End of an era for Felixstowe shops
IT IS the end of an era in Felixstowe with one of its oldest and most familiar buildings set to be demolished to make way for a new development.The building in St Andrew's Road has been home to an antique shop, a kitchen company, a hair salon and a sandwich shop in the last two decades.Before that it had a colourful history as a ship's chandlery and a mortuary.But now the premises are set to be demolished and replace with six modern shops with flats above, and possibly offices at the rear.However, it means the businesses which currently occupy the building are having to close or move to new premises.Jens and Janet Skaarud , who have run Norsk Antiques for 24 years, have closed their shop, which grew from a small removals business they bought after he was made redundant.Mr Skaarud said: “I decided I would not work for anyone else again, and would work for myself.
Colts Memorabilia a Tough Game
INDIANAPOLIS - Now that the Colts have won the Super Bowl, plenty of people are spending plenty of money buying Colts memorabilia. But what separates a nice memento from a true collectible is a question for the experts. It is truly a flip of the coin figuring out whether or not Colts memorabilia will go up in value as the years go by. "When they start the game for the coin toss, yea, those are the coins. Now it's not a game used one, no, it's a replica," said Dick Autry, owner of the Baseball Card Exchange. The Baseball Card Exchange in Indianapolis has Peyton Manning rookie cards, Peyton Manning Colts toy trucks and even a Peyton Manning beanie baby. But Super Bowl win or not, he said you need to keep the following in mind. "If it's limited and numbered you stand a chance.
Rowling Marks End Of Writing Last Book
J.K. Rowling marked the spot where she finished the final "Harry Potter" book. "J.K. Rowling finished writing `Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' in this room on 11 Jan 2007," read the message on an antique-style statue at Edinburgh's five-star Balmoral Hotel.
The writer announced on Thursday that the seventh and final installment in the series, which tells the story of Harry during his final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, will be published July 21.
"I can confirm she did write some of the book at the Balmoral last month and did complete the book at that hotel," the author's spokeswoman, Nicky Stonehill, said.
The hotel said it does not encourage guests to write on hotel property, but Rowling is a special case.
"Obviously this is quite a unique case," hotel spokeswoman Jessica Trotter said.
