Oct. 31, 2009 - Columbus Halloween Haunts - a poll

What's your personal taste in Halloween haunts Columbus?  It's a poll.

The Columbus Dispatch had an article about the Haunted Hoochie a couple of weeks ago.  It seems part of the Haunted Hoochies scaryness is a simulated  suicide...  

Haunted Hoochie - Halloween attraction includes simulated suicide

The article is written by Rita Price.

I've never been to the Haunted Hoochie.  Geographic? It's way out there in Pataskala and I live and work in the Worthington area.  Or am I just too old?  I visited their website earlier this year and it warned it might not be suitable if you are too young or if you are too old.  

Is your taste in Halloween fun similar to your taste in scary movies?  Is the Scare-A-Torium in the Northland area scary?  Is the Scare- A-Torium more tame than the Haunted Hoochie? I meant to go.  Never made it.

In the Columbus Dispatch article about the Haunted Hoochie which has been around for years  Rita Price wrote:

"Industry representatives acknowledge that haunted houses outgrew Frankenstein and Dracula long ago. Like amusement parks and their roller-coaster wars, the big Halloween attractions try to one-up one another with increasingly realistic effects and costumes."

It's a poll, choose all that apply or other.  "The Other"  wasn't that a scary movie in the 70s?

May. 8, 2009 - What's Columbus Best Home Search?

Maybe this blog is NOT dead... who knows.

Well maybe not best but what search do you use to find local homes? This post is written to consumers not the real estate industry or real estate social media gurus (as both groups might be biased!) about the best... being their own of course.

Use more than one? Vote for more than one... you can vote to up to six... hopefully you are NOT trying to use six searches to find local homes....

I first asked the question, long, long ago in 2006 on the original Columbus Best Blog this blog!!! (name later changed to Discover Columbus)... When I first asked, I asked about local companies:

Best Columbus Real Estate Search

HER RealLiving.com (the company I am affiliated with, now called Real Living HER)

Coldwell Banker King Thompson

and of course Realtor.com

The post with the first poll was quickly folllowed by the post with the second poll which included the new kids on the block... even though they were not really on the block.. they were far, far away... but they like Realtor.com have real estate searches for all over the country.

Best Columbus

What do you use? Someone asked me via Twitter what was the best search engine for what he wanted to do.

Search on my site and you are using Real Living HER's home search of course. 

Search for Central Ohio Homes
