Edaville Railroad is for sale. Asking price is $10 million. According to news reports, the operators have decided not to renew their lease and the property owner said that he's hoping to find a buyer who will keep the railroad open, but if he doesn't find a buyer in a few months that he'll be for...

I go to quite a few networking events and I all around just try to meet new people. After someone asks what I do, their next question is always, "how's the market?" That answer depends on where you are. If you are looking to buy, the market's great. Interest rates are low, there's lots of invento...

This is a great post by Claudette Millette that I wanted to share - because she said what I wanted to say, but she said it better. A recent cover of Time Magazine featured the phrase, "Rethinking Homeownership" and dwelled on the downside of owning a home since we have been through some turbulent...

Basically they will close off the smaller roads leading over the bridges and force everyone over the b...

When you live in Massachusetts you drive "down the cape", never "up to Cape Cod" like you hear in movies. I love Cape Cod and I love just jumping in the car and going for a ride. We started...

I just received this notice in my email: 22 Union drivers of the ATU, Local 22 called in sick today leaving passengers who ride the WRTA stranded. The WRTA is doing everything possible, within legal means to get the service restored as quickly as possible. I guess they're fighting over health ins...
