MB Market Update: 9/15/13
Tuesday, September 17th, 2013
It's time for one of our twice-monthly market updates.
Inventory was "up" to 59 as of the 15th of September, up from the end of August, but still down from 63 one month prior.
As we prepare this post, inventory is down again, to 56 as of the 17th.
Before we give you the rundown and links, we just have to mention 222 Larsson.
They've cut the price a whopping $12.00 today. If it wasn't attractive over the past 2 months, maybe now?
We'll go out on a limb and assume that this was much more about getting some lucky 8's into the list price than it was about making an actual price correction, or even as a play for attention.
Some people bury little St. Joseph statues for luck in selling a home, others push the crazy 8's. Whatever works.
Here's the quick overview on active inventory at mid-month:
- 59 active listings as of 9/15/13
- 48 SFRs
- 11 THs
Mid-July saw 70 listings, mid-August 63, and now here we are.
Active listings by region of Manhattan Beach:
- Tree Section: 10 actives
- Sand Section: 22 actives
- Hill Section: 10 actives
- East MB: 17 actives
You can see the complete report on active listings, with live links to every property, in this single spreadsheet on our data blog: "MB Inventory as of 9/15/13."
We're also providing a report on pending and closed sales by region of MB.
Sales are organized by sub-region of Manhattan Beach.
Here's a link to the spreadsheet on our data blog: "MB Pending/Sold as of 9/15/13."
For closed sales, we provide the past 6 months' worth of sales by region. This is the typical window of time used by appraisers.
Remember, these links are always live under the top "navbar" of the home page, right under "MB Market Updates."
Great Views, Big Score(s)
Monday, September 16th, 2013
We have to go back to May 2010 for the story of a failed listing where everything kinda worked out.
They were selling 219 N. Dianthus (4br/4ba, 3300 sq. ft.) at that time, hoping to get $2.089M, just a little over the late-2006 acquisition price of $2.000M.
The big, big, big views were the chief asset. The extra square footage for this tall and skinny home was another plus.
But the listing did not pan out, and it quit, quietly, in late 2010.
Come Summer 2011, luck was in the air. An off-market offer came through, and 219 Dianthus sold for $1.750M.
That was $200K lower than the last asking price from 2010, and $250K lower than acquisition, but in 2010-2011, you took what you could get and moved on. The market then felt mostly flat, and memories of the 2008-09 dip were fresh and raw.
2013 didn't feel like that. As Spring rolled along, 2013 felt like a ride in a rocket ship.
So the owners gave it a run on the public market. They marked it up to $2.299M, a whopping $549K more than they had paid less than 2 years prior, and $300K above the late 2006 (bubble!) price.
And they got it.
They got it, and more. Sold price: $2.370M. Get that: 35% above the acquisition price just 2 years before. And way above a bubble year.
Do you know, we had to consider whether this one belongs in the MBC "Shockers" series, and we ruled it out. It's really, really remarkable (hence this post), but somehow shy of shocking. Let us know if you disagree.
Angling for that same kind of score in a shorter time frame: 316 45th. This is a 3br/4ba TH with 2100+ sq. ft. inside, lots of parking, and views that we recently called "freaking for real."
The big score here was getting the property as a short sale last year for just $1.537M. Though the property was offered publicly and anyone had a shot at it one year ago (Labor Day 2012), it sold quickly at a price that now looks preposterously low.
We thought it very, very ambitious when the sellers shot for a quick $1M profit, starting out 3 weeks ago at $2.635M. (See "Good Work if You Can Get It.")
They quickly chopped $260K to $2.375M.
And now they have a deal.
Just like 219 N. Dianthus, this one traded late in the last bubble, also at $2.0M (OK, $1.999M), in early 2007 (versus late 2006 for Dianthus).
Like Dianthus, 316 45th has one-of-a-kind, killer views.
Like Dianthus, this one is poised to be a very big score, perhaps equal to the $370K markup that Dianthus got over a bubble-year price.
We said in our recent post on 45th: "They won't make $1 million, but if they sell, they'll do great for a 1-year hold." At asking price, they stand to gain $838K over the purchase price, nearly $725K net (approximately) after costs of sale.
Whew. Find one of those per year, and you can vacation the other 364 days.
