LOS ANGELES (AP) — At least 55 people were hurt, two seriously, when a Metro light rail train and a University of Southern California shuttle bus collided Tuesday along a busy thoroughfare in downtown Los Angeles, officials said. We’re a family-owned company guided by a set of principles that empower us to act as a trusted partner to our customers, communities and teammates. These beliefs motivate us to innovate and transform for the future and are the foundation to our ongoing success. During the 1990s, Charlotte Tractor was consistently ranked as one of the top five New Holland dealers in the nation. Although the company is one of New Holland’s largest parts dealers, its ties were broken temporarily with the manufacturer in 2001, and at that time the company became the number one Kobuta dealership in the nation. Now back under New Holland’s wing, Charlotte Tractor, with plans to continue growing with the line, hopes the bond will bring success for both companies.

The Starcraft 40-passenger bus was traveling westbound on Exposition Boulevard with only the driver and one passenger aboard when the collision occurred, according to a statement from USC Transportation. The bus driver and passenger were the two most severely injured, according to fire department officials. In 2019, Highway acquired its first Kubota dealer in Millstone, New Jersey and quickly earned the “Kubota Elite Dealer” status—a testament to Millstone’s quality customer service and incredible brand representation.

Exposition Boulevard was closed in both directions during the initial investigation. Metro said its train service would be limited and buses would be used to get passengers through the crash area. Dave Sotero, a spokesperson for LA Metro, said the bus crossed into the path of an E Line train.

However, as you’ll learn further down, once the rubber hit the road, the price of a Lustron home was well underestimated. Once the rubber hit the road and Lustron was in production, the company needed to increase their asking price tag to DOUBLE their original estimate. Recognized for its distinctive front entrance, the Newport model showcased Lustron’s commitment to innovative design.
Ohio
In peacetime, Vitreous Enamel made porcelain-coated steel, used in the construction of gas stations. Strandlund was told if he would manufacture housing, there would be government contracts, and the Lustron Corp. was born.Strandlund originally wanted to stay in the Chicago area and had his eyes on a plant built by the Chrysler Corp. to make B-29 bombers. But Preston Tucker, who planned to make his eponymous automobile there, bought it. Instead, Lustron found a massive factory in Columbus that Curtiss-Wright had used to build fighter planes, and manufacture of the homes started in 1948. The initial goal was to turn out 85 houses a day (rising to more than 400) and offer three different styles of two- or three-bedroom homes.
Why were Lustron Homes So Popular?
You can find an interactive map of the existing Lustron homes as well as the homes that have been lost to demolition online. These homes are rightly cherished by their owners and preservationists for their historical significance and unique architectural features. Initially, the builder offers a 1,000 square-foot bungalow home featuring two bedrooms and 2-foot square steel panels for the exterior.
Westchester
Despite this history, the Lustron offers an abundance of useful experience, including some important successes, regarding the opportunities and pitfalls of architectural prefabrication. First, and perhaps most prominent among the Lustron’s successes, was the surprising degree to which it reached its target market and captured the popular imagination. The most reasonable explanations for this aspect of its success were an aggressive marketing program (which included one Life magazine ad that elicited an amazing 150,000 responses) and its appealing, highly practical layout. While modest in size, the Lustron’s design successfully integrated evolving concepts of modern convenience with traditional ideas about the single-family domicile. Its bungalow-style layout attracted conventional devotees of the single family home; meanwhile, it offered the unusual convenience of fully integrated modern appliances, included in its base price. He unveiled a groundbreaking concept – homes made entirely of prefabricated steel – which allowed for mass-produced housing and quick assembly.
They submitted places and specifications to local building authorities, and even lobbied on a national level for building code reform. Material acquisition issues plus slow production resulted in Lustron losing money on a daily basis. Even with hefty government loans, Lustron kept lobbying for more funding. They were even accused of paying a government official, Senator Joe McCarthy, to promote Lustron.
And that increase didn’t make Lustron homes as affordable as originally promised. As noted above, the original goal for Lustron was to provide a house around $5,000. The Lustron Corporation faced several challenges that ultimately led to its closure. Despite initial success and widespread interest in Lustron homes, the company encountered financial difficulties, production issues, and competition from traditional homebuilders that led its decline and eventual closure in the early 1950s. Approximately 2,500 to 2,680 Lustron homes were built between 1948 and 1954.

The parts were loaded on to a truck and delivered to the building site, where they took mere weeks to construct. The flagship model, the Westchester (floor plan shown above) was known for its spacious design and additional features. There was also the Westchester Deluxe model appealed to those families with larger space requirements, with an extra bedroom and additional built-in storage. To accentuate modern living and efficient use of space, Lustron homes incorporated built-in features such as cabinets, shelves, and even furniture like in the photo below. Were sleeping in cars, garages, attics, boxcars, even chicken coops!
Like most old houses, the passage of time has naturally taken its toll on Lustron homes. However, dedicated preservationists and homeowners have recognized the historical value of these unique homes and embarked on efforts to maintain and restore these steel-clad residences. The enameled steel surfaces made cleaning a breeze, reducing the maintenance burden on homeowners. Because the interior and exterior finishes were baked on, it never faded and homeowners never have to paint. You literally cleaned the exterior with a garden hose, interior with soap and water.

