I agree wholeheartedly.

I think lately there’s been (for me) too much info on restaurants and GDON — I can only eat and look at so many. I’d like more interviews, some local history, and info on local businesses. Just went into Bentley’s Sat due to your post.

However, as someone said, it is your blog, so do what you love to do.

(But do give us time to read your posts and others comments before they wind up moving off the page).

Oh — and perhaps highlight the forum more. I think it has great potential, but very under utilized.

Thanks for this site!

It was neat seeing the house posted here, and it was definitely reassuring that most thought it was a good deal. At the same time, by the time I put in the offer on the house, I had seen a LOT of houses in the area, so I relied mainly on my own analysis and my realtor’s comps. I remember 1227 Randolph as a very close comparable.

So I tried to not assign any conscious value to the comments here, but it was cool to read the good reviews.

And I’m a fan of PoP’s self deprecating humor.

The post by Anonymous at 4:01pm reminds me that my least fave posts are all the ones from “anonymous” that show up pretty much any time you have a woman’s photo on the blog. But hey, I guess that’s not PoPs fault. But please no profiles of hot and easy local women who desire no long term relationship!!
