If a new restaurant popped up in your neighborhood called "Sushi Bueno", would you eat there?

Don’t think this is a negative question….What about Wang’s Enchilada Cafe? Wouldn’t that sound a little off? You know not what you would expect their specialty to be?

Yuck! I hate Seafood, so heck no!

Do Muslims get offended if we eat croissants for breakfast?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood cafe | 8 Comments »

The croissant was invented by pastry chefs in 18th century Europe to celebrate the success of Christian European armies in keeping the Muslim Ottomans out of Europe. It is modeled on the Muslim symbol of the crescent, and mocks it by turning it into food.

Can we expect to see jihad declared against your local neighborhood French-style cafe?

The kipfel – ancestor of the croissant – has been documented in Austria going back at least as far as the 13th century, in various shapes. The "birth" of the croissant itself – that is, its adaptation from the plainer form of kipfel, before its subsequent evolution (to a puff pastry) – can be dated with some precision to at latest 1839 (some say 1838), when an Austrian artillery officer, August Zang, founded a Viennese Bakery ("Boulangerie Viennoise") at 92, rue de Richelieu in Paris. This bakery, which served Viennese specialties including the kipfel and the Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators (and the concept, if not the term, viennoiserie, a 20th century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries). The French version of the kipfel was named for its crescent (croissant) shape.
Fanciful stories of how the kipfel – and so, ultimately, the croissant – was created are culinary legends, the fact that these stories have long been disproved does not prevent reputable companies from repeating them on their sites.Despite increasing knowledge in cultural history in general and in food history in particular, these myths are still found far more frequently than the documented versions.

Do the demographics of a neighborhood have anything to do with how homes appraise?

1. Not always true
2. Please don’t generalize
3. Besides the type of people moving in your community be sure to observe other things that are going on. Such as what are the school like, are all the good jobs in the city? Are you able to work where you live, or do you have to drive 45 minutes to work everyday. How many school and malls are in the area. Are there landfills and sewage treatment plants in your area. Are hospital close by, how about firestations. Theses count more than what color people are in the community!!!
4. Open you eyes and stop getting your facts from tv media and the newspaper all the time.

Whats is there to do for teens on a friday.?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood pizza | 6 Comments »

What I was thinking about doing was make a sledding track outside because I have a hill next to my house, going in the hottub & going around the neighborhood & also ordering a pizza & maybe getting a bunch of boys number & talking to them. Haha. We are already going rollerblading saturday from 7-11 & movies at 3.

most teens go out with friends to the movies or to hang around at the mall (usually dont buy anything just chill and window shop) or you can stay inside and have a sleepover and rent movies, another not as popular thing to do is to go bowling or something like that also go to a local sports game. hope i helped.

Anyone ever offer thier services to sell stuff on Ebay for other people ?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood services | 3 Comments »

I want to put out a flier in my neighborhood, saying I will help them sell thier stuff on Ebay. I was wondering what to charge ?
and what would be a good way to collect it ?

yeah i did this for a few months. made a good buck. charged 10% commission with minimum $10 cut for myself per item. did it all through my ebay account, went into my bank account, then just gave the seller the cash.
Took photos for them, wrote up descriptions blah blah. Mostly it was appliances and big stuff so just told them when the people who bought it were coming around and they would pick it up and take it away. hassle free for the seller.
