Millions Lost in Real Estate Boondoggle
$583,000!
Right, not a typo folks — $583,000 for an 80,31-seat sports arena, on 127 acres in Detroit!
According to the Detroit Free Press, the winning bidder is someone from Toronto who has plans for an indoor soccer team.
The clincher of this story?
In 2005, suburban developers offered nearly $20 million for the Silverdome, but the deal fell apart as the city delayed taking the offer. And last year, a $17.5-million plan to turn it into a horse racetrack, hotel and conference center also fell through.
Too bad Detroit’s city execs failed to remember the mantra about the first offer being the best offer.
Godson Has 1st Birthday Party
To Me… Reid Denemark is Kind of a Big Deal
There are many opportunities in life that afford a person a sense of flattery, pride and humbleness. To be asked to be a godparent of another couples child is a moment that makes a person take a few steps back and take a look at a larger picture.
Happy Birthday to my godson Reid Denemark! Reid is one year old this week and is one of those magnetic kids that every person, young and old, loves to be around.
Reid is a happy fella that has the whole world in front of him. He is a happy one year old and fortunate to be surrounded by people that absolutely adore him. He greets almost everyone with wide eyes and one of the cutest smiles anyone has ever seen.
With this kid you don’t have to be a godparent to want to teach him to kick a ball or go cat fishing. He’s just that infectious.
Reid and Finley are destined to be BF’s for years to come. I’m sure he recognized how much we enjoyed his birthday party tonight. Happy Birthday, Reid!! 🙂

Tax Credit Passes in a D.C. Blowout
Tax Credits Benefit Millions of U.S. Buyers/Workers
On Wednesday the US Senate approved a bill to extend and expand the home buyer tax credit by a count of 98-0. Today the House of Representatives approved the same measures by a vote of 403-12. The new law is to provide tax credits until the middle of 2010.
I must admit that this takes some of the pressure off of 1st time home buyers. There has been an absolute flurry of activity to hurry to try to close on a new home before the November deadline. These anxious buyers can now at least take a breath.
The credits are powerful tools for buyers and sellers, but that’s not all. Buyers and sellers notwithstanding, millions of Americans will be directly affected by the law. To name a few – Builders, Realtors, home inspectors, general contractors, roofers, termite companies, HVAC companies/inspectors, foundation specialists, brick layers, credit unions, closing attorneys, title agents, painters, flooring companies, drywall installers, hardy-plank makers/installers, deck builders, window companies, pressure washers, landscapers, ditch diggers, mtg. lenders, insurance agents, surveyors, appraisers, mill workers, foresters, loggers, haulers, moving companies, storage facilities, machine companies, framers, furniture manufacturers/stores, appliance manufacturer/retailers, tile people, Lowe’s, Target, Home Depot, concrete/asphalt layers, etc. are all beneficiaries.
President Obama is expected to sign the bill, if he hasn’t already. As exemplified by the vote count in the halls of Congress, this is apparently a home run piece of legislation.

King’s Grant Takes Holiday Seriously
King’s Grant is an all around fun community. The pool, tennis courts and walking trails are only a small part of what makes this a great place to live and visit. One facet that makes KG so fun is Halloween night.
Kudos to King’s Grant for another great event. I don’t ever mean to over exaggerate anything but Halloween in King’s Grant is a pretty fun night.
