US News and World Reports has an article about the 10 next up and coming real estate markets.Pittsfield makes the list. Which means that The Maplewood condominiums are a great buy...

Some of the old Independent staff, including venerable editor Perry Teasdale, are back with the on-line Columbia Paper. I also saw a print edition in the Chatham Getty.We wish them the very best!

If you live in the Town of Austerlitz the Town Board has released the Proposed Zoning Law.Public debate is April 18th, a short 3 weeks away. I'll be commenting from a Realtor perspective once I've fully digested it.

While looking for a property in Claverack I came across this:http://www.weirdass.net/pages/2005/clav_history/ancrams_history.htmlNo... I don't know anything more about it. But I think the fact that it's on a site called "weirdass.net" should be enough to peak anyone's curiosity...

A while back, my wife couldn't remember the date of my birthday, and in a feeble attempt to cover it up, she declared that we would celebrate the whole month.In a way, it's much nicer than limiting oneself to a single day. A month gives time to reflect on just how wonderful I really am.

So, there's been this quirk with the website that's been bothering me for a while. The header images didn't line up with the listing images on the homepage, and the list of agents didn't right align either. I've fooled around a couple of times trying to fix it, but never hit the right combination of dumb luck and technical prowess to make it right.Today, while redo-ing the top and land images I

Spencertown had a turnout of over 800 people to vote in yesterdays election. That's out of 1,200 residents. Definitely keeps your faith in democracy alive!And the pork dinner was it's usual hit - which may explain the turnout!

Crellin-Morris Sunday Soccer ended the week-end before last. If you want to support a seriously great local organization that affects hundreds of children's lives, this is a good place to help. Can't say enough good things about the people who donate huge amounts of time and effort to bring soccer to the youngsters, and provide a safe, healthy after-school environment for kids.And while I was

Columbia County has a new "portal" - CCScoop.Fine coverage of the local soccer scene, food scene, arts and even some original news reporting.

Have you ever watched a TV program or listened to a radio show where a real estate professional is discussing selling a house and they just slip into this industry specific jargon and you have no idea what the heck they're talking about...Well, neither do I....

Some funny things happened as I drove in to work this weekend.No one cut me off. No one stopped in the middle of the road for no reason. No one walked out in front of my car. The Tanglewood lot was empty.It was almost like... summer was over....

Blue moon, blue ridge, blueberry ribs. Yes...Entered them in the Old Austerlitz Historical Society Blueberry Festival Recipe Contest. And despite their blueness, they tasted pretty darn good if I say so myself which I have to because no one else will.No word yet on the winners... go figure... You think they're just trying to be polite?

Odd title considering I have the Police on the tPod, but I guess I have the Heads on the Brain.Anyhow, Haven Cafe. Wow. Barbara told me it was great - opened up earlier this summer but for whatever reason I haven't stopped till now.Great coffee, great atmosphere. Friendly people. Actually helpful and friendly. Nice menu, nice place to sit. I plan to frequent frequently on my own frequency.
