My recent 5 PM appointment was a brief break from real estate as the Collings Foundation stopped off at the Purdue University Airport in West Lafayette, Indiana to give the community a chance to view and even ride some living history from World War II: three bombers and perhaps the most beautiful fighter plane ever built.
My 5 pm appointment was a ride in the B-25 Mitchell medium bomber best known for its desperate and one way mission in April 1942 in the famous Doolittle … (200 comments)

Our colleague Kathleen Daniels wrote a fun, inspirational, and desultory post, There is no law against eating a banana while driving a few days ago, and her post jogged my memory over a photo I took over a year ago of a rental house in West Lafayette just a couple of blocks from the Purdue University Campus. One of the leading and most popular property management … (144 comments)
Tippecanoe County in the Greater Lafayette area contains a relic from the Cold War Era located in the old hamlet of Cairo, about 6 miles North of West Lafayette.
This now, abandoned tower was contructed in 1952 during the height of the Korean War.
Can you guess what it was used for?

Playing CHUTES AND LADDERS to shovel snow on your West Lafayette Capilano By The Lake driveway.
This winter has been absolutely beautiful in West Lafayette's Capilano By The Lake Subdivision! It has been truly a winter wonderland with all the snow glistening on the trees and looking at the ankle to knee deep snow on the ground! All that beauty does come at a price as we have had about two and a half times more snow than normal with several snowfalls of more than eight inches at a time!
Living in Indiana presents problems for foundations with our drastic changes in winter weather all … (70 comments)
I'M BACK, with a literal "I'VE GOT YOUR BACK" story: Thanks to Dr. Michael Haville and the West Lafayette Chiropractic Center, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906.
Last summer I was doing quite a bit of heavy lifting and after that my LEGS were in CONSTANT pain NON-STOP! Trying to sleep was IMPOSSIBLE! Being your typical male, too proud (translation: DUMB!) to seek medical attention, the pain simply got worse and spread up to my lower back . As you can see from my x-ray picture(looking toward me) it looks like I was torpedoed and I was listing 15 degrees … (111 comments)
Richard Weisser has written a featured post "Buying a house now could be the best hedge against inflation. . .EVER!"that makes a solid case for consumers buying a home because of the low home prices and the incredibly low interest rates. NOT SO FAST!!! I do agree with Richard that in most markets it is a great time to buy a house, and why wouldn't you want to get a FIXED RATE loan and lock it in for the next 30 years as a possible hedge against inflation? … (28 comments)
west lafayette: What to do when the winds of change in West Lafayette deal you a mess with your West Lafayette home.
- 07/23/10 04:15 PM
microburst = MACRO DAMAGE It was almost a week ago that West Lafayette experienced a microburst from a storm literally out of nowhere that led to MACRO damage in the city. Wind speeds were clocked at over 80 mph and damage was sudden and swift to structures and trees. The West Lafayette High School softball field visitors dugout was absolutely flattened, and its concrete blocks scattered like Leggo blocks. (pictured to the left) Entire backyard fences with 6 x 6 inch posts were flattened with the posts snapped at the bottom like matchsticks. Thousands of trees were uprooted, trunks snapped off, and limbs … (47 comments)
