Kissing Statue in San Diego  "Unconditional Surrender" or more affectionately and informally known as the Kissing Statue, is located at the marina in San Diego inthe  park adjacent to the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum along the Embarcadero. This 25 foot statue is actually one of several versions in other cities including NYC, originally conceived by Seward Johnson and based on an iconic photo of a sailor kissing a woman in a white dress on V-J Day, August 1945 (the day Japan surrendered, ending WW II). It was pretty cool to see when you read about the history, especially the location in front of the Midway Aircraft Carrier. The statue was originally installed in 2005 after being exhibited in Sarasota, FL, but was later dismantled and returned to NJ for some restoration in 2012; a bronz... 02/22/2017

For Sale by Owner in San DiegoSometimes San Diego homeowners decide to sell their home on their own and bypass a listing agent. This is when the homeowner sells their home without a real estate agent and takes on the real estate transaction without an agent representing them. From my experience I usually find that for sale by owners, as their called, are independent and tough minded individuals who think they can do it without an agent. They’re usually people who have a “can do” or “I can do this” attitude and they’ve in many cases done a lot in life on their own without the help of professionals. They are the DIY “Do It Yourself” folks. My hats off to them, I’m the same way in some areas.The statistics are something like 9 out of 10 homeowners who try to sell their home by themselves e... 02/18/2017
