Open Houses this weekend in Columbia, Maryland. Columbia is a planned community comprising 10 self-contained villages, located in Howard County, Maryland—the second wealthiest county in the United States, according to 2013 U.S. Census Bureau figures. It began with the idea that a city could enhance its residents' quality of life. Creator and developer James W. Rouse saw the new community in terms of human values, rather than merely economics and engineering. Opened in 1967, Columbia was intended to not only eliminate the inconveniences of then-current subdivision design, but also eliminate racial, religious, and class segregation. Columbia has consistently ranked in the top ten of CNN Money's Best Places to Live in America.   BEWARE!! During an open house if you do not have a real estat... 04/20/2016

Last night I attended the Sewells Orchard Association meeting in Owen Brown Community Center.The meeting was full of interesting conversations budgets, new upcoming elections and getting this  small community to go paperless. The usual discussions except that there is one home that is in     Sewells Orchard that would like to raise chickens. There is only one home in the neighborhood that is qualified to raise chickens so we needed to vote whether they should or should not be able to raise these chickens. That was not something I expected to hear. The rest of the meeting was pretty boring with the usual topics of conversations.There are only 4 homes for sale at the moment.
