Danny Ismail, co-head of strategic research at Green Street, joined Nareit's REIT Report podcast to discuss how real estate and REITs are positioned in the current highly volatile market environment created by last week's White House announcement on tariffs.Ismail said there's good reason to fear a slowdown in economic growth resulting from an increase in tariffs, not just from potentially higher import costs, but also a pullback in business investment as well as consumer spending.As for the market response, “we'll see how the next few weeks shake out, but thus far REITs and real estate appear to be a relative safe haven,” Ismail said. One reason for that is the starting valuation of REITs prior to the tariff announcement, where REITs looked attractive relative to the S&P 500. “REITs came into this environment on the cheaper side, while private real estate came in looking fairly valued,” Ismail noted.

It was recorded by Blue Note Records on April 1,1961 but despite the date, Mr. Green was no fool! It put Grant Green who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri on the national Jazz map.as one of the two foremost guitarists to emerge in the 1960's along with Wes Montgomery. Green played the guitar like a saxophone and emphasized single lines and delivered these with his huge pure sound.

The album consists of five selections with Monk's classic "Round About Midnight" being one and "Alone Together" being the other standard tune. The other three are Green's original tunes.

The company was founded in 2015 with the goal of delivering curated smoking essentials directly to consumers. Hemper collaborates with artists and influencers to create innovative, limited-edition designs that appeal to both casual and experienced smokers. The brand has grown significantly, becoming a go-to source for affordable and stylish smoking accessories.The story of how Bryan essentially graduated from college on the East Coast while simultaneously building the dream team to scale Hemper is one that you truly can't miss.

In the quiet corners of Enfield, London, where the streets are lined with ordinary lives, there stood a house that whispered secrets into the night. It was the autumn of '77 when the Hodgson family moved into 284 Green Street, unsuspecting of the shadows that lurked within its walls. Peggy Hodgson, a single mother with four children, sought nothing more than a place to call home. But the house, with its creaky floors and silent stories, had other plans. It wasn't long before the ordinary turned eerie, where toys didn't just play but seemed to live, and furniture moved with a will of its own. This wasn't the tale of a ghost, but something far more unsettling, a poltergeist that made its presence known through the laughter of the unseen, the cold touch of the unknown, and the voice of a child speaking in tones of the grave. The Hodgson children, especially young Janet, became the unwilling conduits for this spectral force. Neighbors heard the screams, the police witnessed the impossible, and investigators from the Society for Psychical Research captured the chaos on tape. What unfolded was a saga of terror where reality bent, leaving behind questions that haunt to this day. Here begins the story of the Enfield Poltergeist, a chilling reminder that sometimes, the darkest mysteries reside in the most unsuspecting places.

Interview with Karen and Don Peris of Innocence Mission. The first studio album from the innocence mission in four years, Midwinter Swimmers sounds immediately like an old friend. At the same time, it's a new kind of adventure for the beloved Pennsylvania band of high school friends Karen Peris, Don Peris, and Mike Bitts, having both an expansive, cinematic quality and the strange, lo-fi beauty of a newly discovered vintage folk/pop album, brimming with melody. Midwinter Swimmers is being released November 29 by Therese Records in North America, Bella Union in the U.K. and PVine in Japan. “It's like it was recorded at Western Electric in the 60's, and makes me think of Vashti Bunyan or Sibylle Baier, but also has these emotional bursts of orchestration and drums and harmony coming in - the sound of the innocence mission never stops getting richer”, writes one early listener and friend. Lead single and album opening song ‘This Thread Is a Green Street' is a perfect entrance into the innocence mission's sound and sensibility. Karen Peris describes it as “a sort of envisioning the landscape as a world of doorways, that might allow us to locate memory or to be nearer in some way to people we miss. And the transportive quality of scenes we might come upon in the natural world, or even in everyday objects- a sewing thread when I'm mending something could remind me of a street map. One of the things about recording it was, how to find this feeling inside the sound, and how to find the half-remembered beauty of sing-alongs of our 1970's childhoods. There's a search in recording that goes on being elusive, in a good way.” ‘This Thread...' is the first of a trio of songs on the new album (the second being the title song) about missing a loved one who is away, and of how love can transcend distance, Karen says. Piano melodies and high electric with strummed nylon string guitars make a glimmery soundtrack for ‘Midwinter Swimmers', a happy-sad song of hopefulness about seeing an absent loved one soon. It takes place during an instant when swimmers seen at a distance through tears are refracted and appear as something beautiful and moving. Something of this feeling is echoed in the recording, made with a spontaneity and a sense of trying to capture a single moment and hold it up to the light. This attentiveness to small detail typifies the way the innocence mission's songs look closely at everyday moments as miraculous worlds of their own. Karen's words stand on their own as poetry, with a particular sense of place and color, of the visual, that communicate universal experiences of change and loss, and of love, hope, and gratitude. Walking is a recurrent happening in Peris' songs, as she finds herself taking walks on most days of the year, and looking up into trees, which continue to be another feature of her lyrics. In one verse of closing song ‘A Different Day', she relates a favorite sycamore tree to an imaginary appaloosa horse that she might ride to visit a friend, underlining her hope that she could be made into a stronger, more courageous person who is without anxiety. This same hope of personal transformation is present in ‘Orange of the Westering Sun', which recalls being in California to record the innocence mission's first two albums. “This was at Joni Mitchell's house, and the air always smelled like lilies so it became Easter-like, which may have been one of the reasons that there was the feeling of being at the start of something”, Karen remembers. (In a full-circle experience, Karen, whose first favorite song at five years old was ‘Both Sides Now' was invited by Joni to sing on her album Night Ride Home, an honor she treasures.) On the opposite US coast, a favorite place visited by the Peris family called Two Lights in Cape Elizabeth is the setting of the dynamic and ambient ‘The Camera Divides the Coast of Maine'. Karen explains the song is “thinking about the nature of place in regard to time - when we think of going back, is it as if to visit an earlier time in our lives? I often think of the Ivan Lalic poem that says something like: Is this a street or years?” Here, and throughout the album, there is a palpable emotion inherent in Karen's voice, and in the distinctive combination of Don's luminous, high electric guitar lines with Karen's low (baritone and nylon string), rhythmic guitar and piano playing. Their longtime friend Mike Bitts adds a further dimension of upright and electric bass. ‘There is a companionship about Karen's voice,' Don Peris says, ‘and a realistic joy and gratitude, in the midst of life's difficulties, that she is expressing here on songs like ‘Sisters and Brothers'. I feel bolstered and comforted by them'. Innocence Mission Info theinnocencemission.com www.facebook.com/innocence-mission-111422858887453/timeline/https://www.instagram.com/theinnocencemission/

He added that there are also companies in the office sector trading at premiums to NAV and “that's going to influence how they allocate capital.”Green Street sees the strongest rent growth potential in data centers. “That story has been well told, but it remains an area where we think there's meaningful upside,” Lachance said.
