I am reading this thread and am in zone 10b, wet and humid Southwest Florida. I have 1 Evelyn in the ground, and another in a 2 gal pot waiting to be planted. She has bloomed nicely in a pot that she should have been out of 2 months ago. I was hit by last years Hurricane Ian, so my pool cage was badly damaged, the roof shot, and all else, and that is why she is in the pot for I did not want workers trampling on her. I did however manage to keep the other one safe and secure while the roof was done. This rose is a diehard when grafted on Fortuniana. All roses I have are grafted this way except for the few Austins that I keep in pots that are not available on Fortuniana. I can say that her resistance to disease is just as good or better then my Firefighter, Pope John Paul, and Tiffany. I would also like to put in a shout for Abraham Darby, which may not be as disease resistant, but is doing great when planted properly and in a spot when Afternoon sun ends by 2 pm. I have Evelyn and Abraham planted 4 ft apart at the corner of the house and I could not be happier. It was 99 degrees yesterday and has been in the upper 90's for many weeks on end with heavy humidity. Evelyn laughs at this heat and chugs along kicking out blooms. She also has only been in the ground for 5 months so she will be better and stronger next summer when facing more of the same. Evelyns blooms are long lasting, even when left on the plant. I am getting a solid 4 - 5 days through this intense summer. This rose is at the top of my list for Austins along with A.D, and Munstead Wood.

LOL!

Like Salonva - Kenmore canister vacuums were my favorites for many years but they were difficult to maneuver in small areas and awkward on stairs. When my last Kenmore died I ordered my first Shark on a whim while watching QVC in 2015. I now have 4 Sharks - 2 at home and 2 at our vacation place. Some have suction control, some have the small powered mini brush which works great on stairs and my newest one (from 2019) also has LED lights on the wand. I really appreciate the ability to use the lift-away feature to vacuum under beds and furniture and I often pop the brush head off and just use the wand to do the baseboards. To avoid the doggy smell in vacuum cleaner bags I realized that I had to replace them even before they were full and that's one of the reasons that I switched to bagless. I abhor dog hair and I have a very hairy English lab so the thought of being without a working vacuum is the reason why I have a back-up at both places. Plus the added benefit of keeping one on both levels makes it easier to pull out of the closet to clean up a mess. Since they're bagless it's a snap to empty the dust bin into a plastic bag for disposal. They do a great job on carpet but to vacuum the fine dust from the hardwood floors I have to use the Dust Away floor attachment. When Maggie was a puppy we bought a Roomba and it worked well in the kitchen - except the dust bin was so tiny it quickly filled with dog hair and dust and needed to be emptied too frequently. That was 12 years ago and now you can get one that returns to the home station and empties itself. But I'm not willing to spend close to $1000 to try it. We have a mix of wool carpets, expensive silk Persian area rugs, lots of hardwood and tile in the bathrooms and I wish there were one vacuum that was perfect for all of them.

I don't know how the coop owning the land would benefit the coop. If the owner sells the land to someone who would want to RE-develop it, I would imagine that the shareholders in the building would have to be bought out ? Why would staying and having to pay an assessment like that make financial sense? I don't think you can mortgage assessments. I know someone who lived in an old tenement style building with tenants there for decades, including one who had been there so long their toilet was still not attached directly to their apartment. A developer bought most of the block, and the payout to several of the long term renters was over $1M each. (If the landlord was able to buy out remaining tenants at a cost of several million dollars, I can only imagine what he was paid by the developer for the building.
