| Local Gas Station Charging Over $4 Per Gallon Near OIA
ORLANDO, Fla. -- There was a break for the holidays, but gas prices are ready to rise again. One local gas station, though, is already charging customers much more than others. RAW INTERVIEW: Manager Defends $4.49 Per Gallon Customers at the independent gas station near the Orlando International Airport are paying $4.49 a gallon. Some of the customers don't know the price they're paying until it's too late. There are no large signs showing the prices at the station. Most customers are tourists returning rental cars before catching flights at Orlando International Airport. Not all believe it's an honorable way to conduct business. "It's not fair. It's definitely price gouging during the holiday season," said tourist Les Lazarus. Even at $4.49 a gallon for regular, most of the pumps were busy at Suncoast Energys on Friday morning.

Democrats duel, then McCain pounces
Now, the economy is in recession, we don't have any buffer zone to absorb the kind of mistake that a rookie president makes in the first two years! We need somebody who knows how to turn around a bad situation into opportunities, and that the Clintons! The Clinton's scandals do not make families loose their sons/daughters to a war, to loose their house or their jobs. Their policies are more right than wrong when they left us with a strong economy. I am not looking for a perfect score on every policy, I am looking for 'more right than wrong' and that they are willing to go back and fix things. We saw how Hillary turned her defeat with her first attempt at health care into giving us the health care for children; Nafta is good for some and not for others, so she will fix it too.
Car rental parking at Rohlsen Airport to be moved to make room for ...
STINE LETT
Thursday, December 20th 2007
ST. CROIX - By spring 2008, the general public patronizing Rohlsen Airport will be able to park a little closer to its terminal. V.I. Port Authority board member Gordon Finch, who chairs the board's Projects Committee, said that three car rental agencies - Budget, Hertz and Avis - with concessions and parking spaces at the Rohlsen Airport, will park their vehicles off-site, freeing up about 30 parking spaces near the terminal for use by the general public. The authority had received a number of complaints about the walking distance from the public parking area, which sits behind the rental cars on the south end, to the airport terminal, he said. "That's about to change, and that's the bottom line," Finch said.
Wrigley Field would get new neighbors under developer's proposal for ...
A Chicago developer unveiled plans in the city's Wrigleyville neighborhood Wednesday night for a nine-story, mixed-use development with a hotel that would stand virtually eye-to-eye with Wrigley Field.
Representatives for developer Steven Schultz, who owns land across the street from the ballpark at the north end of the block bounded by Clark and Addison Streets and Sheffield Avenue, met with community members and Ald. Tom Tunney to seek support for the project.
Schultz wants to build two nine-story buildings connected by a four or five-story base, with a Hyatt Place hotel on the Clark Street side and residences at Addison and Sheffield. The hotel would have about 135 rooms, and the other building would contain about 150 rental units. There also would be about 100,000 square feet of commercial space on the land, plus a health club and 500 parking spaces.
School district to separate boys, girls
GREENSBORO, Ga. - Nearly four decades after this rural Georgia county stopped segregating its schools by race, it wants to divide students again — this time by sex. Greene County is set to become the first school district in the nation to go entirely single-sex, with boys and girls in separate classrooms — a move born of desperation over years of poor test scores, soaring dropout rates and high numbers of teenage pregnancies. "At the rate we're moving, we're never going to catch up," Superintendent Shawn McCollough told parents in an impassioned speech last week. "If we're going to take some steps, let's take some big steps." .
Courmayeur: the perfect break
With its freshly fallen snow and fine Italian food, the pretty village of Courmayeur is ideal for a short skiing holiday, says Nick Trend. Latest snow reports Snow and ski homepage Why go now? After a slow start to the season compared with the rest of the Alps, snow has now fallen in abundance on the Italian side.
