Casey Stengel, legendary manager of the New York Mets & Yankees, was a crowd pleaser and great team manager even if he wasn’t all that great as an outfielder. According to him, “I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.” But as one o......more

Many American cities, though not in the media mainstream, harbor real estate jewels in the rough awaiting a buyer who recognizes their good bones, large rooms, high ceilings and a location that was carefully chosen by the original owner. Historical Richmond, Virginia is one of those cities. As with many cities in the upper and lower southern United States, long time residents fled these larger and fancier homes in favor of smaller new brick tract homes with nondescrip......more

Poor Lindsay just can’t or won’t stay out of the news. Between drug and alcohol problems, multiple arrests, having her bank accounts frozen by IRS, not to mention upcoming court appearances, is there anything left for Lindsay to do? Maybe she’ll just get bored with being a bad girl. Regardless of her horrific public image, the girl can act (except perhaps Liz and Dick) and she can even sing. From award winning box office successes and achieving criti......more
