The 10-year-old is showing an enthusiasm for the holiday season that matches her famous family’s own
North West is truly feeling the Christmas spirit.
In a series of TikToks shared by the 10-year-old’s joint account with mom Kim Kardashian, North wore a “Sia-inspired” set of pigtails made of ribbons clipped to her hair. She doubled down on the festive outfit with a Christmas sweater of a Santa flexing his muscles that said, “Welcome to the North Swole.”
The pre-teen wore feather-hemmed plaid pants and Christmas socks to complete the look, which she wore as she danced around her beautifully decorated home to TikTok remixes of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Ariana Grande’s rendition of “Last Christmas,” and several of Sia’s holiday hits.

Last week, North shared a closer look at some of the family home’s decor, set to a sped-up version of Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me.”
The pan of the room showed numerous Christmas trees — one in all pink adorned with handbags, a few silver ones and a few in a darker gray. There were holiday treats all around the room, and a sign over the bed that read “North Pole.”
“Holiday decor- one of the kids rooms!🎄,” the caption read.
Last month, Kardashian brought North and Chicago, 5½, to see Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas One And All! show at the Hollywood Bowl. The three were joined by Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, True, 5½, and Dream, 7.
Not only did they get to enjoy the show together, but they also got to meet the Queen of Christmas and her daughter, 12-year-old Monroe, and pose for some photos afterward.
“The Queen of Christmas!!!! For the little girls very FIRST concert ever, we went to see the Queen herself, @mariahcarey !! We all had the best time, creating the most magical memories!! Thank you mommy for taking all of us! 🩵,” Khloé captioned photos from the night.
During last year’s lavish annual family Christmas Eve party, North joined the Australian singer to perform her wintry track “Snowman” as the pair stood inside a life-sized gift box.
The proud mom of four shared videos on her Instagram Story of daughter North enjoying her time in the spotlight, singing next to Sia with a microphone in hand. While Sia dressed elegantly in a long, white tulle gown with a matching headpiece, North looked chic in a shimmering black ensemble.
“@Siamusic and North performing Snowman,” Kim captioned the video, while Khloé shared similar footage, writing, “We love you @siamusic.”

Right next to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the beating heart of Hollywood, is a penthouse that transcends the ordinary, and comes with a touch of star-studded allure.
Set in the landmark building known as The Broadway Hollywood at 1645 Vine St, the loft-style condo with soaring ceilings is owned by none other than actor and comedian Danny McBride, best known for his distinctive comedic style and memorable roles in hits like Eastbound & Down and Pineapple Express.
But not for long, as The Righteous Gemstones creator/actor has listed it for sale, asking $1,795,000 for the 2,149-square-foot duplex condo. Deedee Howard of The Agency holds the listing.
McBride is by no means the only celebrity to live at the Broadway.
The star-studded Broadway Hollywood building was home to countless bold-faced names, including actors Charlize Theron and Jason Statham, Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, and Wilmer Valderrama and his fellow That 70s Show castmate Danny Masterson.
Inside Danny McBride’s penthouse at The Broadway
Recently renovated, McBride’s penthouse is a swanky one-bedroom, two-bath spread with an industrial loft style with exposed ductwork.
From the Hollywood sign to the rolling hills and the iconic Capitol Records building, each view offered by the duplex condo’s sleek glass windows is a cinematic experience.
Key facts & figures
Bedrooms: 1
Baths: 2
Square footage: 2,149 sq. ft.
Price: $1,795,000
Price/ sq. ft: $1,128
Building amenities: newly finished, rooftop pool area with a hot tub, a fitness center, world-class 24-hour staff, secure access, and two parking spaces with 24-hour valet service
Sleek design and lofty spaces
Lofty spaces, gallery walls for art, and soaring ceilings create an inviting ambiance, reflecting McBride’s eclectic tastes and appreciation for aesthetics.
Live/work in style
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the penthouse is a live/work space that mirrors McBride’s dynamic career.

A chic media room with a projector, an open kitchen with high-end Viking appliances, and an industrial staircase leading to the primary ensuite bedroom loft make this space a versatile canvas for both relaxation and creativity.
Lofty living
The primary ensuite bedroom loft, with its walk-in closet, stunning marble bath, and private outdoor terrace with an inviting fireplace, adds to the appeal of this city gem.
