The other month I got a little excited about the sales results for September. I was not sure how exactly to interpret the raw data. Looking for a silver lining I indicated that indeed we may very well have hit bottom and on our way to a rebound. I was wrong. It was just a strike of lighting - real estate still suxs. Compare the numbers above to the same period last year and see if you agree with the Press of Atlantic City, which claims the price of homes is on the raise. Remember, numbers don't lie, but liars use numbers. So, I don't know how they came up with the news article or who in the National Association of REALTORS would release such mis-information to the public. I admit I was wrong on my last month optimistic view of the sales trend. Will they come forward and admit no one rea... 11/15/2010

Get a first hand view of Jersey Shore history, as the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve and Tuckerton Seaport host a Lunch n' Learn Program this Wednesday about the shark attacks of 1916.  Those attacks changed our perception of sharks and even inspired a little movie you may have heard of...JAWS. Everyone, it seems, has seen the 1975 film JAWS.  The story is said to take place in a quaint New England town called Amity Island. Replace the name Amity Island with the Jersey Shore, and the events of the movie and book are mirrored in the historical records of the Jersey Shore. In just 12 days, July 1 through July 12, 1916, a shark or sharks killed four people and mauled 7 others along the Jersey Shore. People were in a panic because just a year earlier, the New York Tim... 11/06/2010
