A fire that broke out at an apartment complex in Harlingen on Monday is under investigation, said Harlingen Fire Chief Rafael Balderas.
The fire happened at the Sierra Apartments, located along the 2900 block of Haine Drive. Officials said nobody was inside the apartments. We have an idea where it started, Balderas said. We have to go in there and actually take a look at all the evidence that we could find in there and come up with a determination. Sometimes it ll turn out to be undetermined, but we re going to try to figure out what it is that occurred.
THE former Sinalco and Kickapoo Joy Juice bottling factory site in Petaling Jaya’s Section 13 is believed to have set a new record for industrial land transactions in the area following its sale to a Penang-based property developer.
Singapore-based National Aerated Water Co (KL) Sdn Bhd has disposed of the site to GSD Land (M) Sdn Bhd for RM46 million, according to sources. The deal works out to RM514 psf a new high for industrial land transactions (now zoned for mixed commercial) in the area. Real estate agents say the deal was agreed upon prior to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The bottling plant, which ceased operations over a decade ago, sits on 2.06 acres or 89,560 sq ft of leasehold land. Called Lot 54, it was put up for sale in late 2019 with 41 years remaining on the lease, now reduced to 39 years come April.

Gross sexual imposition and felonious assault were just two of the offenses brought before the Washington County Grand Jury this week.
Jason Dean Lanning, 37, of 105 Melody Lane, Marietta, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault, both second-degree felonies, after he allegedly pistol whipped a man and tried to run him over with a vehicle.
According to Marietta Police reports, units were dispatched Nov. 18 to 840 Pike St., Sierra Apartments, in reference to an assault. Contact was made with the victims and other witnesses. Through the investigation, it was found that Lanning had arrived at the apartment parking lot and got into a verbal argument that escalated into a gun being pulled and the victim being pistol whipped by Lanning.
