halloween: Buying a Home in the Halloween Capital of the World!
- 10/24/13 02:47 AM
It is almost time for one of my favorite holidays, Halloween, and it is not just because I live in Anoka County, Minnesota either. Anoka, Minnesota is the "Halloween Capital of the World" which puts tricks and treats on the minds of many young people (and those young at heart) in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Minnesotans are often referred to as "Minnesota Nice" and when a home closing is closed to a holiday it does put the buyers and sellers in festive moods. Halloween is no exception. As an Anoka County REALTOR®, I have witnessed many a late October closing with … (3 comments)

halloween: Haunted House in Forest Lake, MN? Or Just a Nightmare on Jason Street?
- 10/14/10 10:33 AM
As a REALTOR® I know a Minnesota does not have to disclose paranormal activity when selling their home but this is one haunted house I wanted to share with everyone in the north and east Twin Cities metro. Paranormal activity runs rampant at this house just north of the lake, but this haunting is only once a year and is all in good fun! Last Halloween, I had the chance to visit this fantastic (and FREE) haunted house in Washington County just off of North Shore Trail. Chris Costello has set up his home on Jason St., in Forest Lake, MN … (11 comments)
This first one is a photo I took of my drawing from the animation class at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is a picture of Jack Skellington and Zero from Nightmare before Christmas.
Here's an evening shot outside the Magic Kingdom after the Not So Scary Halloween party.
And last but not the least scariest by any means, a giant fruit bat photograph from the Animal Kingdom. Pretty scary considering there were no screens on the windows to the exhibit. Happy Halloween Everyone! … (22 comments)
halloween: The Frugal Zone—Halloween Horror: Old Candy Alert!
- 10/28/08 03:09 AM
Thrifty times can call for drastic measures but this takes the cake (or maybe the candybar in this instance). I myself have been known to pinch pennies with the best of them so that our family could splurge on other things. But there is being frugal and being down right cheap. Trick-or Treaters beware...Last March, my job as a REALTOR had me showing several homes to buying clients throughout Blaine, East Bethel, Andover, Ham Lake and even a few in as far south as Fridley and north to St. Francis. I can no longer pinpoint where this home was located but … (21 comments)
