The REAL Story on the Atlanta Market

While reading The Georgia Real Estate Report, which is written and distributed by John Adams, a local real estate guru who is well versed in the Atlanta market. I was happy to stumble on information he quoted from Forbes magazine...saying that"Atlanta and Indianapolis were recently mentioned in Forbes as the two cities most likely to lead the nation out of a housing slump, primarily due to affordability. John Adams went on to ask the question..."who wants to live in Indianapolis", but that's a subject for another blog.

The article went on say that "home prices in Georgia have continued to appreciate, although modestly so, during even the worst of the current slump". And, finally John Adams states "the projected job growth and accompanying population growth over the next decade bode a strong real estate market in out area, regardless of what might happen on a national level".

Many thanks to John Adams, a voice of reason who has the experience and knowledge to back up his statements!

Tacos

Melanie and I consider ourselves to be "taco aficionados"! For some people its wine...for others it's cigars. For us, well it about getting the best taco in town. If you are looking for a good and inexpensive lunch don't go any further than Taqueria Del Sol. You will get hooked on these simple tacos. You'll find your car heading to this cute taco stand several times a week for your taco fix. Another great place is Lafonda's on Ponce or in Candler Park...great talapia tacos! Another spot is Frogs at Midtown Promenade on Monroe. They've got this exquisite grilled fish taco with spinach and mango...DO NOT BE AFRAID! We promise, you'll love it.
