Last night, Zillow posted a tweet, inviting you to look at this glorious mansion on the market for $35,000,000. Please note, that is $35 MILLION. The amusing part to me, is when I clicked on it, directly under the asking price is the Zillow Zestimate: $396,500. Yes, you read that right, Three hundred ninety-six THOUSAND, [...]

A 5.9 earthquake hit just north of Richmond, but we felt it up here in Timonium! The walls were swaying, the floor was shaking. It was rather frightening. Though West Coasters tend to know what to do, we here in Baltimore certainly do not. I found a quick guide from FEMA as to what to [...]