Unlike the many catalog offerings, these homes only came in four basic models — Westchester, Westchester Deluxe, Newport, and Meadowbrook — with 2- and 3-bedroom variations. The signature porcelain enamel exterior finish came in a choice of only four colors (Surf Blue, Maize Yellow, Desert Tan, and Dove Gray). Each home came with a plaque with an embossed model and serial number, and an owner’s manual, as if it were a car or appliance. By 1932, General Houses, Inc. was producing small, prefabricated units using steel construction as well as utilizing metal as an exterior and interior finish material.
But last week I learned about a different type of “kit” house on one of my favorite podcasts – True Tales from Old Houses. Lustron Homes, popular about 50 years after the height of kit houses. Similar in that all the parts needed to build a house were packaged and shipped to a homeowner, BUT Lustron’s claim to fame was their building material – porcelain enameled steel (versus timber). Everything -- the floors, ceilings, walls and roof -- is made of steel panels.
In some municipalities, for example, an ordinance prohibited homes with steel chimneys. A house contained over 3,300 parts, pieced together over an average of 350 hours, or 2 weeks. The skeleton was made of steel frames, welded into walls and roof trusses.
But Mintz also discovered that the Lustron Company, despite the relatively small, boxy frames and potentially kitschy connotations of its product, was ahead of its time. The enterprise abruptly closed in the 1950, victim of a one-two punch of rising steel prices, due to the Korean War and a loss of government funding (Strandlund received most of his capital from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation). The roof was usually metal tiles, but occasionally asphalt shingles were used. The whole house was said to be able to be assembled in 360 man hours.
The company received a multimillion-dollar loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to get started. There are also 5 Lustron homes in the Kansas City area near 85th and Wornall Road. One of them was the display model and residence of the local sales representative. Local legend says that the salesman came home one day and told his wife that he no longer had a job because the company was bankrupt, but they still had their house.
In the early 20th century, both Sears and Montgomery Ward sold homes through their catalog that could be bought and assembled on a plot of land. Buckminster Fuller conceived of the Dymaxion house, a small home that could be taken apart and moved as the situation called for it. An inventor and businessman with experience at John Deere and Minneapolis-Moline, Strandlund had helped convert Vitreous Enamel Products Co. to wartime production.
Around 1,000 square feet, Lustron houses are small by today’s standards, but have some unique features. Because the walls are metal, the only thing needed to hang pictures are magnets. Lustron enthusiasts have worked to document and preserve the houses across the country. Concerns about energy conservation are sparking new interest in smaller homes. During the California gold rush in the mid-1800s, houses were built off-site and shipped to be assembled quickly in the boomtowns that developed.
The last time I ate Ian Pengelley’s food I was surrounded by strippers. For some reason he was overseeing things at Wild Ginger, a pan-Asian dining room inside Spearmint Rhino.

Herbivores can rejoice as this new 100% plant-based casual café dishes up the best vegan delights on the west side.
We went for lunch (when it was rammed) and ordered a couple of dishes from a good-value set menu, plus a few from the surprisingly affordable à la carte. Seafood dumplings (prawn and scallop, prawn and chive, and sea bass) lacked the translucent finesse of the very best but they definitely delivered on flavour. So did a good bowl of seafood noodles, bulked out by some massive, meaty prawns.

Norwegian Sun's top deck mostly comprises sunning areas, with a single pool and whirlpools, as is typical for ships built more than two decades ago. Only solos staying in the solo cabins (via keycards) can access the Studio Lounge, meaning that you and your new solo friends will have the place to yourselves. Unveiled in 2022 and 2023, respectively, the 3,195-passenger vessels are the first entrants in a new class of Norwegian ships that the line has designed to be more upscale than its earlier vessels. In addition, Norwegian Encore has a large laser tag area on its top deck (one that I can tell you from personal experience is a blast) and a massive indoor gaming and virtual reality zone called the Galaxy Pavilion.
A Southern Caribbean Family VacationTHEY'LL NEVER FORGET
Again, the types of rooms you can expect to find will vary, based on which ship you’re sailing. Just like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian has a variety of offerings for its passengers. Find out more about its ships, rooms, dining options and activities. They’re built to host a whole bunch of amenities, including pools, live entertainment, spas, fitness centers, casinos, lounges, bars, clubs, shops and more.
Cruises
All cabins on Norwegian vessels have standard North American-style, 110-volt outlets and European-style, 220-volt outlets. As is typical for big-ship cruise lines, Norwegian has an extensive children's program, with programs and activities for children as young as 6 months through the age of 17. On the line's Breakaway-, Breakaway Plus- and Epic-class ships, you'll find giant waterslides and kiddie splash zones and, in some cases, even more over-the-top attractions such as go-kart tracks and laser tag arenas. Norwegian ships also all have Mandara Spas, which can be quite big on the bigger vessels, and there are fitness centers on every ship.

