Chico Hot Springs Getaway
Just down the road from Livingston, Montana, in the heart of Paradise Valley sits Chico Hot Springs Resort and Day Spa. Nestled below majestic Emigrant Peak, Chico is a locals’ favorite as well as a world-class destination resort.
It’s hard to explain what makes Chico so special. Sure, the location is amazing — big craggy Absaroka peaks cut up the sky — and the historic inn is lovely, but there is something more than that. Something akin to a feeling or intuition. You have to go to experience this first hand.
Between soaking in hot springs, getting a massage or facial, enjoying fine dining, kicking up your heels in the bar, cross-country skiing and mushing sled dogs, you could spend weeks at the 110 year old inn and never get bored. Here’s how to make the most of your Chico getaway.
NOTE: My family ranch is about 30 miles from Chico Hot Springs. I use to go there as a kid, long before it was the resort it is now. But the hot springs is really something to enjoy. So, file it away in your travel file…if you are going to Yellowstone National Park, this is a worthy overnight stopping point!
GMAC… Payments or Not, The Foreclosure Machine that Just Won’t Stop – Mandelman Matters
GMAC… Payments or Not, The Foreclosure Machine that Just Won’t Stop
Once upon a time…
Our story begins back in 1995 when Michael and Pamella Negrea built their 2400 square-foot, colonial style home in Eastlake, Ohio, and took out a $200,000 mortgage. Michael’s 53 years old, a Willoughby, Ohio police officer for 25 years… Pam, a graphic designer, is 57. They’ve never been late on, much less missed a single mortgage payment. Nary a one… they should be quite proud.
Since that time, however, GMAC has foreclosed on Michael and Pamella Negrea’s home three times… so far. The couple’s attorney, Stephen Futterer, also of Willoughby, says…
“It’s like a foreclosure machine. It won’t stop.”
ABSOUTELY INCREDIBLE STORY WORTH READING!
Streetcars vs. Monorails: The fight for the future of urban transportation. – By Tom Vanderbilt – Slate Magazine
See a Magnum Photos gallery of streetcars, trams, and trolleys.
There is a great, if unnamed and often overlooked, attraction in Disney World: Transportationland.
As any visitor knows, one of the most striking experiences at Disney World is navigating it. The place offers an impressively multi-modal suite of options. There’s walking, horseless carriages, steamboats, the famous monorail (said to carry more passengers than most U.S. light-rail systems), horse-drawn trolleys, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, not to mention mobility scooters and, at some parks, bikes. Then there’s the bus fleet that shuttles visitors from the parking lots to the entrance gates. (If it were a municipal fleet, a Disney engineer once told me, it would be the 21st largest in the United States.)
A great read and some thoughts about the transportation of the future….I never thought about it, but really, how many people DO ride the Monorail at Disneyworld? Hmmmmm.

6 Reasons You Want To Work With A Certified Personal Trainer
I’m so excited to have re-connected with a former co-worker of mine from my hotel management days. Beth Estes, like I finally figured out there was something more to life than answering to a Director of Sales or General Manager. Working 60+ hours per week, and when you asked for a couple hours off……like an Act of Congress.
I’m pleased that Beth has found her place as a Certified Personal Trainer. It gives me great pleasure to share her knowledge with you in this Guest Feature, 6 Reasons You Want To Work With A Certified Personal Trainer.

Get Connected Film Industry Meet Up – January 27, 2011
The film industry in Atlanta is taking off! There are several movie studios already here, and others are in the planning stages. Atlanta (and Georgia’s) climate, along with great tax incentives is quickly turning Atlanta into the “Hollywood of The South.”
Thursday, January 27, 2011 from 6-9pm, the Get Connected Film Industry Meet Up will be at one of my Midtown favorite restaurants, Gordon Biersch Brewery.
If you want to know more about the film industry in Georgia, as well as make some connections, this would be the place to be.

Parkway Properties, an investment firm based in Jackson, Miss., said it has a contract to buy the office and retail portion of the building at 3344 Peachtree Road for $167.3 million. Closing is expected in January.
The Class A offices, which are 93 percent leased, include tenants such as real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle; law firms Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins Gunn & Dial and Littler Mendelson and Hodges Ward Elliott; undergarment maker SPANX; and Fifth Third Bank.
The Buckhead Club, Barclays and Bistro Niko also are in the building.
The tower, whose swooping, angular profile cuts a distinctive figure on the Buckhead skyline, also has 82 high-end condos that are not included in the sale.
Parkway Properties is an investor in the nearby One Capital City Plaza building.
Alan Wexler, of the real estate research firm DataBank Atlanta, calculated the sale amounts to about $346 per square foot, not counting the condos.
“This is the highest price we’ve recorded all year,” he said. He believes there was as much as $250 million invested in the tower, which was finished in 2008. He believes the purchase price comes close to covering what was invested.
“It’s a Class A, very well leased building in a great location. It’s a big deal,” he said.
Regents Partners developed the building, which was designed by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart.
