Can anyone help me know what to do? The...

    Teardown House in Rosemary Beach Hello everyone in sowal reading this! I am amazed at this blog.

    Salty Dog closed

    I think it is reasonable for restaurants to stay open as late as they need to, to serve customers. 4 am makes sense to me in many places. I guess you don't like NYC!

    Tootsie you are always looking at the bright side and I don't disagree, but I still hate having the school leave. I always enjoyed seeing the little children on their walks holding to the rope...it is the neatest thing...

    Crate-0-Miniums?

    I would have hoped for "25% of" as opposed to "25% less"... With the depressed real estate market up there, I would think the buyers could find an off the shelf home for a bigger cut than that...

    Rosemary Beach new restaurant?

    CCJ is right about it being SABA but we don't know to what year the September opening applies. Cow Girl Kitchen has moved into Rosemary across the street from SABA and it is really a hit. Great pizzas too. They have wine and also beer on tap. Immediately west of Rosemary (walking distance)...

    Is the worst behind us in the credit crunch ?

    My guess is that they will not cut again, this week. As much as I hate to believe this, I do not think the worst is over with bank write offs.

    Article in Barrons

    You are right Shelly they almost always say "that" but as Erma said years ago, the grass is always greener over the septic tank... Michigan, for example, would trade with FL in a heart beat I think.

These "appraisal clearing houses" that these lenders use find the low ball appraisal bidder and that is who they...
