September 9, 2022

You smiled as you looked at the sign to your right.

Welcome to Cincinnati.

You finally arrived to your new home.

After years and years of traveling around the country, trying to find the perfect place to call home, you finally settled on Cincinnati, Ohio. Why Cincinnati you may ask? Well, hell, you guess there really isn't a reason why you chose Cincinnati. You visited the city once during a work trip for the company you used to work for and you ended up loving it.

You are moving to Cincinnati from Phoenix, Arizona. You used to work as a journalist for a fashion magazine. It was based in Arizona, but you spent your time traveling all across the country to write about new fashion trends, tips, and pretty much anything and everything that had to do with fashion. It was a fun job, but in late August you decided you needed a change. So you quit. You’d been working for them since you graduated from college, which was almost four years ago. It was time to move on.

So here you are, ready to start your new life in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You have no clue what you’ll do with your life while you’re here, but you have a feeling you’ll enjoy it—whatever it is you decide to do.

You pull into the parking lot of the apartment complex you are going to rent from for the next year.

Echelon Luxury Apartments.

You were afraid you wouldn't be able to afford one of these apartments, considering they are luxury. But the landlord told you there were many options in order to make your rent more affordable. You would be signing a lease for a two bedroom apartment. The catch, you have to have a roommate. Considering that you know absolutely nobody and you mean nobody in Cincinnati, you’ll have to sign onto a lease with a complete stranger.

What's the worse that could happen?

You cant imagine any roommate could be any worse than your dorm roommate freshman year of college.

Oh my lord. That girl was absolutely crazy. But, that's a story for another time.

You put your car into park and gather any paper work you may need in order to sign this lease. You weren’t even sure if you needed to bring anything, but you figured It's better to be safe than sorry. Getting out of your car, you walk into the front office. There was an older woman with brown hair and bright purple glasses sitting at the desk, looking at her computer. She looked up when she heard the bell at the door.

She smiled, "Hello. What can I do for you?"

You walked up to the desk, smiling, "Hi. I'm here to sign my lease. We talked on the phone last week?"

"Y/n?” she asked.

You nodded, "That's me."

"Awesome, yes, I have that right here." She said, grabbing a file off of her desk and placing it on the counter. She opened the file and pulled out the paperwork.

"So this," she held up a packet, "is general information about the apartment, what you can have, what you can't have, all that fun stuff." She placed it to the side.

"And this," she grabbed a pen, "is your lease. Sign on that line here and," she flipped a couple pages, "here."

You read through the papers. From reading, you found out your roommates name is Kayla. She's around your age and she's an elementary school teacher. She seems like she'd be sweet. To work with young kids, you have have to have a sweet personality. You got to the back page, where you needed to sign the lease. Without even thinking, you signed your name along the dotted line.

The woman smiled as she watched you sign. You put the pen down and handed her the paper.

"You're all set sweetie. Your move in day is tomorrow. Come anytime from noon to 3, please."

"Okay, sounds good. Thank you..."

"Carol."

"Thank you Carol," you smiled, "do I need to do anything else?"

She shook her head, "Nope. All that's left is moving in."

"Awesome, I'll see you tomorrow to get my key."

"Yep. Alright, bye bye hun."

You grabbed the packet she had given you and tucked it under your arm as you walked away. You wave good bye and thank her again before you go back out to your car. Once you’re in the car, you put the file into the glovebox. You pull your phone out and got on the GPS, looking for hotels nearby that you could stay the night since you don't move in to the apartment until tomorrow. Once you found a decent priced hotel room for one night, you pulled out of the parking lot and drove to the Marriott hotel you would be staying at.

As you drove, you couldn't help but get excited over the thought of moving in tomorrow.

You would finally be starting a new chapter of your life—and you couldn't wait.

What could possibly go wrong?

hey loves!!

this chapter was a little...all over the place, and super short. i apologize for that lol

my chapters aren't EVER this short, but i had to get things going! the next chapter though, that'll be much longer, and less boring, i PROMISE

Jaelynn Alston was brutally murdered in Phoenix, Arizona during January 2020. The teen had been reported missing on January 9th, 2020, after she fell out of touch with her family. A week later, Jaelynn's body was found inside an office building near 43rd Avenue and Indian School Road. She had suffered several extensive injuries and it appeared that she had been deceased for several days.