It seems the ocean must have gotten more scenic these past few years. The views are shimmering in buyers' eyes, while sellers are counting their gold.
Weekend Opens (9/14-9/15)
Saturday, September 14th, 2013
This week we've toured new listings that aren't publicly open, and we're seeing a set of new listings come out that haven't been opened up yet for advance tours by brokers.
That means our writeups for a few listings this week will be brief, and if we can make it to the public opens, we'll be seeing these for the first time with you.
Inventory is still very cramped at 58 SFRs and THs citywide right now.
To plan your weekend open-house tours, try this Redfin map list of open houses – sort by price or sub-region of MB by clicking the title on a column.
Or click here for the new-format Beach Reporter list of opens.
East MB
1650 22nd (3br/2ba, 1250 sq. ft.) is a fixer where it's easy to see the potential and the limitations.
Two of the 3br run along busy Redondo Ave. and the noise is going to be noticeable in the main living spaces as well. So there's that.
There's bonus space that probably brings the home over the stated 1250 sq. ft. in the form of an add-on in back, along with an extra room that, among other things, formerly hosted laundry.
The kitchen and the aforementioned once-a-laundry-room are partly gutted and part way through a process of rebuilding. So this is not a move-in-ready house, but one where you need to pick up the work and finish it. That's good in a way, because we saw at least two big walls that were asking to be removed to create a vast, open floor plan, and maybe it's easier to see when the home is in a state like this.
At $899K to start, this one's got a big "come hither" tag on it, inviting ambitious buyers to make their mark and either linger, resell or make this a rental that could generate decent numbers. Uh-oh, that means there will be more than one buyer.
1650 22nd is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.
10 Sausalito Cr. (3br/3ba, 1920 sq. ft.) is a mostly original attached unit in the Village, along the outer edges of the property backing up to the movie studios.
It's trying to become the deal of the year in the Village, now asking $1.099M and practically begging for offers.
In this layout, you have one bedroom down and two up, though one upstairs has been converted to an office with built-ins.
Off the living room there is access to a concrete patio. You very much feel the presence of neighbors on either side. It's community living.
10 Sausalito Circle is at $1.099M and is open Sun 2-4pm.
405 Harkness (4br/4ba, 2300 sq. ft.) was not available to brokers for advance previews, so we have not yet seen it.
This is a single-level house that stretches across its 7500 sq. ft. lot, leaving minimal "yard" as best we can tell.
If you've been looking for a lime-green kitchen with banana-yellow cabinets, your search is over. You've found 405 Harkness.
405 Harkness starts at $1.398M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.
1613 Nelson (5br/3ba, 3535 sq. ft.) offers a lot of house on a lot of lot – an unusual 10,000 sq. ft. plot, in fact.
That means space for a garage in back, plus a yard ("well-manicured grounds," per the listing), plus a pool.
This is another one we haven't seen yet, so we're going on the pictures for now. We see pretty open living spaces and a modern kitchen in this very custom update of a 1970s original.
1613 Nelson starts at $2.199M and is open Sun. 2-5pm.
1813 23rd (3br/2ba, 1750 sq. ft.) just hit the MLS late Friday night and is ready for tours this weekend.
Whereas 1613 Nelson specifically was called "traditional," this one is specifically called "non-traditional" in its description. Yes, some kind of rebel cottage with additions.
Like a lot of Liberty Village homes, this one's a 1950s original that's been given a once-over, doing what so many people want to do: Open the whole thing up. Walls were removed to create an open kitchen/great room, which we'll call great, even if we haven't yet actually seen it. (There we go again.) There's a modern sensibility at work here.
This one will draw a lot of interest, and comparison to 1509 Magnolia, a much smaller new remodel further west near Meadows school, which made a deal with a list price of $1.349M. For whatever reason, Liberty Village homes do seem to trade at something of a discount to other areas of East MB, even nearby.
1813 23rd starts at $1.359M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.
Tree Section
644 33rd (5br/5ba, 4225 sq. ft.), had a rough time on the market when new 5-6 years ago, failing to get the $3.4M that the builders sought. It eventually traded for $2.875M, a chunk of change, to be sure.
Over time the house has come to look a lot better, as the landscaping has grown in to complement the home, and the current folks have really filled out and decorated the place wonderfully, so you can actually see the home's potential actualized. And it's terrific, deep, luxurious.
