NSS releases video about Gago's casino...

...fraud worth dozens of billions. It's about allegedly abusing laws to gain the ability to run business in multiple areas, and other violations.

NSS releases video about Gago's voter buying...

... involving hundreds of millions. It's about allegedly paying BHK workers to bribe the voters in Gegharquniq during the 2017 Parliamentary elections.
The video depicts Gago's Bentleys, lions, bear carpets, and documents allegedly showing voter buying scheme.
 
Prosecutor said the felony case was launched on Feb/1/2020. QP leader Lilith believes there was a leak from the law enforcement and BHK was made aware of it.

BHK MPs "secured" votes and made a pledge to Gago

Some of Gago's confiscated documents allegedly reveal how the candidates for MP promised to "secure" a certain number of votes and make decisions in the future only after consulting with Gago first, in exchange for receiving Gago's help.
Some high-profile BHK MPs wrote letters:
Napoleon Azizyan wrote "I am and have always been loyal to you, Gago. I will accept your word whether you're right or wrong."
Tigran Urikhanyan promised to secure 8k votes and follow Gago's decisions.
Naira Zohrabyan promised not to make public statements without consulting with Gago first. She swore on her single daughter not to make emotional and confrontational statements anymore.
Sergey Bagratyan promised to secure 7k votes, otherwise he'll place his mandate down, and that "I'm a son of an [immoral] if I break this pledge."
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190284

General Prosecutor wants to strip Gago...

... of his MP's immunity, so he can be arrested. The Parliament received the petition. They'll hold a vote tomorrow.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190270

Gago gains a powerful ally

LHK party released a statement condemning the govt for "political persecution and selective treatment of Gagik Tsarukyan".
Full: http://www.panarmenian.net/arm/news/282005/

Gago released a statement

..., saying: thanks everyone for support. You either work to fix issues or you persecute those who speak about the issues. Today Armenia has a big pandemic problem because of govt's non-serious attitude. The felony case is a result of my last week's speech about replacing the govt. Take it easy and stay safe.
https://factor.am/260060.html

Deputy Parliament speaker..

...QP Alen Simonyan said:
Don't mix up the timeline of events. The case against Gago began long before he gave last week's speech.
ex-NSS Vanetsyan was present during Gago's speech. The two held private convo on several occasions. This [their close ties] might explain why Vanetsyan didn't bust Gago when he was the NSS chief.

COVID stats

+397 infected. +62 healed. +16 deaths.
10409 active. 6276 healed. 83600 tested.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190221

Hospitals see decline in patients & revenue

Gyumri hospital lost 80% of revenues post-COVID because fewer paying customers chose to seek services. Even revenues from govt-subsidized visits declined by 50%.
https://news.am/arm/news/585589.html

COVID briefing / Mask research

Pashinyan said: U.S. research shows that the heavily-hit EU countries suppressed COVID with the help of masks. Research says COVID droplets can hang in the air for dozens of minutes indoors. Masks are the most effective protection.
According to research, masks were more effective than quarantine and social distancing.
Additionally, 172 exams in dozens of countries were done by Lancet researchers. Transmission is orders of magnitude higher without masks. Social distancing was the 2nd most effective protection.
 
You can say that beginning on May 25th, we introduced the most effective anti-COVID measure by requiring masks in public. Yet we have high numbers because we failed to convince/require the public to wear masks.
Not wearing masks is a death sentence for thousands of people.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190267

Geghard had many tourists today

Pashinyan uploads pic: this is cool, but remember to wear masks. [many mask-less tourists near the monastery]
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190238

gazebos as COVID hotspots / Joggers

Healthcare Minister: our research on patients' addresses shows that backyard infections are very common. I began publishing apartment complex building numbers where the safety wasn't respected.
Next month the mask prices will reduce to pre-pandemic levels. You can use a homemade mask if it sits tightly and gets disinfected frequently.
The youth should also worry. The average age of deaths is reducing because many infected young patients only now learn that they have diabetes and hypertension.
Remove the mask only while dining. Don't walk behind joggers because they can exhale a cloud of COVID particles.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190267

Masks will be given for free..

... by police officers to those citizens who receive a ticket for not wearing a mask, said Pashinyan today.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190277

Artsakh conducts border tests

President Arayik decided to require everyone entering Artsakh to do a 15-minute COVID test or to prove that they were tested in Armenia before arrival.
Checkpoints are installed. It costs $30 to get a test on the spot.
https://factor.am/260107.html

Doctors from France

...arrived last night to help Armenia against COVID for 10 days. This morning they joined anesthesiologists and resuscitators in 3 hospitals.