Jaelynn's family members describe her as an independent person who had aspirations of becoming a nurse. She had just recently celebrated her 18th birthday prior to her untimely death. According to her father, Jimmie Alston, Jaelynn's new status as a legal adult led to her independence growing further. It became normal for Jaelynn to come and go for a few days at a time - but she always kept in touch with her loved ones. 

Jaelynn was last seen by her family members around 11:00 PM on New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2019. Over the following few days, she kept in touch with her father via text and remained active on social media. Jaelynn's father last heard from her on January 5th, 2020. After that, she fell out of touch and stopped posting on social media. Her father reported her missing a few days later. 

On January 16th, 2020, a cleaning crew at the west Phoenix office building reported an odor coming from one of the rooms. The room was subsequently opened, and the body of a teen girl - later identified as Jaelynn - was found inside. It was clear that she had been the victim of a brutal murder. 

In 2021, it was reported that the man who leased the room where Jaelynn was found is considered a person of interest. However, this man has never been publicly identified. Since then, very few details about the investigation into Jaelynn's murder have been revealed.

Silent Witness is offering a $1000 reward for anyone with information that could lead to Jaelynn's killer(s). If you have any information that could help the investigation, please submit a tip.

For years, a Saudi Arabia-owned farm based in the U.S. has been using water for free in the drought-stricken state of Arizona.

The water has been used to grow alfalfa for livestock in the Gulf kingdom.

Arizona has decided to not renew the company’s leases following an investigation that found Fondomonte Arizona in violation of some of its lease terms.

Arizona governor Katie Hobbs said this week her administration is terminating state land leases that for years have given a Saudi-owned farm nearly unfettered access to pump groundwater in the dry southwestern state.

On Monday, Hobbs, a Democrat, said the state had canceled Fondomonte Arizona's lease in western Arizona's Butler Valley and would not renew three other leases up for renewal there next year.

An investigation by the governor's office found that the foreign-owned farm had violated some of its lease terms. Hobbs called it unacceptable that the farm "continued to pump unchecked amounts of groundwater out of our state while in clear default on their lease."

IN ARIZONA, FRESH SCRUTINY OF SAUDI-OWNED FARM'S WATER USE

Fondomonte Arizona, a subsidiary of Saudi dairy giant Almarai Co., grows alfalfa in Arizona that feeds livestock in the water-stressed Gulf kingdom.

Through a spokesperson, Fondomonte said it would appeal the governor's decision to terminate its 640-acre lease in Butler Valley. Altogether, Fondomonte farmed about 3,500 acres in the rugged desert area west of Phoenix.

Fondomonte raised eyebrows when in 2014 it purchased nearly 10,000 acres of land for $47.5 million about 20 miles away from Butler Valley in Vicksburg, Arizona. Since then, worsening drought in Arizona has brought renewed attention to the company's water use and the broader issues of foreign-owned farms and groundwater pumping.

The violations the governor's office detailed relate to the company's storage of hazardous materials, among other issues. On Monday, Hobbs' office said that Fondomonte was notified of the violations in 2016, but an investigation in August found the company had not fixed the problem seven years later. That gave Arizona's State Land Department grounds to terminate the lease.

The Arizona governor's office said the State Land Department decided not to renew three other leases the company had in Butler Valley due to the "excessive amounts of water being pumped from the land — free of charge."

The department manages land owned by Arizona, which in Fondomonte's case, had been leased to the company. Butler Valley's groundwater is especially important because of state law that in theory allows for it to be pumped elsewhere. That makes its water of interest to cities like Phoenix, also dealing with water supply-related stress and a fast-growing population.

FRESH SCRUTINY ARISES AS ARIZONA ALLOWS SAUDI-OWNED FARM TO USE FREE WATER FOR FOREIGN PURPOSES

In Arizona, cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have restrictions on how much groundwater they can pump under a 1980 state law aimed at protecting the state’s aquifers. But in rural areas, little is required of water users to pump from underground aquifers besides registering wells with the state and using the water for activities, including farming, that are deemed a "beneficial use."

Fondomonte also farms in Southern California’s Palo Verde Valley, an area that gets its water from the shrinking Colorado River. Those operations have attracted less scrutiny. Not all of Fondomonte's farms in Arizona are affected by the governor's decision. And it’s not the only foreign company farming in the Southwest. The United Arab Emirates-owned Al Dahra ACX Global Inc. grows forage crops in Arizona and California, and is a major North American exporter of hay.

