A Trip to Mount Washington Observatory

Spend a night over at New Hampshire's Mount Washington Observatory through mid-April 2008.

Trips leave from the base of Mount Washington at 8:30 a.m. on the first day of the two-day trip, then head back to the valley the next afternoon (weather permitting). The trip includes transportation, lectures and field trips, tours of the observatory and the summit, all meals and overnight lodging.

Sleeping arrangements are summer camp style, with bunk beds and a shared bathroom. There is heat, but no showers for guests.

The EduTrip program is open to members of the observatory, and most participants join just to make the trip. In addition to the membership fee ($30 and up), the cost of each trip is $459 per person. Any "physically fit" adult can make the trip, as can teenagers 14 and older who are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Hollis Heritage Commission to catalog pre-1960s homes

Hollis has its share of history, and now a small group of volunteers is working on an ambitious project to catalog it.

Last week, the Hollis selectmen agreed to allow the heritage commission to accept a $15,000 grant from the N.H. Division of Historical Resources to create a database of vital statistics for more than 560 structures in Hollis built before 1960.

New Hampshire Small Business Owners Struggle in Uncertain Times

New Hampshire is a state that relies heavily on small businesses for its well-being. One out of every 4 businesses employ 20 people or less. So when the small business owners start to sneeze, there is chance that the whole state may catch cold.

Not only the latest sub-prime mortgage crisis but other factors like increasing fuel prices and medical expenses have also contributed to the recent downturn of fortunes on New Hampshire's proverbial Main Street. People seem to be more careful with their money and think twice before they make a purchase.

Small businesses in various New Hampshire cities polled by New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper mostly reported the same thing – times are rough and they are barely making it.
Ron Poirier, co-owner of Bob & Sons Automotive on Manchester's West Side, said "we're just treading water waiting for the lifeboat to pick us up."

Jim Flowers, who owns a retail store in Manchester, felt better about his 15% increase in sales in December. But in January, his gross dipped by 50% and he expects February to bring in even less.

The Scrapbook Attic on the mall in Lebanon is reportedly going out of business at the end of this month (February 2008).

The number of going-out-of-business signs seems to have increased lately on Nashua's Main Street. Absolutely New Hampshire, a made-in-New Hampshire gift shop, and Sugar Snaps, a high-end children's clothing store, are just two of them.

A 21,000 sq ft development project planned for Goffstown by Brookfield Investment Group was put on hold when not enough commercial tenants showed interest.

However, a number of new restaurant and stores have also sprung up in downtown Nashua recently.

All businesses are cyclical in nature. Given the traditional vitality of small businesses in New Hampshire and the consumer loyalty with which a lot of Granite State businesses have been awarded for decades in the past, those mom and pop stores that can weather this storm will again be glad they are doing business in New Hampshire.

Now I know how to negotiate with home buyers and sellers.

I don't know why I'm so fortunate tonight but I've stumbled across a second video that I just have to share with all of you. Whether you're a home buyer or seller - watch out! Now, I really know how to negotiate.

Check it out and leave me a comment below.

Cheers.

Are Home Buyers Acting Like This?

I just saw this video and was wondering if anyone thinks that it could be a metaphor for what's happening with home buyers these days.






Please let me know what you think of this.