For starters, Norwegian Encore is home to some of the most thrilling waterslides at sea, as well as a kiddie splash zone that will have your little ones squealing with delight. But those are just the appetizers when it comes to family fun on the top deck of the ship. In contrast to airline frequent-flyer programs, cruise line loyalty programs do not require you to requalify for status every year. But it's not as difficult as it might at first seem to hit the more rewarding higher tiers in just a few years if you're cruising a lot. Lower tiers don't bring all that much in terms of truly valuable benefits.
Norwegian is also heralded for kicking off the trend of more solo cabins on cruise ships. In 2010, it debuted an entire zone of small studio cabins for one — 128 in all — on its then-new, 4,070-passenger Norwegian Epic, and it has since added them to seven more new ships. Norwegian vessels also offer lots of options for daytime fun but are particularly well known for evening entertainment. You'll find everything from music halls with Beatles cover bands and dueling piano bars to theaters with some of the most elaborate shows at sea — including some big-name Broadway productions. Aboard the Norwegian Encore, for example, you’ll find seven different room types, including several different types of suites, ocean view and interior rooms and studio rooms for solo travelers.

That said, NCL also has new ships scheduled annually to increase its fleet size in the years ahead. The truth is there are a lot of things that are similar between Royal Caribbean and NCL. For the most part, taking a cruise on either line will have a similar feel.

Unveiled in 2019, Norwegian Encore is, notably, the 23rd biggest cruise ship in the world as of this story's publishing (it will drop in the rankings over the coming years as additional megaships debut). At 169,116 tons, it's bigger than all but three Carnival ships. Only Royal Caribbean and MSC Cruises have significantly more bigger vessels. We’ve broken down the differences between these two cruise lines, including what you can expect on board and who might enjoy these types of cruises.
An Eastern Caribbean Cruise Vacation for the Whole Family
It comes complete with a cover band that plays the group's greatest hits. Many of Norwegian's biggest ships have state-of-the-art theaters as big as those you'd find on Broadway, with big-name productions to match. Norwegian Bliss, for instance, has the Tony Award-winning "Jersey Boys."
Eastern Caribbean Cruises
An Eastern Caribbean cruise awaits you on Norwegian Cruise Line. Wake up to turquoise, float into sapphire, and snorkel into aquamarine. Paradise has many shades and you’ll see them all onboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Eastern Caribbean cruises.
With 11 convenient departure ports, escaping to paradise has never been easier. Pay airfare for one guest, and you'll automatically lock-in roundtrip flights for two. Secure these savings online by choosing your nearest airport in step one of your cruise booking, and enjoy air-to-sea made easy.
They still offer plenty to do (ziplining, pool, watersports) and enjoy, but it’s not quite the massive scale you’ll find at CocoCay. Norwegian offers two — Harvest Caye near Belize and Great Stirrup Cay in The Bahamas. Royal Caribbean offers CocoCay in The Bahamas and Labadee, Haiti. Norwegian seems to focus more on outdoor dining, with several spots on its ships where you can sit in the outdoors and eat without having to worry about the wind ruining your dinner or sun beating down on you. Royal Caribbean doesn’t seem to offer as many places to eat outdoors with a view of the water.
The currency used on all Norwegian itineraries is U.S. dollars. All vessels operate on a cashless system with any onboard purchases you make posting automatically to your onboard account. On all ships, smoking (including e-cigarette smoking) is only allowed in designated outdoor areas, cigar lounges (for cigar smoking only) and casinos. Passengers caught smoking in their cabins will be fined $250 per occurrence. For those with money to burn (pricing on Norwegian Encore recently was $99 per person for a day pass), the Vibe Beach Clubs are lovely, secluded deck-top hideaways. However, there's a downside for everyone else on board the ships that have them, which is that they take away from the deck-top lounge space available to everybody else.
Choose from a wide variety of ships, including Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore or one of our newest class Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva. Choose from 11 convenient departure ports and itineraries that offer plenty of time in paradise to Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, and Southern Caribbean cruise ports. Along the way, experience the freedom and flexibility that only Norwegian offers and enjoy a journey as exciting as the places you visit. The line's nine newest ships are big, bustling floating megaresorts that can carry upwards of 3,000 to 4,000 passengers at double occupancy (and even more with every berth filled). At around 143,000 to nearly 170,000 tons, all eight currently rank among the 50 biggest cruise ships in the world (although their rankings will shift downward as more big ships debut).
Try amazing Eastern Caribbean street food throughout your trip. Keep your eyes open as you zip through trees and valleys in St. Kitts. Whatever you dream, your possibilities are as wide open as the Caribbean Sea.
However, depending on the size of the ship, they could be farther from entertainment and dining areas. On big ships, there may be 10 or even more flights of stairs between your cabin and the pool, sun deck, buffet, and other amenities found at the top of the ship. There will be elevators, of course, but you should expect queues at busy times. Pioneered by Norwegian Cruise Line, solo traveler cabins are becoming more common across the industry.
