Summer is a special place at the Tampa Theatre. Their Moving-Making Summer Camp was named Best Summer Camp for Kids . Youngsters will learn the art of Digital Filmmaking, from storyboard to final cut! I am hoping my daughter will be able to help with my vidcasts when her session is over! There are still some spaces available for this summer!Theatre-inside

Live Without a Car…In Europe

Filed under: Architecture, International Real Estate, Project Blogger, Real Estate News, Where is Jackie Now?

[googlevideo]6907913168900963890&[/googlevideo]Living in a large city in Europe, like Vienna, or Prague, can mean life Met_rowithout a car. European cities are pedestrian-friendly, bicycle-friendly and have well-designed inner-city transportation. Subways, Trams and buses can transport you across the city in a matter of minutes. Often, trying to cross the city by car can take four times as long as traveling by subway!

Traveling from country to country is just as easy. Train schedules are filled with many trains each day to various cities across the continent. Express trains can cross several countries in a matter of hours. When I lived in Switzerland, I was just 5 hours from Paris and Milan.

It was easy to hop an early train and shop for the day, venturing back home that night. It is nice to sit back and enjoy the countryside, or enjoy a meal in the dining car.

Tgv_trainSo, the next time I climb into my SUV for a little road trip, I will be longing for that TGV train with the champagne on board!

Gasometer City…Unique Architecture in Vienna

Filed under: Architecture, International Real Estate, Project Blogger, Real Estate News

Most of the architecture in Vienna is ornate, with Gothic, Baroque Gasometerand Greek influences, many buildings dating back to the 1600s.

One of the most unique residential developments, which breaks from tradition, in Vienna, is Gasometer City . Originally built during the late 19th century as four round, brick, gas storage tanks, which stored all of the gas for the city, the tanks sat abandoned for many years after natural gas was piped into the city. Rather than being destroyed, some innovative architects designed a self-contained, multi-use complex using the four gas tanks as the exterior walls for the new development. I was fascinated, as I toured “tank after tank”…what a great idea!

The interiors were removed and rebuilt to include 254 flats, 76 student residences, office space, retail and entertainment. The four tanks were connected by walkways and the interior spaces are large, open atriums. Gaso_meter

This highly successful development project, close to the Prater, was completed in 2001 at a cost of 150 Million Euros. With great access to the city via the U-bahn, It has become a popular place to live outside the center.