Almarai’s holdings in the Southwest are just one example of the farmland the company and its subsidiaries operate outside Saudi Arabia. It farms tens of thousands of acres in Argentina, which has also faced severe drought conditions in recent years.

Foreign entities and individuals control roughly 3% of U.S. farmland, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Canada is the largest holder — mainly of forestland.

Kris Mayes, Arizona’s Democratic attorney general, praised the governor for cracking down on the foreign-owned farm.

In April, Mayes announced that the state had rescinded permits that would've allowed Fondomonte to drill new water wells after inconsistencies were found in its applications. On Monday, Mayes called the governor's actions a "step in the right direction," adding that the state should have acted sooner.

"The decision by the prior administration to allow foreign corporations to stick straws in the ground and pump unlimited amounts of groundwater to export alfalfa is scandalous," Mayes said.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes are officially headed to Salt Lake City.

The NHL Board of Governors voted unanimously Thursday to approve a $1.2 billion sale from Alex Meruelo to Utah Jazz owners Ryan and Ashley Smith, clearing the way for the franchise’s move to Utah next season.

The deal includes a provision for Arizona to get an expansion team if a new arena is built within the next five years. The deal will be facilitated through the NHL, with $200 million going to league owners as a relocation fee.

“We expressed our interest publicly with the NHL,” Ryan Smith told The Associated Press. “It’s probably been two years where we’ve said, ‘Hey, look, we really believe Utah can be an incredible hockey town.’ You look at all the demographics, we were just talking about the Olympics and you think about the Olympics coming back. It all kind of made sense.”

Smith will take over the franchise’s hockey operations and Meruelo will maintain his business operations in Arizona in an effort to secure and develop a tract of land for a new arena in north Phoenix.

Meruelo also retains ownership of the Tucson Roadrunners, the franchise’s AHL affiliate, and hopes to move them to Mullett Arena, the Coyotes’ temporary home shared with Arizona State University the past two seasons. He plans to pay back the $1 billion once an expansion team is approved.

“The NHL’s belief in Arizona has never wavered,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. “We thank Alex Meruelo for his commitment to the franchise and Arizona, and we fully support his ongoing efforts to secure a new home in the desert for the Coyotes. We also want to acknowledge the loyal hockey fans of Arizona, who have supported their team with dedication for nearly three decades while growing the game.”

Meruelo will retain the Coyotes’ name, logo and trademark, so Smith’s group will have to rename the team. The team will play at Delta Center, home of the Jazz, until a new arena can be built.

“We’ll start with Utah on the jersey and we’ll figure out the logo and everything else, and what it is that we are, but that’s a one-way door,” Smith said. “You’ve got to do it once. And with this timeline, I think both the league feels better and we feel better to just run the process and then we’ll drop it when we drop it.”

The sale ends the Coyotes’ long-running bid to find a permanent home.

The franchise shared an arena with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns after relocating from Winnipeg, moved to Glendale and ended up at Mullett Arena when the city of Glendale backed out of a lease agreement.

Meruelo had been adamant about not wanting to sell the team despite receiving numerous offers since buying the team in 2019. When an auction for the land in north Phoenix got pushed back to June, the Coyotes had no guarantee a deal for a new arena would go through.

With the NHL and players’ association hesitant for the Coyotes to play at 5,000-seat Mullett Arena for a third season, Meruelo opted to sell the team, his focus shifting to the new arena and expansion team.

“I agree with Commissioner Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League, that it is simply unfair to continue to have our players, coaches, hockey front office, and the NHL teams they compete against, spend several more years playing in an arena that is not suited for NHL hockey,” Meruelo said in a statement. “But this is not the end for NHL hockey in Arizona. I have negotiated the right to reactivate the team within the next five years, and have retained ownership of the beloved Coyotes name, brand and logo. I remain committed to this community and to building a first-class sports arena and entertainment district without seeking financial support from the public.”

The Coyotes played their final game in Arizona on Wednesday night, a 5-2 win over the playoff-bound Edmonton Oilers. The players celebrated on the ice with team personnel and a few handed their sticks over the glass to fans, who chanted “We love you Coy-otes!”

