Posted on Dec 9, 2008 by in Tri-Cities Market

According to MSNMoney, the Tri-Cities ranked thirteenth in an evaluation of 292 markets.  Many areas of the country have experienced depreciation in home values.  Not here!  In the 3rd quarter of ’08, we saw an almost 1% increase in price appreciation – in the last year we experienced a 4.11% hike, and over the last [...]

Links Back to the Week That Was 12/7

Posted on Dec 7, 2008 by in Week That Was

I don’t know if I simply found a lot of stories this week or alternatively, if there were a lot more stories than usual to be found. Sit back and relax, ’cause here we go – When my parents split up, they sold the house where I’d been raised (in typical let’s-inflict-some-guilt-on-my-already-guilt-ridden-parents fashion I insisted [...]

Amici's: Restuarant Review

Posted on Dec 5, 2008 by in Richland Restaurants

Finally, Friday, and a wonderful little place called Amici’s. Located at 94 Lee Blvd., (GW Way to Lee, turn east, then turn left into the parking lot) this small little restaurant brings big tastes to your mouth. The menu isn’t extensive, but everything they offer is delicious.  I usually have the manicotti in the winter.  [...]

Cafe at Queensgate: Restaurant Review

Posted on Dec 4, 2008 by in Richland Restaurants

It’s Thursday, and it’s time for my favorite place to visit on Thursday – Cafe at Queensgate, 1950 Keene Rd. in Richland.  Take Hwy. 182 to the Queensgate (south) exit, go back over the freeway, turn left on Keene, and it’s on the left hand side of the street. Thursday’s my day there because the [...]

I’m due to write a review for one of my FAVORITE lunch places, and I’ll get it done shortly.  BUT, for those of you who check my blog daily, and are considering refinancing or purchasing a home (and you know who you are), hie thee to a lender, please.  As per Rhonda Porter at The [...]

Atomic Brewpub and Eatery: Restaurant Review

Posted on Dec 3, 2008 by in Richland Restaurants

Get the potato soup.  That’s really all you need to know.  The End. Ok, you also need to know about the pizza and the salads and other good things to eat there.  Old-timers will remember it as the former A&W restaurant at 1015 Lee Blvd in Richland. Take Wellsian Way or George Washington Way to [...]

Rosy's Ice Cream and Diner: Restaurant Review

Posted on Dec 2, 2008 by in Richland Restaurants

Yes, the ice cream is GREAT.  And the food’s not half-bad either! Rosy’s is in the Riverwalk Village development off of Bradley (take GW Way to Bradley, wave at me as you pass the Windermere office, and then proceed to Rosy’s, on the river side of the street).  It prides itself on its 50′s-themed decor.  [...]
