LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- A car crashed into Monique Brewster’s home on April 27, which she said marked the seventh time a collision of this type has happened.When comparing pictures of the home when she bought it nearly four years ago to now, seemingly the only aspect that has not changed is its location. The house, with a view of the McCullough Mountain Range, once sported automatic driveway gates to protect her vintage cars, a foyer overlooking the mountains, and a water fountain.“It was paradise, you know?” Brewster said, looking disappointedly towards her front yard Wednesday morning.Now, the driveway gates sit immobile off its cracked track, the foyer walls lay on the floor and the water fountain is destroyed. A black Tesla, she said, is just the most recent vehicle to collide with her property, despite the giant boulders she added around it. “Even before I could see anything, the wall was coming in, and my China cabinet and the things I have in my hou...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:44:52 GMT

Minnesota United will forgo the style points at this stage of the 2023 season. The key thing Wednesday was the Loons ended a six-match winless streak with a 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo at Allianz Field.The Loons took the first half but it should have been more. But given how MNUFC had been shut out in three of its last four matches, they will take what they can get.In the 14th minute, United’s press forced a Houston turnover, and Bongi Hlongwane took advantage of the gift with a toe-poke goal for his team-leading third goal of the season.After Ibrahim Aliyu’s shot went off the corner of the goalposts in the 22nd minute and Dayne St. Clair was needed for a sweeper-keeper moment 40 yards away from goal, the Loons had three golden scoring chances.Steve Clark denied them all. First it was a double save of Franco Fragapane and Hlongwane in the 43rd minute and Luis Amarilla’s header in the 45th minute.Clark was there again with a shoulder save to deny Fragapane early in the second half.Th...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:44:52 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Nick Gordon fouled a ball off his right shin and crumpled to the dirt in pain. Four innings later, Joey Gallo did the same.Gallo was still dealing with considerable swelling after the game, but he avoided a fracture. Gordon wasn’t quite as lucky. The Twins’ utilityman suffered a fractured shin, manager Rocco Baldelli said, and is expected to miss considerable playing time.To top things off, second baseman Jorge Polanco also left early, straining his hamstring while running to first on a groundball in the fourth inning of what for the Twins became a quite painful 7-3 loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon. That makes Thursday’s off day in Southern California particularly well-timed as the Twins assess the injuries and sift through potential roster replacements.Polanco said after the game that his hamstring felt tight, but he and the team would see how it feels on Friday and go from there.“What happened to me last year (with injuries), it made me more aware,” P...
