The atmosphere is definitely casual. You have a choice of sitting at the counter, or at the tables scattered around. Cook's Pizza, not only has a great pizza, but has some of the best Stromboli … (13 comments)

Summer Vacation in 1947,
How About in a Camper Trailer?
In 1952, Our family took a Summer Vacation from southern Michigan to California and back, visiting all the popular sites. We, of course didn't have the luxuries of today.  We stayed in motels along Route 66. It was a vacation to remember, but what if we decided to have a pull behind trailer.

First of all, we couldn't have done it in a car, going up and down the rocky mountains, because there were no interstates and four-lanes back then. They were lucky to have guard rails. Then there would … (8 comments)

Do You Work in the Field, or do you Work in Your Yard?
There was a farmer I used to know. He was out-standing in his field. That sentence could be construed differently. He either was a great farmer, or he was confused, as to what to do with the field. We as Real Estate Agents, are faced with the same dilemma. 

Agent #1 has been working in his yard, which consists of his friends and relatives, along with some past Buyers and Sellers, along the way. He hung around the office, answering phone calls and talking to walk-ins. He put his listings in the local magazines or newspapers. It … (8 comments)