Rooftop retreat & private balcony
Residents, including the comedic genius himself, can indulge in sunsets from one of the cabanas at the rooftop pool area. The newly finished space includes a hot tub with breathtaking hillside views and an adjacent fitness center.
The penthouse also has its own private outdoor terrace with a fireplace that’s perfect for enjoying the city’s vibrant nighttime lights.
Upscale living, Hollywood style
World-class 24-hour staff, secure access, and the convenience of two parking spaces with 24-hour valet service add to the appeal, but it’s the location that trumps all other attributes.
Proximity to the Entertainment District places renowned establishments like Katsuya, a vibrant Sunday farmers market, and a Trader Joe’s just steps away.
And let’s not forget that the world’s biggest stars are literally at your feet as soon as you step out of the building, with the Hollywood Walk of Fame right outside its doorsteps.
This property falls under the Mills Act, adding a layer of financial appeal to this Hollywood gem.

Pitting Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios parks against each other might feel like an effort in futility for some Disney enthusiasts.
Both Florida theme parks operate under the Walt Disney World Resort umbrella, but it has been said that Magic Kingdom is for children, while Disney’s Hollywood Studios caters more to adults. If you’re limited to visiting one park because of time or budget, here’s what you need to know.
Themes of Magic Kingdom vs. Hollywood Studios
Although the parks come with a healthy dose of the Disney atmosphere, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are distinct in their themes:
Magic Kingdom is quintessential Disney. It has a handful of fantastical lands with a broad range of characters from classic Disney films — Cinderella, Snow White and the like.
Hollywood Studios leans more heavily into Pixar, with such attractions as Toy Story Land and Pixar Plaza. “Star Wars” lovers will be drawn to Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.
You may also want to take into account the difference in crowd volume. In 2022, for example, 10.9 million people visited Hollywood Studios while Magic Kingdom welcomed about 17.1 million visitors — about 57% more people.
Generally, Magic Kingdom experiences heavier foot traffic. It’s the more popular theme park — after all, it features the iconic Cinderella Castle — so you may want to factor that in if you’re looking for smaller crowds.
Rides at Hollywood Studios vs. Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom has more rides than any other Walt Disney World park, including Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom boasts 23 rides, while Hollywood Studios has nine.
In terms of newer attractions, Magic Kingdom is home to TRON Lightcycle/Run, a darker thrill ride based on the movie “TRON: Legacy.” Meanwhile, Hollywood Studios has Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Each park also has kid-friendly rides and attractions, although since Magic Kingdom has significantly more rides, it also offers the greatest variety of kids’ rides. Magic Kingdom includes classic Disney rides like Peter Pan’s Flight, Tomorrowland Speedway and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Meanwhile, at Hollywood Studios, younger visitors have options like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Toy Story’s Slinky Dog Dash.
Shows at Hollywood Studios vs. Magic Kingdom
Both theme parks offer unique shows, including daytime experiences and nighttime spectaculars.
Hollywood Studios hosts the “Fantasmic!” musical, with Mickey Mouse directing the show from center stage. At Magic Kingdom, the famous “Happily Ever After” fireworks show serves as an iconic backdrop to Cinderella’s Castle.
Restaurants inside Disney Magic Kingdom vs. Hollywood Studios
Magic Kingdom offers 39 dining options, from table service to walk-up counter service options. At Hollywood Studios, visitors will find 30 dining options — certainly enough to choose from throughout the day, but still fewer than Magic Kingdom.
When it comes to fine dining, Magic Kingdom wins the match. You’ll find a three-course French menu at the Be Our Guest Restaurant, or you can reserve a table on a ferryboat cruise while enjoying dessert and an unbeatable view of the fireworks.
Additionally, Magic Kingdom offers two character dining experiences — Cinderella’s Royal Table and The Crystal Palace, where you’ll dine alongside Winnie the Pooh and friends. Currently, there’s one Hollywood Studios character dining opportunity at Hollywood & Vine, where you’ll be greeted by Minnie and friends.
Magic Kingdom vs. Hollywood Studios: Which is better?
Magic Kingdom easily comes out on top in terms of the number of rides and live shows. It can take more than a day to experience them all.
But Hollywood Studios offers a couple of lands that are highly unique. If someone in your group is a die-hard Pixar fan, for example, it isn’t hard to imagine they’d prefer Hollywood Studios over Magic Kingdom.
