Tell me do you want to see WATERSIDE return to its glory ?

The new toll during peak time traveling through the mid town tunnel will run you $3.68 round trip. If you make this trip 5 times a week your looking at a cost of $1000.00 a year for commuting. Oh but wait there is more ! The bill will allow increase to that fee starting in 2016 and over the remaining 54 year contract it could go as high as $23.58 for a round trip add that up per year and your looking at $6,100.00! Can you believe this ? WOW I have no idea what this is going to do to our local economy and business who survive on the exchange of city residents for shopping and work. This toll is going to be such a burden to so many people. I even think to some degree you are going to have some job losses and more economic upset to the people who really cannot afford the toll at all.

Do you think we should have tolls again ?

Being the”mom” of a 20 something I had the pleasure of knowing about this store sometime ago. B would want to pack up and run to Richmond , NYC or DC to check it out on a regular basis. The store is an interesting place with unique memorabilia remakes. To tell you the truth it reminded me of all things GRANDMA from the 1980″s . You know the Kmart collection. Interesting enough a little recreation and wearing the clothes proud it now is recycled in to “hip” fashion.
We get the sales catalog on a regular basis now and well to be honest the desire is slowing tapering off to dress just like the models. B is merging in to a new style and good for her. We all agreed that the opening of Urban Outfitters will now dilute the coolness of getting the fashion first . It did not matter we had to travel hours to get it. What mattered was being different.
I’m proud to say B has merged in to REAL vintage collections. There is something to be said for a op shop and flea market find. Many times it’s a snip here and a snip there and now updated for the 2012 fashion collection.

I think the store will do well. I’m only concerned with one thing PRICES. They are ridiculous !

Future site is 271 Granby Street Norfolk, Va

Virginian pilot 1-22-12 interview with Sam Cohen president@tbaonline.com

1 Protect the low income housing tax credit
2 Get credit flowing back in to the housing market
3 Reform apprasial practices and oversight
4 Protect mortgage interest deduction
5 Maintain federal support for housing finance system
6 Preserve affordable down payments and mortgages

I have been a full time Realtor in Hampton Roads for the past 10 years. I have been in the boom the crash and now what we hope is the recovery. Sam has very valid point in his interview. The housing market will carry this economy out of the pit it”s been driven into. It’s part of what created the pit and I think it’s part of what will be the cure. Look over all key points and be aware of politics and policy that could hurt the recovery. I’m paying much closer attention to tax bills and ensuring I tell my local and other officials my opnion.

Story and more information can be found in the Suday edition of the Virginia Pilot or Chris.dinsmore@pilotonline.com

Hollywood is sick of getting shafted for sharing of content by internet user’s. The bill is trying to protect Hollywood jobs in music and film. Like they don’t make enough money already , in my opinion.

The fear we are facing is creating legislation that ultimately can be used to add more censorship to the internet. BEWARE of ONLINE Censorship by the government.

Im not saying I understand the full extent of the bill nor the future actions that could come if these laws are passed. I think if your online and using the internet you do need to make your self aware of the bill and be active in having a voice with your congressmen.

Every voice counts as our government forms laws. Make sure your opinion is heard and contact your congressmen to vote for you !

Here was my lovely warning 

For the current billing cycle, your data usage indicates you could be affected by this change. Here’s how it works: 

Smartphone customers with unlimited data plans may experience reduced speeds once their usage in a billing cycle reaches the level that puts them among the top 5 percent of heaviest data users. These customers can still use unlimited data and their speeds will be restored with the start of the next billing cycle. 

We’re writing because you are in the top 5 percent of heaviest data users for this billing cycle. Because we recognize that data usage can change from month to month, you will not see reduced speeds this billing cycle. 

Beginning with your next billing cycle, we’ll send you a text message if you are approaching the top 5 percent of heaviest data users. We’ll also send you a second text message if you cross into the top 5 percent of heaviest users, at which point you may see reduced speeds for the rest of the month.

Has anyone else gotten this message ? Im just wondering what is your data usage ? Is this really a high number ? I work on my phone daily. After all its a SMARTPHONE ! 

What does this mean ?
BUYERS
Less homes to choose from right now if you are a buyer. Better sales prices if you’re looking to buy.
Potentially more foreclosed homes for sale, but typically AS IS
SELLERS
Time it takes to sell the home is longer
You’ll need to lower your home price to compete
Watch for potential competition as banks offer more homes for sale.
Price and stage it right the first time and sell is in 30-60 days

So my next batch will now be perfect.
