I live in Jackson, Mississippi--three
hours north of the Gulf Coast. Jackson is in the GO Zone.
The GO Zone is having a very different
impact on the Jackson area than was originally anticipated. In some ways, it
is downright WEIRD.
I've published a paper called
"The GO Zone White … (2 comments)
One of Lake Anna's big pluses is that we (property owners) do not have to worry about flooding. What a plus that is when we see the current television coverage from the mid-west that is suffering from flooding in many places. Wisconsin, Iowa, and other states are experiencing terrible flooding and the threat of even … (4 comments)
FINALLY, the Ocean Springs bridge that runs on highway 90 to Biloxi is finished. Got to see it this weekend. The new bridge is a high rise, while the old bridge was a draw bridge. Been stuck on the old bridge many of times waiting for the shrimp boats to go … (4 comments)
It is funny this year we have grandstanding for the next presidential elections taking place and no one is really addressing and issues that effect you and I in real estate. We are not foolish enough to belly ache about our own ccareers and brokerages. We do not have it as … (12 comments)
We've all seen the devastation that Mother Nature can cause, from hurricanes to earthquakes, wildfires and beyond. Often times, families are left with destroyed homes, or badly damaged homes and no power for a very long time. "In the wake of disasters, small comforts make a big difference." This headline can be found … (16 comments)
On August 29th, 2005, I was sitting in a hotel room in Fort Walton Beach, FL, with my wife, my best friend, and his wife. We were attempting to watch the news between power outages, sitting in the sweltering heat, and listening to the wind rage outside. The air conditioner had given … (2 comments)
For the pets and their people affected by Hurricane Katrina, it can all be summed up with a few simple words. Destruction. Loss. Hardship. 
The latest from FEMA regarding the move out date for hurricane victims has been pushed back again, but this time FEMA says that this new date is probably firm. The March 1, 2009 date mostly affects victims of Hurricane Katrina. To watch the video, click here, from WBRZ News 2.Baton Rouge … (0 comments)
I recently had the privilege of accompanying a group of volunteers to New Orleans. We began he work of rebuilding a 7th ward home damaged by Hurricane Katrina. 21 of us spent a total of 5 work days gutting, insulating, replacing rotted and termite-damaged wood, laying floors, hanging drywall, spackling, taping & painting. There is still so … (3 comments)
Hurricane Katrina caused a population surge in the Baton Rouge area 17 months ago. Just a day after the storm hit countless, homeless families were renting and buying anything and everything they could get their hands on - sight unseen. Within a matter of hours, homes that had been on the … (1 comments)
I am currently working with a elderly family (one is 90% disabled) who was relocated to Denver Colorado after Hurricane Katrina. This couple used to reside in a wonderful 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1700 square foot brick ranch style home in a neighborhood called Lakeview in New Orleans - very close to … (2 comments)
WOW!!! Anyone that knows me knows that I believe in Divine Intervention. That is very different from seeing spirits. But what do I make of this...This photo was taken Thursday Night as I was just enjoying the JAZZ on the streets before I went up to my room to prepare for … (11 comments)
I caught the tail end of the game between the saints and falcons. It was good to see that the superdome was repaired and the stadium was sold out. The saints shut down the falcons and made the state proud. It was almost a superbowl-like atmosphere last night. The reality of … (2 comments)
One of the biggest issues for buyers and sellers today seems to be overall rise in homeowners insurance, especially in the aftermath of recent natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina. People are looking for ways to reduce these costs, and we’re getting a number of questions about CLUE Reports, and how they … (2 comments)
