LONDON, ONT. As travel restrictions lift, including the two week quarantine for international travellers who are double vaccinated, the London International Airport has seen more activity. We’re seeing some more travellers and in discussion with airlines we’re also seeing more activity going into the future, said Michael Seabrook, President & CEO of the London International Airport. Although business is nowhere near where it was 16 months ago, in July, travel agencies have started seeing an uptick on people looking to book those international getaways. Alice Tse, Manager of Posh Travel Agency, says most people are booking trips for November and December.

OAKLAND (KTVU) More than two years after 2 Investigates first exposed unsanitary and unsafe conditions at the trouble Empyrean Towers hotel in Oakland, the property is now one step closer to being rehabilitated.
The City Council on Tuesday night approved a resolution giving the city authorization to negotiate a deal to have the property deemed a historical site, through the California State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). That would free up funds as part of the rehabilitation process.
According to the proposal, the purpose of entering into the Agreement is to minimize, reduce or avoid adverse effects on the historic building while it is being rehabilitated and eventually sold to a non-profit that plans to turn it into affordable housing.
