With their gabled roofs, eggshell-blue shingled faades, and porches perfect for sipping Sarsaparilla, the trio of 1890s houses behind the governor's mansion in Cheyenne, Wyoming would seem to be just the sort of historic homes that the city would want to preserve. Yet for five years, their owners have been trying to give the charming fixer-uppers away for free, even offering to pay buyers $10K for the privilege.

But this is not the deal of the century. The lucky person who nabs these homes will have to move them off of the land where they currently stand, at an estimated cost of $200K, according to the New York Times. After Cheyenne's historic preservation board stepped in, the land owners were denied the demolition permit they sought, so a freebie seemed like the next best option. So far, they have shown nearly 100 people around the three painted homes, which are run-down but rich in period detail, but no one has jumped at the unusual offer. The NYT story has photos, and Google Maps has directions to Cheyenne.

Officials evacuate residents of a mobile home park in Hebron.]

HEBRON, Ohio They know all about flooding in the low-lying parts of this Licking County village.

Theyve peered out their windows and watched picnic tables float by. Theyve stood on their porches and gawked at waves licking the front steps. Theyve swapped rumors about just how bad it would get if the dam at Buckeye Lake, just a couple of miles away, failed.

But now that engineers say that last point is a significant worry, using scary words such as catastrophic failure, Hebron residents arent just talking about it.

We are concerned, said Clifford Mason, mayor of the 2,300-resident village. I think its important for someone from the village to be at the table.

Hebrons leaders didnt know about the alarming Army Corps of Engineers report concerning the earthen dams viability until news reports on Wednesday. Mason hopes to change that.

On Wednesday night, the village council agreed to send the state a letter outlining its concerns about Buckeye Lakes future. The council also asked that a Hebron representative, in this case Mason, be included in future discussions.

Though the village is up the road from the lake, across I-70, estimates still show that if the dam were to give way, water from the 3,000-acre lake would flood the homes of at least 3,000 people. That includes parts of Hebron, which could be flooded within two hours. That likely would inundate the villages water-treatment plant and areas that lie near the South Fork of the Licking River.

GARDNER Firefighters from Gardner and three neighboring towns fought a two-alarm blaze in a vacant building into the wee hours of the morning Wednesday.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters were dispatched to a building fire at 163-165 Pine St., according to Fire Lt. Craig Osowski.

"Upon arrival, we found fire showing out of the basement in the rear of the building, extending all three floors on the porches," Lt. Osowski said. "All the fire was contained to the basement and the rear porches. The rest of the building received smoke damage."

A second alarm was immediately struck, bringing in mutual aid from Westminster, Winchendon and Hubbardston, Lt. Osowski said.

Because of the lay of the land, Lt. Osowski said, the residential building is two stories in the front and four in the back.

Lt. Osowski said firefighters had to deal with a steep hill to get to the back, as well as 3 feet of snow, to gain access. The last firetruck left the site at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Lt. Osowski said the fire is under investigation; firefighters do not believe the fire was caused intentionally. There were no injuries, he said.

Patrols have been stepped up after sneak thieves targeted homes on a Stockport street searching for unlocked doors.

The burglaries happened on Hillcrest Road, Offerton, between Sunday (February 28) at 9.30pm and 12.30pm the following day.

Residents woke on Monday to discover their homes had fallen victim.

One had a coat and clothes worth a total of 600 taken, another had boots valued at 150, pet accessories and 2 in cash stolen.

At least two other homes or sheds were targeted but the thieves were unable to find anything to steal.

Inspector Steve Gilbertson, from Stockport police, said officers had been giving the area extra attention.

He added: "People can leave things in the porch that individually may not be worth that much but can soon add up.

"We have four victims of crime on the same street so we want to raise awareness that there are people who will take a chance and be opportunistic, taking what they can."

Another warning has been issued after two houses on Broadway, in Bramhall, were also targeted.

A thief sneaked into a home on Wednesday (February 25) at 11.15am and took the keys to a blue Ford Sirocco before escaping in it.

When the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport closed 16 years ago, leaving open 700 acres of real estate close to the Austin city center, developers saw the perfect for a planned community. In 2007, construction began on the Mueller Community, which many now hold as a model of modern master-planning in the new urbanism vein; transit-oriented yet focused on the needs of pedestrians. A recent installment in NPR's cities project highlights what else Mueller may be getting right.

Greg Weaver, Mueller project manager with Catellus Development, spoke with NPR about the theories behind the community. Instead of taking the shape of an expansive grid, Mueller is purposefully dense, with small yards and large front porches. Garages are at the back of houses, which further downplays the primacy of cars. But Weaver insists Mueller isn't too utopic:

"I mean, the whole idea of porches is a bit of a cliche, but it works," Adams continues, speaking from the back deck of his home in Mueller. "People are on their porches, people know their neighbors. It's a very convivial place."

A research team at Texas A&M University polled Mueller residents and proved Weaver's vision might really be working: residents spend an average of 90 fewer minutes a week in their cars, and report increased levels of physical activity, decreased use of electricity, and even more friends.
