I first heard about Beato after stumbling onto his YouTube channel. During the pandemic, for example, many music fans migrated to the internet to watch various forms of music because live music was off-limits. “I still feel at 60 the same way I did when I was 14,” he said recently in a YouTube video. His face lights up when he talks about his family on his YouTube channel. “My YouTube Channel was a way to honor my parents and leave something for my kids.

The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse is located in Ohio and overlooks Lake Erie. The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse in Ohio became available at auction and Consaul started bidding in 2009. Since buying the lighthouse, Consaul estimates she has spent over $300,000 renovating it. Other than the extensive work the lighthouse needed, Consaul says her biggest challenge so far is that the lighthouse is completely off the grid. The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse is located a half mile from the nearest parking lot in Headlands Beach State Park.

Alista Lineburg is not a lawyer, but she assumed the role when she couldn’t find one to help her discharge $146,000 of federal student debt in bankruptcy. Ms. Lineburg, 49, knows this all too well. “The attorney called and she said, ‘You can’t win this,’” Ms. Lineburg recalled. “I feel like I can finally get ahead,” said Ms. Lineburg, who lives in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. Unlike credit card, medical and other consumer debts, student loans don’t automatically disappear in bankruptcy.

An Airbnb host photographed the checkout chore list at an Ohio VRBO she stayed in this month. During a recent stay in home she booked via vacation-rental site VRBO in Cleveland, Ohio, she encountered a list of chores to be completed before checkout. She photographed the sign and shared it with other short-term-rental hosts on Facebook, where her post received hundreds of comments. We just weren't going to do hours and hours of laundry. I understand it's impossible for a cleaning person to do hours and hours of laundry in a single day.

Most Southwest Airlines flights aren't going anywhere, but frustration levels for scores of travelers across the country are soaring.

More than 3,500 flights scheduled to leave Wednesday have already been canceled, with Southwest constituting about 70% of those cancellations, according to FlightAware. He said he couldn't find another seat on a Southwest flight to Dallas until Monday. But unlike some Southwest customers, she has loved ones she can lean on for accommodations.