Don't miss the huge basement home theater with bonus bed & bath. That's great, though for an "estate" on a street-to-alley lot, this one does lack much of a yard. The garage in back takes up a lot of the would-be outdoor space, so you really wind up with a nice sunny patio and a little grassy area.
They're into the 5th month on this listing, and it could become something of a deal. (Everything is relative.) It's already at the 2008 price, essentially.
644 33rd is now at $2.899M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.
3520 Walnut (3br/2ba, 2250 sq. ft.) is at $1.499M, which we noted last week is not so very high nowadays for 2000+ sq. ft. in the Tree Section.
There's a location challenge, to be sure, and the layout is quirky, yet the whole listing is riding on the notion that getting this much space, updated, west of Sepulveda, is a steal under $1.6M.
Did we say "quirky layout?" That's hard to debate. The first level is all garage and laundry; you'll go upstairs to get the first living spaces, and those have step-ups and step-downs. There's one big family room toward the front, then steps down to the combined kitchen / casual dining / living room. At least we can note that the kitchen is pretty open to the room. Two smallish bedrooms complete that first level down the hall.
And the first-floor bath? Why, that's at the end of the hall, and also serves as your access to the backyard. You actually walk right past the toilet on your way to the split-level yard. So there's that.
Upstairs is the master suite. Oh, this is much, much, much improved from its condition the last time we saw it – as is the whole house – about 10 years ago. A spacious, nice bath. And a balcony with forever views.
Oh yes, the views. The listing has this to say of the home: "sweeping views of sunsets and move-in ready."
Now, let's admit, it's a little bit perilous to tout the "sweeping views" from a home when perhaps the signature feature is views of the refinery to the north, not sunsets to the west. They're mesmerizing views... of the wrong thing.
That may be the hardest thing to get over, but when you've got a livable house in the ZIP code it should find its level.
3520 Walnut starts at $1.499M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.
Failed Listing Comes Back $2M Higher
Thursday, September 12th, 2013
Even in this market, some listings don't sell. Usually it's a matter of price.
Up at the highest tier of the MB market, 250 S. Dianthus has been offered more or less continuously since June 2012.
This classic estate has been called "Summerhill" and was floated, however tentatively, as high as $15M before listing officially for $11.9M.
Then, over 445 DOM, it came down $4M to where it last settled: $7.950M, a price set in January 2013.
The property had a buyer from March to May this year, but things didn't work out.
In early August, Summerhill said goodbye to the market.
But now, it's back with a new agent and a new (old) price: $9.900M.
That's where it was at in June 2012, 3 weeks after first listing, when the sellers made a quick correction.
Of course, at this price point, it's not just a matter of setting the proper market value for this elaborate, unique and highly custom, personal property. There's also just an extremely limited buyer pool at this kind of number. Does the list price even matter? You just want to convey: "We're sellers. Come talk."
Maybe, though, some buyers are kicking themselves: If we'd been more decisive last month, we could have saved $2M.
Or maybe they still can.
2 Times a Half is a Lot
Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
It's funny sometimes to see what kind of real estate is offered in Fall.
Right now in two different parts of the Sand Section, there are separate, adjoining half lots being marketed, at least in part, as full-lot sales. Buy both, combine them and just like that, you've got a full lot for new development.
The most prime of these is at 128 8th. St.
Oh yes, a 100 block near downtown.
Legally, this is 128 8th Street and 129 7th Place, two separate lots with separate parcel numbers, offered for sale together.
As you see from our little collage, the front/main home may not be much, but the views are nice in both directions. The site just needs a better platform from which to drink those in.
The $4.150M start price is certainly rich if you're viewing this (properly) as a pure lot sale. (The existing structures are obsolete, dark and difficult, and the front unit – even if you could imagine a remodel – is "landlocked," meaning no garage or alley access, a major impediment.)
How rich is that lot price?
Last Summer, we saw new and newer construction in 100-block locations – both 128s, actually – sell in the 5's.
Those were new 128 18th ($5.650M) and newer, completely tricked out and customized 128 5th ($5.850M).
This year, we've seen workable structures needing remodels hit $4.200M (112 20th and, another 128 address, 128 20th).