Additionally, those who are part of the “Star Wars” fandom might clamor to visit Hollywood Studios to experience Galaxy’s Edge and the immersive experience that Batuu offers.

The winter holidays are one of the best times to visit Walt Disney World. The parks and hotels are decked out in fresh decor and there’s no shortage of holiday-themed entertainment. Characters turn up for photos wearing winter garb while some rides get festive overlays (for example, the Jungle Cruise becomes the Jingle Cruise).
But the season also makes for one of the most crowded — and most expensive — times to visit the Disney resort, as Disney engages in variable pricing where tickets cost more on high-demand days. If you’re headed to Disney World this winter, these lesser-known tricks can save money and time.
1. Find the least busy day to visit
Disney trip planning site Touring Plans collected 43 million average wait times for rides over the past 13 years to best predict crowds by day. After rating days on a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being the least busy and 10 being the busiest), here are Touring Plans’ crowd predictions for the six days before and after Christmas 2023:
Tuesday, Dec. 19: 7.
Wednesday, Dec. 20: 7.
Thursday, Dec. 21: 6.
Friday, Dec. 22: 5.
Saturday, Dec. 23: 7.
Sunday, Dec. 24: 7.
Monday, Dec. 25: 8.
Tuesday, Dec. 26: 8.
Wednesday, Dec. 27: 9.
Thursday, Dec. 28: 9.
Friday, Dec. 29: 9.
Saturday, Dec. 30: 9.
Sunday, Dec. 31: 8.
If there’s one best day to visit, it’s Friday, Dec. 22. And in general, the week before Christmas is less busy than the week after.
2. Consider Disney’s dining promotion deal
If you’re staying at a Disney-owned resort, a limited-time dining promotion might sweeten the deal. You’ll receive a Dining Promo Card (for use at most Disney restaurants) when you book a minimum five-night stay, worth up to $1,000.
The card’s value is correlated to the price of your hotel room, so travelers who book rooms in the Deluxe tier of Disney resorts receive $200 per night, while rooms booked at Disney’s lower-cost hotels receive $60 per night.
Depending on the room you book, this promotion could be a deal. For example, NerdWallet found availability at one of Disney’s top-tier hotels, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, for under $500 per night on some nights in December.
While the package requires a minimum five-night stay plus park tickets, receiving a dining gift card ($800 if you book four nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge) worth about 40% of the overall room cost might be appealing.
The promotion covers stays on most nights through March 5, 2024, including Thanksgiving week and the week before Christmas (arrival dates between Dec. 26 and Jan. 8 aren’t eligible).
3. Order small plates at the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays
If you’re not staying at a Disney resort long enough to qualify for the dining promo, dine at the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays.
Between Nov. 24 and Dec. 30, temporary food stands serve seasonal international dishes in line with the park’s global theme. For example, the Japanese-themed Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen serves cranberry boba and the L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen serves potato latkes.
Epcot festival dishes are typically smaller than traditional restaurant entrees, but prices are lower. Many food items cost less than $5, and almost all are less than $10.
4. Replace theme park visits with free activities
Rather than buying a theme park ticket, take a free, self-guided tour past the massive and intricate gingerbread houses on display in the lobbies of six Disney-owned hotels. Among the largest displays is at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. According to Disney, the hotel’s pastry team spent 500 hours baking gingerbread and 480 hours decorating the house, which features 10,000 pieces of gingerbread.
Getting to each hotel can be an adventure in itself. Two hotels, Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, are located on the resort’s monorail line, which doesn’t require a ticket to board. Almost all the resorts are also accessible by boat (again, no ticket needed), which can be a scenic and relaxing way to get around.
If you want another free Disney World activity, visit the resort’s entertainment district, Disney Springs. During the holidays, you might want to stroll past the shopping center’s 19 Disney-themed trees or visit Santa Claus.
5. Consider an after-hours party instead of a theme park ticket
Walt Disney World offers two sets of after-hours parties this year (both run a handful of nights throughout the season): Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park, and Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Party ticket prices aren’t cheap, as both start at about $160 (and can cost more than $200 on peak nights). In fact, they often cost more than standard theme park tickets. But for certain travelers, they might be a better deal. That’s because capacity is more limited than during the day, typically resulting in shorter ride wait times (eliminating the need to pay for upcharges like Disney Genie+, which offers paid, express line access).
