Shilla Korean BBQ

Thinking about what to do after over-dosing on turkey leftovers? Go Korean! We discovered Sushi Café Shilla Korean BBQ over the Thanksgiving weekend, a family style restaurant with warm service and very good food. We skipped over the sushi and went straight for the Korean bbq, replete with in-table hibachi style cooking referred to as the “ondol.” Side dishes of marinated mushrooms, […]

Just Closed on Another Townhouse

Its been a great run for Wellins Dwellings this year. I’ve had four closings in three months, all smooth as silk, happy buyers and sellers and personally, a most satisfied feeling.

Townhome Just Listed in Gables Point

I just listed this 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath townhome in Gables Point II, the most well-maintained of the Gables Point townhomes. This unit backs up to a beautiful private garden area designed for meeting and greeting neighbors while walking the dog (or not).

According to RealtyTrac’s First Quarter U.S. Home Flipping Report, 3.7 percent of all U.S. single family home sales from January through March of 2014 were flips. This is a small drop from the previous quarter when 4.1 percent were […]

This downtown Peruvian hot spot has splendid food, great signature cocktails and the best service I have had in a trendy casual restaurant in a long time. I’m a big fan […]

Sparkle Plenty is Closing – Crazy Low Prices on Everything

Sparkle Plenty, the fabulous and eclectic gift shop, is closing its doors at The Falls on March 3, 2014. Although it’s sad to see the 40 year store end its reign as queen of the gift shops, where one could always find something unique, special and fun, the close-out sale will give you plenty to sparkle about.

Salumeria 104 – Authentic Northern Italian Cuisine

Midtown has a winner in Salumeria 104. Although it’s not a new restaurant, friends introduced me to it last night and I’ll surely be returning. The concept is based on the Italian trattoria and neighborhood shop that serve up specialty cured meats and delicacies, also known as salumi shops. As we walked in, large wooden boards were being served […]
