Dead Market? : Discover Columbus

Discover Columbus

May. 19, 2006 - Dead Market?

In a clever story about different real estate markets, Sellsius Blog's Real Estate Markets: Is Yours Dead Or Alive? says:

"Alive & Well: Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Kansas City (MO) Omaha & Pittsburgh."

Sellsius interprets the facts from Money.CNN.com article about various US markets. Writer Ellen Florian Kratz, of FORTUNE magazine wrote an article about the relative 'health" of number of real estate markets. Columbus Ohio is a "SafeHaven" according to Kratz article.

In Real Estate Markets: Is Yours Dead Or Alive?

Sellsius blog donned the scrubs, grabbed the paddles and yelled:

"CLEAR...."

"His heart rate's still low. Give him another milligram of atropine."

I covet the photograph Sellsius illustrate the entry with.. It is soooooo ER, so Grey's Anatomy.... and all I have is a dorky cartoon doctor... but he is MY dorky cartoon doctor.

There's an online discussion re: images now about using images in blog entries on BlogTalk (a forum for RealTown Blog's Bloggers.) This blog, Columbus Best Blog is a RealTown blog. A 'blogging expert' on BlogTalk and one of the most prolific bloggers on RealTown Blogs gave a lesson in how to swipe photos on the internet. Strangely some of the photos on her blog are linked to the Google Images page ....duh....

Your Doctor is pretty cool. Getting a comment back from the people you write about is pretty cool too. Getting a comment from me, the outlaw real estate blogging desperado, must be a real let down.

>Gene,
>I appreciate all comments. I am always happy to hear from RealTown Blog's and BlogTalk's straight talking "desperado" blogger.

Dr. McDorky will have to do for now on Columbus Best Blog but check out the graphic on Sellsius. It felt like they were about to "intubate" (?) me ...when I looked at it yesterday... I think that is what they say on medical dramas.

Thanks for the comment.