Forest fire warning

Last year crapton of Armenian forests burned down, mostly from heat. Emergency Ministry advisory for this summer:
Call 911 if you see a fire.
Try to extinguish it if it's small land safe.
If you have to walk through it, use a damp cloth to cover your face and mouth.
If the fire reaches your clothes, spin around fast. If your clothes catch fire, tap to extinguish it.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/190234

Constitutional Reforms

...are something that Pashinyan administration has been planning for a while (not to be confused with Constitutional Court referendum).
PM said: I'm against changing the Constitution frequently, yet not only we need reforms today, but we need a new Constitution. In the past, the changes were done for political gain for a certain group.
There is no organic connection between the People and the system the way it is right now because People were left out of the reforms process.
We need to keep the Parliamentary system and better understand how it should function. Do we actually have a full Parliamentary system today?
 
We need to discuss whether to keep the law that artificially gives more seats to the party with the most votes (it's done to secure someone's majority if they're <50%). This is bad for the opposition. On the other hand, there are countries (Israel) where they hold elections every other month because of gridlock. Do we want this?
 
Since many citizens cannot exercise their voting rights during a pandemic, we should discuss and find out whether it's possible to have voting methods other than physical attendance, for example, online voting, and whether it's possible to do it in a safe and secure way. (you already know the answer)
 
The new Constitution should boost foreign investments by making judicial reforms. Every foreign report about Armenia states that our judicial system is deeply flawed. A potential investor reads and makes conclusions.
 
We need a unified court system that'll include the main courts and Constitutional Court under one system.

Judicial vetting process

IND MP Babajanyan earlier criticized the govt for not being harsh enough on judicial vetting. Govt decided not to mass-vet existing judges' past, at the recommendation of Venice Commission.
Today the IND MP wrote that he met the Justice Minister and that they allegedly agreed to do a broader vetting, and that the Supreme Court (not Constitutional Court) should be used for this. The Supreme Court is already tasked with punishing or protecting judges; their duties might expand. "It'll be done with or without the Supreme Court," wrote the satisfied MP.

բիչոկ & семчка during a soccer match

The story comes from a club coach.
Torpedo and Dilijan soccer clubs held a match. Dilijan's coach offered the referee some sunflower seeds during the 1st half. The ref rejected. The coach joked saying that this looks more like more a Champions League game.
During the 15-minute break, the coach went to the locker room and waited for the doors to open. The angry ref approached and confronted about the Champions League remark, before extinguishing a cigarette butt on the coach's face. The police intervened.
The coach was not allowed to enter the pitch for the 2nd half.
He sent a complaint to the Soccer Federation. He believes the ref doesn't like him because he knows the ref's "past shenanigans".
Soccer Federation will hold a hearing.

Activists go after miner's wallet

Context: Lydian-Armenia wants to mine gold on Amulsar hills, near Jermuk. Jermuk residents complain it'll harm nature. The company was told to fix several problems before they can safely mine gold, but they can't, because the activists blockaded the sight.
Lydian receives money from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Jermuk activists contacted the bank with a petition to end the miner's funding, claiming it violates the bank's own policies about social and environmental causes.
The bank has accepted the petition and will hold a hearing.

...to commemorate the 75th anniversary, will be joined by 75 Armenian soldiers, who're already in Moscow to participate in training. PM and others will also attend. It's next month.

Yerevan begins renovation of Oghakadzev Park

Alexander Tamanyan designed the new Yerevan in a way to have its center surrounded by Circular Park. By 1960s the green area sharply reduced. In the late 1990s many trees were cut for construction.
Today, 60% of the 31ha area is occupied by 98 businesses.
 
Yerevan began the renovation of the 6th section with 16,000m2. A third of the entire job will be done by Armenian-Ukrainian diaspora.
They'll build a skate park near St. Gregory Illuminator church. It'll have solar panels and a medical center. Gazebos, benches, disability accommodations, etc.
"Expect a forest-like environment. We'll add many trees. We'll restore Tamanyan's vision," said municipality.
The municipality will begin by kicking out the "most offending" land renters who are there illegally or aren't paying for the lease. They're currently negotiating.

I wrote a new, updated, more comprehensive and neutral wiki for the sub, but I guess the mods didn't want it. Here's u/garethom's guide to Birmingham.

I sent this is in a message to the mods a little while back after seeing that the existing wiki was a little out of date, really centric to certain areas and tbh, not very neutral when it came to other areas. It's my no means the end of any recommendations, but considering we have a lot of questions about what to do/see/eat/drink and where to stay or live, I thought it might be helpful.
Anyway, I haven't got a response, and I'm not even sure if any of them are even still active here, so I thought I'd just drop it here and maybe somebody can get some use out of it anyway.
I'll clarify that outside of playing for one of the American football teams currently, and having previously played for another, I'm not affiliated with any organisation mentioned herein.

