I get about 30-40 1099’s from clients each year. They started showing up mid-last week and will continue into February.

They are one of the largest employers in the state. Payroll stuff might take some time.

A rising tide lifts all boats, but not necessarily equally.

If there isn’t strong demand for existing homes in West Deer that doesn’t mean there isn’t interest in new construction.

Tap into that demand and you have a better chance of attracting demand for existing homes.

You can buy a house just as well priced up in Jackson or Lancaster or Forward in Butler, be in SV and still be able to get to 79/228 faster than from freedom area.

Certainly Cranberry helps out Beaver, but there isn’t that much cross shopping.

You can tell by the hardline of development ending at the county border the whole way up to Ellwood City. Land is way cheaper on the Beaver side but the developers aren’t biting.

School districts are largely a matter of perception being reality. SV has an outsized reputation and no district in Beaver is even close.

These more rural areas hate to see taxes go up but then also hate the very development that could help mitigate such tax increases.

Go into a place like Cranberry. 1970’s Ryan Homes split entries with 3 beds, 1 bath and a 1 car garage at about 1000sf are going over $300k now.

You can’t build it cheaper with land values as they are.

Cranberry isn’t doing much for your resale in Beaver Co. Seneca Valley and access to 79/76 is the driver.

There is a winter fest at the East Brady underground storage facility next weekend.

The one in East Brady does cars and there is a similar one in Beaver Co. Iron Mountain in Boyers does a bit of everything and even has substantial office space.

I thought the mushroom farm closed?

That’s Iron Mountain up in Boyers probably.

Do you itemize?

It’s “closer” than many parts of the northern suburbs in Allegheny because it takes so long to go east/west to get to 79 or 279 there.

Light rail from Cranberry down 79 and 279 to downtown.

Eddie Merlot’s has always been the best dressed crowd of my V-Day dinners.

I switched from oil to natural gas about 10 years ago.

Would go through just about 1000 gallons in a year and it cost over $4k to fill up the summer before I switched. It’s costs less than $2k to heat the exact same house with gas.

And that’s after a decade of gas prices going up.

They heard about the neighborhood with no snow…

I have a helium canister only “lightly” used…

Hmm looking outside between yesterday and this morning and I’d say 2-2.5” tops about 7 miles from Butler.

I hear there is a neighborhood that gets no snow…might be the whole city.

The “I’ve never been past Harrisburg” map

$480 3400sf ranch that was at 73-74. Probably going to crank it back a bit and make good use of this warm January.

Oh I’m not worried about myself. I’ll gladly go fast. I get worried about people driving beyond their skills or cutting in and out around much slower moving cars.

…and the big bump in fines. PSP doesn’t bat an eye for 80 in a 70- even 85 doesn’t always get a response- but I think 90+ is close to a sure thing.

I had a 90 Spirit with a factory CD player as a college car. Thing was sweet.
