The Zebra Enters The Triangle

October 29, 2006

No, not that triangle, this triangle.  It would appear that the fine people at Brick and Garden Real Estate share my affection for Dylan Thomas.  So much so, that they linked to the Zebra on their blog.  They describe the site as a quasi-blog, which I guess is true, since I can’t send a trackback to their [...]

The Zebra Grows a Brain

October 29, 2006

The Real Estate Zebra made an appearance recently on Grow-a-Brain. Grow-a-Brain is one of the more interesting real estate blogs out there. Proud to have made an appearance, even more proud that The Zebra is the title picture for the post. Now that I have expanded my mind, my blog roll has been expanded accordingly. [...]

REALTORS: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

October 26, 2006

I noticed that an open letter to Minnesota REALTORS has been making its way around the blogosphere recently. I first saw it on the Inman Blog, and then Greg Swann had something to say about it. It has been talked about in the Charlottesville area, and again in Arizona. I think the reason that the [...]

A Valuable Lesson From NASCAR

October 24, 2006

I spent this past Sunday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway attending the NASCAR Subway 500. I am a big fan of NASCAR. I started following the sport about 4 years ago, when all my beloved New York teams (Mets, Jets, Rangers, Knicks) were pretty much in the toilet. I have been hooked ever since. For those [...]

CAAR Isn’t Pravda, but Accuracy and Truth Should Rank Higher

October 23, 2006

Jeff Brown of “Behind the Curtain” recently posted a very interesting article on truth and accuracy in reporting . His example from Pravda, the official newspaper of the former Soviet Union, was sublime. My opinion is that there should not be a choice between truth and accuracy. Of course, I realize that both truth and [...]

Oh To Be a Virtuoso. . .

October 20, 2006

I mentioned briefly that I attended the Itzhak Perlaman concert last night at the Paramount. It was pretty amazing, and well worth it. I noticed that the program for the performance described Perlman as a “virtuoso.” After watching Perlman perform, I certainly agree with the moniker, but why? This lead me to think about what [...]

Not Such a Sleepy Little Town

October 20, 2006

Consider this: Yesterday was Thursday, October 19, 2006. It was not a holiday, or any day of any signifcance that I can fathom. On Thursday, Charlottesville played host to all of the following events: 1) University of Virginia football game 2) Itzhak Perlman concert at the Paramount (I went. It was amazing.) 3) Disney on [...]