The parties also offer entertainment you can’t find anywhere else, and — at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — you get complimentary cookies and cocoa.

When it comes to quintessential Midwestern charm and an appealing blend of rural allure with a strong arts culture, Iowa stands out as a gem in the heartland of the U.S. From its expansive cornfields to its rich heritage, the Hawkeye State has much to offer in terms of jobs, attractions, art, food, culture and entertainment. But what is Iowa known for, exactly? Let’s learn a bit more about this Midwestern locale and prove that Iowa is in no way a flyover state.
Agriculture
Iowa’s sprawling landscapes are synonymous with agriculture, earning it the moniker “The Corn State.” The state plays a pivotal role in the nation’s large-scale agricultural production, with vast cornfields and soybean crops dominating the scenery. Agriculture is not just an industry in Iowa; it’s a way of life that shapes the state’s economy and fosters a deep connection to the land.
Education
Iowa has a reputation for outstanding education, anchored by institutions like the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. The state places a premium on learning, consistently ranking high in national education assessments. The commitment to education is reflected in its stellar school systems and the scholarly atmosphere that permeates the state.
Politics
Every four years, Iowa takes center stage in the political arena as it hosts the first caucuses in the U.S. presidential election cycle. The Iowa caucuses play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the presidential election, attracting attention from candidates, media and political enthusiasts alike.
Nature
For nature enthusiasts, Iowa offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Whether it’s exploring the ancient mounds at Effigy Mounds National Monument, spelunking in the caves of Maquoketa Caves State Park or driving along the scenic Great River Road, the state’s natural beauty beckons adventurers year-round.
Art
The arts scene in Iowa is strong. Cities like Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City serve as hubs for artistic expression, hosting galleries, theaters and events throughout the year.
The state is home to renowned institutions such as the Des Moines Art Center and the University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop, contributing to the nurturing of emerging talents. Whether it’s the annual Iowa Arts Festival or the music that echoes through historic venues, Iowa’s artistic community is as prolific as it has ever been.
Festivals
Iowa knows how to throw a party, and its festivals and community events are a testament to that. The Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, one of the largest in the nation, is a spectacle of agriculture exhibits, live concerts and, of course, a ton of mouthwatering culinary delights, like the one pictured above that was snapped at the fair in recent years.
Food
While corn is a staple, Iowa’s food scene offers a lot more than starchy starters. The state is renowned for its pork tenderloin sandwiches, a savory, delicious treat. The Iowa State Fair takes the culinary experience to another level with its inventive and sometimes outrageous food offerings, making it a haven for foodies seeking the hearty comfort fare of the Midwest.

Covered bridges and Hollywood legends
Madison County is home to the famous covered bridges, as you’ll find immortalized in the novel and film “The Bridges of Madison County.” Visitors can traverse the scenic countryside and explore these charming structures by immersing themselves in the timeless romance of the area. Additionally, Winterset proudly claims to be the birthplace of legendary actor John Wayne, with a museum dedicated to his life and career.
Iowa’s more than alright
What is Iowa known for? Iowa’s unique blend of agriculture, education, political significance, outdoor beauty and more makes it a captivating spot to call home. Whether you’re exploring the historic covered bridges, savoring a pork tenderloin sandwich or participating in the political process during the caucuses, Iowa invites you to discover the heartland’s warmth and charm.
When cityapproval of a proposed $350 million skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles was on the line, project manager Hamid Behdad knew he had to give in to the last-minute demand of a planning commissioner to quadruple the number of electric vehicle charging stations in the condominium tower.
“When you are in the heat of the hearing in the last leg of the proposal, you aren’t going to say no,” Behdad said, even though he thought the requirement was overkill.
Today, with the Perla on Broadway complete and angling for buyers, Behdad said he is “extremely glad that commissioner forced us” to install chargers on 20% of the building’s parking stalls.

“If we didn’t have these 90 chargers, we would be in real trouble selling units,” he said.
Landlords of apartments, hotels, office buildings and other commercial properties are rushing to avoid similar trouble. And owners of convenience stores, fast food chains, movie theaters and big box retailers are hoping to cash in on EV chargers to lure customers with time to kill as they fill up.
