Bouillabaisse-Marseille-France-Legendary Fish-Stew-Soup
When you think of Marseille what comes to your mind? Mischief, Sailors, Debauchery, Vice, Vulgarity and of course Bouillabaisse, Marseilles is one, if not the oldest city in France. The history of this seaport city goes back to the days of Julius Caesar and Pompey. Marseilles has weathered time and has become outside of Paris a   Cultural Center. This is not the Marseilles of “French Connection” fame.
Enough digressing let me give you what you really want:  The World Famous Bouillabaisse ala Endre Barath Marina Del Rey Style. Since I do not want to insult, the great Seaport and … (31 comments)

Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium Market Report for February 2011
Most of you, who read my Market Reports know that I am a big proponent of the Theory that Real Estate is local, Not only local and more so there are Micro Markets within the local areas. At the same time you have to look at the Housing Trends not only for the local but the larger picture as well.
If you take all that into consideration the probability is very likely that you will make the right decision about buying or selling.
Now with that said let us look at … (20 comments)

Have you noticed the changes? Old Jack in the Box vs. New Jack in the box?

They have a larger variety on their menu: for example egg-rolls, tacos, breakfast burritos and ciabatta burgers. Then they have seasonal items such as Philly Cheese steaks, teriyaki chicken and rice bowls.
Anyway about half the country is familiar with Jack in … (21 comments)

I found the beach vacant, hardly anyone out there. I understand the Weather Forecasters missed their predictions. They said there will … (13 comments)
