Josele J. Saiz – Tour leader and expert in Morocco
Kevin Shaw – co - leader
Day 1 March 21
We assemble in plenty of time for our BA flight to Agadir, which takes off an hour late, but makes up the time thanks to a formidable tailwind; we are travelling at over 600kph! Harry has a smart tweed jacket, which by now might be on sale in the souk in Agadir, as he doesn't see it again after arrival…. Morocco looks beautiful from the air as we arrive; sandstone plains and plantations set against the backdrop of the high Atlas mountains, now to our north. Josele welcomes us, and we drive in pleasantly warm air to our comfortable hotel. Our drivers have a little trouble finding the place, but we enjoy the tour, getting our first experience of Moroccan driving, which can be invigorating, especially at roundabouts. Our drivers for the week are Saeed and Jamal, managed by Mushti, Josele's cheerful right-hand man.
Our hotel is very cosmopolitan, with a Moroccan style buffet and comfortable rooms. We have travelled far, so Beryl decides not to hit the casinos, and we all look forward to the next day's birding. New species await!
Day 2 March 22
Common Bulbul are noisy residents around the hotel, and although not exciting to look at, this thrush-sized bird makes its presence known vocally – by breakfast we have all seen it and most of us have a lifer before we have a juice. Freshly squeezed orange or a tasty whole orange is a welcome feature of many meals. House Buntings are also very common, soon clocked by most of the party before we leave the hotel, and are those Little Swifts? Some of us see them.
We drive through dusty streets and out into dusty countryside. If Morocco can find a market for exporting dust they will be very prosperous. People stand around, waiting for lifts to work or just waiting. Many of the men are dressed in traditional djellaba coats – they are cold in this temperature of around 75F. Birding gets under way as we travel to Sidi Wassay, and we see many Mauritanica Common Magpies – their blue bare skin spot behind the eye is very intriguing, and either now or later we all make sure we have seen it – it might be split into a separate species one day! There is a Hoopoe on a wire as we pass, Mick's first of many. We see Moussier's Redstart on a wire, but Josele isn't impressed – 'we will see plenty' – and we eventually stop in habitat which is to become familiar; semi-arid scrub with parched plants and earth. This habitat holds a surprising number of birds, and amongst the larks Rob skilfully picks out a motionless Stone Curlew. There are two algeriensis Southern Grey Shrikes here, their dark tones a real contrast to the very pale elegans race we see later in the week. Thekla and Crested Larks are common, and a specimen of each visits the group, allowing us to compare. ID of these very similar birds is slightly easier here than in Spain, because the Crested is much sandier than its European cousins. We study them carefully. The Thekla sings, giving us another pointer to identity. A leisurely walk through the Sous Massa National Park is a great way to spend the day, and Little Owl and Blue Rock Thrush greet us briefly as we get ready to wander by the river. Great birding here, as migrants are all around. We soon see Subalpine and Olivaceous Warblers, Chiffchaff and a female Moussier's Redstart. Black-crowned Tchagra is also an important addition. The bird is known to be shy, and Pat doesn't see it, but don't worry – this one isn't too shy, and soon she has it in full view – strongly patterned striped head, brown wings and grey body, long tail; we enjoy very good views. As we walk we see several Laughing Doves, and one is really special – the bird is sunning with one wing extended and we can all see the bluish wing panel, a really lovely little dove.
Next up is another lovely bird – a perfect male Moussier's Redstart really close to us! This is a key find, and although Peter R misses out due to being in the minibus, there is no need to worry; it is common and as Josele promised, we get good views many times. There are about 24 European Bee-eater overhead, and suddenly we are treated to an adult Bonelli's Eagle at close quarters. The bird wheels around for some minutes, and we all have time to study the key ID features; pale body, dark carpals, broad wings, powerful appearance – a Kestrel buzzes around bothering the eagle - great stuff! At the observation hide there are a few common waders, Spoonbill and a welcome Squacco Heron, but we are all enthralled by a large herpestidae-type animal, quickly identified as Egyptian Mongoose. This long-tailed, low-bodied creature busies around, coming very close to our hide before getting a whiff of birder and performing a detour around us.
Lunch is a lavish spread of sardines, ham, cheese, olives, tomatoes, garlic, onions and tasty, wholesome Moroccan bread, another welcome staple of our meals. Afterwards we head out towards Agadir when Harry is first to notice our first really key speciality – 13 Cream-coloured Coursers! We stop and scope the birds, then Kevin and Josele sprint behind them and lift them towards the group. This is possible because these birds rely on camouflage first, scuttling towards the waiting telescopes and giving excellent views of the blue-grey crown and sandy plumage. Seen extremely well by all, these are special views of a special bird. In effect coursers prove to be quite common on the trip, and we see three more groups today, with further sightings across the country as far as the Sahara.
A female Montagu's Harrier gives excellent views, its bouncy flight raising more coursers. We finish by the coast, hoping to see Red-necked Nightjar beside one of the King's palaces, but only Josele sees it. Some of us look at the rings of Saturn in Kevin's scope to complete a great day.
Day 3 March 23
A cloudy beginning as we take the coast road north. There are traffic policemen everywhere, they are on the lookout for illegal migrants passing through Morocco towards Europe, obviously a major problem from the sheer number of officers on the road. A group of gulls contains many Audouin's, and we chat at length about the local differences between Yellow-legged and Lesser Black-backed. Not easy to separate! Gannets and Common Raven give a taste of more northern coastlines. Four Barbary Partridge are spotted by Josele, and we park to catch sight of them escaping at high speed on foot and then flying over the rocky hillside.
Our stop to see Bald Ibis feeding is not graced by these exceptional birds, but we do see an Osprey repeatedly diving without success. There are lots of warblers and waders migrating here, including Kentish Plover, and we are delighted to see a powerful Lanner Falcon wheeling close by. An algeriensis shrike poses for photos, and we see Barbary Ground Squirrel for the first time. A colourful wedding party passes by on donkeys, and we see another fine male Moussier's.
After stopping to organise lunch, we proceed to the Bald Ibis breeding spot where we enjoy brief but memorable birding! The Ibis are clearly seen, as is a splendid Barbary Falcon sitting across and slightly below us, perfect for sightings of the brown crown. We watch the birds without disturbing them in the slightest, though a local SEO officer is already disturbed as we arrive. Lunch is a very enjoyable meal of chicken and bread with either lentils or beans, a taste of real Morocco!
In the afternoon we head west to our overnight stop at Taroudant, a very pleasant town in the semi-arid lands west of Agadir. We stop for larks, shrikes and wheatears, a regular feature of the next few days. A splendid buffet offers a vast choice; there are beers by the swimming pool and pleasant walks around the broad boulevards. A lovely place to rest for the night.
Day 4 March 24
Today's journey begins through well-tended farmland rich in birds. Black Kite fly overhead, there are Kestrels and both morphs of Booted Eagle, and we briefly see another Black-crowned Tchagra. We emerge into semi-arid scrubland with the anti-Atlas mountains providing a stunning backdrop. Another Lanner Falcon is sitting on a roadside pylon, and most of us see this pale bird as it lifts and flies away at great speed.
At Abu Louz (another view of the Sous River, this time well upstream), we enjoy great birding. Perhaps the highlight is an unexpectedly confiding Spotted Crake, although we also enjoy the fabulous sight of Red-rumped Swallow, House Bunting, Woodchat Shrike and Common Bulbul sitting side by side on a wire over the river. Western Bonelli's and Sardinian Warbler give excellent views, and we also see Hoopoe and sitting Long-legged Buzzard. Green Frogs are common and noisy here, and a pale morph Booted Eagle circles above – what a stop!