“It’s tough to take it all in,” Coyotes rookie forward Logan Cooley said. “A lot of noise, a lot of personal stuff and obviously the organization, you hear you’re going one spot then you’re going to the next spot. We’ve done a good job in this locker room focusing on keeping out the noise and getting better as a team, striving to be the team we want to be one day.”

Officials from Salt Lake City and the city’s 2034 Olympic bid supported Smith’s attempt to bring hockey to Utah, giving the state two major professional franchises.

“This announcement is about more than bringing an NHL team to Salt Lake City — it’s a defining moment in our trajectory, becoming a catalyst for a positive vision that integrates community, connection, and more possibilities for families, residents, and visitors to experience our capital city,” Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said in a statement. “I’m thankful for the close partnership with Ryan & Ashley Smith, and the entire SEG team. This is the beginning of a new era that will generate exciting opportunities for our communities, amplify pride and unlock new potential in our downtown core.”

POPPIN MORE BOTTLES TONIGHT

"James G. Watt, who as President Ronald Reagan’s first Interior secretary tilted environmental policies sharply toward commercial exploitation, touching off a national debate over the development or preservation of America’s public lands and resources, died on May 27 in Arizona. He was 85.

His son, Eric Watt, confirmed his death in a text message but declined to cite a cause.

After taking office in 1981, Mr. Watt was asked at a hearing of the House Interior Committee if he favored preserving wilderness areas for future generations. He had been picked by Reagan from a Denver legal foundation that had often challenged the rules and policies of the department he now headed. Critics called him a fox in the hen house.

Mr. Watt’s response startled some committee members, but seemed to explain his intention to ease restrictions on the use of millions of acres of public lands. “I do not know how many future generations we can count on before the Lord returns,” he said.

The remark was revealing. Mr. Watt, a born-again Christian and a lifelong Republican, saw himself as a servant of God and prayed with colleagues at work. But it raised questions over whether he would be motivated by conservative political judgments or religious convictions, or both.

It also hinted at a side of Mr. Watt that was not apparent at first: a verbal propensity to shoot himself in the foot. In unguarded moments over a 33-month tenure, he suggested that liberals were un-American and that the popular Beach Boys rock band was unwholesome. He likened his critics to Nazis and Bolsheviks, and insulted Black people, women, Jews and handicapped people.

In one of his first official pronouncements, Mr. Watt declared that Interior Department policies over years had swung too far toward conservation under the influence of “environmental extremists,” and away from the development of public resources that he said was needed for economic growth and national security.

He soon transferred control of many of the resources to private industry, restoring what he regarded as a proper balance to the nation’s patrimony. He opened most of the Outer Continental Shelf — nearly all of America’s coastal waters — to drilling leases by oil and gas companies. He widened access to coal on federal lands, and eased restrictions on strip-mining, which scarred landscapes and was cheaper than cutting deep mine shafts.

He increased industry access to wilderness areas for drilling, mineral mining and lumbering; gave private owners of hotels, restaurants and shops wider rights in national parks; curtailed the program to protect endangered species; cut funds to acquire land for national and state parks; and added money to build roads, bridges, hotels and other man-made structures in the parks."

In rural Arizona’s La Paz County, on the state’s rugged border with California, the decision by a Saudi-owned dairy company to grow alfalfa in the American Southwest for livestock in the Gulf kingdom first raised eyebrows nearly a decade ago. Now, worsening drought has focused new attention on the company and whether Arizona should be doing more to protect its groundwater resources.

Amid a broader investigation by the state attorney general, Arizona last week rescinded a pair of permits that would have allowed Fondomonte Arizona, a subsidiary of Almarai Co., to drill more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) into the water table to pump up to 3,000 gallons (11 kiloliters) of water per minute to irrigate its forage crops.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Attorney General Kris Mayes said she thought most Arizonans see it as “outrageous” that the state is allowing foreign-owned companies “to stick a straw in our ground and use our water for free to grow alfalfa and send it home to Saudi Arabia. We just can’t — in the midst of an epic drought — afford to do dumb things with water in the state of Arizona anymore.”

Mayes, a Democrat, sought the revocations after she said her office had found inconsistencies in the permit applications. Mayes vowed to look into Fondomonte’s operations and water use last year after the Arizona Republic reported that the Arizona State Land Department leased the company thousands of acres of farmland for below market value.

