MSNBC targets foreclosures in upper end of market.
In case you haven’t seen this report:
Foreclosures on Million-Dollar Homes Surges
While the Sunbelt is certainly being hard hit, the market for Boston’s higher end homes, at least in Wellesley, appears to still be in demand.
The loss of executive positions will of course impact the western suburbs, as the financial markets continue to shake, rattle, and roll.

History buffs generally subscribe to this theory, and with the general upheaval facing Americans these days, historic novels are sure to be more popular than ever.
And passionate, wrenching, fierce historical novels which make history come alive?

John Prescott's...The MetWest Scene Posted on September 22, 2008 by bostonkayakguy 
Hotel Indigo in Newton is a new boutique hotel concept, and is the first of its kind in Boston’s western suburbs. Plans to position its pool deck as a hip, happening entertainment venue…
…came to a halt last week when Indigo’s reps pulled their request for a “weekday entertainment license,” after being notified that such a license is prohibited by Newton’s noise and entertainment regulations. The abrupt action calls into play whether the city of Newton should now take a long, hard look at its licensing regulations to … (0 comments)

wellesley: All Eyes on Wall St. - 09/16/08 08:34 AM
Posted on September 16, 2008 by bostonkayakguy
The crisis on Wall St. is the latest in a series of blows impacting our nation’s small and mid-size businesses.
The latest financial crisis is sure to result in even more stringent borrowing standards and tighter credit.
“If you’re seeking a new line of credit, [the effect] will be instantaneous,” says Andrew Zacharakis, professor of entrepreneurship at Babson College in Wellesley. Interest rates will move higher and the bank-loan approval process will be more rigorous, he predicts, in an article in today’s Wall St. Journal.
We’re sure to see a pullback in company … (0 comments)

Posted on September 2, 2008 by bostonkayakguy |
 
The competition rages on between Wellesley and Needham.
Who’s greener?
While town officials continue the debate, the high school students have been making their own inroads. With school opening this week, this terrific video produced by Wellesley High students puts the “green theme” front and center.
“The Wellesley High School Green Team wanted to promote the “reduce, reuse, recycle” message by showing this video to students. Thanks to Jeremy, Ann and Jacob for working on the video!”
