The Mafia Chronicles: Hot Springs Hotel Favored By Mobsters Faces Closure


One of the important hotels in American Mafia history could be shut down, at least temporarily.
Not the Riviera in Las Vegas, or any of the other notorious, mobbed-up hotels on the legendary Strip: the Stardust, the Sands, the Desert Inn, the Dunes.
Those classic Old Vegas joints are already gone forever.
This one is the Arlington Hotel and Spa in Hot Springs, Arkansas, which recently received an enforcement letter from the city, threatening to close the hotel after an engineering report asserted that the massive, 93-year-old structure is unsafe.
The Art of the Brick Exhibit By Artist Nathan Sawaya (NewzBreaker Review)


The Beauty of A (Lego) Brick
“The first rule of this exhibit…no video or photographs. Put your phones and cameras away please. Thank you and have a great visit!” As we heard this upon entering, there were frustrated moans and then silence as Ivan, the docent, quickly informed us he was just joking!
We stood in a long line that wrapped around the building and into the vacant space of a highway overpass for about 45 minutes to see this amazing spectacle called the “Art of the Brick” in beautiful downtown Tampa. My plan was to take as many damn pictures as possible to prove it was worth the wait! It is a huge collection of original and already famous paintings and sculptures, redone ENTIRELY in Lego Bricks! But wait there’s more…thanks to the Vinik Family Foundation, this event was FREE! The only rule is DO NOT TOUCH THE LEGOS. Sadly, Ivan was still getting paid for his horrible joke.

Tati’s World: People With Pets!


By Tatiauna Miller
I don’t know who is worse; dog people, cat people or people with kids.
Actually animal people and kid people are probably both equally annoying, but we will discuss animal people today.
People that regularly dress their pets, please stop! Your dog is happy being himself. He doesn’t need to coordinate with you or dress like a French maid from a 1970’s porn. Some of the people dressing their pets can barely dress themselves, isn’t dressing one person enough stress? Why must you add an unwilling animal to the equation? Have you tried putting a dog in a onesie? It’s about 4 times worse than putting an angry baby in a onesie, 1 degree away from impossible.

The Mafia Chronicles: Mob Reporter Ned Day, A Las Vegas Legend


As George Knapp remembers it, when things started going sour for the mob in Las Vegas decades ago, no one was immune from threats.
Not law enforcement officials, not state regulators, not even news reporters.
No one.
“For the most part, the mobsters we used to chase around understood it was our job to cover their lives,” said Knapp, a veteran investigative reporter for the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, KLAS-TV Channel 8. “They didn’t seem to take offense, but there were some exceptions.”
The Sinatra File: This Week with Frank, #1


A new feature of this column will feature relatively brief stabs at Sinatra history as we connect present time dates with corresponding timely historical moments in his career. For “This Week with Frank,” we travel to Upstate New York…
August 1978. Sinatra was debuting with his orchestra at the Grandstand Stage of the New York State Fair in Syracuse, New York. Concerts at the State Fair were debuted in 1976, and during the Fair’s third season, Sinatra would appear in a memorable concert date. Although he would never play the fair again, the Grandstand Stage would host the cream of the crop across the American music industry, becoming the stuff of legend before the Grandstand performances were discontinued in 2015 when the event moved to a new venue during fair time.

Trina From St. Olaf, Nice To Meet You!
The craziness of Rose Nylund has actually begun to make sense and we would be Besties for life living in this country right now. Rose is a character from the old tv show Golden Girls and she was always a little off and sincerely nostalgic about the strange, but wonderful town she’s from, St. Olaf. Life was simple and there were still good hardworking people there like “The Amazing Shapiro” who is an OB/MAG, an obstetrician magician. They had the strangest happiest holidays like Day of the Princess Pig and the Day of Wheat when everyone dresses up as sandwiches. Apparently, if you forgot to put “a piece of cheese” between you and your mate you end up pregnant! Rose even fell in love and married Charlie, an insurance salesman that believed a trip to the bank was always more fun if you wear a ski mask.