Fondomonte did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the AP. Its lawyers have said previously that the company legally leased and purchased land in the U.S. and spent millions on infrastructure improvements.

Years of drought have ratcheted up pressure on water users across the West, particularly in states like Arizona, which relies heavily on the dwindling Colorado River. The drought has also made groundwater — long used by farmers and rural residents with little restriction — even more important for users across the state.

Saudi Arabia, struggling with its own water shortages in the past decade, restricted the growth of some forage crops in the country. That Fondomonte chose Arizona as a place to grow such crops has angered some in the state, which has faced two consecutive years of federal water cuts from the Colorado River, a primary water source for the state.

Officials from both parties have criticized the use of state water by foreign-owned entities, with Gov. Katie Hobbs, also a Democrat, saying in her January state of the state address that she, too, would look into the practice. The state’s groundwater, Hobbs said, “should be used to support Arizonans, not foreign business interests.”

That same month, Republican state legislators introduced a bill to prohibit sales of state lands to foreign governments, state enterprises and any company based in China, Russia or Saudi Arabia.

“There’s a perception that water goes to local uses,” said Andrew Curley, a professor of geography and the environment at the University of Arizona. “When you recognize it’s going far away, that the products and benefits of this water are exported overseas, that really provokes people’s attention.”

Foreign entities and individuals control roughly 3% of U.S. farmland, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Canada is the largest holder — mainly of forestland. Fourteen U.S. states have restrictions on foreign individuals or entities owning farmland, but limitations vary widely and no state completely prohibits it.

Fondomonte also farms in California’s Palo Verde Valley, an area that gets its water from the Colorado River. Those operations have attracted less scrutiny. And it’s not the only foreign company that farms in the Southwest. The United Arab Emirates-owned Al Dahra ACX Global Inc. grows forage crops in Arizona and California, and is a major North American exporter of hay.

U.S. farmers themselves export hay and other forage crops to the Middle East — mainly to Saudi Arabia. China is the primary export market for U.S. hay.

In Arizona, renewed attention to Fondomonte’s water use is raising questions about the state’s lack of regulation around pumping groundwater in rural parts of the state.

Phoenix, Tucson and other Arizona cities have restrictions on how much groundwater they can pump under a 1980 state law aimed at protecting the state’s aquifers. But in rural areas, little is required of water users besides registering wells with the state and using the water for activities, including farming that are deemed a “beneficial use.”

“Frankly, I believe they are not doing their jobs,” Mayes said about Arizona’s Department of Water Resources’ oversight of rural areas. The Department declined to comment on the revoked drilling permits or the need for more groundwater regulation.

Mayes, along with hydrologists and environmental advocates, says more studies are needed of groundwater basins in rural areas — such as La Paz County, an agricultural county of about 16,000 people. Currently, Arizona doesn’t measure how much groundwater users pump in such areas, which means there is little understanding of how much water an operation like Fondomonte — or other farms — uses.

Almarai’s holdings in the Southwest are just one example of the farmland the company and its subsidiaries operate outside Saudi Arabia. It farms tens of thousands of acres in Argentina, which has also faced severe drought conditions in recent years.

Holly Irwin, a member of the La Paz County Board of Supervisors, has long opposed Fondomonte using water in the county. She said she’s fielded complaints from residents for years that it’s getting harder to pump water in nearby wells and has repeatedly asked the state to do something about it.

“We need to have some sort of regulation so it’s not all just being pumped out of the ground,” Irwin said.

The Timeshare Industry: A Lack of Consumer Protection Exposes Vulnerabilities

The Need for Stronger Regulations and Transparency in the Timeshare Market

The timeshare industry, a significant segment of the hospitality sector, has seen a surge in sales and ownership over the past decade. However, this growth has also exposed significant deficiencies in consumer protection for those looking to purchase, lease, or exit their timeshare contracts. With an increasing number of consumers facing financial burdens and deceptive practices, it is clear that the current landscape of the timeshare industry requires urgent attention and reform.

The Timeshare Obligation

A timeshare purchase agreement creates a non-cancellable lifetime obligation for buyers, who pay tens of thousands of dollars for an interval at a resort condominium. In addition to the initial purchase cost, buyers are required to pay annual maintenance fees and property taxes. These fees can increase by an average of 5% per year, making it difficult for consumers, especially the elderly on fixed incomes, to keep up with the rising costs.

