Police catch suspect in flower shop arson - KOB 4

Pollack said. After canvassing the area, the criminal complaint said, police found a man matching the description of the person in that surveillance video at Bel Air-Miramontes Park, which is two blocks away from the scene of the crime. The suspect is Travese Spragg. Pollack said he doesn't know Spragg and has no idea why he'd want to start the business on fire. But Pollack said they do frequently see homeless people walking nearby. "They spend some time back here they spend some time in the front of our building overnight," Pollack said. "We've talked to the city about it, but I know they're so overwhelmed with the problem. They've told us there's not much they can do." Pollack said employees have been using their own cars to make sure no orders need to be cancelled, and they've seen an outpouring of support throughout the whole ordeal. "It's been great to know that you have a lot of friends in the community," he said. http://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/peoples-flower-shop-arson-fire-arrest/4535305/

Kim Kardashian's Birthday: Armed Bodyguard Delivers Flowers As She Stays In Hiding - Hollywood Life

So safe that an ARMED GUARD was needed to delivery flowers to her home for the special occasion. The guard appeared toting a gun on Oct. 21 outside of Kim’s Bel Air residence. Poor Kim has pretty much gone MIA since returning to the states after being robbed in Paris on Oct. 3. We completely empathize with her decision to keep security airtight. But is this a little much?Kim has yet to find a way to escape the terrifying incident she went through just a few weeks ago, and we don’t blame her. It will take a while before she can feel totally safe and comfortable again, even in her own home, as the robbery took place in a hotel room where she presumably felt completely safe too. We just hate to think that she was still so frightened on her birthday  that she had a hard time enjoying anything, let alone the delivery of a beautiful bouquet of flowers, without extra security.

When he showed it to her, she completely broke down in tears, she was so touched.” Aw, Kim... http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/10/22/kim-kardashian-flowers-delivered-armed-bodyguard-birthday-hiding-pics/

By X17 StaffHappy birthday, Kimmy!It looks like Kanye skipped his usual flower wall this year, in favor of more traditional bouquets. But as the white roses were delivered on Friday to the couple's Bel Air mansion, it wasn't just any flower delivery ... the van had to park at the end of the driveway, buzz in and then an armed guard escorted the flower dude up the long driveway to the back door.

Perspective | This D.C. florist secret to surviving 114 years and four generations - The Washington Post

People say, ‘Gosh, why don’t you put a shop in Virginia? Why don’t you put one in Maryland?’” Mike said. “The thing about this is we like to have control over the product and the employees and everyone. That way, you can take care of your quality. If you start branching out more and more, then you have more headaches.”Boxes of flowers come in the back door, and beautiful arrangements fly out the front. Besides the trucks, they have some refrigerators and a computer. “With flowers, you want to move those out two, three days after you get them in,” Mike said. “It’s not like food where you can put it in the freezer. You want to keep that product moving.”The Washington economy does its part.“You are insulated by being in D.C., between the government, the individual businesses and the law firms,” he said. “We have been at this location since 1968. The rents keep escalating. I try to get in as long a lease as I can. I signed one a couple of years ago for 10 years.”[A first lesson on the stock market: Don’t run from a good sale]Mike’s brothers, Tim and Steven, split responsibilities.

Frostburg. For the couple’s first official date they settled on a restaurant neighboring the Chesapeake Bay in Havre de Grace, Maryland, called the Tidewater Grill.
