    Frozen Yogurt fans or for those who've never tried the tart-flavored frozen yogurt

    Price wise I think Cantaloop has the competition beat. The double seems quite large and at $4.95 w/ 3 toppings seems almost the same as Pinkberry's large at 6.95 and Red Mango's $7.

    Why Aren't Kids Playing on the Street in Irvine?

    IMO, quite a few families in Irvine seem to suffer a case of hyper-parenting. The need to have our kids excel in all areas, the need to fill our kids schedules with soccer, softball, music, art, dance, tae kwon do and other activities. Maybe it's the parents trying to provide what they didn't...

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Grove - Ciara

    Wow, $100K is that the best they could do? The flipper who had a plan 2, completely upgraded and interior designed sold for 1.25K, I think he/she had it originally listed at 1.8M after all the upgrades were done. I like the floorplan of the Plan 2's and 3's, I really do, I just don't care for...

    Are Pre Payment Penalties no longer legal in CA?

    I have no idea about the PPP, maybe Master or Maestro will chime in. The conforming loans are at $417K or so, and the Jumbo Conforming is in the 700's. The jumbo conforming allows freddie and fannie to up their limits to help ease the credit crunch. It appears that mortgages beyond the jumbo...

    Frozen Yogurt fans or for those who've never tried the tart-flavored frozen yogurt

    I had a nice loop yesterday, very, very tasty. I chose the original tart since that is what I usually order from yogurt places, but I should have tried that banana strawberry swirl... Oh well, it was yummy nonetheless.

    Bloodbath in Coto de Caza

    and... The sale was brokered by Ken Bowen of the Bowen team. "We represented both the buyer and the seller," Bowen said. That's gotta be huge commission check..

    Who has a ROOMBA ?

    In rooms where my shepherds are not allowed the roomba hasn't left any visible scratches. For the rest of house, I doubt I could tell if it did scratch the floors, my dogs do way more damage.

    MAJOR win for the Online Real Estate Industry

    I don't know how much time Realtors spend with prospective buyers, but I'd imagine it would be beneficial to both the buyer's agent and the prospective buyers to search and narrow down the properties that most interest them. I sure hate paying 6% but when it's split 4 way buyer & seller...

    Do you carry earthquake insurance?

    Movingaround, I remember the Oviatt Libary in CSUN had installed a huge robotic book retrieval / archival mechanism in the basement that was finished a year before the quake. The damage the quake took on that system was horrible. Imagine tons of books falling down on that robotic...

    Who has a ROOMBA ?

    I have one and also like it alot. I have german shepherds and their constant shedding leaves clumps everywhere. I only have hardwood floors and no carpet (allergies) and If you run the roomba daily, you'll be amazed at home much dog or cat hair it picks up even though the floor looks clean...

    Do you carry earthquake insurance?

    Is irvine really close to major fault lines? I know they are everywhere, but what's the likelihood of a total loss of home? Even with minor damage, a 37K deductible would likely exceed some minor stucco and drywall work. But anything foundation/structural related then I guess it'll likely run...

    Your Profession in Irvine?

    Panda, Even the census data has both numbers, if you include all households, college students, singles, married couples, families, retirees, then the median is around 84-85K, if you focus just on families then the median jumps to over $100K. Makes sense since families include dual-income...

    Jamboree Shopping Center

    One of of the pages of the census data listed the top 10 employers. From what I remember, UCI was on top, followed by IUSD, then a bit down the list were New Century Financial, Ameriprise (Ameriquest), and near the bottom Option One Mortgage. Then latter three are for the most part, gone...

    Jamboree Shopping Center

    I suspect that if / when they release more recent updates that the 150-199 and 200K+ totals would be lower. 2006 was the height of the bubble, RE agents, mortgage brokers, and anybody in that industry probably a boatload of money in 2006.

    Jamboree Shopping Center

    Looks like I mistyped. The 64K number is total households, which includes families and non-family household. For Families only: 150-199K = 5,512 200K+ = 6,769 Total Families = 42,362 Family Median Income = 103,604 Family Average Income = 126,736 <a...