The next stop is a stony track where we take a brief walk and collect delightful Desert Wheatear for our lists. We study the black wing line joining the larger black areas around the ear and on the wing. A beautiful male bird. There are Black Wheatear nesting here, and we are very pleased as we leave for a lunch of skewered chicken and lamb kebabs in the town of Tasnazt. After lunch, Desert Lark is another key bird seen clearly, and as we wander around at Ouazarzate Reservoir we can soon tick White-crowned Wheatear and snoozing Ruddy Shelduck. A single Whiskered Tern lazily crosses the water's edge, and we proceed to another comfortable hotel haven, this time featuring powerful local red wine.
Day 5 March 25
One of the undoubted highlights of our holiday is our visit to the famous Tagdlit Track, and our experience certainly lives up to the advance billing. The early morning air is cold as we begin with Red-rumped Wheatear, common but welcome. The bird's pale front may lead it to be confused with Mourning Wheatear, the most elusive of our wheatear targets, and we study several Red-rumped with interest – we want to be sure! As we turn onto Josele's chosen path we quickly see two Temminck's Horned Larks, a beautiful white-faced version of our more familiar Shore Lark. This pair is quite confiding, and we get super views. Soon however we are distracted by large and noisy flock of birds overhead - Pin-tailed Sandgrouse! These birds are clean white underneath, unlike other species, and we see them clearly. During the next three hours we enjoy regular flyovers of these lovely birds. There are two pairs of Black-bellied Sandgrouse flying over too, a welcome addition. The call of sandgrouse overhead with the high peaks of the anti-Atlas behind is unforgettable.
After some careful searching, Josele locates a pair of Thick-billed Lark and we watch these birds running for some time. Delightful and distinctive, this is a special moment, easily missed by the less-experienced birder! There are Short-toed Larks everywhere showing plain white undersides, and we also spend some time watching the aptly named Fat Sand Rat. After more searching, we get splendid views of Hoopoe Lark, high on everyone's wish list. We are treated to their delightful display flight, getting good views of the intricate wing-pattern. Josele walks up three more coursers, and we see perhaps another 30 as we drive to lunch - we are getting blasé about these birds!
Another superb spread is enlivened by six Trumpeter Finches, four wheatear species and White Stork in the balmy sunshine. This is a good spot to say that every day is pleasant and sunny, not too hot and often, like today, with a cooling breeze here at 1500 metres above sea level – perfect birding weather. We finish lunch with another great bird, Bar-tailed Lark! This sandy, self-effacing looking bird is sunbathing nearby, and we watch it at our leisure, large-headed, thick-billed, dark terminal tail band, we enjoy ourselves for some time. Next is a welcome siesta, earned because we have rounded up all the birds we targeted here. Another Bonelli's Eagle provides entertainment as we drive to the hotel.
Later we drive to a riverside spot and enjoy ultramarinus Blue Tit, the delightful African race of this familiar bird. Local children tell us they use their catapults to catch Blackbirds which they eat, but when we test them with a plastic bottle on a rock put out for them by Peter Z they can't hit it – maybe the birds are safer than the boys say! Next we meet another young Moroccan near an Eagle Owl site who is much more conservation oriented. Our first site has been damaged by blasting, but the second is much better. We drive through a lovely village and entertain the locals for about 45 minutes waiting for the owl. Will it show? We are standing on a rough football pitch while everyone watches, and the children try out some of our scopes. These are delightful people who marvel at these strange foreigners who want to see les oiseaux. We are rewarded for our patience with an excellent view of Eagle Owl as an adult bird flies across the sandy bowl. Rounded wings, long tail, lazy flight, we all get good views and agree it is well worth the wait. We say our goodbyes and drive home in the fading light.
Day 6 March 26
Heading for the Sahara, we stop to look for Mourning Wheatear without success, though Trumpeter Finch, Thick-billed Lark, and three wheatear species including Red-rumped is no disappointment, these were all lifers for most only two days ago! Five minutes later we are smiling not mourning as the buses stop and Josele sprints across the land – having failed to walk a bird up, we instead have one that he saw at distance whilst travelling! Soon we are all enjoying views of a family group of this scarce bird; both parents and two large chicks are visible in a nest in a low cliff. This family is interesting because of the date and their advanced nature the chicks are ready to fly, and are already hopping around short distances. The male Mourning Wheatear is a beautiful bird, its contrasting black and white plumage shining against the russet sandstone – lovely! We watch for twenty minutes, distracted only by a passing Long-legged Buzzard.
Our next speciality proves difficult, as we drive through the tourist-trap of the Gorge di Todra. There are Crag Martins here, and we drive through the beautiful scenery to spots where our bird has been. Vegetation is sparse and Josele isn't hopeful, but he doesn't give up and at the second spot there it is – a splendid male Tristram's Warbler! Another key bird bites the dust as we note the rusty red plumage and dark eye of this Dartford look-alike. We are very close and everyone sees the key features during our perfect sighting, well done Josele!
A tasty lunch of eggs, cheese, tomato and onions then we are off towards the Sahara Desert, again collecting Thick-billed Lark amongst others on the way. In the late-afternoon a cry goes up – green bee-eaters! And so they are – a party of Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters posing on wires, circling around, classic views of this beautiful African bee-eater. We can see yellow and red as well as green on the birds, and of course the blue cheeks. Another very satisfying sighting. A pale-morph Booted Eagle, Black and Black-eared Wheatear, displaying Crested Lark, all in this one roadside spot, there are birds everywhere in Morocco! Overnight our accommodation is very different, an auberge in the middle of the desert. Rooms are spacious, food is good and we bring our own alcohol, for a consideration our hosts are happy to serve it!
Day 7 March 27
Another key highlight - our day in the Sahara Desert. What a fantastic place to be, wonderful birds and scenery all around. Specialist birds need specialist knowledge however, and not everyone can just find these birds – it is a long way to travel if you don't know exactly where to look! A local lake is teeming with commoner species, and we quickly start to count up new birds. Marbled Teal, Shoveler, Shelduck, Little Stint, great variety here. We have rarer specialities to find however, and today we have a local guide on board. There are Hoopoe Larks around as we race across the stony desert, directly to Houbara Bustard! These are rare birds, but our preparation is good and we get prolonged views of a female bird – just what we wanted! Two Crowned Sandgrouse fly past, we see the sandy belly and distinctive head and wingtips, and Spectacled Warblers are on territory. More good views for all!
An undoubted highlight for everyone is our walk around a green area in the desert, with flowering bushes and trees full of migrating warblers. Spectacled, Western Bonelli's and Subalpine Warblers, several wheatears, and the usual larks - a delightful place. Next we take time out from birding to visit a small village, home to the family of one of our guides. The people are welcoming and friendly, offering us dates, peanuts and tea as we select some souvenirs from their hand-made collection. Women and children are shy but very curious. Ann and Harry both try the veil! For many this is the most memorable experience of the tour (non-birding of course), and we say our goodbyes after a very enjoyable break. All Kevin's mints and fruit sweets have been left behind, and our buses are full of shawls and ammonites – great fun.
We have taken to the desert in the best possible transport, four-wheel drive landrovers. There are four in our convoy, with Josele at the front and Kevin riding shotgun, connected by walkie-talkies. Soon we need these, as vehicle four disappears into a sand dune and doesn't drive out again. Much hilarity as we dig it out, but driver Hamid is a little embarassed; bet we don't get stuck again today! As the rest of the group watch our bus finally draw up, a beautiful Hoopoe Lark entertains everyone with its display flight. Looking in the bird books one might think this bird to be named after its decurved bill, but it is the display flight which gives this species its nickname of 'Desert Hoopoe'. Wide black and white wings and erratic flight are genuinely reminiscent of Hoopoe.
