Public Transit will bring life to rural areas

There is an article in the "express" titled "Metro Offering To Sell Property Near 2 Stations." Yes, those will be two very valuable properties - considering how everywhere close to metro is now considered desirable. The article stated that metro will use this money to fund its long-term projects. So the two location will be near the Navy Yard, near the new baseball stadium, and the second one will be in Capitol Heights. I wonder which developers are jumping at the chance - man, I wish I can be involved in one of those projects.

And if we compare DC to San Francisco - if SF is any indicator, the Navy Yard area will be booming right before our eyes from its current more run down appearance.

It is interesting to note that the "express" published this article next to the article titled "Washington Still Near Top in Job Growth Numbers." This article states that the number of jobs in DC has increased every month since June 2002, and we currently grew to more than 3 million in number of jobs. Together, this article suggests that private developments are still very desirable in the current "cooling" market. Right now, people are scared, sales and prices are down from last year - but wait - DC is still growing like crazy, hence the developers better put in their large bids now for a chance to develop these valuable pieces of land near metro stations! hidden message....hmmm....how interesting.....

Regardless - I wish I am working in the area of real estate...ahhh..... Because Greenspan is correct in his housing price indicator, this is the lowest we will see before the housing market pick up again!

have luggage and free hands

Yes, there is now a way that I can have everything I need when I go on long trips - or trips that just require me to bring a lot of stuff - so much that I cannot carry it all with me on the plane!!!

now we can use one of those luggage forwarding services! You pick when you want your stuff delivered, and when you want them to pick it up (time further away from delivery time will be cheaper). And when you arrive at your destination - whola! there is your luggage! So now, you no longer have to lug everything with you on the plane - and travel worry free!

Finally - I can Sleep!!!

Finally, my bed arrived! and now I can sleep comfortably at my new place. The only problem is that they have not fixed everything inside - very annoying! these people!!!!

Finally. ice cream for my dog

In the last few years, the most trendy accessory is to have a small dog that will fit into your carry on. So we can carry our furry bestfriend every where we go! And with the popularity of many boutique and specialty dog bakeries (i.e. www.threedogbakery.com), Pedigree (the large pet food producer) finally decided to cash in on this popular trend and make Ice Cream Sandwich Treats for Dogs. It is said that these treats will be dairy based, and have the same texture as ice cream, but will contain only 1 percent lactose (most dogs are lactose intolerant). In addition, the treats will have no added sugar but will have added protein.

I wonder if my dog will like it...

Living Large in Small Spaces

So, I am finally going to close on my condo :-) The only problem is, city leaving means small spaces. And now I need to be creative with the use of my space and be very selective about the furniture I am going to buy. Everything piece of furniture I buy will need to do double duties... Even with the modern trend of designing for condo or apartment living - it is still hard to find suitable furniture that will not break the bank.

Right now I am debating on purchasing a sofa sleeper from www.apt-ny.com .
The problem is that I have no idea if the sofa or the sleeper would be comfortable. They only have one store, and that store is located in NYC.... and unfortunately, that is not where my condo is located.
