Fans mourn death of California’s famous ‘drive-thru’ sequoia

The Pioneer Cabin Tree, estimated to be more than 1,000 years old, toppled and shattered from its historic height in Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Calaveras County, California, over the weekend.

In photos captured on Sunday, the “drive-through” massive sequoia tree could not endure the flooding caused by rainstorms throughout the weekend. Jim Allday, who is a volunteer at the park and took the photos, told the San Francisco Gate that the tree fell around 2 p.m. and “shattered” when it hit the ground. He also added people had been walking through it that same day. Back in the 1880s, the Pioneer Cabin was hollowed out so tourists (and even cars!) could pass through it. It is a stop on the “Big Trees Trail” within the state park. It's really a lose to the great park and future visitors. 06968e5b30244a72a7b6f083ffe1dba5The Pioneer Cabin Tree, estimated to be more than 1,000 years old, toppled and shattered from its historic height in Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Calaveras County, California, over the weekend.

This DJ Khaled, man this guy knows how to strike a hot oven.  This guy is everywhere and it looks like it's paid off big time.  To the tune of $9,900,000.

The hip-hop producer and Snapchat guru ponied up $9.9 million for the Mulholland Estates residence, which the British pop star first listed for $11 million in June, Variety reported. The stately chateau, described in marketing materials as a “restored modern traditional,” has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. It features a double height foyer, formal living room, marble fireplace, eat-in kitchen, and gym. On the grounds, there’s a courtyard, dining loggia, swimming pool and cabana, and an outdoor fireplace. Jeff Kohl and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency were the listing agents.

Ivanka and Jared Kushner buy just blocks from Obama

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner may have found a new home for their family in the nation's capital. Ivanka and her real estate mogul husband have completed a deal for a beautiful home in an elite neighborhood,  just blocks away from the  house the Obamas are set to move into once they leave the White House. The 94-year-old home was just renovated but it doesn't look like Ivanka's taste at all to me and I'll be surprised to see if she keeps it this way.  A giant 6,870 square feet, the home has 6 bedrooms and 7 baths. There are two kitchens, which I love. One is in the basement in the kids area, which makes snacks and clean up so much easier.