About Birmingham

Birmingham is the second city (don't listen to anything Manchester says!) of the United Kingdom. It is the largest and most populous city in the United Kingdom, as well as the centre of the second largest urban area after London, with a population somewhere between 1 and 1.3 million people.
Birmingham boomed from a non-descript market town to a juggernaut of a city during the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700s/early 1800s, and is called "the first manufacturing town in the world". Although the steam engine is Birmingham's most famous invention, did you know, that amongst hundreds of other things, we're also responsible for the birth of the modern chemical industry, cotton spinning, the Baskerville typeface, building societies, powdered custard, the modern postal system, medical plaster, lawn tennis, plastic, medical use of x-rays, The Lord of the Rings, and the Football League? Well now you do!
Today, we don't manufacture so much, but we're still an important city on the global stage. We're now a centre for both the public and private service industry, and one of the most important centres of finance in the country.
We form the centre of a metropolitan area, spanning from Solihull in the south east, to Wolverhampton and the Black Country in the north west, and we make up an interesting group of people. We're a city of younger than average people, and are the UK's most ethnically diverse city, with large numbers of immigrants from Ireland, South Asia, the Caribbean and China. This make up has majorly shaped the city we live in today.
Whether you're visiting for a day or two, or you're a born and bred Brummie, Birmingham is still a city that can amaze you.
And yes... it's true. We do have more canals than Venice.

Big Name Attractions

It is located in the Shire Country Park, named for its influence on the location of that name in the aforementioned books.

  • Winterbourne House & Garden: A seven acre botanic garden of the University of Birmingham.

Food & Drink

Birmingham is a city quickly gaining a world-class reputation for food, with an exploding independent scene backed up by an enviable selection of fine dining options.
Fine Dining You may have heard that Birmingham has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any UK city outside of London, and that's (sort of, if you're including Solihull) true!
With five (strictly four) restaurants boasting a star, Birmingham has plenty for those desiring a fine dining experience.
Purnell's, ran by regular TV face Glyn Purnell, and Adam's are both located in the city centre. Simpsons is just a mile-and-a-bit outside the centre in leafy Edgbaston, and Carters of Moseley is just a little further out, in, well, Moseley. The most recently awarded star goes to Peel's, located in the Hampton Manor hotel in Hampton in Arden, a quick drive from Birmingham Airport.
But it's not all about those famous stars. There's also several restaurants that make the Michelin Guide. Asha's (Indian), Opus (European), The Wilderness (British/European), Lasan (Indian), Waters (European), The Boot Inn (European/Fusion), Opheem (Indian), Folium (British/European), and Harborne Kitchen (British/European) are all places you're almost guaranteed some good eating!
Street Food & Independents While the Michelin-club get all the plaudits, many prefer Birmingham's proud independent food scene for a cheaper, more relaxed meal.
The jewel in the crown is Digbeth Dining Club. The now three-day-a-week event sees an area in Digbeth in the centre of Birmingham closed off and populated by some of the countries finest streetfood vendors for a festival of food, drink and music. Many of the regulars have been crowned winners of something in the various country-wide streetfood competitions in recent years, and you'll get anything from Indian snacks, decadent waffles, slow cooked BBQ, and mouth-watering cheesecakes to award winning burgers. Additionally, in a very similar vein, is the much more recent Hawker Yard.
Looking for a burger? You're in luck. There's Original Patty Men (who are so renowned, Drake opted to miss out on the Brit Awards to eat their burgers) and The Meat Shack both located in the city centre that make some of the best burgers you'll ever taste, and have a great selection of beers to go with them.
Thanks to the city's impressive Chinatown, you're guaranteed some good authentic Chinese food. Our recommendation? Head to Peach Garden or Look In and order a selection of roasted meats (just look for the hanging ducks in the window, you won't miss them!)
Perhaps Birmingham's most world famous offering to the culinary world is the Balti. Named for the thin-pressed steel dish it's served in more than any particular method of cooking, the Balti is a garlic and onion heavy curry that is cooked over high heat, rather than simmering all day. If that sounds enticing to you, then I've got good news.
Birmingham is famed for the Balti Triangle, an area around Sparkbook, Sparkhill and Moseley that has an eye-wateringly high concentration of restaurants serving Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food, almost all of which serving many variations of the eponymous dish. While the Balti may have spread across the entirety of the UK, it's well known that Birmingham still has the best. Looking for a recommendation? Check out Adil's, the place that lays perhaps the strongest claim to creating the dish in the first place or Al Frash. We're also locked into an ongoing battle with Glasgow as to which city created the creamy, mild curry, the Chicken Tikka Masala. Added bonus? Many of the city's balti houses are BYOB.
Outside of those mentioned, there really is something for those that want something a little different. The Karczma serves authentic Polish food in amazing decor. Bonehead is the place to go for fried chicken. If you're not feeling a full three course balti, Zindiya offers amazing Indian street food. Loaf is a co-operatively ran bakery and cookery school that offer literally the best sausage rolls in the world. Whatever cuisine takes your fancy, you will find a restaurant in Birmingham cooking it to the highest quality.
If there's anything that will force you to make plans to visit Birmingham again, it's the food.
Drinking And what d'you know, it's not just great food here, but great drink too!
In the city centre, you're spoiled for choice. There's a Brewdog bar, serving a range of beers from the eponymous brewery alongside a smorgasbord of guest brewers. Just opposite is Cherry Reds (they also have a location in Kings Heath), serving craft beers in a cafe atmosphere. Located in a former, guess what, the Post Office Vaults invites you to take a look through their "Beer Bible" and select from hundreds of beers from around the world. Purecraft serves beers from the renowned Purity Brewing Company, and the food is amazing too.
Around what was formerly a financial district, you'll find a lot of popular bars in attractive buildings, such as The Old Joint Stock, The Lost and Found and The Cosy Club. In the Jewellery Quarter, you'll find the reasonably priced 1000 Trades (usually with a pop-up dishing out great food) and further afield, the Plough in Harborne.
Cocktails more your thing? You won't miss out. The Alchemist, Fumo, Ginger's and Gas Street Social all serve proper cocktails in trendy atmospheres.
On the same street in Stirchley and Cotteridge, you will find two of the countries highest-rated off-licences. Cotteridge Wines has been voted The Best Bottle Shop in England for five years running, and Stirchley Wines, just a few minutes walk away, is held in similarly high regard. Both have been listed in RateBeer's top four locations in the country.