Another headlong charge across the desert – hugely enjoyable, surprisingly comfortable – and Josele calls another screeching halt. He has heard Desert Warbler! This bird is on territory, and soon we have all enjoyed super views. A large, sandy and white warbler, perching and running around, it is a delight.
We begin to drive back to base for lunch, what a morning! But the fun isn't finished yet. Kevin's vehicle disturbs something which settles back onto the ground – large partridge sized …. Must be a sandgrouse! It is, and a new species too, Spotted Sandgrouse! This fabulous male is content to let us watch as all four vehicles converge and everyone gets detailed views. One more treat before lunch and we go to a spot where we know Desert Sparrow are breeding. After a bit of a search we are rewarded with birds feeding young at a nest in a deserted house. Each time the birds return as a devoted pair, and the female feeds the chicks as the male stands guard on the wall. Another way of putting it is that the female is doing all the work of finding lunch and presenting it while the male just supervises, and this seems accurate enough. Some group members giving knowing nods – just like home! These beautiful and now uncommon sparrows are the highlight of the whole trip for some.
Bill manages to evade some determined camels – he is standing next to their food trough – and we retire for lunch and a break from the heat. Again we only do this because the birds are already in, but we are grateful, this is the Sahara after all! A walk in late afternoon around palm trees produces Hoopoe and warblers, plus an elusive Wryneck which only Harry sees in the scope – his first Wryneck! A little further and we count 52 Pin-tailed Sandgrouse on the ground in front of us; again our guides know exactly where to go to see these birds. There is a beautiful desert sunset behind the birds to end a brilliant birding day.
Back to the auberge, where we have bought a lamb, which is cooked for us and presented to the table, but where is the rest of it? It seems everyone involved has taken some, and we notice the meat being served to other diners too! It doesn't matter; we all have enough, as Kevin, Rob and Mick tuck into the tail, we are luckier than Pete, who tries another cut ….. After dinner we enjoy a performance from the local drummers and one or two of us begin to dance – no names, no drill…
Day 8 March 28
We leave the desert returning west, and since we have rounded up the majority of the birds, relatively few new species on this day. One early highlight is the excellent views of Brown-necked Raven we enjoy close to their nest site. In the early morning light the nesting cliff is in shadow, but one bird helpfully flies gracefully across the road and wanders over the plain in full view. Light is important for this species, and we see the bronze head clearly, as too the thinnish bill. Our drive through the anti-Atlas is incredibly scenic, broken by a stop to watch migrating Whitethroat, a coffee at Alnif, and our first elegans Southern Grey Shrike.
Beyond Ouazarzate the scenery is fantastic as we pass through the mountains heading northwards. Unfortunately for afternoon birding we drive into a sandstorm, so having watched White Stork, Black Kite and Bee-eaters struggling, we decide to check into our hotel and freshen up. Dinner is Moroccan Soup, salad, turkey and spaghetti bolognaise, washed down with the dodgiest wine of the trip – we don't take too much!
Day 9 March 29
We walk around Ait Ben Haden, and a birding migration hotspot holds Olivaceous, Reed and Sub-alpine Warblers, Little Ringed Plover, Yellow Wagtail, Crag Martin and Red-rumped Swallow. Our drive north continues, and at 2240 metres we stop in the Tichka Pass to watch Red-billed Chough, and for the first time experience a new feeling for the trip: we are cold! Another stop and now we are chasing near endemic Levaillant's Green Woodpecker. Our first try produces a familiar sound – Mistle Thrush singing, but no 'pecker. Next it is lunch in a small town where meat is hanging outside the restaurant. Josele and Mushti bargain for the meat, it is minced in front of us, and we wait for it to be cooked. Most of the group wander up the street to barter for stones, beads and fossils. Good fun, followed by a very enjoyable fresh lunch eaten outdoors in the sun, with lamb chops, lamb meatballs, sweet biscuits, olives, bananas and tea. Bananas! What happened to the oranges?
It has been a long patient wait. We can all hear the woodpecker, and even see several likely nest holes, but this species is famous for not budging. 'It is in this tree!' … 'Surely it must fly soon?' … 'Let's give it ten minutes' … 'It isn't going to show, let's go to the next site'…. Suddenly, a lazy, undulating flight and we have it sitting openly on a broken stump – Levaillant's! The bird repeats its trick of sitting for ages in one place, the difference being that this time we can see it! Great views for everyone and we study the black moustachial stripe and faint white stripe above – great bird! A lasting memory will be the way the sun gradually illuminated more and more of the bright green plumage as we watched it calling continuously.
Our final stop is at a raptor viewpoint which is a favourite of Josele's. Suffice to say that there are three pairs of Booted Eagle displaying on territory here (we compare one bird with the Short-toed Eagle it is harrying), Long-legged Buzzard, Black Kite and Kestrel pass through, and we enjoy spectacular raptor watching.
Kevin goes for a little wander, only to come face to face with a very large pig. There is no-one nearby, so he has to shout – 'Wild Boar!' This isn't the usual way to watch wildlife, but it stops the boar in its tracks for about twenty seconds, long enough for most to get good views of a huge animal defiantly glaring back up the track (the boar, not Kevin). Finally two Common Crossbill, heard by Kevin half an hour previously, finally fly so most of the group can see them. We had better views earlier in the day.
Day 10 March 30
Our final full day begins on the roof of our hotel in Marrakesh. There are Pallid and Common Swift everywhere, and we also spot two Little Swift. After this we drive to the high Atlas mountains, another highlight of our tour. En-route we get fantastic views of an adult Golden Eagle, wheeling above us in a narrow cliff area, gaining height on the early thermals. We can see the bird perfectly, and have several minutes to enjoy its superb skill as it manages to achieve altitude without seeming to try. There is a male Rock Bunting on display, and a female Moussier's Redstart too.
At the top of the road we are at about 8000 ft. Up here we don't want to walk too far, but need to see a very special bird. Alpine and Red-billed Chough are all around, we examine beautiful seebohmi Northern Wheatear, scope Shore Larks and admire a handsome Long-legged Buzzard. We have heard our target bird, seen a couple in flight, but ….. then Josele begins to tape the birds, Bill and Kevin hear a flock go past, one returns to see who is calling, and there it is – a beautiful male Crimson-winged Finch! This last key speciality could possibly have been missed, so we all marvel at the bird. This is a large finch, with plain plumage except for a bright crimson wing bar, showing as a line on this sitting individual – lovely! A gentle walk produces Rock Sparrow, more finches and Black Redstart. We pose against the stunning mountains and enjoy a hearty traditional Moroccan lunch. On the way down we collect Firecrest, and to finish Josele catches a Chameleon by the roadside.
En route to the hotel Kevin is still shouting into his walkie talkie – 'White Storks on the right!' Josele doesn't answer because his talkie is sensibly turned off. A cavalcade carrying the His Majesty the King of Morocco is coming the other way and Kevin is talking to the King's security team! Apparently His Royal Highness has more pressing things to do today than watch birds!
Back to the hotel, and most of the group use the couple of hours of free time to visit the market and souk in Marrakesh. We buy souvenirs, watch the snake charmers, and barter with everyone, even taxi drivers.
Day 11 March 31
We have a mid-morning flight, so there is no rush as we say goodbye to Josele and head for the airport. Everyone is agreed that the trip has been a huge success, both for birding and also for the fun and experiences we have had; Morocco is a wonderful country and we will never forget our holiday here.
My thanks to everyone for their good humour and company throughout – this holiday will surely become a Heatherlea favourite.

