Americans tend to be obsessed with royalty.  Two hundred and thirty five years ago we were fighting to get away from the monarchy -- but now we seem to be collectively drooling over the upcoming royal wedding. And we love to dub businesses with royal titles, too.  And look how some succeed! You h...

I came upon this Pennsauken, New Jersey listing.  An estate sale.  A challenged listing.  And, boy, did these listing agents rise to the challenge! This, from the listing remar...
