The Blackguards of Charlatan” is a faced-paced crime story pitting one man against the corruption of a decaying city

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
November 25, 2020

D. Joseph Ziders, a resident of Buffalo, New York who graduated from SUNY Cortland in 2007 with a degree in Geographical Information Systems, has published his new book “Jeremiah Revel: The Blackguards of Charlatan”: an action-packed and compelling literary debut.

Jeremiah Revel wanted to be just like his father—a proud member of the City Police Force. However, the corruption and deceit that infected the decaying city is too much for an honest man to take. He is forced to return his badge and make a living as a private investigator. However, he and his misfit group of friends take on a case that will uncloak the dangerous mysteries surrounding the criminal underworld known as the Harvest Union.

Being a man full of so much love and so much anger, Jeremiah Revel struggles to understand whether he is the hero, or slowly

Amazon delivery tax? Ground shipping fees proposed in City Council

Chicagoans who have flooded Amazon and other online retailers with orders during the pandemic to avoid in-person shopping trips would pay for the privilege of that convenience under a “ground delivery tax” proposed Monday.

Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson (11th), grandson and nephew of Chicago’s two longest-serving mayors, wants to impose a $1.25 tax on packages with a “cumulative weight of 50 lbs. or less” and $2.50 for packages tipping the scales at more than 50 lbs.

Packages contained “prepared food for immediate human consumption” would be exempt. So would packages containing “solely prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs and medical appliances including, but not limited to tampons and sanitary napkins, insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.”

To avoid a collections nightmare, the ordinance states: “It shall be the duty of each seller of tangible personal property sold at retail and delivered to a location within the city

Fort Myers officials want to study whether City of Palm Parks could be turned into an amateur multi-sports complex.

Lee County, which owns the the former spring training home of the Boston Red Sox, is set to demolish the 27-year-old park before turning over the land to the city.

The land is part of the city’s redevelopment efforts in Midtown, a 240-acre area bounded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the north, Edison Avenue to the south, Cleveland Avenue to the west and Evans Avenue to the east.

City departments were instructed to grant permission for remote work to employees who can perform their job remotely, city officials said, and the city will continue sanitation and social distancing measures at all work spaces.

Earlier this week, Public Health announced a stay-at-home advisory asking Dayton and Montgomery County residents to stay at home as much as possible to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The advisory, which is not an order and will not be enforced, started Thursday and continues through Dec. 17.

The advisory overlaps with a 21-day statewide curfew issued by Gov. Mike DeWine. Starting Thursday, Ohioans should stay home from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.

Salt Lake City prepares for major reconstruction on section of 300 West

SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City is almost ready to break ground on a major reconstruction of 300 West, between 900 South and 2100 South, that will make the corridor more friendly to bikes and pedestrians while adding some green space to the route.

The reconstruction will include replacing pavement and adding new sections of sidewalk, as well as bike lanes, crosswalks and park strips to separate bikes and pedestrians from vehicle traffic.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in the spring or summer of 2021 and last through 2023.

Will Becker, a transportation planner with Salt Lake City, said the section of road is “in major need of replacing.”

The project will be primarily financed through the 2018 voter-approved Funding Our Future bond, which is being used for critical needs throughout the city. When planning Funding Our Future-financed projects, Becker said, “We’re really looking to not just put

Job diary: I’m a high-end real estate agent in Park City, Utah

Liza Story is a 36-year-old realtor in Park City, Utah — a 40-minute drive from Salt Lake City — where the real estate market is hot.
During the pandemic, she’s noticed a barrage of buyers fleeing California to escape wildfires and city lockdowns; people who can now do their jobs from anywhere want to live in the mountains.
Park City is an easy sell, given its beautiful location, small-town vibe, and luxury ski resort amenities.
She’s sold six homes in the last six weeks, ranging from $450,000 to $1.7 million in price, and says that construction in the area can’t keep up with the demand.
This is what her job is like, as told to freelance writer Amber Gibson.
