How much would you pay for this piece of ’70s nostalgia?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:18 GMT

(CNN) — Here’s a story of an old TV house that has been redone inside like yesterday.Six kids used to call it home.It can be yours.For a big price to pay.“The Brady Bunch” house has hit the market for any fan of groovy ’70s pop culture, but it’ll take much more than a hunch to get your hands on it.The Los Angeles home, made famous by exterior shots on the blended-family sitcom, is going for $5.5 million. An extensive interior renovation makes it look just like it did on the show.From the outside, viewers saw a nice if typical suburban split-level. But inside, the show depicted an improbably sprawling spread known for a long, open staircase where the cast was regularly photographed.The show’s original run ended in 1974. When the longtime owner died in 2018, HGTV bought the house where Mike and Carol Brady raised Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy, with the help of trusted maid Alice.The purchase led to a new series, called “A Very Brady Renovation,” fe...

One tear meant more to Dave Pygon than if he were to receive a million favorable reviews on Amazon.His mother, 79-year-old Norma Pygon of Alsip, got a chance to read Dave’s debut effort as an author, “Win the 16,” a motivational book which was released in early May.The premise of the book is to help readers make the most out of the 16 waking hours that most people get.Norma is one of the inspirations for his career — and for the book. She even received her own chapter.“She raised three kids on her own,” Pygon said. “She worked during the day and went to school at night to get her college degree. That was highly motivating.“Watching that and living that and seeing that was highly inspiring.”So, Dave anxiously waited for his mother’s reaction to his book.Would she like it? Would she hate it? Would she criticize it?It turns out she overwhelmingly approved, much to Dave’s relief.“She had a tear in her eye,” he...

Can the Celtics make history?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:18 GMT

History has already been made. The Boston Celtics just have to make it one more time.A week ago, the Miami Heat were destined for a trip to the NBA Finals. They were alleged world-beaters who hadn’t only dismissed Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks in five first-round games, but were on pace to do the same to the Celtics by taking a commanding 3-0 Eastern Conference Finals series lead.Now, in the blink of an eye, the series is even. There will be a Game 7 — in Boston of all places — and now it’s the Celtics who once again look like Goliaths compared to a Heat team devoid of the confidence it once exuded.Only four teams in NBA history have ever come back from down 0-3 to force a Game 7: The Rochester Royals did it to the Knicks back in 1951; the Denver Nuggets came back to force Game 7 against the Utah Jazz in 1994; the Portland Trail Blazers stunned Dirk Nowitzki’s Dallas Mavericks to force Game 7 after trailing 0-3 in the first round in 2003...

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Preliminary, unofficial results from Turkish news agencies showed incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead with 95% of ballot boxes counted in a presidential runoff that will decide whether the country’s longtime leader stretches his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade.The state Anadolu news agency showed Erdogan at 52.3%, and his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, at 47.7%.Meanwhile, the ANKA news agency, close to the opposition, showed the results at 51.5% for Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu at 48.5%.In Istanbul, Erdogan supporters began celebrating even before the final results arrived, waving Turkish or ruling party flags, and honking car horns.The outcome could have implications far beyond Ankara. Turkey stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and it plays a key role in NATO.Erdogan’s government vetoed Sweden’s bid to join NATO and purchased Russian missile-defense systems, which prompted the United States to oust Turkey from a U.S.-led fi...

St. Louis among US cities with the dirtiest air

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:18 GMT

Two out of every five Americans—40%, or 137 million people—live in counties with unhealthy air quality, according to the American Lung Association's 2022 State of the Air report. Poor air quality, including unhealthy ozone or particle pollution, can lead to long-term health effects, including respiratory and cardiovascular issues that can lead to premature death.Air quality can be impacted and degraded by industrial emissions, ambient emissions such as those from cars and residential heating systems, and natural events, including wildfires and drought. Air quality can vary significantly by season and by region, even within the same city. In most places, however, there are several sources simultaneously contributing to air pollution.To learn more about where in the country the air is the dirtiest, Stacker analyzed the 2021 Air Quality Statistics Report from the Environmental Protection Agency, released in May 2022 to compile a list of the 50 cities with the dirtiest air.To help track...

It’s pretty amazing,” McBryan said.McBryan owns the top two floors of the raised geodesic dome on the 2900 block of Basingdale Boulevard.