This financial burden often leads consumers to attempt to sell their timeshares, only to find that the market is oversaturated and the value of their investment is virtually nonexistent.

As a result, fraudulent schemes have emerged, targeting desperate consumers seeking to exit their contracts. "Timeshare exit companies" promise to help consumers escape their timeshare contracts but often charge exorbitant fees without delivering on their promises. These companies may even provide harmful advice, such as advising consumers to stop making maintenance fee payments, which can negatively impact their credit scores and future financial prospects.

Timeshare Regulation

Despite the significant financial commitment involved in timeshare contracts, most states lack sufficient disclosure rules to inform consumers of the lifelong financial obligations they are signing up for. Unlike other long-term financial obligations, such as mortgages and auto loans, timeshare contracts often lack transparent disclosure statements. This lack of transparency allows some in the industry to rely on aggressive sales tactics and verbal misinformation to secure sales.

Furthermore, consumers often report being pressured into signing contracts on the spot, with sales representatives utilizing high-pressure tactics and withholding important information. Misleading contract language and inadequate disclosures contribute to the confusion and dissatisfaction experienced by many timeshare owners.

Timeshare Regulation Efforts in Arizona

In Arizona, the Attorney General's Office has taken steps to address the issues plaguing the timeshare industry. In 2019, a bill was introduced to provide additional protections for timeshare purchasers. While the final bill was significantly weakened due to lobbying efforts, it did extend the cancellation period from seven to ten days and required additional disclosures before purchase.

The Arizona Attorney General's Office has also taken legal action against individual timeshare companies. A settlement reached with Diamond Resorts in 2016 allowed consumers who had been misled by the company to exit their timeshare contracts. This provision saved Arizona consumers an estimated $25 million in future timeshare fees.

Additionally, the Arizona Attorney General's Office has worked with law enforcement officials to combat resale scams and issued consumer advisories to raise awareness about these fraudulent practices.

The lack of consumer protection in the timeshare industry has left many purchasers vulnerable to financial burdens and deceptive practices. It is crucial for states to propose legislation that addresses these issues and conducts thorough investigations into timeshare companies with numerous consumer complaints. Stronger regulations, transparency, and enforcement efforts are necessary to ensure that consumers are adequately informed and protected in the timeshare market.

S. JON KREEDMAN & CO. (Photo taken by me in Beverly Hills on December 28, 2022).

Kreedman was born in 1921. He was “a carpenter from Detroit who had become a major developer in Southern California. [He] had learned construction as a teenager from his father and settled in Los Angeles” in 1941 (Pawel, Miriam. The Browns of California: The Family Dynasty that Transformed a State and Shaped a Nation, Bloomsbury Publishing USA, 2018). Before serving in the military during World War II, he built homes for a year and after worked his way up in the trade, starting S. Jon Kreedman & Co. in 1948 and registering their articles of incorporation on April 1, 1948, the corporation being inactive currently. Their address was 9601 Wilshire Blvd., Rm. #340, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Kreedman was the President and James P Garity was the ‘Agent’ (bizstanding.com).

According to J. Marx Ayres’s autobiography, Kreedman “started with small office buildings and grew into developing large buildings along Wilshire Blvd.” Ayres worked with Kreedman as a mechanical engineer “on six high-rise office buildings including the 30-story ‘One Wilshire’ building at Grand Ave.” (Ayres, J. Marx. Red Diaper Baby Mid-Life Transitions: An Autobiography of J. Marx Ayres, 1946-2011, Trafford Publishing, 2012). He often purchased land for his projects and leased the units before he even began construction (Oliver, Myrna. ”S. Jon Kreedman; Real Estate Developer.” Los Angeles Times, November 8, 1999).

In 1956, he built a 171-unit complex, which were the first skyscraper apartments in Beverly Hills (LA Times).

In 1958, they were listed in a Directory of Arizona Contractors (Arizona Registrar of Contractors), though with their Beverly Hills, CA address of 9350 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 412, Beverly Hills, CA (17215). The above photo is of a drawing for a “six-story office building for Canon Drive and Clifton Way, Beverly Hills -- Two parking levels to be included in $750,000 concrete structure” from the Examiner, dated March 23, 1959 (USCLibraries).