Charging centers are just the first step of commercial landlords scrambling to adjust to a historic burst of change in the world of transportation, with once fantastical notions like autonomous cars and air taxis nearing fruition.
Some companies are building charging centers that are a giant step beyond electrified gas stations. Elon Musk’s Tesla, for instance, is building a whimsical drive-in movie and diner complex in Hollywood where Tesla owners can entertain themselves while loading their batteries.
Fancy L.A. shopping centers such as the Grove and Westfield Century City have chargers, as do the more workaday Walgreens, Walmarts, Subways and 7-Elevens.
The arrival of Tesla’s Model 3 and other more affordable electric vehicles are helping EVs seize market share from gas-powered vehicles, putting more pressure on the historically slow-changing real estate business to get with the times.

The immediate issue is installing enough chargers to meet growing demand and seize business opportunities. But other advances in transportation technology stand to rewrite centuries-old rules about how buildings are designed and built.
When cars no longer spew toxic fumes and can park and drive themselves, hotel and office lobbies might be designed for cars to drop off people inside and go off and do their own thing. In the not-too-distant future when visitors arrive by electric air taxis, buildings might need a second entrance lobby on the roof for the drones to land. Los Angeles officials are planning for such flying vehicles to be operational by the 2028 Olympics and are looking at how to regulate them.
“What happens when you blur boundaries between automobiles and architecture?” said Dylan Jones, a strategic planner specializing in mobility for architecture firm Gensler. “Do you need a garage in the building? Can you sell your car’s energy” to your landlord?
Such technological shifts could require dramatically different building designs, but few developers are looking that far ahead, he said. It’s the nature of the business that typically operates in five-year cycles of building and selling.
“The real estate industry is funny because developers don’t want to speculate about the far future,” Jones said. Developers “want to be able to just peek around the corner and see what’s coming” and be set up to succeed with technology that will exist when the building opens.
Los Angeles developer Walter N. Marks III sees a lure in new technology for a luxury apartment tower he is planning on Wilshire Boulevard with a mechanized parking system that will whisk cars out of sight and charge them if desired.
Tenants will drive their cars onto a movable metal pallet that will quickly park them underground andpower up electric vehicles if the resident plugs it in.
Marks is already operating a mechanized parking system at Helms Bakery District, a historic collection of shops and restaurants his family owns in Culver City. It doesn’t charge cars, but in the future he wouldn’t install a system that didn’t, he said.
All new automobiles and light trucks sold in California will be required to be zero-emission by 2035. The electric age is here. But the autonomous one is less certain. Marks is skeptical of predictions that consumers will give up their private automobiles in the near future and rely on fleets of robot taxis to ferry them about.
“I do believe that the car culture in Los Angeles is unique and very powerful,” he said. “People take their cars extremely seriously, and I think we need to recognize that and honor it.”
Jones thinks attitudes about driving your own car may change quickly when autonomous vehicles are reliably safe and data show that people are more likely to be killed by human-driven vehicles than autonomous ones.
“Drivers will become the smokers of the future; they’ll be socially shunned,” he said. “People will look at them and say , ‘Oh, you drove to work today? My kids are on the street. What are you doing?’”
That era is yet to come. At this point, the push is on among housing developers to provide charging stations to the growing number of tenants demanding them.
Socially conscious housing developer Cityview is rushing to add them to its existing apartments, including a building with only eight units, Chief Executive Sean Burton said.
Cityview usually adds as many stations as existing buildings’ electrical systems can handle, he said. Properties that weren’t constructed with charging in mind are often limited in how much power they can supply to chargers.
“In general I think building owners are adopting more slowly than they should,” Burton said. “We try to be more leading edge on sustainability issues.”
An apartment management company that manages 76,000 units for various owners is racing to meet rising demand in part by retrofitting garage electrical outlets to handle 210 volts for Level 2 charging, said Jackie Impellitier, vice president of operations for ZRS Management. That is the common commercial system for charging that takes about three to eight hours. The price of charging is added to tenants’ electrical bills.
“The thing we are all acknowledging is having charging stations is no longer an amenity, it’s a necessity” to attract and keep tenants, she said. “We are going to start losing renters if we don’t have easy and convenient access” to charging.
Most apartment developers and owners “weren’t even paying attention to EV drivers” as a category of tenants five years ago, Impellitier said, when Tesla stood practically alone as the provider of electric vehicles. “Now, every carmaker has an electric model.”