This article critically challenges scholarship on ethnic enclaves, from Chicago School scholars to the ethnic enclave debates of the 1980s and 1990s, and introduces a new type of ethnic enclave in an era of globalization: the "transclave." By using Manhattan's Koreatown as a case study, I define transclave as a commercialized ethnic space that exists exclusively for consumption, leisure, and entertainment, differentiating itself from traditional ethnic enclaves that offer housing and jobs for newer immigrants.
Scholars have long debated the causes, processes, and effects of displacement by gentrification in global north cities and more recently around the world. Based on an ethnographic study in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, this article shows how limited liability corporations use discrete and accretive violence in the early stages of gentrification. We also document how tenants contest harassment and neglect by carrying out "limit‐acts" to make visible everyday invisible practices of intimidation and coercion and to cope with the private forces that displace them.
The sociological literature, although rich on the topic of racial/ethnic hierarchy, often overlooks its spatially varying nature relative to group tensions and inequality. In this article, we address this gap by drawing on and analyzing four historically important U.S. urban cases (i.e., Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City) that reflect both compositional diversity and significant variation in racial/ethnic group sizes. Our analyses, which draw on U.S.
Despite frequent moves, low‐income black families are more likely than any other group to churn among disadvantaged neighborhoods, and the least likely to escape them. Traditional explanations for neighborhood inequality invoke racial preferences and barriers to living in high‐income neighborhoods, but recent work suggests that it is also involuntary mobility—such as eviction—which predicts the neighborhood destinations of poor African American families in urban areas.
The growth machine (GM) perspective has long guided urban research. Our study provides a new extension of this perspective, focusing on local business actors' influence on communities across the United States. We question whether GM‐oriented business actors remain widely associated with contemporary local economic development policies, and further, whether these actors influence the use of limited‐government austerity policies. Conceptually, we extend the GM framework by bringing it into dialogue with the literature on urban austerity policy.
Despite consensus that neighborhoods influence children's outcomes, we know less about the mechanisms that cause neighborhood inequality and produce those outcomes. Existing research overlooks how social networks develop among people at similar points in the life course through repeated interactions in neighborhoods. Existing studies do not illuminate the ways in which these geographically based networks can influence life‐altering decisions.
In light of ongoing concerns about the relevance of scholarly activities, we ask, what are public ideas and how do they come to be? More specifically, how do journalists and other mediators between the academy and the public use social science ideas? How do the various uses of these ideas develop over time and shape the public careers of these ideas? How do these processes help us understand public ideas and identify their various types? In addressing these questions, we make the case for a sociology of public social science.
A lack or low level of social capital is associated with negative outcomes for communities impacted by poverty. However, less is known about how different types of social capital operate on the ground in poverty‐impacted urban neighborhoods. This article explores the ways in which bonding, bridging, and linking capital manifest among residents of two poverty‐impacted neighborhoods in New York City.
A growing body of literature has been explicitly concerned with a range of microspatial practices that are currently reshaping urban spaces under the valuable denominator of "DIY urbanism." However, there is still much work to be done if we are to take into consideration DIY urbanism's primary source and output: the commons. As such, Spanish DIY collectives have taken an explicit interest in building and reclaiming the urban commonwealth through participatory DIY interventionism.

