Make way for The Rosalia, a new hotel coming to Pottsville
POTTSVILLE — Beneath its Doric columns and busts of Greek gods, a 29-year-old entrepreneur announced plans to convert the Miners National Bank to a hotel Tuesday evening at a gathering outside 120 S. Centre Street. 'We loved this building so much,' Hannah Corbacio said, 'we built our business plan around it.'

(MATTHEW PERSCHALL/MULTIMEDIA EDITOR) If all goes well, Corbacio and her husband, 30-year-old Nick Hair, will open the doors of the Rosalia hotel in spring 2026. In partnership with Bill Metzinger, owner of Metz Properties, who bought the building from Santander Bank, the Pottsville couple will operate an upscale 30-room hotel, venue space and day spa in the former bank building. Work crews began the conversion of the 24,000-square-foot building this week. The bank, a landmark known for the 10-foot-tall brass doors depicting coal miners at its entrance, was incorporated in 1828.

This project is the second biggest after the revitalization of the former St. Francis Orphanage, now 900 Market Street apartments. The Rosalia hotel, Metzinger said, is his first venture into Pottsville. In recent weeks, about 30 city officials and others visited the property to offer advice and assistance. 'It's refreshing that business and investors can work hand-in-hand with the city to do great things,' Metzinger said. On Tuesday, plans for the project was officially unveiled. After the outside program, a crowd of more than 100 assembled inside the bank's 40-foot-high lobby.

Supreme Court building, the bank's lobby features French limestone, Italian travertine stone floors and hardwood paneling and teller's windows. State Sen. David G. Argall, R-29, Rush Twp., called attention to about $8 million invested in the city's downtown in recent years.

Plans call for it to include event and conference space. (MATTHEW PERSCHALL/MULTIMEDIA EDITOR) Projects included Alvernia University PottsvilleTowne campus, the Pottsville YMCA, Black Rock Brewpub and The Chopping Block. The Rosalia has received $450,000 from a $1 million state Keystone Communities grant Pottsville shares with Tamaqua. 'I want to congratulate PADCO, the city, Metz Properties, Hannah and Nick on their dedication to turning this dream into a reality,' Argall said. Savas Logothetides, PADCO executive director, recognized Hannah Corbacio and Nick Hair's involvement in Ignite Schuylkill, a Chamber of Commerce business incubator program, where the initial proposal for a downtown hotel surfaced. 'They wouldn't give up, and they were stubborn about it,' he said. 'If I could buy stock in Hannah and Nick, I would.' A banner for The Rosalia hangs during an official event Tuesday to announce plans for renovating the old Miners National Bank on Centre Street into an upscale hotel. (MATTHEW PERSCHALL/MULTIMEDIA EDITOR) The Pottsville couple own HC Digital Agency, an online marketing firm. Hannah is the daughter of John Corbacio of Pottsville and Rhoda Gerace of Schuylkill Haven. Nick is the son of Constance Ridge, formerly of Pottsville. Robert S. Carl Sr., Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, said the new hotel would boost tourism in the area. 'Tourism is measured by overnight stays,' Carl said. 'It's difficult to measure it if there are no overnight stays.' State Reps. Tim Twardzik, R-123, Butler Twp., and Jamie Barton, R-124, East Brunswick Twp., were among the guests. City Councilman Andrew Wollyung represented Pottsville, and chairman Ian Lipton represented the Pottsville Redevelopment Authority, which approved a $75,000 grant for the project.

Rosalía and Sofia Richie's Met Gala 2025 Nails Are the Perfect Bridal Manicure
The French manicure has traditionally been the ultimate bridal go-to, until Jennifer Lopez's 'milky nails' for her wedding to Ben Affleck. Since then, the style has emerged as the big trend in bridal manicures—until Rosalia and Sofia Richie made their appearance at the Met Gala 2025, that is. With their spectacular white dresses and matching manicures, both confirm that white nails are the perfect new style for brides. Rosalia, with a white manicure at the Met Gala 2025. Of course, the white manicure technically isn't anything new. The classic style is beloved by Jennifer Lopez in particular, and it's little wonder why. According to manicurist Erica da Silva, it's one of the most versatile nail polish shades, and since it's a natural tone, it's especially rejuvenating for older hands. 'It's comparable to seeing a radiant white smile,' says da Silva.

