This article does a very good job of putting some recent statistics in context. Well worth the time it takes to read! #baileys #carencro

Talk about a #ThrowbackThursday! Here's what St. John's Chapel originally used to look like. Do you see any similarities?

What a stunning well crafted scaffolding project! #scaffolding #scaffoldingservices #scaffolddesign #scaffolders #sitesafety #constructionsafety

The 'Three Redneck Tenors Christmas Spec-Tac-Yule-AR' was incredible! We had a great time seeing it at the Nixon Center in Newman this past week. You've got to see it if you haven't! @thenixoncentre #bobbieschmittrealestate #ansleyrealestate #atlantarealestate #atlanta #atlantahouses #atlantarealtor #atlantarealestateagent

That’s all well and good and I agree something needs to be done with The Grand but there are fundamental issues that need fixing first. Scarborough has a massive pothole issue and the council seems to think that filling the holes with gravel will fix the problem. There’s a massive issue with drainage in Falsgrave park causing it to be either a bog or an ice rink. The council won’t grit it in the winter for fear of liability if someone has an accident, in the meantime, residents, especially the older generation fear taking a walk in the winter because they don’t want to fall. The A64 has had “talks” about it being a dual carriage way for years, when will this become a reality? There’s plots of land/warehouse at the back of Morrison’s that would be ideal for rock climbing/ice rink/trampoline centre to encourage residents and visitors all year round. What will be done about the fact there are Poundlands and charity shops but nowhere to encourage locals to shop local building a sustainable local economy? Surely these are issues that should be tackled before injecting millions of, presumably tax payers’ money into a project that will take years to come to fruition or is this a project for you purely to attract voters?

Gentrification's Language Impact: Shaping Our View of Urban Change Reading "The Invention of a Neighborhood" by Jonathan Lethem sparked thoughts on how the term "gentrification" evolves and shapes our urban understanding. Surprisingly absent from the article, its emergence in later years underlines language's role in community perception. Thinking about my time growing up in Jackson Heights, where change is constant, makes me realize terminology's role in framing shifts. "Gentrification" is familiar but rich in meaning, evoking discourse on equity, displacement, and growth. Memories of Starbucks' arrival on 82nd Street in Jackson Heights stand out. That moment marked a turning point during my high school or college years. A visit to Jahn's after revealed the neighborhood's evolution, now evident as Queens boasts fiercely competitive real estate. Language molds our attitudes, influencing policy and responses. In exploring places like Boerum Hill, term choice shapes public perception and development direction—be it "revitalization," "urban renewal," or "gentrification." Let's mindfully use language as we discuss neighborhoods and their evolution. Understanding its impact drives productive conversations, advocates for equity, and safeguards community identity amid growth. #urbanchange #communityimpact #urbandevelopment #languagematters

Another feature in The Times 📰 The Old Rectory, located in Bletsoe, Bedfordshire, has been featured in the article, "The 20 Most Valuable House Names" 🏡 "The Old Rectory was the second most expensive name, with an average selling price of £1.3 million and half of all sales in seven figures." We've seen many historic, grand property names here at Michael Graham, and "The Old Rectory" certainly seems to be one of the most common. But whatever the name, we're always pleased to see our properties featured in the media! Read the full article > https://ow.ly/nHFg50QVwga #Property #PropertyNames #TheOldRectory
