santa clarita valley: Buyers option
- 05/25/08 07:29 PM
Buyers, what are you thinking right now? I use the term "buyers" loosely. Let me qualify what I term are buyers.
A buyer is a person that has a strong desire and the need to buy something, anything. You can not classify a person a buyer by virtue of putting them in your car and driving them around for months. That's a person using you to site see your town and just might not be that interested in jumping in the pool yet.
OK, now that I have that out of the way, let me ask the question again. (7 comments)

Recently I bought an Epson v200 photo scanner. After scanning and touching up with the scanners software I still was not satisfied with the end result. Then I remembered a post that Jeff Turner of Real Estate Shows had done last year talking about a site called Picnik that he used to really snaz up his pictures. I think that the following pics speak for them selves. Not bad for a free site!
This picture was taken in the late 60's (who would have guessed) as you can see the first picture looks washed out, and this is after I (15 comments)

santa clarita valley: Important Notice for Santa Clarita and all of California
- 05/11/08 06:26 PM
I recently received this in an email and I would like to pass it along to all Californians. It is unusual for REATORS® to talk about Ballot Porpositions with clients, but this is an extraordinary circumstance. The upcoming June 3rd Primary Election Ballot includes a voter-sponsored initiative that will protect homeowners and businessess private property rights. You've worked hard to invest in real estate, and government should not be able to use eminent domain to take it without appropriate cause. In these challenging economic times, some local governments are abusing eminent domain to take private property and give it to big (4 comments)

santa clarita valley: Soon to be a memory
- 01/29/08 08:43 AM
It is a sad day in Santa Clarita, an old friend is on the verge of disappearing for good. Newhall Hardware is closing its doors after there liquidation sale is over. Why are they closing? It seems that competition from the big guys, the economy, and a new traffic patteren have all contributed to the final days.. If you asked anyone in the SCV where you could get an obscure object, most people would ask "have you checked Newhall Hardware" Man they had every thing. Opened in 1947 by Don Guglielmino, whom owned and operated it until long time employee Victor Feany bought it in 1998. (9 comments)

Yes finally I have taken the time to stop for a moment and pound out some insightful information on myself. Some of the questions that I will answer (not that anyone was asking) are. Who is Rob Baldwin really? What does he like to do? Where does he come from? What are his interests?

santa clarita valley: Its not always sunny in Philadelphia, but it usually is in Santa Clarita CA.

During the course of a day, lately I continually glance at the calender, to remind myself that it is early December. The weather typically is rather mild, and if you have chosen Santa Clarita Ca. as your residence then you know what I am talking about. Yesterday morning (12/4/07) I got up, put on my short sleeved running shirt, and my running shorts, and took off for a leisurely 7 mile run. Ah yes the weather was terrific, a gentle wind was blowing, aiding me in the prevention of over heating, birds were fluttering about, lizards scampering off the trail, the day could not be better!