Charli XCX teaches peers to build a world or be forgotten
When Charli XCX took the stage at Coachella last month she knew the world was watching. Having created a movement with her three-time Grammy-winning album Brat, she used the globe's most renowned music festival to pass the baton to her peers in the throes of readying their own albums. Celebrating 'the end of Brat Summer', the main stage screen pulsed with the names of artists set to release records over the next few months. Among names like Haim, Pulp, Rosalia, Bon Iver and A$AP Rocky was New Zealand artist Lorde. But it wasn't just a bequeathment, it was a challenge. Could they make an album with a title that became the 2024 Collins Word of the Year? Could they have fans searching for album Easter eggs and debating and unpacking lyrics in comment sections? Could they inspire fans to record their own deep-dive manifestos on TikTok and rehearse the choreography to perform for them at their concerts all over the world (read: the Apple dance)? Could they create an entire world within a record? Whether Charli XCX's artist peers realise it or not, to have a successful album that connects a global music community, they have to build a world around a release or be forgotten. In fact, it's why the rollout for Lorde's upcoming album Virgin has been so meticulously planned. In her first interview about the record — with BBC Radio 1 on May 1 — the Kiwi Grammy winner said she's grateful to Charli for the challenge. 'Brat coming out really gave me a kick in a lot of ways,' Lorde told BBC's Jack Saunders. 'It forced me to further define what I was doing because Charli had so masterfully defined everything about Brat, and I knew that what I was doing was very distinct to that. 'When a peer throws the gauntlet down like that, you're like 'Okay, yeah, we've gotta pick it up'. I've spoken to a lot of peers who've all had the same feelings. It's very sick and I'm so grateful to her.' As the latest torchbearer of pop culture fandom, Lorde has stepped out of her four-year hiatus since Solar Power and wasted no time introducing the world to Virgin, out June 27. April 9, 2025 – TikTok teaser sparks speculation Just days before Coachella, Lorde posted a 15-second snippet of unreleased music to TikTok. With its hypnotic production, vision of her walking through Washington Square Park, and the lyric 'What was that?', the clip was her first major signal to fans that a new era had begun.

'Brat gave me a kick in a lot of ways,' she said. She also discussed how much of the album was never meant for public listening; it was instead intended to be written just for her as she deemed it 'too bold'. Released on the same date, Lorde's cover story with Document Journal detailed how the album processes her relationship with food and body image. 'I had made my body very small, because I thought that that was what you did as a woman and a woman on display,' Lorde said. 'I thought, 'I'm small. This will communicate to people that I'm taking my position seriously'.' Lorde for Document Journal's Spring/Summer 2025 issue Credit: Document Journal Lorde told Document Journal she was 'very weak' and 'felt like every bite of food I had was stolen.' 'I look back now, and I don't have that same feeling of floating away,' Lorde said. 'I eat as much as I want and need now. I wasn't very embodied. 'This album is a byproduct of that process of fully coming into my body and feeling the fullness of my power.' In a note to fans, Lorde says Virgin was produced with Jim-E Stack and includes UK artist Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged of LA R&B duo Inc. No World, Frank Ocean collaborator Buddy Ross, Olivia Rodrigo co-writer Dan Nigro and Devonté Hynes AKA Blood Orange among the credits. She also noted it was mixed by Spike Stent and Tom Elmhirst and mastered by Chris Gehringer. As part of a deliberately immersive rollout, Lorde has prioritised direct fan engagement; communicating updates via her newsletter, setting up a voicemail line (now at capacity), and teasing further announcements in the coming weeks. '100 per cent written in blood,' she wrote in a note to fans.

FC Barcelona Reveals New Shirt For El Clasico Versus Real Madrid
FC Barcelona has revealed the exclusive new shirt it will wear for its potentially La Liga ... More title-deciding clash with bitter rival Real Madrid later this month. FC Barcelona has revealed the exclusive new shirt it will wear for its potentially La Liga title-deciding clash with bitter rival Real Madrid later this month. In line with its sponsorship agreement with Spotify, Barca has often used the logos of famous music artists instead of that belonging to the streaming giant which usually adorns first team jerseys and training apparell. In spring 2023, it was Catalan singer Rosalia's logo that appeared on the Blaugrana shirt as a late, 92nd minute Franck Kessie winner effectively handed Barca its first Spanish top flight crown in four years via a 2-1 win. Then in October last year, the Rolling Stones were chosen to feature on Barca's gear but didn't bring good luck as a Jude Bellingham double sunk Xavi Hernandez's men in Montjuic. Fast forward to the present and Barca is a much improved side under Hansi Flick. Snatching the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup titles from Madrid, it is also through to the Champions League semifinals and could go a long way towards wresting back La Liga from Los Blancos if it beats them for a fourth time this term on May 11. For the occasion, Barca will maintain its recent tradition as revealed approaching the weekend and a league encounter with Real Valladolid. FC Barcelona on X: "TRAVIS CULER 🔥 @spotify @trvisXX 🌵 / X As shown in social media posts, Barca will use Travis Scott's 'Cactus Jack' logo for the latest edition of the soccer world's greatest derby. The rapper can be seen wearing the jersey in a photo shared to X, which contains the caption 'Travis Culer', with the latter a reference to what Barca fans are known as in Catalan. In another post containing a GIF of the Texan, Barca says that the design is 'more than a kit' for what is 'More than a match', in a nod to its famous 'More than a club' slogan. As SPORT points out, Scott's music is often heard coming from the Barca dressing room and is favored by the likes of star player Lamine Yamal. Versus Madrid, the youngster might be inspired to put on another genius display as seen when tying Inter Milan in knots in the Champions League midweek. FC Barcelona Vs. Real Madrid takes place on May 11 at 16.15 CEST/10.15 EDT.