Sport

Birmingham is famous as a sporting city. The Football League, the world's first league football competition, was founded in 1888 by Birmingham resident, and Aston Villa director William McGregor.
Along with the aforementioned Aston Villa, Birmingham is also home to another of the oldest football teams in the country, Birmingham City. Birmingham City's Ladies play at the top level of Women's football. The football season runs between August and May.
Edgbaston Cricket Ground is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club, but is also more prominently used for Test matches, One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. The County Cricket season runs between April and September. The Twenty20 season runs between July and September.
Birmingham and the nearby areas are home to two PGA standard golf courses; The Belfry, which has hosted the Ryder Cup more than any other venue, and the Forest of Arden, a regular host of tournaments on the PGA European Tour.
Arena Birmingham, formerly known as the National Indoor Arena, has hosted a number of World and European indoor athletics championships, and the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr is the headquarters of UK Athletics, and the home of the Birchfield Harriers, which counts a number of elite international athletes amongst its members.
The first ever game of lawn tennis was played in Birmingham in 1859 and the Birmingham Classic, played annually at the Edgbaston Priory Club is one of only three UK tennis tournaments on the WTA Tour.
There are two professional Rugby Union teams in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. Moseley Rugby Football Club play in the National League 1, and Birmingham & Solihull Pertemps Bees play in the Midlands Premier division. The Rugby Union season typically runs between September and April.
Birmingham is also home to the oldest British American football team, the Birmingham Bulls and the most successful team in University American football, the Birmingham Lions at the University of Birmingham. The Tamworth Phoenix, the current BAFA National League champions, are located in nearby Coleshill, and the Sandwell Steelers are located in the Black Country. The BAFA National Leagues season typically runs between April and August and the University season typically runs between October and January.
The Birmingham Bandits play in the National Baseball League, the top level of competition in the country. The season typically runs between April and August.
Birmingham will host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Entertainment

