If you are reading this on 12-01-07 and you have not yet uttered a word, you are in luck... say or yell "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit" yes, if you are not alone people will think you are mad but it's good luck.

It's an old tradition ...It's good luck for Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit to be the first thing you say in the month...

So if it is later in the day on 12-01-07 or IF you are reading this long after 12-01-07 lets synchronize our bunnies and meet back here and try it again on 01-01-08... remember when everyone is yelling Happy New Year... hold your tongue... say Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit and then yell "Happy New Year!"

I think...

I hope that's how it goes...

Nov. 30, 2007 - Best Columbus Ohio Suburb Poll

Someone searching for Best Columbus Suburb ended up on my other blog ColumbusBestBlog.com so I really ought to do this poll there, but I don't wanna because this blog has more traffic right now...

The best suburb is of course very, very subjective isn't it? Will Westerville and Upper Arlington get the most votes because they are the biggest suburbs by population. I believe that is true anyway... that they are the largest... Or am I wrong.. I should look.

My favorite suburbs are along the north outerbelt (since that is where I live and work) and northwest ... and I guess northeast....so those are reflected here, but I don't think I can narrow it down to one suburb. This poll unlike many I do is not multiple choice... so I probably can't vote myself...

Did I miss any suburbs?

Do I have any in the list that you do not consider Columbus Ohio suburbs?

I thought about adding Galena and Sunbury but I am not sure if they are considered Columbus Ohio suburbs. Or are they exurbs?

This poll is long and narrow so I can move it to my sidebar here in a few days... goodness looks like I need to clean out some garbage in the sidebar to make room.

Nov. 28, 2007 - Columbus Ohio Economy

"Job growth offsetting foreclosures' impact on Columbus "economy" is the headline of an article in Business First Columbus written by Matt Burns.

Good news Columbus! It says the picture is grim for many cities but Columbus Ohio is not bearing the brunt of the foreclosure crisis Tsunami as it was painted in the announcements of the Foreclosure Forum that Columbus Mayor Coleman attended earlier this week. The communities with the darkest outlook are experiencing job losses.

The Business First Columbus article after the Foreclosure Forum says: Copyright 2007 Discover Columbus and Maureen McCabe

"A report issued for a national mayor's conference this week painted a grim picture for many cities across the U.S. resulting from the nation's foreclosure crisis, but Columbus wasn't one of them.

Greg Davies, deputy director of the city's development department, said the lack of a potential GDP loss is less an indication of Columbus' relationship to the foreclosure crisis and more a gauge of how job growth has offset it.

"I think it speaks to the strength of the city," Davies said. "Columbus, even though Ohio continues to lose jobs, continues to gain jobs ... and the cities hit the hardest in (the report's) predictions have been losing jobs."

More good employment news from Business First Columbus "Columbus October unemployment lowest in state"

Columbus Housing Market is Stable.

The Business First Columbus Article said that despite the good news on jobs foreclosures are still a problem in Columbus and Davies said:

"We're trying to make people realize this is not just happening in decaying neighborhoods but in middle-class neighborhoods," he said. "People need to wake up and realize this is not just the result of somebody making a bad decision... It's a huge problem that needs to be tackled."
