(ok, ok, this is an industry event… but I have some local industry readers…)
Basically, it is a conference about blogging and video and the [...]

As per usual, it’s video day.
The first video is an old video of Road Atlanta. It is from the 1985 IMSA event. There are a few things that are interesting here. The first is that they open with Stone Mountain, where I live. It is only a few minutes from my [...]

I just posted up the January/February Market Report for Gwinnett County on Garage Homes USA. I wish I could say that the market has turned, but I can’t.
But I can say that there are some killer deals…