Film For those that want to catch a movie, there is, as you might expect, a range of chain cinemas in dozens of locations across the city in which you can catch the latest release.
But if you're looking for something really special? Why not check out The Electric, the UK's oldest working cinema?
Of course, they show the latest blockbusters, but they also show classic movies and special events throughout the year.
Music Whatever your preference, there's a good bet that Birmingham has had an impact.
We have the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra playing at the Symphony Hall for those with a more refined ear.
There are regular jazz festivals across the city and surroundings through the year.
Perhaps you've heard of the small time bands Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin and Napalm Death? Birmingham is the home to metal, and it's an influence that is still obvious today. You'll find local bands playing the full spectrum of metal at music pubs across the city.
If you want to check out a band on tour, we've got arenas that range in size from the huge (Arena Birmingham, Genting Arena) to the more modest (Hare & Hounds, HMV Institute) and those in-between (O2 Academy).
Theatre The Repertory Theatre is the UK's longest-established "producing theatre" and the Alexandra and Hippodrome are the go-to places to see shows on tour.
Those looking for a particularly classy night out can choose from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, resident at the Hippodrome, or the Birmingham Opera Company, known for their avant garde performances in non-typical spaces.
Museums & Galleries Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is the big one. A notable collection of Pre-Raphaelite work and the Staffordshire Hoard are probably the stand outs that it's known for, but there's a temporary exhibition space that hosts events like student exhibitions from local universities.
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts is located on the campus of the University of Birmingham, and was one of only five galleries outside London to receive five stars for having "Outstanding collections of international significance", and this relatively modest sized gallery hosts works by the likes of Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin and J. M. W. Turner and has one of the world's largest coin collections.
If contemporary art is more your thing, then the Ikon Gallery in Brindley Place is for you, hosting rotating exhibitions throughout the year.
The mac, located in Cannon Hill Park is an art gallery with rotating exhibitions that also hosts plays, concerts and film showings.
For further Museums & Galleries see the "Attractions" section.
Nightlife As a young city, there's plenty of places in the city to while the night away.
Broad Street is Birmingham's most well known area. It's a long street with very popular, relatively "bog-standard" bars and clubs, with large dancefloors and loud, popular music. PRYZM is the largest nightclub in the city, and Grosvenor Casino, open 24 hours, is nearby.
You'll most likely find single 18-25 year olds along this busy street just a few minutes walk from the very centre of the city.
Birmingham's Gay Village is also well established, with Nightingales being arguably the biggest name. Nearby, the Arcadian hosts a number of smaller bars and clubs.
The Jewellery Quarter offers more intimate nightlife options, and you're more likely to find a slightly older clientele sipping cocktails and listening to live bands than on their feet on a dancefloor.
Digbeth is where the cool people go in search of more underground fare. DJs and producers playing House, Techno (including the world famous "Birmingham Sound"), Dubstep, Garage and Drum & Bass congregate in the clubs in this area, catering to those that are happy to go all night. If you want to go even further off the beaten track, check out PST where you're likely to find Listening Sessions, showcasing a range of music from local producers.
Shopping The Bullring is the major shopping centre in Birmingham. It is one of Europe's largest and houses just one of four Selfridges department stores, housed in an iconic building. There are a number of stores selling fashion, cosmetics, toys and gifts and food.
The Bull Ring markets see 140 stallholders offering fresh fruit and vegetables, meats and fish, and basically every non-food item you can think of.
The Jewellery Quarter is Europe's largest concentration of businesses involved in the jewellery trade, which produces 40% of all the jewellery made in the UK.
The Great Western Arcade is a Grade II listed row of shops that cater almost entirely to independent retailers where you're almost guaranteed to find something unique.

Weather

We're a relatively temperate city, in that it rarely gets super cold, and rarely gets super hot. In the summer months, you can expect a twenty four hour swing from around 11°C(52°F) to 23°C(73°F), and in the winter months, anywhere between 0°C(32°F) and 7°C(45°F).
We get roughly 10-13 rainy days per month throughout the year.
Compared to other UK cities, we are relatively snowy, due to our inland position and high elevation, however, it rarely snows to a degree that it causes problems.

Environment

Birmingham is, perhaps surprisingly given its unfair reputation, an outstandingly green city. We have a stunning 571 parks in the city, more than any other European city.
Sutton Park is the biggest park in the city, and is Europe's largest urban park outside of a capital city. Around a quarter of the former Royal Forest is covered by ancient woodlands, and there are a number of large ponds and pools. It is relatively common to see deer and exmoor ponies in the less busy parts of the park. There are several sporting events held in the park throughout the year.
The Lickey Hills are home to a Green Flag awarded country park that offer picturesque views of the city of Birmingham, and are home to several species of deer, badgers and around ninety bird species, and some believe this favoured haunt of J. R. R. Tolkien formed the inspiration for the Shire in his famed The Lord Of The Rings series.
Cannon Hill Park is a 250 acre area consisting of woodland, grassland and several large ponds. There are areas for soccer, boating, fishing, tennis and mini-golf.

