Former Long Islander inquires about how the cost of living / property taxes are affecting home buyers in Nassau.

Interested in learning about property taxes and economic growth for the area. I've had several inquires asking for information about Charlotte NC recently. What is the local real estate market like.

Monroe City's former name was Lovelydale, not Lively Dale.

Barnegat used to a quiet town, very little crime, everyone knew everybody. Now, no way would I ever even consider shopping there let alone living there. Settler's Landing always had it's seedy side but nothing like now. Lex Blvd, looks like a dump, holding N Jersey & NYC's trashiest citizens. THe politians sold out Barnegat's soul when the approved the overdevelopment of the beautiful Pines. Collin's farm used to be in no mans land, now look at it, houses cresting on every property line. Dumpy, cheaply constructed housing developments litter the area. Classless, trashy city folk moved in and brought their disgusting, baseless lifestyles with them. If there are any old timers left, best to get out now before something more serious happens.

I sent an e-mail to you requesting what newspaper
is most popular in the What Cheer area? When my father
passes on, I want to put his obituary in that paper. How do you get on the blog after giving my user name and password?

It's a great place to live, with ethnic diversity.

Hello, can anyone tell me when the Hopewell picnic is this year?

While my husband was working in Forrest City he was approached by and subsequently had an affair with a waitress from Don Jose's restaurant. She repeatedly came to his room at the Best Western and even they knew she wasn't registered no one ever stopped her. To this day she continues to call and harass us and this affair destroyed our 10 year marriage and he lost his job. Now the company will no longer allow employees working in the area to stay at the Best Western or eat at Don Jose. Any women whose husbands are working in the area should be warned so it doesn't happen to you.

pros and cons of Arcadia Park Estates, TX 2008

cons: I really wish my realtor had shown me homes in neighboring communties. Almost every one Ive seen has either a club house pool or both. All I have is a tiny kiddy playscape and a sidewalk wow Apparantly other homeowners have complained about the lack of amenities. There is no community spirit as far as block sales annual block parties for the owners to all get to know each other or anything. It's pretty much like you keep your grass cut I'll do the same I manage to have my grass cut at least twice a week and edged when needed but I still ended up getting a letter from the HOA that our grass was too long while a house a few blocks away had trash piled up outside for months and grass at least 2 feet high. Unless something changes, I'll probably sell in a couple of years.
pros: Arcadia is five minutes away from the new Heritage Trace shopping center, hospital and theater which should be completed by 2010 Although there is no closeby police dept the cops do make their presense known.

My 84 year old mom and her long time partner live there. She is in need of medical and social services. There are NONE on the Island. And as far as I can tell, the closest is Harlingen, one hour away. She needs meals on wheels, nurse visit once a month, housekeeping/driver help to get her to hair and nail appointments, shopping, doctor appointments and helpers who can speak English.
I am the oldest of her three daughters. All of us live out of state, in three different states. All three of us have been frustrated at attempts to help her.
Plus, her companion is very protective, very possessive, and sometimes quite paranoid about about our involvement. He is a fishing guide (who isn't down there?) and is quite content.
The whole island is primitive (and not in a good way) in terms of care and concern. No services, no trustworthy helpers, and very limited public transportation.
We would like to kidnap her and take her to live with one of us.
We learn lessons for our own aging.

. I used to spend all of my summers in west union and i really miss coming there.My family who I would visit has died I miss them. I loved staying in your quiet peaceful town of West Union. I live in Ohio with my own family. I really miss those long summer days.

My father was raised on a farm near What Cheer. He is in a nursing home in Chicago, Il. When he does pass on, I want to know of a newspaper that What Cheer residents subscribe to
so I can put his obituary in that newspaper. This is most important to me. I know that there are still friends of his that still live in the What Cheer area. Please contact me through my e-mail, which you have. Thank-you so much! Suzanne

I go to Brooksville to visit my grandma every years. If you want a good place to retire, well that would be the place. It's small and nothing much to it.

Hello everyone in Brooklyn (schuyler county).I am feeling naustalgic about Brooklyn. And I am wondering about the people that stayed there, do you ever feel naustalgic? for Brooklyn? As this is my first time writing , I will wait and see if anyone reads this.

I am looking for some one that might still be in Crystal Lake that knew my family.

The family name is (last name) Layne. I was born in Elgin, in 1949 and lived in Crystal lake til I was 8 yrs. old. I remember a down town bar called Haznows (spelling may be inorrect). I lived at 370 LaMalado..which I understand was changed (street name). I also remember a family by the name of (last name) Lutz, Joe and Addey, they had several children and all I remember was Joannie, and Joe.

Is there anyone here that may know my family name?????

I wish to know about the Artichoke Lake cemetary. I have relatives there. Christian is the first. He was the first to have been buried there. I understood he was a 12 year old boy. Ragna Johnson is my Grandmothers mother. She is buried there also. Under a bush. I visited this cemetary once and thought that it was the most beautiful I has seen. Right in front of a lake. I want to make sure that Christian and Ragna are being taken care of. Could you reassure me of this? Sicerely, Diane

Cedar Hills is a nice place to raise a family, but it is growing too fast. Although I can still hear horses from my house, there are also too many McMansions, and the open agricultural areas are diminishing. Now we are getting a Wal-Mart: mixed blessings - no more seven mile drive for groceries, but it's Wal-Mart, and it will be the only game in town.
