• Atheist Patrick Greene, Who Threatened to Sue Over Courthouse Nativity Scene, Sparks New Controversy (AOL Real Estate)

  Nov 24th 2012 12:58PM I do not think that posting the sign is really necessary any more. If it has reached AOL, I'm sure local news has reported it. If local news has reported it, it has reached more people than just posting the sign would have.

• U.S. Cities With the Most Vacant Homes (AOL Real Estate)

  Nov 22nd 2012 10:48AM Not often I recognize a pic before I read the caption. Gary, IN was one of those times I did. Perhaps because I lived close by in Calumet City, IL FOR MOST OF THE 70S AND 80S.

• This Seattle Church Conversion Will Make You a Believer (AOL Real Estate)

  Jul 7th 2012 8:26PM This is not a new idea at all. My first wife and I were looking at a church back in the 80s and we got the idea from even earlier examples of church to home conversions.

• Mezuzah Case: Condo Association Bylaw vs. Jewish Practice (AOL Real Estate)

  Mar 29th 2012 5:47PM I live not far from where this woman maintains a residence. I too believe that this is nothing more than discrimination of the worst kind.

• Vagabond Tales: The strange food of Vietnam (Gadling)

  Jan 22nd 2012 10:36AM They are "strange" foods only because it's not standard fare here in the U.S. You travel overseas and you'll find that there are regions that consider some "strange" foods to be everyday fare.

  Jan 10th 2012 9:04PM B.O.A. is at it again.

• The Minor Threat: Age-Restricted Communities Evicting Children (AOL Real Estate)

  Jan 6th 2012 7:01PM Heartless idiots. There should be exceptions/exemptions to rules like the one giving this child's grandparents so much trouble.