Travel

Due to its centralised location, Birmingham is well placed for transport. It is served by the M5, M6 (famed for the Gravelly Hill Interchange, more commonly known as Spaghetti Junction), M40 and M42 motorways.
Birmingham Airport (actually located in Solihull), is an international airport, with flights to and from to many destinations in Europe, North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Birmingham New Street is the largest railway station outside of London and serves locations across the country. Snow Hill and Moor Street act as the northern termini for trains coming from London Marylebone.
Buses are mainly administered by National Express, and the West Midlands bus route 11, also known as the Birmingham Outer Circle, is the longest urban bus route in Europe at 27 miles, taking around three hours to complete.
Uber operates within Birmingham.

Living In Birmingham

Many times we're asked here on brum "where should I live", "is area X ok to live in", etc. Much like everything else in Birmingham, there is a lot of variety. Houses can range from cheap as chips to pretty expensive, and each area of the city has its own up and downsides. It's not so easy to divide Birmingham by distinct areas of desirability, and some of the most expensive and sought after suburbs border those that aren't as popular.

Central Birmingham

Living in central Birmingham will be similar to living in the centre of any other big city, if you've ever done that. There will always be something to do on right on your doorstep, the social opportunities are immense, and your commute can be but a short walk to the office. Of course, this is often at the expense of a smaller, more expensive property, greater noise and everywhere is pretty busy 24/7. There are a number of distinct "regions" in the city centre.
Brindley Place & Surrounding Areas Likely the priciest part of the city centre to live in, but there are often more than small flats available. Penthouses, townhouses and large apartments are more common in this area.
Average property price: Anywhere from ~£150,000 to £1m+ Brindley Place on Streetcheck
Digbeth An area still undergoing gentrification, but also a focal point for up and coming independents in business, food, arts and culture. Most, if not all, properties in Digbeth will be flats. Most of Digbeth is a five minute walk to the centre of the city.
Average property price: £158,024 Digbeth on Streetcheck
Jewellery Quarter Great for food and drink, the Jewellery Quarter, while still a stronghold in the UK jewellery industry, is fast becoming one of the "cooler" areas to live in the city. Most, if not all, properties in the Jewellery Quarter will be flats.
Average property price: ~£200,000-250,000 Jewellery Quarter on Streetcheck

North Birmingham

North Birmingham has a large swing in terms of lifestyle. Some areas closer to the city centre are more economically deprived, whereas further away, the likes of Sutton Coldfield can boast some of the most expensive and most desirable locations in the Midlands. The transport links are, to some, an attraction to living in North Birmingham, usually being just minutes from several junctions on the M6 and M5.
Aston Aston as a settlement is very old, and has a real mix of history, ranging from the medieval to Jacobean to early 1900s. Most properties in Aston are terraced houses.
Average property price: £107,137 Aston on Streetcheck
Erdington Lying between the city centre and it's more expensive neighbour, Erdington is fast becoming a desirable location for those priced out of Sutton Coldfield. There is a range of properties from detached housing to flats.
Average property price: £163,075 Erdington on Streetcheck
Handsworth An "on the rise" area that can boast perhaps the longest list of famous residents in the whole city. There are a wide range of properties from detached housing to terraced houses.
Average property price: £144,484 Handsworth on Streetcheck
Sutton Coldfield A "Royal Town" and the fourth-least deprived area in the country, Sutton Coldfield is renowned as a very affluent area with many attractions. There are a range of properties from terraced houses to very large detached houses.
Average property price: £314,808 although houses can and do regularly top £3m+ Sutton Coldfield on Streetcheck

East Birmingham

East Birmingham is home to a diverse population, and a relatively green area stretching from the city centre to neighbouring Solihull, and is quickly finding itself a niche as younger folk priced out of Solihull move to a desirable location between the leafy town and Birmingham's centre.
Bordesley Green Traditionally an area popular with immigrants, and mostly consists of terraced houses.
Average property price: £122,712 Bordesley Green on Streetcheck
Stechford Mostly terraced housing with a tonne of local ameneties and is cut almost in two by the River Cole and has a large nature reserve running through it.
Average property price: £150,085 Stechford on Streetcheck
Yardley & Sheldon An historically old suburb of Birmingham, with a dedicated conservation area and many local ameneties. There are a range of properties from detached houses to a small number of flats and apartments.
Average property price: £162,601 Yardley & Sheldon on Streetcheck

South Birmingham

The south of Birmingham is home to some of the "coolest" suburbs that are quickly gaining popularity, seated between the city centre and what you might call "countryside" towards Warwickshire.
Hall Green Encompassing much of the Tolkien trail, this suburb borders Shirley in Solihull.
Average property price: £209,923 Hall Green on Streetcheck
Kings Heath, Stirchley and Cotteridge These three closely related suburbs are quickly becoming seen as an affordable alternative to Moseley.
Average property price: £211,276 Kings Heath on Streetcheck
Moseley With a real "village" feel, there are many renowned drinking holes and eateries, with a large range of property types.
Average property price: £276,533 Moseley on Streetcheck
Sparkhill Home to a large population of immigrants, it's not surprising that Sparkhill is home to much of the famed "Balti Triangle". Most of the properties are terraced houses.
Average property price: £142,394 Sparkhill on Streetcheck

