In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Two years following the passing of Ivana Trump, her ornate East 64th Street townhouse remains for sale — and it has seen yet another price cut, according to StreetEasy records. 

Originally listed for $26.5 million in November 2022, just four months after her death, the price was slashed to $22.5 million last year. 

Now, StreetEasy shows, the asking price has dropped once more to $19.5 million — $7 million less than the initial listing.

Adam Modlin of the eponymous Modlin Group holds the listing. He didn’t respond to a message seeking comment by press time.
