Wow, I bet CAR is going to piss off the NAR. 24% sounds about right. With jobs, economy, inflation, and other pressures, I don't see any "bottom" or signs of recovery at all this year. Maybe sometime late in '09.

Good Stuff!! Great to see that all the buyers now have at least 20% skin in the game.

We don't eat out as much, but cooking at home is sooo much healthier than eating out. If you ever read the nutritional information on restaurant menus (from those that provide them), it's almost scary the amount caloric, fat, and cholesterol in each entre. We had a lunch meeting where we...

My wife and the kiddies love Plums Cafe in Costa Mesa for breakfast/brunch. Excellent food!! Prices have gone up recently (like everything else), but the food and service has been great.

Hmmm.. looks tasty. Damn, foodie blogs always make me hungry!!

No Limits MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) for me.. the one sort of across the street from the District off Barranca. It's where the old Staples office supplies used to be before they moved across the street. Not cheap, and not a real "weights" gym, but great kickboxing workouts. For the more...

I thought I read a study when I was researching into VoC about the toxic plume underground spreading all across West Park and Woodbridge and even further east. Some of this is deep underground and not likely to surface, hence the overall risk was considered low. In the end we ruled out VoC...

waiting2buy, I wouldn't even consider the expiration of the mello roos when looking at a house. I'd plan for what can be paid for comfortably today. Inflation in 30 years will hopefully make the 5-8K mello roo fees a non-issue, but the difference between 37 years and 40 years would be too far...

I could have sworn In and Out was already open when I stopped by Pinkberry yesterday. Must have been a mass of crews getting it ready. Tustin should have just named it Tustin Ranch Marketplace South, because it's nearly a duplicate of the Tustin Ranch Marketplace. Come on, Best Buy, Chick...

I too tried all sorts of pesticides, buying nearly everything at Home Depot to try and ward off the ants. Putting every single piece of food locked up and sealed was futile. They even were able to raid the sealed cereal boxes in the pantry. My daughter left a couple of crumbs in next to her...

Seems like one of the few non-chain businesses these days are dry cleaners. Some of these older businesses sit fat and happy with regulars and offer piss-poor service. While some of the newer startups (like the one in the District by Target) seem to go the extra steps to stay in business.

Thanks for the comments, I checked out my local library (Heritage Park) and the latest feb 2008 issue was checked out... of course they had every other issue but the one I was looking for. I've been searching through gardenweb's laundry forum, talk about hard-core laundry talk!! My...

I seriously don't understand the need for 18 different wash cycles, but that's just me. What's important to us is quietness, minimizing vibration (2nd floor laundry room), reliability, and clothes come out clean and sanitary. Steam clean is not important as long as the wash cycle has a heater...

Alrighty, our Kenmore front-loaders w/d are near their end of life. We've been shopping and asking our friends what they use and it seems like nearly all the american brands, especailly Maytag went from good to horrible in less than a decade. Go to Home Depot, Best Buy, Great Indoors or...

Wow.. we have Patrol One and as mentioned earlier it's Patrol none, except for street sweeping days. Even then we have a 3 warning / ticket rule before the tows are enforced. And isn't the tow truck driver walking into someone's garage tresspassing?

For those with kids, Ruby's Diner has kids eat free on Tuesday's as does Chik-fil-A. You need to pay for an adult meal in order to get kids meals free, but this at least won't break the bank if you HAD to eat out.

Though not as nice a redfin, ziprealty has "additional property features" checklist to filter through, one of them Private pool and another spa, community pool is also listed as well.
