CRESTVIEW With the goal of creating space for safe, affordable housing, city officials hope to soon see old, rickety houses in a high-crime part of town demolished and cleared away.
The Crestview City Council in March unanimously approved paying a little more than $106,000 to local businessman Jay Woodbury for the purchase of eight residential lots.
Four of the parcels are vacant lots on North Savage Street, and four contain a total of six houses, all of which will be razed, on West Bowers and West Field avenues.
“We’ve had a very high call volume (for police assistance) within this Field-Bowers’ area,” City Manager Tim Bolduc said recently. “So it’s taking something that’s currently being used that way and then turning it into something that is legitimate and affordable housing. We can make sure that we provide housing for our citizens, but that we’re doing it in a way where it’s safe for them to live in.”

Warnings: Implied violence, mature themes, some F-bombs.
I don’t wish to alarm you, but this play takes place in the future.
At least, I think so. Fitting with the absurd style of Pinter, the audience is given no clear sense of place or time, The colour scheme is monochromatic; costumes and set alike are, for the most part, silver, white, or black. This colour choice, combined with the clean lines of the set, paints a scene both futuristic, and austere. One scene change in particular lights an actor’s face by an iPad alone – this, combined with a classical piano score as background music, is the perfect combination of timeless elegance and futurism.
