Central Ohio: OooOoo That Smell - 02/28/12 04:50 AM
Central Ohio smells like skunk for a good reason. I quote Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks on Facebook "OooOoo that smell...can't you smell that smell?" On Facebook Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks says that smell is a sign of spring.
Yahoo!

Real Estate Value Question: Tub or Shower? - 02/24/12 08:34 PM
Tub or Shower?
Real Estate Value Question
Years ago Inman News columnist Illyce Glink had a very entertaining column .... bath or shower?
Or was the question Tub or Shower? I believe the discussion started with a question from older homeowners who wanted to take out a bath tub in their home and replace it with a shower. The question was would removing the bath tub ruin the value of the home? Should the owners crawl over the side of a tub each day to preserve the real estate value or have a convenient walk in shower installed? A question about value … (9 comments)

Old Worthington Ghosts: Who you gonna call? - 02/19/12 04:36 PM
...Old Worthington ghosts? Who you gonna call?
Actually I did not call. I received a call. A "paranormal investigator" called me last night about the building that was Fine Lines (a stationery store) on High Street in Old Worthington. Why me? Because I shared the "story" in 2009 and 2010 about a ghost rapping on the alley door of the store at 657 High St. Worthington, Ohio.
The video was made by the Worthington Library....

What if your state outlawed real estate agents? Or "banned" those real estate professionals who did not have a broker's license from doing business?
