When you see the big blue cans at the beach, recycle.  Not the used sand but just about everything else can go in the cans.  Virginia Beach is trying its first full season of recycling.  This is just a trial period and isn't costing the city anything yet.  Lets hope that our visiters from out of ...

Will smokers still buy cigarettes in Virginia Beach with a 22 percent tax increase?  Six months I would have said no but now that gas is $4 bucks a gallon I don't see many people going out of the way to say some pennies on smokes.  Some fear that smokers will go elsewhere to buy and put the budge...

I was preparing for a Brokers Luncheon at my new home site in Chesapeake at Westchester Estates when I tripped over the threshold going outside.  I heard something pop but didn't know what it was.  I fell very hard and it seemed quite fast.  None of that slow motion stuff.  The next thing I knew ...

I saw a blog the other day on tankless water heaters and found some information I thought I would share as I do sale new homes in Chesapeake, VA.  I am going to have my builder look at them and see what he thinks.  We could promote them as "green houses" with a few more tweaks. Here is some info ...

Portsmouth officials are talking about extending the MLK freeway all the way to I264.  This would give motorists anouther north-south option through Portsmouth, always a good thing.  Of course this will only happen if the new Midtown Tunnel is built and we all know where the money for that is. ht...