Charging stations are commonly installed and operated by third-party vendors. The big expense for landlords is getting sufficient electricity to garages and parking lots to support Level 2 charging. (The lower Level 1, plugging into a common 120-volt electrical outlet, can take more than a day if you’re charging from empty).
Level 3 chargers that can charge a car sufficiently in as little as 20 minutes run on at least 400 volts. They are expensive to set up and require electrical infrastructure not typically found in residential buildings
Automotive data provider S&P Global Mobility estimated in January that there are about 126,500 Level 2 and 13,487 Level 3 commercial charging stations in the United States today, plus another 16,822 Tesla Superchargers and Tesla destination chargers. The number of chargers grew more in 2022 than in the preceding three years combined, S&P said.
Among them are chargers at fast-food and other convenience businesses that hope customers buy things while their cars charge. Earlier this year 7-Eleven Inc. said it intends to build one of the largest fast-charging networks of any retailer in North America and already has chargers in four states, including California. Drivers pay through a phone app.
“7-Eleven will have the ability to grow its network to match consumer demand and make EV charging available to neighborhoods that have, until now, lacked access,” the company said in a statement.
Sandwich maker Subway is rolling out a variation on the theme — charging “parks” with multiple charging stations that also happen to have restaurants. These Subway Oasis charging parks will have picnic tables, Wi-Fi, restrooms, green space and playgrounds, the company said. They’ll be rolled out across the country at new or newly remodeled locations
Drug store chain Walgreens claims to be “the nation’s largest retail host” of chargers with more than 430 locations offering them. Other household-name retailers installing chargers include Ikea, Kohl’s, Walmart, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Taco Bell and theater chain Cinemark.
Additional concepts for charging stations with retail services intended to attract customers with time to kill are emerging.
Tesla, the giant of the EV industry with a growing network of fast chargers, is rolling out what it calls a supercharger diner and drive-in theater in Hollywood that promises an “American Graffiti” style pit stop for Tesla drivers perhaps running 24 hours a day.
Tesla is constructing the charging and entertainment complex on Santa Monica Boulevard — historic Route 66 — near a trendy stretch of Sycamore Avenue that has celebrity-favored restaurants, upscale shops and art galleries.
The car maker paid $16.7 million last year for a corner lot at Orange Drive where a shuttered Shakey’s Pizza Parlor was demolished to make way for the two-story project that could become an iconic venture for Tesla. The plan calls for a restaurant and two movie screens showing features that last half an hour, roughly the time it takes to charge a vehicle.
The complex is to have 29 fast superchargers and five Level 2 chargers available around the clock, while the theaters, visible from both cars and rooftop seating, would operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. A screen of bamboo would shield Tesla’s movies from the street.
On the I-15 freeway between L.A. and Las Vegas, the developers of a charging station set to open in January expect to charge around 10,000 vehicles per month. The 24-hour outpost will have 40 fast charging station around a yet-to-be-announced nationally known coffee seller, said Lester Ciudad Real, co-founder of StackCharge, which is developing the project near a freeway exit in Baker.
The opportunity to charge while parked at the office has also emerged as a must for tenants. A recent survey by real estate brokerage JLL found that tenant-demanded clauses calling for charging were among the least likely to be included in existing office space leases signed in years past but would be the top priority in future negotiations.
But office building owners are stuck trying to strike the right balance. They must keep up with growing demands without overspending on chargers that aren’t needed yet, said Rex Hamre, national director of sustainability for JLL. It’s usually easy to add up to 10 stations, but trying to make even 20% of the spaces charge-ready in a 600-car parking facility could incur steep costs for electrical infrastructure.
“We are still at the cutting edge of this transition,” Hamre said. “Innovative companies are taking advantage of it as an opportunity.”
EV refueling could lead to changes in how cities look in ways that have yet to be fully imagined, architect Jones said. Gas stations in prime urban locations could give way to hybrid buildings with coffee bars, co-working offices and meeting rooms, built around indoor charging points.
“Word Perfect made typing easier, and then computers became more ingrained and it did things a typewriter could never do,” Jones said. “We’re in the early stages where the first EV charging infrastructure we’re seeing is a replication of what we understand is a refueling station. But in the future they’re going to look and feel much different.”

