I meant to look up a 2008 comparison of number of sales when I did my post yesterday and did not.  You may find it interesting (at least I hope so lol). During the same period (January through July) of 2008, there were 317 homes sold.  In 2009 there were 221. Quite a few more [...]

How non-green can you get on Earth Day? Ask RTA. Maybe it’s a trial balloon, or maybe it’s a serious consideration. What am I talking about? The potential to eliminate weekend bus routes.

One of the new home owners in Park Square (on Public Square) talked about loving the windows. Amen to that.  I love this building and the views.  You look out over Euclid Avenue and see the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial from your living room.  And the Old Stone Church.  It’s truly spectacular, day time or [...]
