Great Outdoors
While they say it’s what’s on the inside that counts, at Hansons Oasis, the grounds were designed with the same level of magnificence and attention to detail.

The two-story fort and zip line keep those young at heart entertained for hours, which allows you to accommodate others at the outside kitchen and grill. A covered patio with ceiling fans helps regulate the temperature on a warm summer day and water features provide the perfect calming atmosphere. Various fire features, ideal for cooler evenings, set the mood and create ambiance from all directions. The terraced design allows guests to play sports on the grassy areas without disturbing those on the expansive patio above. This is truly outdoor living at its finest.

Gordy Bunch on Port of Beaumont Importance & his Military/Business Experience - TX SD 4
This past Saturday I met up with Gordy Bunch at the Port of Beaumont, Texas. Mr. Bunch is running for Texas State Senate District 4. This will be a special election on Saturday, May 10th, 2014, due to the current State Senator, Tommy Williams, having stepped down. Texas State Senate District 4 goes from Montgomery County, Conroe & The Woodlands, all the way over to Jefferson County, Beaumont & Port Arthur.
In the video interview above, you can hear Gordy Bunch discuss the Importance of the Port of Beaumont, TX. The Port of Beaumont is on the west side of the Texas State Senate District 4. This port is extremely important to the United States and even the world. Beaumont/Port Arthur is the 4th Largest port in the United States of America. The Port of Beaumont is the largest port in the world for the United States Military. The Keystone Pipeline will be ending here and that will greatly increase the oil and gas moving in and out of the Port. The Port of Beaumont even helps feed parts of the world due to the massive amount of grain exports.
Gordy Bunch served in the United States Coast Guard and his job was to protect ports. In the interview, Mr. Bunch discusses the importance of knowing how to protect the Port of Beaumont.
Mr. Bunch is also a very successful businessman. Thirteen years ago he started a company with $10,000. It is now a Billion dollar company with thousands of employees. Mr. Bunch talks about the importance of knowing how to create jobs and cut regulations that prevent jobs from being created today. This is especially important in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area where unemployment is high, but the potential for great economic development is there due to the expanding port and the Keystone Pipeline.
Mr. Bunch also addresses Veteran issues in the interview. When he got off of active duty, he experienced what he calls Hero to Zero. Soldiers get are trained to do an important job in the military, but when they get out they are not able to transition into a civilian job.
Mr. Bunch also finds it hard to believe that Texas has in state tuition for illegal immigrants but not for military active duty members and their families while they are stationed in Texas.
Mr. Bunch talked about his campaign slogan, Our Greatest Generation Should Always be in our Future. He wants to work to create an environment so that the greatest Generations are still to come.

Suburban Scenic Traction Elevators - Embassy Suites by Hilton in Chicago, IL
Not to be confused with the Embassy Suites Mag Mile on Columbus Drive. These used to be Dovers with Traditional Fixtures, now it's modded by Kone with Generic Fixtures I think. These elevators require a keycard to access the guest floors and it utilizes the mag-stripe reader. In the first part of the video, you'll see a couple guests struggling to go to their floors because of the crappy card reader. I had to cut a small part in the middle of the video because: 1. I talked in response to the gentleman asking me what am I doing here. Before that, you'll hear him ask me if I'm staying at this hotel. He's another guest, not an employee by the way. 2. I accidentally got a lady's face on camera (also a guest). This video will feature a ride in all four cabs, but not a full round trip in all of them, by request from Endor1024
What did I think of this? The overall cab design and button panels are great. However, the operation can be a little better. In one cab, the ride was pretty bumpy while the others run pretty good. Another suggestion is to make the card readers RFID just like all the other hotels I've seen so it's easier for guests to access their floors.
Got a request for an elevator/train ride in the Chicagoland area?

