Here’s what Waterfront City will look like
It seems like a second Solidere to me, minus the controversy that surrounded the expropriation phase in the early 90s.
I guess the biggest challenge that will face the developers is most probably trying to convince zouzou ebba drivers to show off their skills somewhere else than the marina!

Shake Shack opening in ABC Achrafieh
I was at ABC Achrafieh yesterday and noticed Shake Shack will be opening there instead of Bob’s Easy Diner.
As you all know, Shake Shack is also set to open at Beirut City Centre and I heard it’ll be soon during this month, but I hope someone from Al-Shaya can let us know about the exact opening dates for both locations.

Charles Ayoub begs Bashar Al-Assad for money
I’m not sure what Charles Ayoub has been smoking lately, but it sure seems like good stuff. The man wrote an article literally begging the Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad to lend him $700,000 since his newspaper (Addiyar) is going through a financial crisis, otherwise he’ll have to act against his father’s will and sell his house!
You can read the whole article here.

Photos from the clashes in Saida
The clashes between Ahmad Al-Assir gunmen and the Lebanese army have been going for around 24 hours now and it seems like the army is determined on either arresting Ahmad Al-Assir or getting him out of his complex in a body bag.
According to The Daily Star, the clashes have so far claimed the lives of at least 17 soldiers and more than 25 gunmen.
Below are some photos I managed to collect through twitter as well as a video showing some bodies of the gunmen. I hope it all end soon for the good people of Saida.

Wassim Nasser breaks Lebanon’s long distance swimming record
Following his failure to break Lebanon’s long distance swimming record last year, Wassim Nasser broke that record yesterday by completing a 45Km swim from Beirut to Amchit!
The previous record was held by Abdel-Latif Abu al-Hauf who swam 42Km back in the 1960s.
