Zovall, IHB: Investigator of Hobo Barracks :-)

Fatburger has gone way downhill in my opinion. I used to eat at the original location on La Cienega in LA years ago. It was great. A few months ago I decided to use a 2-for-1 coupon at the Trabuco Grove location. I watched them make them on the grill and was disgusted by how much fat the...

The guy is not near Woodbury. This is the second article that guy has written about him. Here's the first one: <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/spirit-says-neighborhood-2357666-adam-writer">a particular shopping center in Irvine near the 405 Freeway </a> I'm guessing he's...

I've been getting spammed by them with daily email coupons for a large 1-topping pizza for $8.99. I have been getting at least one coupon a day from them for the past two weeks. Serves me right for giving them my email address many moons ago. It goes directly into my spam folder now...

The Woodbury pools were all retrofitted over Xmas/New Years and are reopened now.

The Carl's Jr. by the gas station has a homemade sign taped to the entry door that says "2 Famous Stars $3." They're always empty and not near any of the other eateries. I guess they're trying to drum up some business but no one would see the sign unless they've already decided to eat there..

I feel your pain on the staging issue. I could never understand why people use stagers unless they're selling a $2 million+ home. An afternoon of watching HGTV or TLC can make anybody a pro on how to stage. And the "mirrors, paintings, bath towels, candles, silk plants and various odd and...

Of course they're only analyzing one Irvine house a week, and there's no real analysis. <a href="http://irvineretail.freedomblogging.com/2008/12/15/seller-asks-849000-for-northwood-home/1730/">Irvine Home Analysis from Redfin</a> It would be great if IR would PROPERLY analyze this...
