observance of Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday on March 29. Palm Sunday services typically include the Procession of Palms and reading of the Passion Gospel. St. Peters will offer several services between Holy Week and Eastertide.

Less than an hours drive from Boston, this updated contemporary colonial in Medway looks unusual at first, with an attached, two-car garage that juts out of the front, but the inside is well lit and spacious with hardwood floors, four bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms.

Its a bright, welcoming home with a floor plan that is wonderful for entertaining, as well as for raising children, said broker Paul Yorkis of Patriot Real Estate in Medway.

Built in 1988 on 1.11 fenced-in acres on a quiet suburban street, the first floor includes a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, and a remodeled kitchen with an informal dining area. There is plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen, along with granite countertops, an island, a pantry, a five-burner Bosch stove and a hood, and stainless steel appliances, including a microwave, a combination oven-confection oven, and a Bosch refrigerator.

A laundry area is off the kitchen, which leads to a large family room with a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, skylights, a wood-burning fireplace and access to the garage. A slate patio with a fire pit can be accessed from both the family room and the kitchen. Off the family room, is a half bath and a hallway with ample closet space.

Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms has recessed lighting, a ceiling fan and closet space. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a full bath with a jacuzzi/soaking tub and a shower. A second full bath upstairs has a tub and shower and a double vanity with a granite top. In the hallway is a linen closet.

The finished basement is carpeted and has a half bath and two rooms, one of which has a door to the yard. There are also two mechanical rooms in the basement.

The house has central air conditioning and four heating zones: three oil and one electric.
