As the summer days get hotter and hotter, Kansas City movers want new residents to know about the one spot that most residents may not even be aware of. All locals know that there are plenty of lakes in Missouri; however, with the amount of people who flock to these popular lakes to boat, swim and ski, it leaves little to no room for enjoyment.

A suggestion from Alyssa Barnes with Barnes Realty, “If you’re tired of the crowds and congestion of the lakes south of Kansas City, maybe you should investigate Big Lake in rural Northwest Missouri.”

The problem with Big Lake is that no one knows where it is, at least most people don’t. If you are moving to Kansas City, you are in luck because local movers and Barnes are sharing Missouri’s best kept secret – the location of Big Lake!

“It’s about three and a half miles long and offers some of the best boating, skiing and fishing you’ll find in the state,” Barnes said. “It is smooth enough for barefoot skiing. Unlike the large impounded, man-made lakes in Missouri, you own property right up to the shoreline on a level, generally shaded lot without all the restrictions and covenants.”

Big Lake is located just west of Mount City in Holt County, and the property owners in the area are so friendly, they treat each other like family. If you are looking for the perfect place to move to in Missouri that is not too far from Kansas City, Mount City is the neighborhood where you will feel right at home!

This summer, take a break from moving and check out Mount City’s best kept secret – Big Lake!

If you or your family are planning on moving to Memphis this summer, you may be in for some sporadic and wild Memphis weather! Although fascinating, Memphis movers want you to be prepared for the uncommon conditions the weather may bring this season.

Here are 3 weather events that Meteorologist Andrew Kozak says you may experience this season after moving to Memphis:

1. Fire Rainbows – Just as the name suggests, this weather event looks like a rainbow that has been lit on fire. The flames of rainbow color are caused by the sun shining though extremely high cirrus clouds that are high in ice-crystal content. Because of the shape of the cirrus clouds the sun is shining through, it creates a rainbow in the shape of flames.
2. Sun Dogs – If you are moving to Memphis this summer, keep your eye peeled for this uncommon weather event that most likely occurs when the sun is setting. While the sun is low on the horizon, it can appear to have a halo around it. Sun dogs are an effect of ice crystals in the atmosphere around the sun. The ice crystals cause light to bend around the sun, therefore creating a halo around it.
3. Green Rays – While watching a sunrise or sunset from your new home, Memphis movers suggest looking out for a ray or flash of green light that only lasts a few seconds. This green glow located on the top of a sunrise or sunset is caused by refraction (or the bending of light).

Recently, the National Register of Historic Places has added new properties – including one 1925 Tulsa apartment. In fact, four Oklahoma properties have been added to the register, including the Elizabeth Manor apartment in Tulsa, the C.A. Comer House in Dewey, the Hays-Kennedy/Rivoli Theater in downtown Blackwell and the Czech Hall of Oklahoma City.

In order for a property to be added to the National Register of Historic Places, a property must meet the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. This includes analyzing the property’s age, integrity and significance. A property must be at least 50 years old in order to even be considered historic, and it must look similar to how it did in the past. Along with that, the property in question must have been important relative to events that happened in the past, or associated with the lives of people who were important in the past.

Described as Late Gothic Revival/Collegiate Gothic-style structure, the Elizabeth Manor is a three-story building near Veterans Park. According to the Tulsa Preservation Commission, “Elizabeth Manor is an excellent representation of the apartment house construction boom in Tulsa during the 1920s.”

Nonetheless, those history buffs planning on using Tulsa movers to relocate to Oklahoma in the near future have much reason to celebrate. Not only does being listed on the National Register provide recognition, but it also offers protection that will help preserve the building from potentially being destroyed in order to build new buildings on top of it.

If you are like many of us, you probably have old, unused medication sitting somewhere in the back of your medicine cabinet because you are not exactly sure what to do with it. Well, now that you are packing for your move to Milwaukee use these helpful tips on how to dispose of old medication so you don’t bring it with you to your new home.