West Birmingham

As you move away from the city centre towards the Black Country, you'll come across some of the city's most sought-after locations for both young and old alike.
Edgbaston A very affluent suburb that is also home to much of the University of Birmingham campus. There are a number of very large houses, but also a large number of flats and terraced houses. Houses can and do regularly go for £1m+
Average property price: £301,851 Edgbaston on Streetcheck
Harborne A Victorian-era suburb with a large amount of terraced and semi-detached housing, located between Edgbaston and Quinton.
Average property price: £278,266 Harbone on Streetcheck
Selly Oak The majority of residents in this suburb are students at Birmingham's universities. As such, it has many transport links to the city centre. Most of the properties are terraced houses.
Average property price: £221,046 Selly Oak on Streetcheck
Quinton This green suburb basically forms the very western border of the city before you enter Sandwell and Dudley. Most properties are semi-detached.
Average property price: £258,077 Quinton on Streetcheck

Outside the city

Birmingham is part of the greater West Midlands conurbation, so it can be used as a hub for exploring the region easily.
Solihull is situated on the south-eastern edge of Birmingham. Solihull is an affluent town with a mid-sized town centre, and a number of smaller villages located more rurally.
Coventry can be reached via the M6 or A45, and is roughly a half an hour to fourty minute drive from the city centre.
Stratford-Upon-Avon, famed for being the home of William Shakespeare, is located roughly an hour away from the city centre.
Warwick, the home of Warwick Castle, is located near Royal Leamington Spa, and is about an hour by car from the city centre.
The Cotswolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, can be quickly reached, anywhere from one to two hours away from the city centre.
Worcester and the Malvern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, can be reached via the M5, around an hour and a half from the city centre.
On the western edge of the city, the Black Country, consisting of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton can be found.
Further out west, the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be found.
To the north of the city, Cannock Chase, a large, heavily wooded Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is located.

Their conversation was interrupted by a few of said members entering the casino and approaching them, which made Akande and Lacroix get up and fight them.

