Return of Live Sports?

by Mary Melnick

Jul 6, 2020

For the past couple of months, sports came to a halt, and the only games on TV are reruns of past games, of which everyone already knows the ending. The funny thing is, people still watch these games and get mad again, even though they know what’s going to happen.

During this time, the NBA’s season was cut short and the MLB season was suspended indefinitely, with a chance of not playing at all. Over the past couple weeks, these organizations have worked out logistics on how to safely bring these sports back.

The NBA is set to come back July 30, with 22 teams returning to finish the season and secure a playoff spot. The rest of the season will be played in Orlando, Florida, at ESPN World Wide Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort. For safety reasons, there will be no fans in attendance, and all teams will stay exclusively at select Walt Disney World Resorts. The teams will return to play for their seeds in the playoffs; after the seeding games, playoffs will continue as normal. For more information on the return of the NBA, visit NBA.com.

There were a lot of rumors and talk about how the MLB season was going to be canceled this year, along with a lot of disagreements between the league and the players over terms and conditions of a 2020 season. Don’t worry, they have come to an agreement and are scheduled to return at the end of July, with a shortened season of 60 games. Like the NBA, there will be no fans allowed at any games. For everything you need to know about the 2020 MLB season, visit ESPN.com.

Although I will miss going to baseball games at Citizens Bank Park this summer, I am excited to watch the Philadelphia Phillies and Sixers play again.

Hôtel de Sers Reopens in Paris

One of Paris’ most elegant addresses has reopened following a full renovation. Hôtel de Sers, part of the B Signature Hotels & Resorts portfolio, was once the private mansion of Henri-Léopold Charles, Marquis de Sers. Located within the illustrious Triangle d’Or, close to the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne, the property’s refined décor and original Haussmannian architectural elements have been carefully preserved. These include a spectacular marble staircase and the structure’s original carriage entrance, along with period features such as wrought-iron details and magnificent moldings and ceilings of the original salon de réception.

Global City Guidebook: Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is not only one of the capitals of South Africa but also the oldest city in the country. Cape Town hugs the Port of Cape Town in Table Bay, extending to the Hottentots Holland Mountains. The city endured years of segregation during apartheid, including uprisings. Today the city continues to rebound in a post-apartheid era, with many major companies headquartered in the city center, popular beaches teeming with visitors in warmer months, engaging museums and aquariums, and a thriving tourist industry promoting the city’s culture and natural beauty.

Hotel Saint Augustine Review

Blending with its Montrose neighborhood like the indigenous and cultivated plants hugging the property’s walkways, the newly built Hotel Saint Augustine opened mid-January 2025. The first Bunkhouse hotel in Houston, Texas, is easily mistaken for garden apartments. Seventy-one guest rooms and suites encompass a tree-lined block. The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.
