Where are the best patios, sidewalk cafes in Beachwood, the Heights?

Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) July 03, 2014

Spring is the perfect time to thoroughly clean concrete driveways, walkways or patios to get rid of wintertime dirt and grime and get ready for heavy use in Summer. Renew Crew of Little Rock is now offering homeowners no cost estimates on its concrete cleaning services. To take advantage of the no-cost estimation service, homeowners should visit the Renew Crew of Little Rock website and reference the offer when scheduling.

Many homeowners mistakenly believe that concrete requires zero maintenance. Although concrete undoubtedly qualifies as low-maintenance, concrete does need periodic cleaning. This is particularly true of decorative or stamped concrete which has a functional as well as aesthetic role. After cleaning, any cracks in the concrete should be repaired and a concrete sealant should be applied. It is recommended to clean outside concrete at least once per year to get rid of everyday grime and dirt build up and to eliminate rust or other stains. Fixing cracks is very important to minimize water intrusion by way of the cracks thereby preserving a surface which is structurally sound. A high quality concrete sealant will reduce surface abrasion, repel water and prevent future dirt, grease or fertilizers from penetrating. Renew Crew of Little Rock has a proprietary 3-step procedure that first loosens dirt from inside the concrete, rinses it away and protects the concrete against the elements. Renew Crew of Little Rock regularly achieves outstanding results on the dirtiest of outdoor surfaces. Before and after images of for patios, walkways and driveways are published on the website.

The cost of each concrete cleaning project will be based on the area of the patio, driveway or walkway to be cleaned. Property owners might also wish to have their fences, decks or siding cleaned on the same day. When scheduling an appointment for the concrete cleaning estimate, homeowners should notify the estimator about additional outdoor cleaning projects.

About Renew Crew of Little Rock Established in 2008, Wood Re New successfully grew their business and customer base leading to an introduction of expanded services with a new name - Renew Crew of Springfield. Renew Crew of Springfield has a specially formulated three step process to clean outside surfaces safely while keeping landscaping in tact.

In a patio in Calle San Basilio, a theatre show explains this tradition to visitors. :: SUR

A trip through time to discover the origins of the patios of Cordoba. The weather may be becoming hotter in the city of the caliphs but it is a pleasure to spend an interesting and agreeable evening among the geraniums and carnations, and the freshness of the water that flows in the fountains creates an ideal microclimate. The fragrance of jasmine and dama de noche is a constant companion during an evening that is hosted in one of the patios by four friendly personalities, who take visitors on a journey through time to learn in depth about the origins and development of these special places. The patios are at the heart of an unusual festival each year, the Patios of Cordoba, which was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage Site by Unesco in late 2012.

It is at Calle San Basilio number 22 that the theatrical tour led by Fuensanta, Remedios, Manolo and Prudencio takes place. Four characters who are trapped in a time tunnel and with whom we can explore the history of the patios of Cordoba. This initiative has been organised by the Montur agency, which specialises in creative tourism.

The show is performed in Spanish and the visit ends with a complimentary glass of wine from the local Montilla-Moriles region. The shows take place every day from Wednesday to Saturday, but there is only one performance per day, at 9.30pm.

This is a way of bringing the culture and history of the Patios of Cordoba closer to people in an informative and entertaining way. At the same time, it means that we are offering new services for tourism which generate business in the historic city centre and also increase the number of overnight stays in the city, explains the manager of Montur, Jos Luis Baos.

The heart of the city

The patio in question, at number 22 in Calle San Basilio, is right in the heart of Cordoba city. The most characteristic district is that of Alczar Viejo, between the Alczar and the San Basilio church, although patios are also to be found in the Santa Marina district, around San Lorenzo and La Magdalena. In the area around the Mosque-Cathedral, the Jewish quarter also has some fine examples which are very beautiful and very old, but perhaps the loveliest is the Palacio de Viana, where there are 12 different patios.

It is during the month of May every year that the Patios of Cordoba festival takes place. The festival and its famous competition have been held since 1921. The owners and residents of the houses around the patios go to great pains to decorate their properties and win the prestigious prize which is awarded by the local Town Hall. At the same time, there is also a folklore festival, with the participation of some of the best singers and dancers of the region.

There are two different types of patio: one type belongs to an individual house where the rooms are distributed around it. The other type is shared, and is known as a casa de vecinos. These are not found as frequently these days, but the residents all access their respective homes through the patios.

Fans of al fresco meals now have more local dining options, with the June opening of two casual restaurants touting their outdoor seating.

The second location of The Rusty Rudder, a Cornelius, N.C. lakeside joint, is now operating in the former 17 North. According to the Mt. Pleasant restaurant's Facebook page, "The Rudder focuses on farm-fresh ingredients and menu items from the Lowcountry," but the original Rudder is better known for cheap beer, fried food, live music and corn hole tournaments. In addition to burgers, the Rusty Rudder's menu features steaks; oyster pot pie; stuffed flounder; fish tacos and po'-boys.

Renovations at the Rusty Rudder 3563 N. Hwy 17, included remaking the back patio with tables, sofa seating and a detached bar.

At the new Sunsets Bar and Grill, the patio is situated along the Ashley River. Still, chef-manager April Turner says, "the location is far from ideal."

Alluding to the failure of Crawdaddies Restaurant and Lighthouse Waterfront Pavilion, she adds, "We knew it would be a challenge, but we also know that this is a place that could really succeed with the right menu and great customer service."

Sunsets' menu centers on an assortment of sandwiches, salads and appetizers such as wings, quesadillas and peel-and-eat shrimp. The vibe is far from fancy: The only wine available is Copa di Vino, which comes prepackaged in a plastic glass. The canned beer choices are Busch and Miller Light.

"We have happy hour pricing all day, and our vision is to be a great place for the local businesses to come for lunch, and (to offer) a family-friendly environment for the boating community," Turner says, adding that the restaurant has 18 free slips for boaters.

"On a personal note, I think we have the best Shrimp and Grits in Charleston," she continues. "But I bet they all say that."

Rusty Rudder is located at 3563 N. Hwy 17. For more information, call 388-3177 or visit facebook.com/rustyruddermtp.
