I had a chance to meet Scott Brown in Santa Monica earlier this week. Scotty is a real estate agent working on the higher end of the market with properties in Malibu. One might think that that part of the market would be immune to the foreclosure issues facing lower price points, but that’s not [...]

I recently took at look at what Mexican restaurants are most popular with Urbanspoon users in the Twin Cities to see what people seem to be enjoying these days. I’ve included the top-75 below. Why 75? It turns out that the reality based, quisling community has 74 restaurants that they enjoy more than the first [...]