Nobody believes in Boogiepop anymore: that old wives' tale about the evil lady who will steal you away forever if she encounters you in the night has been all but completely forgotten. Strange things are happening lately though; there are murders and disappearances at a once-quiet high school in a once-normal city, and all with only one possible explanation: Boogiepop.

Mitsubishi ASX VS Mahindra XUV500
Mitsubishi ASX
- Cheap
- Good safety package
- Interior space
- Weak engine/transmission combination
- Iffy ride and handling
- Feeling old
Mahindra XUV500
- Cheap way into seven seats
- Petrol/auto combination a winner
- Hugely spacious third row
- Underwhelming safety
- Steering that requires plenty of guesswork
- Cheap-feeling interior
Mitsubishi ASX
You can never be completely sure about the age of a car, but I reckon the Mitsubishi ASX has taken over as the elder statescar after the demise of Holden's Captiva. The old Holden was commissioned by the pharaoh Khufu while the ASX arrived a few years later... in 2009.
Over the last near-decade, the ASX has consistently sold without any major changes. Evolution has been the name of the game (ironically), with now-annual running changes to the ASX to try and keep it fresh.
The compact SUV segment is enormously competitive, with new entrants squeezing the ASX harder than ever. Amazingly, despite being ready for the pension, it still manages to post excellent sales figures when by rights it should be languishing near the bottom - old cars are old news.

