kansas: Lawrence, Kansas = Clinton Lake and Canoe Ideas - 04/28/07 04:32 PM
Heidi has big ideas about the Canoe that she got for her Dad's birthday.
The canoe has dreams of floating on Clinton Lake near Lawrence, Kansas. Clinton Dam was built in 1971 to reduce seasonal flooding in the Wakarusa Valley. In this area, the Kaw River and Wakarusa River come together to make a rich valley. Wakarusa is a word taken from the Potawatomie language meaning "knee deep in mud." There was a severe, damaging flood in 1951. Read more about the Floods of 1951 . Clinton Lake provides safety and earth protection from flood damage and far more with the recreational … (7 comments)

kansas: Overland Park, KS - A Place to Count on - 04/18/07 06:37 PM
When kids live in a neighborhood where the homes belong to them and their familes, they tend to stay closer, playing in their own yard or with friends a few doors away. Apartment complexes have a different culture for kids to get around in -- strange halls to roam, new people moving in, friends being temporary, moving away just about the time they get acquainted
I've had clients tell me that their kids calmed down in school after the family bought a house. I know of one little girl beset by sleeping problems while her family was in a temporary renting situation, … (0 comments)

kansas: Why don't we just let the landlord have those headaches? - 04/18/07 01:32 PM
Renting works in some circumstances, but when you are ready to commit to the community and make a home somewhere, buying your own spot on the earth becomes a fulfilling experience for you and your family.
There are some top level gains from owning your own home such as
tax savings. Knowing that the mortgage payment will be the same helps you budget without the stress of potential rent increases. You aren't stressed by landlords highgrading the value of the property by dodging maintenance issues to your discomfort. Your own home is an investment and an equity for your valuation. As the … (0 comments)

kansas: Sellers who do it now get to benefit as well as the buyers. - 04/14/07 01:23 PM
Ever wonder just what touches and small repairs you could do to have your home ready to market? Why wait till listing time or sale time to get your place spruced up. You get to enjoy the benefits and preventive maintenance is often easier and less expensive than waiting until action is necessary.
What would you like to have someone coming to your home to have as their first impression? When someone pulls into the driveway, will a rickety, paint-chipped fence catch their eye? A dead or overgrown shrub? These ase some little things that make all the difference if you … (0 comments)

kansas: Shawnee, Kansas -- Spring Comes - 03/21/07 06:02 PM
The fresh spring weather is coming to the KC Metro area. Forsythia and dogwood are blooming before their leaves emerge. The redbuds are beginning to show that outrageous HOT PINK floral celebration.
The Kansas City area has a flexible, but typically pleasant climate for you to consider when you are choosing a new place to live. There is some summer heat, but it could be worse, as could the winter weather. Any negative side seems unappealing at the moment in time it is occurring. But, we find, as a rule, that KC has a pleasant, steady weather pattern that allows for … (0 comments)

kansas: Kansas -- Will the Toll Road become a Sugar Daddy for the University Maintenance? - 02/02/07 08:29 PM
A solution has been brought up to add to the toll fees -- a surcharge, don't ya know -- to accummulate monies for the maintenance of the University buildings in Kansas.
A worthy cause, there can be no argument, but there are risks in making any part of the system dependent on another part that has a surefire income source -- and income source that has been designated for transportation. Missouri created some parasitic situations which were made pretty uncomfortable when voters chose to have transportation money go for transportation projects.
I find it difficult to believe that Kansas hasn't some education … (0 comments)
