It’s common to refer to a flick as a good “date movie,” but Nate Rufus Edelman’s Desert Rats is a great “date play.” Another thing I’ve never written before in a theater review is that this 90 minute tense drama with sharp dialogue and behavior featuring underclass criminal characters would make for a perfect film directed by Quentin Tarantino, such as Reservoir Dogs. Indeed, the dramatis personae are very Tarantino-esque, and all of the twists and turns in this underworld milieu are reminiscent of an Elmore Leonard novel.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- China is constructing seaports at two sites where
the U.S. 6th Fleet deploys, in Haifa next to Israel's main naval base
and Ashdod near Tel Aviv, prompting concerns about China's military
potential in the Mediterranean Sea and Middle East.

"The civilian [Chinese] port in Haifa abuts the exit route from the
adjacent [Israeli] navy base, where the Israeli submarine fleet is
stationed and which, according to foreign media reports, maintains a
second-strike capability to launch nuclear missiles," Israel's Haaretz
media reported.

"No one in Israel thought about the strategic ramifications," Haaretz
said in September.

The guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke visited Haifa on
October 25 in support of the 6th Fleet which is headquartered in
Naples, Italy.

Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) signed the Haifa contract in
2015, began construction in June, and is to operate the Bayport
Terminal for 25 years starting from 2021.

SIPG signed memorandums of understanding with U.S. ports in Seattle,

A luxury apartment offering beautiful views of 70 West is framed by two massive water tanks. Just a short stroll away from fine dining at Bob Evans – but be careful, because there’s no crosswalk.

And don’t forget the amenities and convenience of two nearby gas stations.

Luxury apartments are sprouting up in the damnedest of places around town. Everywhere you look developers are building complexes where a cavernous 400-sq-ft pad goes for a cool $1,300-a-month and a 775-sq-ft two bedroom for an affordable $2,400/month.

Out west on the Columbus-Hilliard border it gets no weirder than the complex being built on Fisher Road. Many of the apartments will be mere feet from two city water tanks. It will be called Austin Place, built and managed by the locally-owned Donald R. Kenney & Company Realty.

Right next to Austin Place are the luxury apartments of Andover Park, where you have easy access to the sweet sounds of 70 West as well as your next door neighbor’s life considering many residents have complained online how thin (and cheap) the walls are.