Mahindra XUV500
Just in case attacking Australia's crowded SUV market with a virtually unheard of Indian brand wasn't a high enough hurdle to leap over, Mahindra had made its task even harder - think a Bollywood version of Mission Impossible - by launching its XUV500 SUV here with a diesel engine (which nobody wanted) and a manual gearbox (which few could even remember how to use).
Fortunately, it fixed one of those issues late in 2016, finally adding an automatic transmission to the line-up. And now, at long last, it's fixed the other.
This, then, is the petrol-powered XUV500 SUV. And, on paper at least, it's the most sense-making Mahindra to date.
For one, it's a ferociously cheap way into a new seven-seat SUV. For another, it's pretty well equipped, even from the base level. There's a long warranty, an equally long roadside assistance offering, and there's capped-price servicing, too.
So, should the mainstream SUV players be looking over their shoulders?
Spoiler alert: no.

Mitsubishi ASX6.3/10
It might be as old as the hills but the ASX keeps going. It's tempting to say it's on life support, but it still does the job, and with the new ADAS package, there's still life in the old dog. It's also cheaper than before, although why you'd want to spend money on the Exceed when you have everything that's worthwhile in the ES ADAS or LS is beyond me. As for the pick of the range, I'd go for the LS - it has the nicer interior trim and better seats.
The ASX will be with us for a while yet - as the newest member of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, whatever was on the way has been delayed. So for now, the ASX is the roomiest, cheapest and among the best-equipped in its class. It's just a shame it has to be so boring.
Does the ASX do what you need or is the old-timer too far off the pace? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
Mahindra XUV5006.5/10
This petrol-powered and well-priced XUV500 W6 might mark Mahindra's most convincing effort at cracking Australia's congested SUV market, but we're still not completely convinced.
That said, it's certainly cheap, the ownership credentials stack up and it's a very comfortable way to transport seven people.
Will this Mahindra's low price and upgraded spec win your SUV vote? Tell us in the comments below.
Mitsubishi ASX5/10
The early cars were a study in minimalism and looked so bare they could have come straight out of an early Grand Theft Auto game, such was the lack of detailing. These later models feature lashings of chrome and a far less timid approach, on the nose at least. The profile has been the same for the better part of a decade, with just the occasional addition like new wheels or wing mirrors.
The 18-inch wheels give the car a good solid stance and the paint looks pretty good these days. But that's pretty much it. The ASX is a box on wheels with doors that clang when you shut them.
Inside has once again had a going-over. The last proper update to the cabin made it a much better place to be. The part-suede interior of the LS is the one to go for, the Exceed's leather merely adds to the overall cheap-feel. The ASX is entirely unpretentious - no soft plastics, no attempt to cover gaps or blanks (the fifth cupholder is now covered by a dodgy-looking cap) and the switchgear is a mix-and-match arrangement to get the job done. Nothing wrong with that, but it might leave an aesthete twitchy.
Mahindra XUV5005/10
There's no getting away from the fact the XUV500 is not the sleekest, prettiest SUV in the pack. But it's not ugly, either. More that it looks like it's doing its best with a design philosophy hatched a generation or two ago.
Its best angle by far is when viewed straight on, where the piano-black grille, dual bonnet bulges and complicated (read: a little weird) headlight clusters all add some road presence to Mahindra's only SUV.
A side-on viewing, however, is less satisfying, where a combination of strangely placed and super-sharp body creases (including one over the rear wheelarch, which adds a Harbour Bridge-style crescent to the otherwise-straight window line) and serious rear overhang give the XUV500 an inescapable awkwardness.
Inside, expect a vast collection of rock-hard (though nicely patterned) plastics, with the ambiance rescued somewhat by the clean-looking and vertical central control unit, which is home to the media screen and air-con controls.
Ready for some hashtag real talk? There are better-looking and better-feeling seven-seat SUVs out there. But there aren't many that start at $25,990 drive-away. And I think that's Mahindra's point.
Mitsubishi ASX7/10
Straight up, I'll answer a common question - how many seats? The ASX is as near as you'll get to a five-seater in this segment. Interior photos show generous interior dimensions, its boxy exterior design delivering a good size cabin.
Front seat passengers score a pair of cupholders and a decent-sized central bin with a lid on top doubling as an armrest. Rear seat passengers miss out on many things - there's just one seatback pocket but there are two cupholders in the armrest.
Boot space starts with 393 litres, which is near the top of the class. If it's maximum luggage capacity you're after, drop the 60/40 split-fold rear seat and you'll have 1193 litres.
Despite looking like it's on stilts, the ground clearance is 205mm, which is significantly higher than the segment's low-rider, the Mazda CX-3. As you might expect, if you're this low-slung - and without 4 wheel drive, off-road ability is compromised.
The 4.4m long ASX's turning circle is a small-ish 10.6 metres.
Mahindra XUV5007/10
Pretty damn practical, actually, regardless of whether you want to carry people or cargo. Carrying both at the same time, however, is tricky.
But let's start with people. There is a huge amount of room in the third row of the XUV500, a space with enough head and legroom to put plenty of its competition to shame.
Thanks to second-row seat backs that fold flat, before the the entire seat lifts up and pushes forward, climbing into seats six and seven isn't too big a drama, either.
We rarely say this about seven-seat cars, but at 175cm, I'd feel plenty comfortable back there on a longer drive. There are two air vents in the third row, too, along with bottle storage and side-seat storage for thin items.
The space in the middle row is ample as well, and you'll find three ISOFIX attachment points, one for each of the three seats. There's also a door pocket in each rear door and storage nets on the rear of the two front seats. A pull-down divider that separates the back seat is home to two cupholders, matching the two for front seat riders.
The only downside to all this people-lugging happiness is that, with the third row of seats in place, there is absolutely no room for luggage. Mahindra doesn't quote a litre storage figure when seven are seated (mostly because it would probably be embarrassing to write "one litre"), but trust us, you'll be lucky to squeeze a soft backpack in the boot with all seats in place.
Things improve considerably when you drop the third row of seats, though, which unlocks 702 litres of storage, and that number climbs to 1512 litres with the second and third row folded down.
Price and features
Mitsubishi ASX7/10
The MY19 upgrade - one of many over the ASX's long and fruitful life - has brought some changes to the price list and a rejig of the available models. There's a new entry-level model, the ES, the mid-point LS and a range-topping Exceed. All pricing is RRP and how much you pay is between you and your dealer. The drive-way price is helpfully listed on the Mitsubishi website, however. Our model comparison features the full price range.
A big change for MY19 is the end of the all-wheel drive (AWD) for the ASX, with just front-wheel drive on offer. So no more AWD option, meaning if you're after an off-road review, you're out of luck.
The new entry-level ES means it's now $1510 cheaper than before for the cheapest ASX.
The ASX now starts at $23,490 for an ES with a manual gearbox and $25,490 for the CVT automatic transmission. The value proposition is pretty reasonable - you get 18-inch alloys, four-speaker stereo, climate control, reversing camera, halogen headlights, leather gear shifter and steering wheel, power folding rear vision mirrors, cruise control, power windows all round, cloth trim and a space saver spare tyre.
The ES ADAS is $26,990 and is essentially the ES with a safety pack, which you can read about in the safety section.
Moving on to the second of the three models, the LS starts at $27,990 and is auto-only - so no manual transmission. To the ES spec you can add keyless entry and start, the 'ADAS' safety package, rear parking sensors, fog lights, auto high beam, auto headlights and wipers and partial leather seats with fake suede inserts (which are rather good, actually).
The $30,990 Exceed adds leather, two speakers to make the speaker number six as well as a sunroof.
The ES and LS comes with a four-speaker sound system while the top of the range Exceed scores six speakers. All of them have the same 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system. What is standard across the range is iPhone and Android integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto respectively. The new screen looks good and the updated software is easy to use, but it's not very well integrated - for instance, Apple CarPlay's clock disappears off the edge of the screen.
There is no sat nav (hmmm) or CD player (far enough, it's 2018), but there is digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a baffling screen that displays your GPS co-ordinates.
There are seven colours available - black, 'Lightning Blue', 'Titanium' (grey, obviously), red, 'Sterling Silver' and 'Starlight' all cost an extra $590 while white is a freebie. Not surprisingly, orange and brown are off the menu.
Mahindra XUV5009/10
Make no mistake, this Mahindra kills the competition on price. The entry-level W6 version will cost you a lean $25,990, while the fruited-up W8 version will set you back $29,990. You can even have an AWD W8 for $32,990. The best part? All of those are drive-away prices.
Go for the W6, and you can expect 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth seats, air-con with vents (powered by a second compressor) in the second and third row, cornering headlights with DRLs, front and rear fog lights, cruise control, rear parking sensors and a 6.0-inch multimedia screen linked with a six-speaker stereo.
Spring for the W8, and you'll add leather seats, a reversing camera, tyre-pressure monitoring and a bigger, 7.0-inch screen with standard sat-nav.
Engine & trans
Mitsubishi ASX5/10
The ASX's model simplification extends to the drivetrain. Gone is AWD and diesel, leaving just one petrol engine. The engine specs read fairly adequately - the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder delivers 110kW/197Nm. As with the rest of the segment, engine size and power seems to be legislated to almost these exact specifications.
The 0-100 acceleration performance is best described as leisurely and noisy. The motor, codenamed 4B11, uses a chain rather than timing belt, which should help keep service costs down and improve long-term reliability. The 4B11 is capable of producing a lot more horsepower, but sadly the version of the engine in the Evo X is not available.
On the upside, this simplicity means no turbo problems or diesel problems and in this unstressed spec, engine problems are unlikely to occur with regular servicing.
Power reaches the front wheels through Mitsubishi's ubiquitous continuously variable transmission (CVT). LS buyers can choose a less than bang-up-to-date five-speed manual, but that's probably down to the fact almost nobody buys a manual.
If you're interested in the tank size, oil type and weight, the owners manual lists these things. The CVT seems a hardy if unspectacular unit, so gearbox problems appear unusual in my sweep of the usual internet forums. The CVT's abilities, however, are another thing entirely.
Towing capacity is rated at 750kg unbraked and 1300kg braked.
Just in case you're wondering, there is no LPG (or gas) option.
Mahindra XUV5006/10
There's a diesel engine currently available, but the clock is ticking - Mahindra expects it to be phased out within six months. But the big news here is the new petrol engine, a turbocharged 2.2-litre unit good for 103kW/320Nm. It's paired exclusively with an Aisin-developed six-speed automatic transmission, and will send it's power to the front or all four wheels.
Mahindra doesn't quote official performance figures, but those engine outputs hardly scream excitement, do they?
Fuel consumption
Mitsubishi ASX6/10
Mitsubishi says the ASX's fuel economy figures are 7.6L/100km of 91 RON petrol. Fuel tank capacity is listed at 63 litres. If you can eke out this sticker figure mileage you could squeeze out nearly 800km of range. We found its real-world fuel consumption is closer to 11.5L/100km in a mix of city and highway driving.
Mahindra XUV5006/10
Local numbers are yet to be confirmed, but after an admittedly vigorous local test, the on-board computers was reading 13+ litres per 100km. All XUV500's are fitted with a 70-litre fuel tank.
Mitsubishi ASX5/10
The ASX is the archetypal appliance on wheels. It's one of the least involving cars you will ever drive. The inconsistently-weighted steering completely insulates you from the road. It seems to need an extra quarter turn to do anything and that gets tired pretty quickly.
The CVT auto is rudimentary at best, completely outclassed by that in the Honda HR-V. The pronounced rubber band feel is something that takes some time to get used to and requires a keen eye on the speedo.
The all-around independent suspension promises much but delivers the workmanlike performance of a bored politician who knows they're resigning before the next election. Sharp bumps resonate through the cabin and body control is lacking - turn the wheel left to right and it ties itself up in knots. But once you're up to speed, it's a comfortable rider.
The safety systems seem to work reasonably well, although we did find the reverse cross traffic alert to have longer range sensors than the Starship Enterprise.
Mahindra XUV5006/10
About as old school as rocking a pair of button-up tracksuit pants with a Run-DMC cassette stuffed into your Walkman.
On a straight and unchallenging road, there's stuff to like about the petrol-powered XUV500. The engine, while gruff under heavy acceleration, doesn't feel too wheezy when you're not asking a great deal of it, and nor is the cabin overly loud at suburban speeds. It's a comfortable space for driver and passengers, too, and the gearbox performed seamlessly on our short test drive.
But that's about where the good news ends. There's an unshakeable agricultural feel to the way this Mahindra SUV goes about its business, and nowhere is that more obvious than through the steering wheel, which has only a vague and difficult relationship with the the front tyres, making it seriously tricky to approach twisting roads with anything approaching confidence.
The steering is slow and cumbersome - light when you first begin turning the wheel, with a ton of weight appearing by surprise midway through the cornering process - and it has a tendency to fight back should the front wheels find a bump or corrugation in the road, too.
The body lolls about when challenged, too, and the tyres are quick to give up their grip on tighter corners. All of which would give it a certain retro charm if it wasn't so very new, and I must admit I was cackling maniacally on some of the more twisting roads.
But it's simply not a car I could live with.
Mitsubishi ASX8/10
Across the range you get seven airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, reversing camera and emergency brake assist.
If you need to load up a baby car seat, there are three top-tether anchor points and two ISOFIX anchors.
In the interests of transparency and for an opportunity to self-deprecate for your amusement, about a year ago I wrote that the ASX was missing advanced safety systems and was unlikely to see them anytime soon.
A few weeks later, Mitsubishi released an update which included forward AEB, something that is standard on its CX-3 rival.
That update is called the ADAS package, optional on the ES and the same features are standard on the Exceed. ADAS includes lane departure warning, lane change assist, forward AEB and rear cross traffic alert. You also get auto wipers and headlights and rear parking sensors.
Irritatingly, the LS loses blind spot warning, lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert with no apparent way to get them on that spec. The Exceed's package also picks up automatic high beam.
The ASX has a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, awarded in 2014.
Mahindra XUV5006/10
Expect dual front, front-side and curtain airbags (though the latter don't extend to the third row of seats), along with rear parking sensors and ESP. Stepping up to the W8 trim adds a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. The XUV500 was awarded a four-star (out of five) ANCAP assessment when tested in 2012.
Mitsubishi ASX7/10
The ASX now has a five-year/100,000km warranty with one year of roadside assist in the form of membership to your state or territory's motoring organisation (eg RACV, RACT, NRMA). The three-year capped price servicing regime also includes extending that membership another 12 months.
Each service will cost you $240 which isn't especially cheap nor is it overly-pricey. Annoyingly, the car demands to be returned to the dealer at the 1000km mark for a free look-over.
A quick search reveals an absence of common problems, faults or issues. It seems a pretty solid sort of car, with few common complaints from owners. Resale value is heavily dependent on the model, with early cars not doing as well as later updates.
Mahindra XUV5007/10
All XUV500s are covered by a five year/100,000km warranty (though the final two years apply only to the drivetrain), along with five years of complimentary roadside assistance.
The XUV500 is also covered by Mahindra's capped-price servicing program for the first three years of ownership, and will require servicing every six months or 10,000km.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - If East Broad Street is in your daily commute, expect closures for another week.
That's according to the City of Savannah. Construction crews closed the intersection at East Broad and Bolton Street nearly a month ago for storm water drain improvements. The road was supposed to be back open last week, but the project has been extended for another week.
Residents are ready for this inconvenience to go away.
"I hit East Broad and then go to the back alley, so I've had to go all the way down to Habersham and come around, but I guess if it's necessary, then there isn't much I can do about it," said Elizabeth Topping.
The city says crews plan to start repaving Thursday and have the road back open on July 1.

