Something that was sent to me. Made me wonder how they managed to get somebody to put up that sign so that their feeding wouldn't be interrupted.

A few weeks back Terry Chenier posted a blog about the landmark clock in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Throughout North America many towns have similar stories of clocks erected or as a focal point around their older town business districts. This can also be said of Waterbury, Ct, where there 2 similar style clocks in the central business district, but neither of them is more pronounced than the clock atop the current offices of the regional/local newspaper, the Waterbury Republican American.  Formerly Union Station, an important stop along the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and the grand train station opened in 1909 and is still considered among the most spectacular buildings anywhere in New England. Complete with gargoyles, the tower houses a clock, the largest in New England. The ...

With qualified buyers in the market place looking for the best deal they can get, they are first drawn to the idea of getting a bargain with a foreclosure. The belief is that the desperate banks will accept a good offer even if it's not near the asking price. If the foreclosure is a clean home requiring minimum work to make it move in comfortable, then it's not likely to stay on the market long and often will see multiple bids, ultimately being sold over asking. The market demonstrates a reluctance to pursue a listing that is being offered as a distressed or short sale listing. So much is written about the banks' reluctance to negotiate a short sale, or lack of response, or delayed response. This leads to the frustration of waiting weeks or months to hear whether or not the bank will s...

Harsh winter a sign of disruptive climate change, or another cause of global warning. This is a reality that the earth's oceans are getting warmer and the end result is a change to the ice density of the polar caps. Last week a group of concerned activists assembled to protest Global Warming.

There are only 87 Days left to get a home under contract in order to qualify for the First Time Homebuyer's Tax credit and the expanded $6,500 for Move-up buyers. Last December, the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit was extended and expanded.  Previously, the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit was only available for first time home buyers (those buyers who had not owned a home in the three years previous to the current purchase) and was only available on homes that closed escrow before December 1, 2009. However, President Obama signed an extension on this deadline to apply to any homes purchased from November 6, 2009 to May 1, 2010 and allowed all homes that have a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010 to qualify for the up to $8000 tax credit (based on purchase price of home)...

Today is Groundhog Day, the annual right of early spring when a known member of the rodent family, known as either Punxsutawney Phil, or Staten Island Chuck, or Sir Walter Wally, or General Beauregard Lee or Wiarton Willie and a host of others. Punxsutawney Phil and his cousins has emerged to see his shadow before chilly revelers, meaning winter will last another six weeks. German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 - the Christian holiday of Candlemas - winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early. The Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club annually announces Phil's forecast at dawn on Gobbler's Knob, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Phil's announcement came before hundreds of onlookers ...
