Citrus Heights.Surveillance video shows what appears to be a man trying to set a 8200 block of Auburn Boulevard building on fire with a blow torch. Hours later, flames took over as crews worked feverishly to contain it.“It’s just something unusual,” said Michael Goble as he walked by.As the morning went on, people were stopping to take a look at the damage.This isn’t the first time the building has caught their eye.“I saw a gentleman walking up and down the sidewalk with a sandwich board saying  something about ‘Shame on Mom’s’ and ‘What about Mom’s not paying their rent?’” Goble said.The building housed Mom’s Florist for two decades. Dan Devries, the owner of the building, says in the last year the tenant failed to pay rent repeatedly.In March, Devries started the eviction process.“Since then, she’s been running her business without a business license,” said Devries.He says she was living in the building illegally and renting out space. He documented conditions inside in cell phone video he showed to CBS13.“It’s like hoarders living there,” Devries said. “Basically trails going through the ro... https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/10/28/citrus-heights-former-florist-building-suspicious-fire-camera/

Looking Back on Aug. 21 | Lewiston - The Bethel Citizen

Years Ago: 1920Mysterious lights flashed  on and off and weaved back and forth over the Courthouse lawn in Auburn Thursday night.

Third, the garden becomes a symbol to students who will greet It again in the fall and to those... https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/08/21/looking-back-on-aug-21-3/

Meet the Florida fans who sent get-well cards to Feleipe Franks - Tampa Bay Times

My whole life, I always wanted to be a quarterback at UF,” Ramsey said.A few weeks later, he got to meet one again: Franks. They talked for a minute or two outside The Swamp before the Auburn game, and Franks posed for a picture on his scooter.RELATED: College marching bands banding together after multiple fan attacks“It’s pretty awesome, getting to talk to him,” Ramsey said.Hays also had a personal encounter with Franks, one that changed the way she felt about Florida’s lightning-rod passer.As the Gators strolled from the bus to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before the LSU game last year, Franks walked past — then turned around and backtracked 10 steps just to give Hays’ husband a high five. Hays, regrettably, couldn’t snap a photo of it fast enough.“From that moment on,” Hays said, “you really couldn’t not like the guy.”Florida Gators fan Li... https://www.tampabay.com/sports/gators/2019/11/15/meet-the-florida-fans-who-sent-get-well-cards-to-feleipe-franks/

Budding florists get day in the sun in new reality series - Your Valley

By BROOKE LEFFERTS NEW YORK (AP) — They designed epic floral statements in limited time with some very intense judges, but the contestants on the new reality competition series “Full Bloom” did not wilt under pressure.Ten budding florists from around the United States compete in wildly creative floral design challenges on the eight-episode HBO Max series. It debuts Thursday on the streaming service.Contestants accept two themed challenges per episode -- with the luxury of choosing from the best blooms -- and spin flowers into art. The show lifts the curtain on the high-pressure world of floral design and what it takes to be successful. It’s not as easy as it may seem.“It’s not just about who’s making the most beautiful bouquet. That is part of it. We all have to make beautiful things for our clients. But it is so much about the journey of being in the floral industry, which people just do not understand," judge Elizabeth Cronin said.While it may appear that florists just “play with flowers,” she said, th... https://www.yourvalley.net/stories/budding-florists-get-day-in-the-sun-in-new-reality-series,200666

RVC florist fills window displays with 'holiday pandemic' scenes - Newsday

People passing by Masters and Company Florist in Rockville Centre will see a holiday window display not unlike those found in New York City. Its decked-out windows are inspired by both the holiday season and the pandemic. "I feel like everything is so surreal and depressing, especially during the holidays," says owner Laurie Speziale, 60. "Why not create something a little whimsy?" The scenes created by the Woodmere resident include a Santa Claus sporting a face covering and a Christmas tree with medical masks mixed in among its ornaments. "I always do [the windows] up quite elaborate, for every season and holiday," Speziale says of her decorative handiwork. This year, COVID pulled the plug on the events that typically carry her business such as weddings, bar and bas mitzvahes and other parties, which gave Speziale some extra time to beef up her holiday display. "I really wanted to bring joy to others, so I thought ‘why not really do them up and I just want as many... https://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/fashion-and-shopping/rockville-centre-masters-and-company-florist-1.50091128

Can flowers live through a pandemic? | Herald Community Newspapers - liherald.com

Roses, lilies and daisies tend to live longer than hyacinths, tulips and lilacs, however, the maximum lifespan of cut flowers is still about a week with maximum care. Since Phase One of New York’s reopening plan began May 27, florists were able to open in a limited manner with hopes of restocking as much as possible. Face masks and a limited capacity were requirements made by New York State that Imperial Florist in Baldwin, Flowers by Mike in Oceanside and Duryea’s Flower Shop in Freeport are all following in order to continue peddling petals. Ann Marie Pierce at Imperial Florist in Baldwin has been operating her shop with only one in-store employee and one delivery driver since late May, accepting curbside and delivery orders. According to Pierce, for “at least six weeks we didn’t work at all.” Imperial Florist has recently opened its shop to customers with caution, putting up dividers, allowing one person inside at a time, requiring mandatory facial covers and accepting only credit cards. Similarly to Pierce, Susan Martin, whose family runs Duryea’s Flower Shop in Freeport, has taken precautions in the first few weeks after reopening. Martin wipes down everything in the store frequently, allows no one to enter the refrigeration unit and has employees “working limited hours.”Mike Graham, the owner of Flowers by Mike in Oceanside and East Rockaway, said one of the main challenges he faced was coming up with new marketing strategies to reach his cu... https://www.liherald.com/merrick/stories/can-flowers-live-through-a-pandemic,126506
