Close to Asheville, NC- very hip cultural scene.

The LA Times reports on a property acquired and rehabbed by Diane Keaton.  It really looks quite nice, and perhaps has some good design inspiration for your next project.  

I celebrated three years clean and sober in May.

Celebrate your small victories sir!

A good meetup in Newark is Celebrity Flix and Flip at LaRouge Lounge.

I've had social workers working for agencies who routinely defend their client's behavior, as if violent, argumentative behavior, domestic violence, illegal drug use, violation of lease terms, and of course, always combined with non-payment of rent, were just a "cultural" difference. 

The United States is enormous and widely diverse in people, cultures, climates, economies, markets, etc. 

financially they may make sense I just dont see any cultural demand for them.building for small multi seems to be slowing everywhere as well.

Also in corporate culture its maybe more common to pay for consulting and coaching ect, but us newbs arnt as accustomed to the practice?

He asked if I'd like a glass of wine to celebrate.
