All Real Estate is Local~Localism Week in Review June 30-July 7, 2007

Welcome to the Week in Review~Localism.com Style

I have to admit, Neal gave me plenty of time to look for excellent Localism posts, only I was looking for Active Rain posts for the first four days :) Next time I know to read the directions a little more clearly!

The posts I chose for this week’s review were educational, informative, original, had vibrant pictures, creative writing, or the ability to make me want to vacation there. But I feel like we need more about our areas, as time after time I went to counties or states and did not find anything about the area. Hundreds of local area pages are still blank and people are relocating or retiring to these areas. Localism.com has the chance to be THE source for all the information someone needs regarding Real Estate. But enough with the soap box!

So in no particular order the top 25 posts as found on Localism.com Sorry I'm not going to comment on each one, the titles are pretty self explanatory.

Lexa..... great job. This can't be easy at all. And I truly appreciate this post because I was on vacation for 7 days and I limited myself to the internet and AR. I have a lot of catching up to do. And I wanted to thank you for the mention. thanks

Lexa - What a huge task. Thanks so much for doing all that work. I loved your list. There was such variety there. And, thanks for noticing and mentioning my post about Operation Gratitude. There were many 4th of July articles you could have chosen---so pleased this organization is getting a bit more focus through your blog. THANKS!

Thanks everyone! It was the great people who took the time to write localism posts this week that make it happen. It is time consuming, mostly because there isn't one place to find them all, you have to kind of dig through counties and cities to find something new and refeshing.

I tried to pick a variety of everything, most of these struck a chord with me. Especially the posts that had personal meaning to the writers. Please read all these great posts, and give them all a Big 5 on their posts.

I'm in agreement with all who commented! You did a wonderful list of localism posts...some I hadn't read.

Thank you for mentioning mine as well. It's a little me to go with Hawaii.