1. Jurassic Park
The OP opened the topic with, “Jurassic Park only recently, and I think it still works. In fact, it touches more subjects and problems and patches a lot more plot holes than a lot of today’s blockbusters.”
Jurassic Park is Steven Spielberg’s massive blockbuster franchise that revolves around two paleontologists and mathematicians. They are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. They later found out it wasn’t as safe as they thought when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.
2. Inside Out
One Redditor replied to the OP and shared, “F— This post makes me feel old.”
Another user responded, “Personally, I think those old Disney flicks like Inside Out are really timeless. Edited twice for grammar.”
Another agreed, “Same. And I’m not even what you’d consider ‘old.’”
3. Chinatown
“Chinatown…..oooooh, I love me some noir. Also, if the early 90’s is classic, then Glengarry Glen Ross. Edit: the first Dirty Harry movie, also Escape from Alcatraz. Remains of the Day…I still cry a bit when I watch that. The first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve…sure, it’s got ridiculously dated effects, but the joy of Williams’ score and Reeve just being perfect for Clark Kent and Superman is always uplifting to me,” one usershared.
4. City Lights
One user highlighted some movies, “Good list. I’d throw City Lights, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Rebecca, Rear Window, The Wicker Man, and The Last Picture Show on there.”
Another user replied, “Thank you for that. When I think of classics, I think of that time period; maybe I’m getting old.”
One Redditor commented, “Period films should always hold up… it is in their design.”
5. Citizen Kane
One user also shared another list, “When it comes to classic old movies that still hold up today, opinions may vary. However, here are a few examples that are often regarded as timeless:

“Casablanca (1942)—This romantic drama set during World War II is known for its memorable quotes, enduring performances, and timeless themes of love, sacrifice, and political intrigue.
“The Shawshank Redemption (1994)—Though not as old as some other classics, this film has achieved cult status and is considered one of the best movies ever made. Its gripping story, exceptional performances, and messages of hope and redemption have resonated with audiences worldwide.
“Gone with the Wind (1939)—This epic historical romance is still highly regarded for its sweeping scale, memorable characters, and lush cinematography. It remains a classic example of old Hollywood filmmaking.
“Psycho (1960)—Alfred Hitchcock’s psychological thriller continues to be praised for its suspenseful storytelling, iconic shower scene, and groundbreaking techniques. Its impact on the horror genre is still felt today.”
6. The Godfather
One added, “The Godfather.”
This mob drama, based on Mario Puzo’s novel, follows the Italian-American crime family of Don Vito Corleone. Michael, the son, joins the Mafia, leading to violence and betrayal, affecting Michael’s relationship with his wife, Kay.
7. It’s a Wonderful Life
A user shared, “I’d say maybe most of Frank Capra’s films still hold up. Even if the world isn’t the same.”
Some of Frank Capra’s films are It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), It Happened One Night (1934), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (1936), and Lost Horizon (1937).
8. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
“Twin peaks fire walk with me. Still scarier than most of the so-called horror movies nowadays.”, posted by a Redditor.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a 1992 American psychological horror film directed by David Lynch and written by Lynch and Engels. It is a prequel to the television series Twin Peaks, which combines detective fiction, horror, supernatural, offbeat humor, and soap opera tropes. The film has a darker tone, with most television cast members reprising their roles, but some notable cast members, such as Lara Flynn Boyle and Richard Beymer, did not return for various reasons.
9. Pinocchio (1940)
One user shared some movie names and posted, “Plenty still hold up in terms of artistic/entertainment value: Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, Strangers on a Train, Repulsion, Vertigo, Pinocchio (1940 version), The Great Escape, The 39 Steps, The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, The Sting, Jaws, Romeo and Juliet (1968 version), All About Eve, The Grapes of Wrath, Cool Hand Luke, and Hud. Loads more too.”
10. White Heat
Another user commented, “Cagney in White Heat for sure, any of the original James Bond movies w SC of course, Taking of Pelham 123 (original version), 2001, Mr. Roberts, Far From the Madding Crowd, jeezz too many to mention, THAT is why TMC is so important to our continuation of literate culture… Movies are artwork and are the antidote to our mindless modern American culture. Hey, you kids out there, stop watching fascist corporate stuff, Captain Avenger-type stuff; it is destroying your minds!!”
