Thanks but we have been looking in the suburbs of Charlotte.

My son in-law is a prominent attorney and a very, very smart guy. He told me that Russian multi-millionaires bought up the Manhattan apartments for millions and were virtually unconcerned about prices. He say it is their way of hiding money from the Russian government. I don't know at all if this is true but he swears by it.

Four years ago I was looking at a townhouse in a beautiful suburban community in NC. They were asking 249K. Recently there was a similar one (but not as nice) on the same block and they were asking 289K. I don't know how much they got but it sold instantly. This was before Covid19. I really like my agent. She sold townhomes to 2 of my friends. I even trust her to a large degree but it seems as if agents want to keep the prices higher for bigger commissions. She said that people still want to retire down there which makes sense but like you; I can't see the prices not getting lower. I guess we will know soon enough. PS: VERY bad time in NY for rental property.

Real estate confuses me now. We have been looking in NC for a while now. I called our broker and she said that she does NOT expect a sharp decrease, and I was very surprised to hear this. If people have no jobs, how will they buy houses? She even thinks that the market will hold steady, and I cannot see how. I would love to know how others view the real estate market for now and the next few years.

Beer. I turned into what I always scorned lol, a beer snob. I like an IPA called Coney Island Merman (Brewed in Brooklyn). It is $10.99 per six pack and 5.8 abv., and not to be confused with their "Mermaid," a pilsner. Another IPA is from a Canadian company, Collective Arts. The beer is called "Life in the Clouds." It cost $13.99 for a 4 pack of 16 ounce cans and I can only get it at Trader Joes. It is 6.2 abv. They carry it at Wegman's in Williamsville, I bought it there last summer. They are worth every last cent, and if the price goes up I will still buy it. Both are cloudy, hazy IPAs and absolutely perfect. I'm glad these great products were not around in my younger days when I drank 5x or 10x more than I consume today. I am no longer able to drink Coors Light, Bud, Miller, etc., to the point where I turn it down at parties. Who knew?

It was rough. It used to bother me way too much. Many posters on this board would call me after certain draft picks just he hear my obscenity laced tirades. And you are JUST so right about fans being polled. It sounds crazy but year after year fans on this board had better drafts than the Bills. I am pretty happy with Beane.

I think that some would crave a total collapse if it meant them gaining, or staying in power. And sincere thanks for recognizing the fact that I said "SOME." I don't want this to get ridiculous.

I want a Ribeye from Ruth's Chris and an IPA (make that 2).

Imo, people view the current market by the way their politics lean. Are there exceptions? For sure, but most Trump supporters would look back at the last 3 years and see reason for optimism, and have a basis for doing so. Most anti-Trumpers see disaster ahead, and I am convinced that some powerful dems in congress are trying to help it along. NOT all but some. As for me, I'm not sure what to expect. I am at the age where most of my money is very safe. I saw what happened in 08 and knew that if it happened again, I would not have time to by low and recover. I happen to think that the economy is best when unemployment is low. Jmo I did however pick a stock called Church & Dwight. I was hoping it would tank and I planned to invest just a few thousand. They own Trojan Condoms, and I figured that many women would be telling us to get our corona asses off of and away from them. Then, when the smoke clears I figured it would be wild times again and everyone would buy condoms. It turns out that they also own Arm & Hammer Detergent, Oxy Clean, and other cleaning products. They even pay a dividend. The stock didn't go down with the rest of them so I stayed home. Good luck to all and don't panic.

LOL you don't need my help to respond to this! >>>>>Give me a 3 very good CBs over a RB any day of the week. <<<<< Hey, he really went out on a limb, no? So, I guess he is saying that it would be better to have Sanders, Blount, and Revis on your team than Spiller. Kinda tough to argue with, wouldn't you say? With what the game has evolved into after the rule changes, I would rather have 3 great corners than Earl Campbell, or even Jim Brown in his prime. That said, I don't think it wise to build a football team around the secondary. I think that most open minded Bills Fans would look at our dismal history and agree, but; life must be fun when looking through rose colored glasses. I was never that sort of giddy person but I am probably missing out.

The Bills 2020 Draft in Perspective
Bill from NYC replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great first post, and welcome to the board! You will find that many posters will defend stupid moves that the Bills made over the years through thick and thin. It's cool, after all; this is a page for Bills Fans. That said, your post is 100% correct. The organization was horrible, and fans right here on this board were often clearly superior to the Bills management, and this includes Levy, Jauron, Ryan, and a host of others. It does appear that things have changed, and it really is great to see. Once again, welcome! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Jameis Winston signing 1-year deal with Saints
Bill from NYC replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did you see him in Hard Knocks? He was a mess. He just would not shut up for a second and was loud and obnoxious. I can see many teams passing on him despite his talent. I even had to turn it off, he was just that annoying. I am sure that a football man like Belichick recognizes how talented he is. But BB is secure in his position and doesn't have to put up with such an obnoxious, cumbersome player, and he obviously could use a good QB at this point. Imo it says quite a bit that NE didn't go after him. Jmo. -
Hung up waiting for a windy day Kite on ice since the first of February Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow But standing here, I say I just don't know New ones coming as the old ones go Everything's moving here, but much too slow now A little bit quicker and we might have time To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind Calliope wail like a seaside zoo The very last lately inquired about you It's really very one or two The first you wanted, the last I knew I just wonder if you shouldn't feel Less concern about the deep unreal The very first word is "How do you do?" The last "Go home, your mama's calling you" RIP Robert Hunter

A Few Scattered Thoughts About The Draft.....

I'm so sorry it bothered you sir. Impressing you would have pleased me. Judging by your oh so well thought and well punctuated post, you seem to be a very intelligent person. -
A Few Scattered Thoughts About The Draft.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was not intentional. How could one not get behind a qb as talented as Josh? Still, players get hurt. Ernie Accorsi once said that the most important player on your team is the qb, and the second most important is the backup qb. Fromm does not have the talent of Josh. How many people do? I still think that he might be a good QB and we got him in a late round. What is not to like? -

LOL Being skeptical is my nature. I would have more fun being giddy about everything in life to be sure, but; I LOVED that pick!!! And, at least your post got a happy reaction from Joe. This indicates that he isn't in the midst of one of his crying fits. -

I get this but for many, many years it completely sucked. Average for the Bills is huge!
