I thought of this recently. The DownSize Columbus team had a booth at Columbus’ Senior Living Festival at the Hollywood Casino.

To everyone else it was just the immaculate cape cod on Pauline Street. To the neighbors it was George and Doreen’s home for over 40 years. By today’s standards, the tidy 1200 square foot bungalow with one bathroom hardly seems big enough for the three boys raised there. But raised they were, Kevin, Daniel and […]

Gary Tjader came on my radar when I broke a toilet tank lid. Yes. That pesky piece which one doesn’t appreciate until it slips from your hand, breaks and you are forced to look at replacing.

There is a Russian proverb that says “when a man dies, a library burns down.” My pre-real estate career was that of a news reporter.