New construction just a little up from the 100s has been in the 5's over this past year, too:
- 221 7th at $5.400M (Aug. 2013) - pictured; see "Twin Beachy Spec Homes Exceed $5M"
- 224 6th at $5.250M (May 2013)
- 209 16th at $5.300M (Oct. 2012)
So what do all of these tell you? It's impossible to build a spec house with a $4M land acquisition price, and even buyers with an eye to building for themselves would likely choke on that number. You have to think it's coming down.
We should note that 8th St., despite its 100-block address and proximity to beach and town, does have a public works liability – the public bathroom at the bottom of the street makes it a highly trafficked street, easily the busiest among downtown-adjacent walkstreets.
On the positive side, years ago they filmed "Weeds" there, so it's kinda famous.
Moving way north now, go up to the 400 blocks right near Grand View school.
Actually, across the street from the school.
There you'll find the other 2 lots being sold separately or together – if the right buyer comes along.
There are separate listings for 424 24th St. ($999K - pictured) and 425 23rd Place ($929K).
The existing homes here aren't ghastly, but they're dated. The 24th St. home is just 1100 sq. ft. and 2 stories on a lot where you could go up to 3.
The alley home on 23rd place is a whopping 500 sq. ft.
Both listings point to one another, beckoning buyers to grab the whole lot.
That'd set you back $1.928M before you started talking to an architect.
This location isn't going to ring a lot of bells for people. You're literally across from the Grand View playground, and 24th is busy with school traffic and other cut-through traffic, people going to and from the beach down to the Tree Section.
We were looking at possible comps in the area, well aware that true lot sales in the 400 blocks up here have been rare.
There's a back alley half-lot sale from 421 32nd Place that closed in May at $825K. (That was a huge comedown from the $1.299M start.)
There's a full lot sale that took absolutely forever to close, due to some legal wrangling, but the $1.190M closed price on 441 28th from June this year is so shockingly low for a full lot, you'd be forgiven if you thought someone might be prosecuted for grand theft.
That's not today's value for the full lot.
So is the combined value of these two lots $1.9M, or $1.2M, or where in between?
It seems clear that both of these double half lots are aiming high, presenting interesting puzzles for the market to solve, perhaps this Fall.
What 1.7 Gets in the Trees
Monday, September 9th, 2013
It would seem that the "shocking" Spring sale at 1312 Walnut has notably lifted the market across the Tree Section.
Almost suddenly, you're seeing older cottage-type homes with modest additions heading near the $1.7M range.
That Walnut home, you may recall, is a 3br home with about 2000 sq. ft. on a corner lot. Its location – a very quick walk to school – and cute garden seemed to drive the frenzy of offers for that one, which we hear made its first deal over $1.8M but still settled high at the final $1.760M sold price. (See "Walnut Shocker," May 2013.)
A few of these are recent closings, showing how the May sale at Walnut set up a string of June and July listings to hit this new price point.
2300 Poinsettia (4br/3ba, 2050 sq. ft.) is a remodeled home on a downsloping lot with 3 of its bedrooms downstairs, and the master up top off the living areas.
We felt that perhaps the layout and lot would give buyers pause. We also called this "a so-so location" due to the fact that 23rd St. ends more or less at the front of the home. Even if you don't know Feng Shui, you probably don't like having cars drive straight toward your house.
Way back, nearly 5 years ago, they tried to sell this home for $1.749M, a figure that was radically out of whack as the market was steeply declining. By Aug. 2009, the sellers accepted defeat, unable to sell for even $1.499M.
This year they sought $1.699M and got $1.675M.
Call it 1.7 for a house that couldn't sell for 1.5 just a short time ago.
592 33rd (3br/3ba, 1825 sq. ft.) is a 1950s cottage with a master added on up top. We said in our review, "While modernized in some respects, the kitchen and baths could use another go-round. Besides that, it's a pretty nice, modest family house... [with] a decent yard in back on this slightly larger-than-normal 5025 sq. ft. lot."
This one bore the hallmarks of a cottage with additions: The living room and kitchen are up front, a staircase was added in the center of the house to access the upstairs master, and a somewhat squeezed family room is slotted in alongside the stairwell.
