Being as I'm in the computer lab I've had to control my emotions. The Lincoln American Tower is one of the most beautiful buildings in Downtown, and renovation on it, as well as the other three, into a mixed-use center was set to start at the beginning of October. I wanted to live in one of those new apartments someday. The funding for the project took years to come through, and the director of the CCC said it would be a major project that could act as a catalyst for redevelopment of that section of Main Street. You must let me know if you anything about what the developers plan to do now after the fire.<BR/><BR/>Natalie: I will be in Germany until the beginning of August. You will arrive when I have a little more than a month left of my first semester. You will have to come visit me, and meet the Angers' girls. They'll be going back after the first semester, so you could already know some people there.Nick O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05302680637268168032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32437289.post-1160135146638462482006-10-06T13:45:00.000+02:002006-10-06T13:45:00.000+02:00Correction to comment above - it is the Lincoln Am...Correction to comment above - it is the Lincoln American Bldg (not Lincoln Atlantic).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32437289.post-1160134751031372242006-10-06T13:39:00.000+02:002006-10-06T13:39:00.000+02:00Thought I would share some sad sad news that is ha...Thought I would share some sad sad news that is happening this morning back home in Memphis. We are having buildings on fire downtown.....this started at the beautiful First Church on Poplar (First United Methodist Church). This started at around 3 or 4 am. Sparks have now ignited 3 other buildings - the Lowenstein Bldg, The Lincoln Atlantic and 100 Court Annex Bldg (Rhodes-Jennings). They interviewed the owner of the Lincoln Atlantic who was in the middle of renovations. The First Church fire has been put out but we are watching the Lincoln Atlantic Bldg still burning - the tower is too tall for any of the water cranes and is quickly approaching the coppola. <BR/><BR/>Now they are investigating a building on Nov.6 St saying that ambers have caught it on fire. No body has been hurt but so sad to see the skyline of Memphis a blaze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32437289.post-1160098090080134072006-10-06T03:28:00.000+02:002006-10-06T03:28:00.000+02:00Well it is good you are busy with other things - I...Well it is good you are busy with other things - I am glad you are busy!

It's an hour and a half train ride SW of Paris in the Loire Valley - "the garden of France," home of the famous castles and wine vinyards, and is known as the area where the spoken french language is the purest in all of France. My internet search for photos party sold me as well... So, our goal was language immersion and beauty!<BR/>I just go the dates for the program and we'll be there from January 13 - May 30. <BR/>Nick- when do you get home?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32437289.post-1160067362200133662006-10-05T18:56:00.000+02:002006-10-05T18:56:00.000+02:00Natalie: I forgot to write what one guy said when ...Natalie: I forgot to write what one guy said when he found out I was from Memphis. He said, "You can't just say 'I'm from Memphis,' you have to sing it."<BR/><BR/>MC: Creating a post with pictures takes a little more time for the uploads than a normal post, and I've been fairly busy with other things.