Las Vegas Layouts that Have Never Become a Reality

Las Vegas Layouts that Have Never Become a Reality
Las Vegas is the heart of casino spots that has acquired the reputation of a legendary destination for not only having diverse means of entertainment in place, but also for its widely known tourist attractions. Nevertheless, there have been devised lots of projects in regard to the existing landmarks, but many of them have never become a reality. Let’s take a look at the most renowned of those.
Voyager Big Wheel
https://preview.redd.it/abb0jhav9oa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=d51f38338d24378863b1e17537aa44a90a48d7c0
Such tourist attraction as the London Eye has become a legendary landmark of Great Britain. If Las Vegas managed to make its plans come true, then its own gigantic wheel would be installed on its territory for the benefit of reckless gamblers.
The company behind this project has made several attempts to implement their plans. The first one happened fifteen years previously when the Rio real estate company offered its financial support worth more than 80 million dollars for the wheel and the nightclub to become part of the local landscape.
However, the proposal was doomed to failure, but soon after that, the gigantic wheel idea was taken up by the Voyager Company. At that moment, they had a wide water park territory at their disposal. It would have become a decent part of the newly installed Palace of the Sea Resort and Casino, but this idea also resulted in complete failure.
Beverly Hillbillies Site
https://preview.redd.it/jg2212zx9oa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=28a9a111f82d9f6c5cb02cfb6a40162f69520505
One of the other out-of-the-box plans was made up by Las Vegas’ popular TV show star commonly referred to as Jethro,amateur gambling and slot machines in particular and this plan was about to come true as well, but failed to be realized in practice.
The actor behind this proposal was supposed to construct a resort venue which would be themed in the best traditions of his show. The suggested location for the resort was one of the popular districts of Vegas.
According to the actor’s plans, it was intended to add an oil drill tower and the grandmother’s kitchen to the area. Evidently, this was not the brightest plans ever seen by Vegas, but it was still an extremely exciting one.
London Resort and Casino
https://preview.redd.it/bk33w1bz9oa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b08cd90cf0cbec01f0053b5514831f6774fd680
The Sin City is known for its truly diverse casino locations which were inspired by different thematic features derived from all over the world. Some of the gambling-driven places are inspired by the Egypt-styled elements, while some others have originated from the most romantic part of Italy – Venice. On the other hand, there is quite a surprising New York inspired casino, whose primary origins can only be wondered about.
This luxury list was about to be complemented by the London theme as well.
The plan for constructing a London-themed resort near the Luxor casino was once proposed by a true enthusiast. It was supposed that the casino site would include the big wheel, the circus and a department store among many other places for the visitors to have fun.
The next attempt to make this plan come into reality targeted another casino site, which is known as classic El Rancho casino. However, the construction has not even started.
Desert Kingdom
https://preview.redd.it/f0ofark0aoa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3d6b43806f6f82ddaf17dc9821468708b8170ae
The old territory of a widely known Desert Inn was bought by the ITT/Sheraton Company at the beginning of the 1990s. The novel property owners used to have many lofty ideas as for how to make use of the area to the fullest.
The primary idea was to build a Bali-inspired resort location that would be named Desert Kingdom. It was supposed to take the shape of a resort that would be constructed all around the already present Desert Inn in order to safeguard a valuable part of Las Vegas’ history.
Regrettably, the proposal never came true, while the area is now occupied by the Wynn Las Vegas property.
Planet Hollywood
The Planet Hollywood venue is a world-class casino site located in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, its history of existence began quite differently as the previous proposals regarding the upcoming resort were eventually abandoned.
This was a very exciting yet unrealistic plan that presupposed building a resort on the territory of the current Desert Inn casino. It is not surprising that the plan never happened to be completed. In fact, the design of the future resort was in many ways similar to what Luc Besson is depicting in his movies.
Fortunately, in 2007, a more realistic design was devised and later introduced to the public.
Titanic
https://preview.redd.it/1kvfudm4aoa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b70da4c4d3ee2768b7f11e3d4e8f99e0df8c57e
The film industry was shattered by the release of the Titanic movie at the end of the 1990s. It has actually turned into one of the most prosperous movies of the century that won a whole bunch of noteworthy awards.
The film was directed by James Cameron, while the main roles were performed by legendary actors. The plot followed a romantic idea of a love affair between the pair of passengers who travelled on the ship. The flourishing destiny of the film inspired one world-known casino holder Bob Sturpak to devise a plan of constructing the Titanic-themed resort site in Vegas several years after the film had been released.
The resort location was supposed to be equipped with more than a thousand rooms for visitors and it was also proposed to add the time sharing spaces that would assist in funding the project.
The city authorities, however, refused to implement the plans, while the subsequent attempt to construct a similar resort was also doomed to failure.
Las Vegas Plaza
In 2007, Phil Ruffin traded the New Frontier project to another company for more than one billion dollars. The project, however, was devastated in no time. The resort in place of the previous casino was supposed to be named Las Vegas Plaza and was estimated to cost 5 billion dollars in total.
Nonetheless, the construction works never began.
Two years ago, the Crown Resorts casino bought the area from the previous owner for a bit less than 300 million dollars. This means that the ill-fated previous holder of the territory not only failed to make the projected design come true, but also suffered a loss amounting to 900 million dollars on the whole affair.
Fountainbleau Las Vegas
If to think of the whole range of failed construction designs in Las Vegas, the best of all those projects can be found to the north from one of the city’s strip bars. The area was primarily bought by the Turnberry Company at the start of the millennium. However, the construction started only in 2007 when the project of Fountainbleau Las Vegas casino was introduced and was estimated to be worth almost 3 billion dollars.
This was where all the misfortunes began. Two years after the start of the project, the investors took back 800 million dollars in the form of the loans. The resort area at that time was not yet fully completed.
The design project was then repurchased by another company for 150 million dollars a few years after the incident. Today, the area remains incomplete with the company being not eager to finance it fully. On the positive note, the company has disapproved of the idea to clear out the area, so we might still hope that someday the estimated resort area will be fully finished.
BYD’s Echelon Palace
https://preview.redd.it/8fisxoocaoa11.png?width=974&format=png&auto=webp&s=469023b49faf05116296413dd2ea9a664b1fa0cc
This plan was supposed to be implemented by the Boyd game producing company whose director was thinking of turning it into a casino area in Las Vegas. The company had previously been the owner of another casino site since the 1980s, but this very district was their unique chance to construct a place of entertainment of a totally different level.
The previous casino net was devastated in order to pave the way for the planned 4 billion dollar-worth resort. Unfortunately, after the world’s financial downfall in 2007, the project was demolished and never came into reality.
The company was forced to abandon their plans and sold the construction area to another gaming producer several years later for a much smaller sum of 350 million dollars. This indicates that the Boyd producer experienced a loss worth almost a thousand million dollars, but their gambling project never saw the world.
