Historic Leclaire District - 07/21/08 11:04 PM
I've always had a love of history.  Living in Madison County has allowed me to enjoy numerous historical landmarks such as the Lewis and Clark trail, Cahokia Mounds and The Benjamin Stephenson House.
My favorite area that relates to real estate is the charming Leclaire Historical District in Edwardsville.
State Route 159 cuts through the Leclaire District.  It's lined on both sides by mature trees and creates a beautiful scene in the summer, spring and fall.
For lovers of historic homes, the Leclaire district has quite a story.  It was founded in 1890 by N. O. Nelson, and was chosen as a … (0 comments)

If It's Not Scottish... - 07/16/08 10:21 PM
I love Madison County.  There is such a great variety of hidden treasures.  Luckily, we live close enough that crossing the river to enjoy the culture and entertainment of St. Louis isn't such a bad drive.
My husband and I had been excited about going to the Scottish Arms for a while, since his family line traces back to the Scottish Highlands. The decor was beautiful. Nice dark wood, decorative ceiling tiles, and loads of items from Scotland on the wall.
The owner was extremely nice as well. The mussels we ordered weren't up to his chef's standards, so he gave us … (0 comments)

To Tour Or Not To Tour? That Is The Question - 07/09/08 12:12 AM
In the age of $4.00+ gas, not to mention greener living, how many offices still have a car tour?
My current broker likes to point out that our agency is "full service", that this is our business and car tour is our duty as agents.
When I was younger my Grandfather owned a brokerage.  That was back in the day when Century 21 agents at his office wore "gold" blazers.  They had car tour like it was a religion.
I've only been in the real estate industry since 2005.  I can see the value in car tour for the newer agents.  When I first … (2 comments)

St. Louis Area Good Eats - Bella Milano - 07/07/08 11:40 PM
My husband is a military brat.  From Hawaii, to Greece, to Italy, he's been all over the world.  For our first wedding anniversary he wanted Italian food.  Growing up in Italy most of his life I knew he'd be disappointed in a chain restaurant.  I planned on making the trek across the river to the Hill.  Then I remembered Bella Milano - right here in my own backyard.
I researched the restaurant on-line, because he was really anxious for some osso buco.  Unfortunately, it wasn't on their menu.  We gave it a shot anyway.
Quite honestly, I was pleasantly surprised.  They promise … (0 comments)

St. Louis Area Good Eats - 07/07/08 11:27 PM
Although I'm a real estate professional by day, my night time guilty pleasure is watching Food Network.
I grew up right here in the Midwest, and as a kid my palette was pretty much limited to any vegetable you could fry, meat and potatoes, and sweet tea.  Don't get me wrong - I love the Midwest culture - and that, of course, includes the food.
I moved to Las Vegas shortly after broadcasting school.  It was here that I was forced to try new and exotic foods.  Yes, a jalapeno pepper was exotic to me at that time.  You see, in the arid … (0 comments)

July 4th Metro-East Fireworks Displays - 07/03/08 04:03 PM
I love the 4th of July.  It's been my favorite holiday since I was a little girl for so many reasons.  I've always been fascinated by the sizzle and loud booms of fireworks, I love summer, and most of all I love my country.  The 4th of July is all that is great about America - from the flag lined streets in local cities and villages to the smell of St. Louis style ribs and hot dogs on a hot grill.
However, the 4th of July has had a more important meaning since our country has been at war.  While we are celebrating … (1 comments)
