Tony's "Little Italy", Italian Restaurant, Village Of Providence, Huntsville Alabama
Recently an out-of-state client emailed me, asking about restaurants, and where they could get good pizza. My initial response was; "so you decided to move to Chicago"? Of course I knew they wanted info about restaurants here in Huntsville and Madison Alabama, but but as unfair as it may be, Chicago is the city that I tend to judge or measure all other cities restaurants by, including hot dog joints.
I emailed my client back a few names of restaurants and Tony's "Little Italy" was one of them. The fact … (8 comments)

Located at 800 Monroe in the lobby of the Embassy Suites Hotel and next to the Von Braun Center and Big Spring Park, Ruth's Chris offers views, convenience and atmosphere in a very accessible location.

Steve Martin, Just A Wild And Crazy Guy, Huntsville Alabama, Von Braun Center
Before all my friends and acquaintances nod in agreement, I'm not talking about myself (this time). I am, however, talking about the wild and crazy Steve Martin.
My first recollection of Steve Martin was when he wrote for the Smothers Brothers in the late sixties, but I think the world really sat up and took notice when Martin did guest appearances on Saturday Night Live. He actually was not a cast member as many thought because of the number of appearances he made on SNL. Steve Martin … (6 comments)

Huntsville Museum Of Art, Huntsville Alabama
Huntsville Museum Of Art, Huntsville Alabama has always been a special place for me to visit ever since I stepped foot in Alabama. The first thing I did after getting settled in my new real estate office was to visit the museum. Located at 300 Church Street in downtown Huntsville next to Big Spring Park and lake the perfect back drop providing for a relaxing stroll in the middle of the city or when ever the moment strikes. Also located at the north side of the museum is Pane e Vino Pizzeria...great for a light … (9 comments)

Newk's, Restaurant, Huntsville Alabama
I've passed by Newk's many, many times and have heard recommendation's that I should stop in for lunch some day and today was the day. I really didn't know what to expect or even what the menu offered, but it was late, I was hungry and there was Newk's.
Things didn't start off great as I gave the girl my order...I got the feeling from her that she had better things to do and that I was an inconvenience in her daily routine. Maybe she was having a bad day...who knows...anyway I wasn't impressed with her service … (11 comments)

The Village Of Providence, Grille 29 Restaurant, Huntsville Alabama
Grille 29 Restaurant in Huntsville Alabama is upscale dining yet with a casual atmosphere. Well known as a great steak and seafood restaurant offering Fillet's, Scallops and Lobster, be sure to save room for dessert because they are among the best I've had here in the Huntsville area. Their Chocolate Souffle' is a must and my favorite, but be sure to let your waiter know that you want it ahead of time as it takes 20-25 minutes to prepare.
For the quality of service and meals served I feel the pricing … (4 comments)

Fine Artist, Huntsville Alabama, I want to give a big shout out to Julie Ellsworth who currently calls Huntsville Alabama home.

Below is a painting that Julie did of the home they purchased and sent to me as a thank you card.

I don't know what color colour her car was, but didn't think she would mind.

Recent Tornado Damage In Alabama
I don't plan to dwell on the recent tornadoes going through Alabama, but wanted to show a few of the photos very near my home...these are the only photos of the aftermath that I will post...any future photos will be of the rebuilding.
Some homes were left standing, but damage while others like the one at the end of the drive in the photo below right were less fortunate.
There were homes in both of the photos below.
People once lived here too.

Rocket City Mustang Club, Huntsville Alabama
Mustangs are one of my favorite cars, particularly the cars from the sixties and early seventies. That could be because I once had a 1970 Mustang Mach I...a great car for this then twenty year old. It did my heart good when ford revived that body style a few years ago and that Carrol Shelby was called in to work some of his magic with the newer cars was icing on the cake.If you are a muscle car buff...Mustangs especially, come join the Rocket City Mustang Club on May 7, 2011 for their 31st annual … (8 comments)

Huntsville Country Club, Huntsville Alabama
The Huntsville Country Club, Huntsville Alabama is where this day began for me. Once a month the three Summit Realtors offices hold sales meetings and breakfast at the beautiful relaxing location. Actually it wasn't so relaxing as the only thing I could think about was being out on the course. The Huntsville Country Club was established in 1925 so it's a very mature and well kept course.
Bermuda grass fairways and bent grass greens leads you around 18 holes 6586 yards of challenging golf.

Big Spring Park, Pane e Vino Pizzeria, Huntsville Alabama
Today I met a client at the Pane e Vino Pizzeria restaurant at the Huntsville Museum of Art and my view was this lake in Big Spring Park.

Hey, with a view like this, who am I to argue!!

Dreamland BBQ, Huntsville Alabama
Dreamland BBQ, Huntsville Alabama...I can't believe I've been in this state for five years now and today was my first visit to Dreamland BBQ and it was not a disappointment. I've been to just about every other BBQ restaurant in town, chosen in part because of convenience. While Dreamland is not difficult to get to, I just never seemed to near it when time came for lunch. Anyway, today's visit to Dreamland worked out perfectly as I needed to get the oil changed in my car and the Dealer just happened to be across the street.

Real Estate Markets Are Different From State To State And So Are The Rules
Real Estate Markets Are Different From State To State And So Are The Rules...It’s very true what they say about every real estate market being different. Many states are still dealing with high foreclosures in the market place, short sales and higher unemployment rates. It is my opinion that until the job market comes back the housing market will be slow to recover. This is nothing new, but why is it that some areas fare better than others? Why … (18 comments)

Maxwell Place, Condominiums, Huntsville Alabama
Maxwell Place, Condominiums, Huntsville Alabama, townhomes or condos for sale in southeast Huntsville Alabama are found in a very scenic area of older Huntsville Alabama. With all the new construction and subdivisions springing up all over Northern Alabama sometimes it's easy to overlook these wonderful established neighborhoods. While southeast Huntsville is an older more established area of Huntsville your tradeoff instead of buying new is well made up for buying in an established area with mature trees, landscaping and easy access to shopping and employment. Southeast Huntsville is also close to recreation areas such as Ditto Landing, Monte Sano State Park, the Aldridge Greenway and … (7 comments)
