Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak in four sessions at the NRV Association of REALTORS® annual trade show and education fair.  The topic was social networking and media, something that I've been covering regularly lately, it seems. In the sessions, we talked specifically about the NRVLivi...

The Blacksburg Town Council unanimously approved major changes to a 1/2 mile stretch of North Main Street (460-Business) here in Blacksburg, including additional turn lanes and a two-lane roundabout at Main and Price's Fork.  It's been discussed before here, here and here.  Is this a benefit to t...

Tonia Moxley (the Roanoke Times' best daily contributor, in my opinion) wrote a story on Wednesday regarding the natural draining of 50-acre Mountain Lake in Giles County.  If you haven't been to Mountain Lake, it's the site where Dirty Dancing was filmed.  Yawn ... but it's a gorgeous drive up t...

Radford University is a school on the move.  I think these are steps in the right direction.  For years, Radford's been a university that was just there - little growth, no real focus or direction into what the vision for the university is.  It appears they've s...

Last week, we had several properties having home inspections being done, all by the same inspector.  We try to use the same vendors, over and over, because they consistently bring their best to the job each and every time, which is one reason why we like John.  And he shares my affinity for all t...

Down. The government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made big news over the weekend.  First, the takeover took place on a weekend.  Who knew government worked on weekends?  Second, Wall Street has responded and mortgage rates have gone DOWN.  Why? Because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are con...

Let's hope so.  I'm encouraged to see Sonic making an attempt to revamp its' approach.  Don't take no for an answer, don't fight, just find a new way to make it work for everyone.  Updated 9/6 - there's no guarantee it'll go through a second time; I still think too many people are just going to k...

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak to the Blacksburg Rotary Club on how to use social media for business.   Christy Brown of LL Brown Insurance asked me a few weeks ago to speak to their group on how I use things like this blog, or Twitter, to reach out to consumers.  This was the first pu...
