Hummingbirds are fascinating and beautiful, and this is the best time of year to set up a hummingbird feeder, said Steve Kramar, owner of Backyard Birds in Bloomfield Hills. He said the first hummingbirds usually arrive in metro Detroit in mid-April.
The Israeli architect and conservationist Ramy Gil recalled that 20 years ago vacant buildings abounded in Jaffa, and he had become obsessed with one of them: a peeling 19th-century plaza that once housed The School of the Sisterhood St. Joseph’s Convent and Jaffa’s French Hospital, so named because its founder, the Lyon-based Francois Guinet, insisted on using entirely French building methods for its construction. Its walls were rotting, its central terrace was packed with garbage, and creeping weeds covered former malaria wards. Deep beneath its structure, however, Mr. Gil was sure there was a buried treasure: an intact stone wall, dating back to the Crusader period, that had once formed the perimeter of a 12th-century fortress.

With his future assured, and his services to the latter-day equivalent of Tammany Hall rewarded, he finally got around to giving up his government parking pass just this week.
