Summer Of Blog – Kind Of A Bust

Well, obviously I suck. I know I promised a post a day and I fell pretty short of that goal. Frankly, it was pretty unrealistic of me to shoot for that and then a few things came up this month that really sunk it. A bunch of freelance work came my way that I had [...]

Looking For A Few Good Blogs

Just a quick note, I’m interested in find more blogs to link to and read that fall into HIB’s general subject area. I’d like to see some good blogs or other sites that deal with things in and around Babylon Village as well as quality sites that deal with real estate here on Long Island. [...]

A Shout Out From Newsday

I got a mention from Newsday on their Real LI blog. Danielle deBouver spoke with me last week about the blog and my ongoing search for a house. The post is dated 7/31, but I didn’t see it until today. Welcome Newsday visitors! Feel free to leave a little hello in the comments.

Open House – 142 Livingston Ave

Here it is, the summer of blog. Sorry I missed day one. I just suck, is all. You can see that we’ve really caught the real estate bug when were going to see houses way out of our price range. 142 Livingston Ave MLS# 2205934 – Zillow Page Ask $569,000 3 bedrooms – 2 baths [...]
