Emily Gould's "Sex And The City" Quote Points To Bay Area
2008-06-17 04:09:00
Emily Gould just offered a quote in her blog Emily Magazine, and from the Sex and The City Movie that made me think of the San Francisco Bay Area. Here's the quote:?Why does Odysseus stay so long with Circe? And why, having stayed so long, does he finally leave? Why do we always stay too long in relationships we know aren?t good for us? Sometimes there?s a complicated tango of neediness and unavailability going on. Other times, it?s because those relationships are with witches who have turned us into pigs.?I can't think of a few people I know who fall into this quote as a model, well couples. It seems here it's a kind of weird divide between single and mated -- married or not -- and not happy in either case. It's the total lack of communication, I say. Too many people who don't know how to take off their iPods when it matters most -- and no, that's not when it's not working,What? Well, my point is that iPod's keep people from hearing things, like police sirens, or bus h...

Around 2:40 am on Saturday, May 24th police were called out to The Thunderbird Bar, where Poison Dart reportedly played every Friday night, due to a noise complaint. Once police arrived on the scene they found Antone Geargo Neely and Kevin Jordache Webster dead on the scene, Michael Rottigan died later at an area hospital, all three men were the victims of gunshot wounds. Police immediately suspected that the three were specifically targeted, because the club had at least 300 patrons and no one else was injured during the brutal crime.

Bay Area Faces Mass Foreclosure Problems
2008-05-13 16:13:00
A couple who returned a few months back to their mortgaged property in the Bay Area, after having spent a short vacation at Fort Bliss of Texas, have ceased unpacking even now as the situation is still very dicey in their area. Whenever they have tried to contact their lender for a modification in the loan amount the negotiation has been terminated. These hapless families with a frustratingly one-sided lender response have nothing better to do now than wait for the interest rates to come down, or face foreclosure. Nicklaus Skaggs, an army official who is to be redeployed to Iraq, leaving his family behind, would have been at a worse situation sticking to his mortgaged property in the Bay Area. He retires from the army after he is able to return from Iraq and then he hopes to buy a new house in Louisville in Kentucky. That being his hometown he also feels secure with their property rates. He even wishes to pursue alternate courses in the form of a bachelor’s degree, followed up wit...