1. Always check a medication’s label first to see if it has instructions for disposal. If the label indicates how to dispose of the medication, follow those steps. Properly discarding medication is important for the environment and also keeps prescription drugs out of the wrong hands before you move to Milwaukee.
2. If your old or unused medication label doesn’t indicate instructions for disposal, call your local community center and ask if they have a medication disposal system. Many cities and communities collect used and unwanted medications at a central location during a “Drug Take-Back Day” and dispose of everything in an environmentally safe manner.
3. If your community is not offering a “Drug Take-Back Day” or a “Pill Drop” before you move to Milwaukee, you can safely dispose of your unused or unwanted medication by doing the following: Remove medication from labeled container, use a permanent marker to black out all information on the bottle and dispose of the bottle in the garbage. Next, mix medication with an undesired substance such as coffee grounds or kitty litter and place mixture in a sealed plastic bag or container. Discard this mixture in the garbage before you move to Milwaukee.

Do you want to know one of the best things about moving to West Palm Beach? All the delicious burgers to choose from of course!

Year after year, your local West Palm movers are responsible for bringing thousands of families to South Florida, and each time they have the pleasure of revealing one of the best things about West Palm Beach – the burgers! While burgers are delicious enough on their own, you can’t forget about the fries that come on the side as well.

While there are many awesome burgers and sides that you can find in South Florida, these are some of your local West Palm’s moving company’s favorites.

The Brass Ring Pub

According to owner Bret Worcester, the patties at this restaurant are cooked and unseasoned over lava rocks on a char-grill. He shares that “the drippings season the grill.” After all, with a business that has been doing this for over 29 years, you have to trust that they are doing something right!

Buccan

When you walk in you are immediately hit with the scent of a smoky scent, and that is what keeps on drawing locals back for more. One of the few restaurants that serves their prime beef burgers after cooking if on a wood-fired grill, Buccan tops off the already perfect burger with a side of house-made brioche and delicious fries. Yes please!

The Cooper

Imagine an 8-ounce, butchers-blend patty with aged Vermont chedder, secret sauce and the usual vegetables, and then tuck it into a griddled challah bun – and voila! You have one of the best-tasting burgers that West Palm Beach can offer.

The Bright New Leaders for Ohio Schools program is making headlines across the state by training the leaders of tomorrow. The state-funded program trains future principals on how to turn around low-income schools, which is good news for current Ohio residents and anyone who is looking to move to Columbus.

Serving as a joint effort between the Ohio Business Roundtable, the Ohio Department of Education, and Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, the state program works to train principals to be better equipped at handling some of Ohio’s toughest schools. If all turns out well, principals should be able to enter into these schools and increase or benefit the academic standard of the school, which would increase the schools’ overall moral as well. Columbus movers hope that the statewide effort makes the state more appealing to move to, since schools will potentially move up in grade and academic progress.

During the first year of the program, there were 850 applicants but only 200 moved forward. The program works towards a master’s of business administration, allows applicants to receive a $2,500 monthly stipend, shadow principals, and be linked with a master teacher for lesson planning and instruction.

Richard A. Stoff, president and CEO of the Roundtable, said that, “We believe leadership is leadership, and it’s time to begin trying some new and innovative school techniques to train school leaders.”

If you are moving to Columbus, please be aware of the state’s school initiatives and make sure to research the school districts and grades before you select a school for your child.

This year, the race is expanding to Ohio University, where it is teaming up with the university’s School of Nursing to “put a pink paw into southeast Ohio,” according to 10TV.

Executive Director Katie Carter explains that this part of Ohio is critical in the fight against breast cancer by stating, “I think it’s a big deal because it’s away from Columbus, we have 30 counties that we serve. It gives people the opportunity to come from other counties and get involved in an event that we celebrate every year. Columbus has been the largest race for the cure, why not add another!”

The Komen Athens Race for the Cure will take place on Sunday, October 25^th at 12 p.m. and this year, attendees can use the hashtag #NewAtKomen for their social media sharing. You can register online at columbus.info-komen.org as an individual, a team, or join an existing team. The 2015 goal is to have 35,000 people register and raise $50,000. So if you are moving to Columbus, this is the perfect way to get involved in the community and serve the great cause of creating awareness while raising funds for breast cancer.