Mark Story
Mark Story: Alabama football or UK basketball?
Some say Alabama is the "Kentucky basketball" of SEC football programs.
Others say Kentucky is the "Alabama football" of SEC basketball programs.
I say it's time for one of our games of compare and contrast to see which team reigns supreme.
Kentucky basketball: Seven NCAA championships — all won on the court.
Alabama football: Twelve national championships — most of which are mythical results from sportswriter votes or power rankings.
Advantage: Kentucky basketball.
Alabama football: Three NCAA sanctions for rules-breaking since 1950.
Kentucky basketball: Four NCAA sanctions for rules-breaking since 1950.
Advantage: Alabama football.
Kentucky basketball: The Emery Air Freight package.
Alabama football: Phil Fulmer.
Advantage: Alabama football (more fun to have a human to vilify than an express-mail envelope).
Alabama football: The Man in the Houndstooth Hat.
Kentucky basketball: The Man in the Brown Suit.
Advantage: Even.
Kentucky basketball: Since Adolph Rupp retired, has had five head coaches combine to win 75.6 percent of their games with 16 SEC (regular season) titles and three national championships.
Alabama football: Since Bear Bryant retired, has had seven head coaches combine to win 63.9 percent of their games with three SEC titles and one national championship.
Advantage (big advantage): Kentucky basketball.
Alabama football: Drew 92,138 fans to the "A-Day" spring game in 2007.
Kentucky basketball: Drew 24,000 fans to the Big Blue Madness "practice" in 2007.
Advantage: Alabama football.
Kentucky basketball: Ashley Judd — UK's number one celebrity cheerleader.
Alabama football: Sela Ward — both a celebrity and actually a former Crimson Tide cheerleader.
Advantage: Even.
Alabama football: "Rammer, Jammer, Yellow Hammer! Give 'em Hell Alabama!"
Kentucky basketball: "Go Big Blue!"
Advantage (big advantage): Alabama football.
Kentucky basketball: Billy Gillispie agreed to seven-year, $16.1 million contract.
Alabama football: Nick Saban agreed to eight-year, $32 million contract.
Advantage: Kentucky basketball (getting its coaching for half the price)
Alabama football: Joe Namath.
Kentucky basketball: Pat Riley.
Advantage: Alabama (better to have a player instrumental in a pro sports league's history than a coach).
Kentucky basketball: Hired Tubby Smith.
Alabama football: Didn't hire Sylvester Croom.
Advantage: Kentucky basketball.
Alabama football: For $24.95, you can relive the past by purchasing a houndstooth hat on the Internet.
Kentucky basketball: For $24.95, you can relive the past by purchasing a 1978 men's basketball national championship DVD on the Internet.
Advantage: Alabama football.
Kentucky basketball: Streak that makes fans retch is 10 years straight without a Final Four trip.
Alabama football: Streak that makes fans retch is six years straight without a victory over Auburn.
Advantage: Alabama football (negative streak is four years shorter).
Alabama football: Rich Rodriguez turned down head coaching job.
Kentucky basketball: Billy Donovan turned down head coaching job.
Advantage: Kentucky basketball (less embarrassing to be turned down by a two-time national championship coach than one with no titles).
Alabama football: Current marquee player is Terrence "Mount" Cody, the 6-foot-5, 365-pound nose tackle who has "slimmed down" from 420 pounds.
Kentucky basketball: Current marquee player is Patrick Patterson, the McDonald's All-American who turned down Duke and Florida then played better than his hype once in Lexington.
Advantage: Kentucky basketball.
The final outcome: Awarding one point for each category advantage, two points for "big" advantages and a half-point for ties, Alabama football beats Kentucky basketball 9-8.
The Bear gets the last laugh on The Baron.

The Left Front on Monday announced its first list of 116 candidates for the six-phase Assembly elections, beginning April 4.
Unlike the Trinamool Congress, which issued a press statement and released the list of all 294 party candidates within barely an hour of the Election Commission of India announcing the poll schedule on Friday, the CPM, along with Front partners CPI and the Forward Bloc, remained huddled in a meeting for hours before Left Front chairman Biman Bose finally met the media on Monday.
Almost anticipating the media's questions regarding the list, Bose said the Front has always announced its candidates in phases. "We announced all candidates ahead of the elections in one meeting in only one year, 1982," he said.
There are 69 new candidates, 16 women candidates and 25 minority candidates in the first list.

The confusion, however, was apparent at the CPM office in the run-up to the toughest fight in decades for the party's very survival. "We had decided to put up the manifesto on the (party) website but had to take it off because…our allies raised certain issues that needed to be incorporated," Bose said. "If the media also has suggestions that need to be incorporated, journalists can approach us. We will definitely consider including relevant issues."
He also emphasised that the CPM will not share platform with the Congress, or "any other secular party contesting the polls", during the campaigning .

