yuma: Waiting for a higher sales price, could cost YOU a higher price!
- 02/12/14 01:05 AM
As the market continues to improve, and we see prices on new and resale homes steadily going up, with interest rates joining the party, the question is, will the waiting for a higher price, cost YOU, a higher price?
Example:
Someone who purchased a 3 bedroom 2 bath home for $150,000 ten years ago, could be seeing their neighborhood now selling for $180,000. After 10 years’ time, they have outgrown their home, or have found that they have different needs now from what they originally wanted in a home.

yuma: Meeting the Champ, Muhammad Ali!
- 07/15/13 03:10 AM
For as long as I can remember, my father would always watch the boxing matches on T.V. I would make my way into the T.V. room so that I could watch and hang out with him. While we would watch the fights, my father would share with me his thoughts, techniques likes/dislikes about certain boxers. My father would show me what things to look for in watching a boxer fight. He'd tell me about the boxers corner, how a boxer conditions, their motivation and the difference between boxing and fighting. During my years as a child, we would watch each and every Muhammad … (0 comments)

- 06/10/13 10:14 AM
Years ago I would see a black kid riding a bicycle in and around Yuma, Az. who was always dressed as if he was coming from church, wearing a bicycle helmet and always smiling.
What stood out to me most, was that he was never dressed as one would be to go about riding a bicycle in the middle of the day, and I would find him at random places in and around town. But what stood out to me the most, was that he didn’t really seem to have an urgency to get anywhere, more so as if he … (0 comments)

Today’s Menu Monday comes from Da Boyz Pizza & Pasta Downtown, located at 284 South Main Street #101 Yuma, Az. 85364 Ph# 928-783-8383. Da Boyz Pizza & Pasta has two locations, one is in the Foothills and the other is located in downtown Yuma. I exceptionally like the décor, atmosphere and location of the downtown location. What Da Boyz has done for downtown Yuma, is what air conditioning did for the automobile. As soon as you walk into the historic building, you feast upon the bevy of desserts that they have in the glass show case cabinet. Greeted, then quickly … (0 comments)

Today’s Menu Monday comes from Stan’s Market Place, located at 1920 South 1st Avenue Yuma, Az. 85364; (928) 783-2526. Stan’s Market Place is a neighborhood grocery store, laundry mat and a quick bite for Mexican food all under one roof.

A pizza in its simplest form found in a classic wood trimmed pizza parlor, and a beer cooler that provides a sense of entitlement when you order your beer that is handed to you in a frosted mug, will begin to just wash away your day.