The following year, Fortune magazine named him one of the 100 largest builders in the country. He built 9171 Wilshire Blvd. in that same year, as listed in the City of Beverly Hills Planning Division Cultural Heritage Commission Report from 2019. He also worked on Redondo Beach, California’s Plush Horse Inn and Encino Medical Sqaure (no longer exists). The Plush Horse Inn has an interesting history which you can read about at the South Bay History blog. The building has been significantly remodeled as is now a branch of Bristol Farms since 2000.

Around the same time he worked on the Central Lanai & Carribean (sic) apartment complexes in Phoenix, Arizona. Undated records have him being involved with a six-unit apartment building at 442 S. Oakhurst Dr. in Beverly Hills, a 13-unit apartment building at 234 S. Hamilton Dr. in Beverly Hills, a 30-unit apartment building at 120 S. Crescent Dr. in Beverly Hills (by this is probably where I took the above photo), and a 16-unit apartment building at 5210 Romaine St. in Los Angeles. (Online Archive of California Finding Aid for the Samuel Reisbord papers, 1923-circa 1976.)

He was builder and owner of the 10-story United California Bank building at Camden Dr. and Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills, CA in the early 1960s. There was a cave-in at the construction site, which Kreedman attributed to a broken water main (not sure how to cite a description of a photo but it’s from the description of order number 00103219 in TESSA Digital Collections of the Los Angeles Public Library).

In 1961, California’s Governor Pat Brown appointed him to the Advisory Commission on Housing Problems (Wikipedia).

By 1962, “he controlled US $50 million of real estate” (Wikipedia) and “Kreedman Realty & Construction Corp., 9350 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hilla, Calif., filed a regislration statement (File 2-20263) with the SEC seeking registration of $5,000,000 of convertible subordinated debentures due 1982 and 200,000 shares of common stock, to be offered for public sale in units consisting of $25 of debentures and one common share. A major portion of the net proceeds from this financing will be used to repay current indebtedness incurred or to be incurred in connection with the company's construction of the United California Bank Building, Beverly Hills, and the Crenshaw Medical Arts Centre, Los Angeles” (SEC News Digest, 04-20-1962).

He placed ads in the Directory of Members, Los Angeles County medical Association, 1961 and the California Yearbook, Volume 2, Issue 1, Democratic State Central Committee of California, 1963. Unfortunately, also in 1963, his wife, Thelma, filed for divorce claiming “extreme cruelty” (Independent, pg. 2, Long Beach, California, July 26, 1963).

From 1963-1983, Kreedman also served as chairman of the American City Bank, which he had also founded. It was the LA area’s largest independent bank at one time, with seven branches in Southern California (Wikipedia), but ended with Kreedman losing his initial investment when it was shut down by the State Banking Department for exhausting “its resources due to substantial loan and operating losses” and was acquired by United Overseas Bank (UPI Archives, February 25, 1983).

“In 1967, the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration invited [him] to lecture on his entrepreneur role in helping to finance and build modern Southern California” (LA Times). According to Wikipedia, he had also been invited to give a lecture about the construction industry at UCLA in 1960.

In 1970, he refurbished the Alexandria Hotel (1905), which he had purchased in 1961, in downtown Los Angeles.

In 1973, his conversion of Century Towers to condominiums was one of the first in the city of Los Angeles and it’s largest luxury condominium property. Karen Carpenter purchased two of the condos and combined them into a duplex for herself in 1976 (The Century Towers - Wikipedia).

In 1979, Governor Jerry Brown appointed Kreedman to the board of directors of the state Public Employees Retirement System. By then, he was already known as a philanthropist “and supporter of Democratic political causes, having campaigned for the 1969 re-election of Mayor Sam Yorty in Los Angeles and serving as co-chairman of Brown’s 1973 campaign for CA governor. Kreedman’s charities included the Variety Club of Southern California and its work with handicapped and underprivileged children, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the City of Hope cancer research and treatment center, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Israel Bonds Organization. He was also a board member of the Los Angeles city employees retirement system” (LA Times) and collected vintage cars (Wikipedia).

He died at age 78 after a long illness on November 5, 1999 in Los Angeles. He was survived by his wife, Marlene; daughter, Barbara; and a son, Dale (LA Times).

His wife was featured in the Beverly Hills Courier’s April 12, 2012 issue.
