Lake Elsinore seeks more food, entertainment options to draw visitors downtown
By Shane Newell | [email protected] | The Press-EnterprisePUBLISHED: September 25, 2018 at 6:04 am | UPDATED: September 25, 2018 at 9:08 am In the next few years, downtown Lake Elsinore could transform into a popular destination, offering visitors a hub for outdoor dining, entertainment and art. There might be a realigned Main Street closer to the lake, a walk-able plaza free of cars and businesses such as comedy clubs, theaters or piano bars open until 2 a.m. That’s the vision of city officials trying to make downtown more active. They’ve created a new downtown plan that could replace the current one, which the city has described as “confusing.” If approved, the new plan could help reduce costs and streamline the process for those hoping to invest downtown. “It’s time for us to re-invest again and bring new changes to downtown Lake Elsinore,” said Nicole Dailey, assistant to the city manager.

For $7.5M, you get room to entertain 350 in Bloomfield Twp.
Judy Rose Special to the Detroit Free Press Published 7:13 AM EDT Sep 22, 2018 This lavish mansion on 11½ acres is a showcase of luxury embellishments — ornate coffered ceilings, lavish plaster work and opulent spans of mahogany trim. Its breakfast room rises to second-story windows. Its theater feels like a small cathedral. It was the passion project of one of southeast Michigan’s large luxury home builders, especially the wife in the couple. The home’s second owner, a friend of the first, says she even clashed with the architect, Dominick Tringali, known for flashy, ornate work, to make things better, more special. For example, she did not want today’s staple, a showy staircase when you enter the foyer. Instead she wanted to show hospitality by making the first view the elegant dining room. She didn’t want the back entry to be downgraded as a service entrance, the second owner said. “She said ‘That’s where I enter the … [Read more...] about For $7.5M, you get room to entertain 350 in Bloomfield Twp.
Film review: Comic whodunnit A Simple Favour is sinfully entertaining
A SINGLE mother and food blogger turns amateur sleuth to unravel the mystery of her best friend's disappearance in the sinfully entertaining comedy thriller, A Simple Favour. Paul Feig, director of Bridesmaids, The Heat and Spy, blends a fruity cocktail of Hitchcockian whodunnit and gnarly black comedy, garnished with generous twists of spite and betrayal. Think Gone Girl with killer one-liners and perfectly shaken martinis and you'll be close to the lip-smacking delights of a battle of the sexes in small town suburbia, adapted for the screen by Jessica Sharzer from Darcey Bell's novel. Pitch Perfect powerhouse Anna Kendrick captures the tics and tenacity of her socially awkward homebody, whose well-ordered routine is thrown into disarray when the most glamorous woman in town vanishes without trace. She contrasts sharply with Blake Lively's lost matriarch, who makes her entrance in lustrous slow motion, strutting elegantly beneath an umbrella during a torrential downpour dressed in a … [Read more...] about Film review: Comic whodunnit A Simple Favour is sinfully entertaining
