Keller Williams Whittier - VERY cool office, and made me feel like part of the family....... Last week I was showing property in Whittier to some clients of mine, and during that time I had some other clients contact me about some properties that would require me to print out some MLS sheets.

What a wonderful Christmas parade it was this year in Uptown Whittier! The city had estimated an approximate 30,000 visitors and it sure looked like they were right on - the streets were lined with thousands of spectators watching over 150 entries parade down Greenleaf.                 Many of Whittier's best known organizations, schools, businesses as well as public officials (including County representatives) took part in this great show of "Community Pride".                                             For lots more photos, please visit the complete album on Flickr or Facebook. A big Thank You to the Whittier Uptown Association for putting on this spectacular event, to the Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce, to the great volunteers who helped make this happen, to all those who particip...