Tri-County Mall - Raw & Real Retail
This is our walkthrough of the Tri-County Mall in Springdale, OH from May 25, 2019. This is a dying mall in an overmalled area of greater Cincinnati. It seems as if multiple ownership changes and poor decisions later in its life has helped push this mall along its death spiral a bit faster than some others. It seems like everyone just up and split real quick rather than a long dying period. Rather unfortunate, it is a beautiful property and was a delight to walk around.

Here is a portion of an unusually well written wikipedia article:
Tri-County Mall is a shopping mall located on State Route 747 (Princeton Pike) just south of Interstate 275 in the city of Springdale, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Originally known as Tri-County Shopping Center, it opened in 1960 and has been expanded several times in its history. The original shopping center was an open-air property featuring H. & S. Pogue Company (Pogue's) and John Shillito Company (Shillito's) as the anchor stores.
Joseph Meyerhoff, a businessman who had developed several shopping and residential properties in Baltimore, Maryland, announced plans for the Tri-County Center in 1959. The plans called for a shopping center with two Cincinnati-based department stores as the anchor stores: Shillito's and Pogue's, positioned at the north and south ends respectively of an open-air mall concourse. Other tenants announced for the center included an S. S. Kresge Corporation dime store, a Kroger supermarket, and Gray Drug. The mall officially opened to the public on September 26, 1960.
Sears opened as the mall's third anchor store in May 1967, and was connected to the rest of the mall by a new wing of stores. Unlike the rest of the mall at the time, the expansion wing was enclosed, featuring palm trees, tropical plants, and fountains, along with antique lights and skylights. In early 1968, the rest of the formerly open-air mall was enclosed as well, featuring décor similar to the 1967 expansion.
Monumental Properties, the name which Meyerhoff's real estate division had assumed in 1970, sold the mall to Equitable Life Insurance (now AXA Equitable Holdings) for $34 million in 1979.
Federated Department Stores (now Macy's, Inc.) merged the John Shillito Company and the Rike Kumler Co. (Rike's) under the singular name Shillito-Rike's in 1982. Four years later, all of the Shillito-Rike's stores were further consolidated under the Lazarus name. Another anchor change ensued in 1984 when Pogue's parent company, Associated Dry Goods, merged the chain with L. S. Ayres of Indianapolis. A food court opened off the main entrance in 1985, with nine restaurants.
The mall underwent an expansion in 1990, which doubled the number of shops by adding a second level atop the existing portion of the mall. Also, a fountain was added to center court, and the food court was relocated to a larger location on the newly-built upper level by Sears. The final part of the expansion, a two-story, 240,000-square-foot McAlpin's department store, opened as the mall's fourth anchor store one year later.
Equitable Life Insurance put Tri-County and several other mall properties up for sale in December 1996. It was sold to the O'Connor Group in July 1997 for $147 million. In 1998, Dillard's acquired the Mercantile Stores Company, which resulted in all of the McAlpin's stores being rebranded as Dillard's. Blackstone Group, a real estate company based out of New York City, announced negotiations to buy the mall from O'Connor Group in 2002. Blackstone then sold the mall to Thor Equities in 2005.
Two further anchor changes occurred under Thor Equities' ownership. Lazarus, which had been dual-branded by Federated Department Stores as Lazarus-Macy's in 2003, became just Macy's in 2005. Also, J. C. Penney closed its Tri-County location in 2005. One year later, the former J. C. Penney building underwent a major renovation, in which a new mall hallway was run through the lower level of the building, leading to a new mall entrance. A joint venture of Coventry Real Estate and Developers Diversified Realty (now SITE Centers) bought the mall in May 2006.
In July 2013, the mall was purchased by SingHaiyi Group, a real estate company based in Singapore. Dillard's downgraded its store to an outlet store in 2013, and then closed it in 2015. To counter the decline in tenancy, SingHaiyi announced a renovation project in 2015.
On June 4, 2018, Sears announced that its Tri-County store would close in September 2018. Despite the closure of other anchors, Macy's opened a division of its discount format Backstage at its Tri-County location in 2018.