Assisted Living Reviews for Century Oaks
June 18, 2019
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
This facility was the best all around deal for my father and his needs in this area. I was very pleased that since my father has a small dog that they got him a first floor apartment where he can let the dog right outside. Also, the apartment is roomy enough that my father could bring a reasonable amount of his furniture from his home up north.

My father-in-law is on a waiting list at Century Oaks. We just feel it's the best money-wise and is the most affordable. It's a good location and they have a lot going on there. They take people out quite a bit to shopping and to different places to have lunch. They offer little apartments with full kitchens and even a little living room. The one that my father-in-law would be sharing has one bedroom and his own bath, and then there's another larger bedroom with its own bath. They're very nice and bright.

The rooms at Century Oaks were larger than the other places I've seen and nicely laid out. They had a patio or a balcony for all the rooms. The residents seemed a little bit more youthful and active, and more than half of the residents were completely independent. Many of them had pets, and they were running around with their owners. They had a pool, exercise classes once a week, aerobics for swimming, a room for physical therapy, 2 laundry rooms -- one at each end of each floor -- a library, and an arts and crafts room. Some of the areas seemed dark, but it was not depressing.

Century Oaks' apartments were larger than any other that I had seen. However, the facilities were older and not that nice. It needs to be updated. Other than that, I was very pleased with the gracious personnel. A staff member even pushed me around in a wheelchair the whole time because I had problems walking. Even though it was an older community that needs some updates, I thought everything was fine. I loved the size of the apartments. I was very impressed with them because they were more spacious than other places.

My father is in assisted living at Century Oaks. They seem to have a good deal of activities. They have a swimming pool and a pool table, they do transportation, and they take them shopping from time to time to different places. They have 1 and 2 bedrooms, which are very nice and spacious. The place is nice and comfortable. I have seen their menu for the entire month at a time. They get three meals a day, breakfast is like a brunch, and it is a buffet style. They usually have 2 main choices a day for both lunch and dinner, the meals seem to be fine and balanced, and if there is someone who needs a special diet, they make sure that that is taken care of.

We moved over to Century Oaks, and it is much better. There are a lot of areas for activities. They have a little recreation area, an arts and crafts area, an area for meetings, and a chapel, plus two different dining rooms and a swimming pool. It is just light years different than where we were before. The food is very good. The best part is our apartment which has a kitchen, three rooms, a porch, and two bathrooms. The only thing is I don't think they have a nurse or a doctor on-duty at all times.

The room at Century Oaks is about 700 square feet with a living room, bathroom, and kitchenette, which is why this is the facility I prefer right now. They are also a little flexible with their pricing. The dining room looked nice and adequate.

I was looking for something that my mother would feel comfortable in, and I was looking for a place where the people were very friendly; the people who live there were very friendly. I went to many places, and Century Oaks was the first one I walked into that I felt like it was home myself. It was that friendly. It is very clean and very nice; my mother loves it. She is just having a ball there. They have lots of things every day, and she does and does a lot of them. She was getting to be very inactive, and now she is very active. Not everything on the menu is what she wants, but they always have a variety, so it is good. I have gone there almost every day since she has been there, and the staff is always helping her and doing things. They are just so friendly. I have been in other places, and nothing compares to this. All the different factors that I was looking for were all there, and she just loves it. She's always running around and having a good time, and I love it. That's what I wanted.

For Century Oaks I wrote "care questionable" because when I went there, I don't know how good the care was. I thought some of the people were a little lacking. However, I was only there for 20 minutes, and I don't think it is fair to make a snap judgment. That was my first impression. However, the staff seemed friendly. The dining area and the sanitation seemed very nice. The location was great.

We went and saw Century Oaks. The visiting experience was perfect. When we went home I said to my parents 'OK, you guys can stay here; I'm moving out and going there.' Everybody was super friendly. It was very clean. It smelled good. The lady took me around everywhere and showed me all the different apartments, all the different rooms, and explained what they did. So, I'd definitely go there, I really would. There was nothing that turned me off or concerned me. There they have like a card room to go play cards, a game room, and a recreation room. They sing music and play instruments, and they've got full beauty and barber shop. There's a swimming pool. They also take them on activities. They take them off to Wal-Mart and Publix. The place was very good and was very nicely decorated. It's updated. I think they just did the remodeling on the outside, and everything inside was very clean.

We liked Century Oaks. It had a good independent living facility and there's another building for people with memory problem. It's close to our vicinity. The staff were okay, they were a good assistance. The rooms are good sized compared to the other we saw. Residents there seemed to be pretty good. They have a library and a wellness center. I will recommend this place depending on what people like.

Century Oaks is very closely knit. Everybody knows everybody, and the residents all get along very well. I liked the camaraderie between the staff and the residents, and the fact that the residents are all very much involved. The assisted living residents have their meals done for them, and its adequate. The rooms for assisted living were tight, but for the unassisted living they've got regular apartments. They could probably improve on the food.

I visited this facility
The Century Oaks was in the same vicinity where we were visiting the area to look at possible places for my friend's mother to live. The facility looked like it was well tended - the grounds were neat and well trimmed. The interior also had a very nice and fresh décor. The dining options included many interesting meals and choices. The residents appeared to enjoy their food very much. They are also offered snacks regularly. The communal spaces were all designed to be easy access to suit each purpose well. The seniors could easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many other stimulating activities. The private rooms were all nicely kept and decorated. The staff was friendly and attended to all of the residents well. The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes. Residents can also safely navigate the lovely garden pathways and courtyards. Every resident appeared to be very well cared for in a peaceful, yet fun environment by kind, caring and compassionate staff.

I'm a resident of Century Oaks, and so far my experience is fine. The staff is also fine and the food is good; I enjoy it. The activities are good if you are able to do them. The atmosphere and surroundings are good as well. I would rate them the highest. The cost is OK.

Century Oaks is bigger than other places and so is my apartment. The employees are very nice and a big help. The food is OK, but they can improve some of it. I have a 2-bedroom with two full bathrooms and a full kitchen. The place has everything you could think of and more. The pricing is very low compared to others, and you get your money's worth at this place. Theyre also good at raising the rent. There's no cap whatsoever on it.

Century Oaks is a nice facility. The rooms are big, and the rates are more affordable than the others I've visited. The staff who gave me the tour was nice. When we were there, some residents were having a Bible study in one room, and some were playing cards in another room, and some were getting ready for aerobics in another room. This facility has a homey atmosphere. It's a medium-sized facility.

She is in an independent living at Century Oaks. She is my best friend. This is the one she's been in for four years. The assisted that they have at Century Oaks is all upstairs, and she has a dog. She has to take the dog out, and the dog will not ride in the elevator. They have doctors that come in once a month or so. There are three meals a day. They have shuttle service.

Mom had only been at Century Oaks for seven days. It is a fairly nice place and it is hurricane proof. The food looked pretty good. There did not seem to be a lot of staff, there were quite a few people, and it seemed like they need one or two more. They had special codes for getting out and in the elevator, and the front door was always manned.