Locationwise, this one's clearly superior to 2300 Poinsettia, yet another example of a nice location along 33rd St. We know well that some buyers simply won't look north of 31st St., not wanting to be too close to the Chevron refinery, but each time we happen by 33rd it seems a very pleasant, neighborly street.
592 33rd came out at $1.590M and went substantially over: $1.705M.
762 29th (4br/3ba, 2075 sq. ft.) was called "eclectic" in the official description, and that was a tipoff.
Despite the somewhat conventional exterior, the layout was a hodgepodge owing to piecemeal additions to an original cottage (including the enclosed sun porch), the owners had a run with bold, colorful plaster in some rooms, and truly the whole house wanted updates and upgrades across the board.
Did these factors stifle the market for the house? No.
That's a nice block, and buyers have learned recently to look past the immediate flaws of a house and grab the space and location they want now, letting the fixes and updates come later. This one logged just 7 DOM in late May and sold for asking price: $1.699M in late June.
3013 Poinsettia (4br/4ba, 3100 sq. ft.) is a slightly different case, still at the same price point. Here you have slightly over 3000 sq. ft. of living space and a corner lot. This block of Poinsettia is perhaps the nicest north of Valley and east of Pacific.
In our review, we said, "This house, well, it's different. They don't really prepare you for it in the listing, so here's your fair warning. The home is almost two separate structures, with a mother-in-law's unit over the garage that's been connected back to the main house via the top level. The layout in each building and on each floor is... unique... [T]o really give this house its due, it would probably mean moving walls and refashioning the place."
So, a structural fixer, an architectural curiosity, with a nice location. What would they get?
The seller requested $1.639M, and the general opinion was, "that's the right way to get credit for location and size while acknowledging you need to change this house."
Sold price: $1.730M, or $91K over asking. Yes, that was the right way to start it off.
Worth noting: Another candidate to have made this post would have been 724 30th (3br/2ba, 1700 sq. ft.), a 1940s original with a little one "car" garage. (Do bicycles count as cars? It's small.)
This one listed at $1.688M in late June, but quit after just 11 DOM.
For additional perspective, see our post, "What 1.3 Gets in the Trees," from June 2013.
Sunday Opens (9/8)
Saturday, September 7th, 2013
With the first AYSO whistle Saturday morning, it was supposed to be Fall.
When the first pumpkins to come to our house today (farm fresh), it was supposed to be Fall.
The kids are in school, we're getting deeper into September and Halloween stuff is cropping up in stores, so it's supposed to be Fall.
But Summer is making a last, great run, isn't it? The 80s all week, warm ocean, and crowds at the beach.
Yeah, no complaints.

Hill Section
848 11th (5br/6ba, 4600 sq. ft.) offers a luxe Spanish-inspired home in the "non-view" east side of the Hill Section.
There is a lot of space here, and not only thanks to the ample basement media room / game room / gym + bedroom suite, but just in the overall feeling of extra room almost everywhere you go. The kitchen/great room in back, opening to the yard, feels supersized, and the yard itself is surprisingly large for a lot that's not 7500 sq. ft. (as you'd see in East MB), but 6000 sq. ft., more typical for the Hills.
The original 2005 build was upgraded by the owners as they took it over, with faux painting to dress up the walls, upgraded fixtures, epoxy on the floor of the big 3-car garage, wood flooring throughout the basement, and other touches.
We first thought they under-counted the bedrooms for the purposes of the listing. As you find the house now, there are 4br upstairs, another with a closet and attached (private) full bath on the main level, and yet another bedroom suite in the basement. So that makes 6 bedrooms, while they take credit for just 5. (The main floor bedroom is used now as an office.) Alas, Mrs. MBC noted that the basement bedroom lacks a closet, so it doesn't make the cut legally.
We've already mentioned East MB – this is the size of home you'd expect to find on a "full-size" lot on the east side, but with a caliber of finish and detail more befitting its Hill Section location. It's a relatively rare combination that will have families saying, "oh, we don't have to compromise at all – everything we want is here."
There's a price to pay for that in the Hills: $3.599M to start here.
A natural comp is a neighbor on the same block just down the hill on 11th toward downtown: 711 11th (5br/6ba, 4400 sq. ft.), which sold for $3.720M in May. That one gets pluses for being on the western slope and having some views (for now), but the layout was entirely unique and not everyone's fave. The yard was really not a yard – a grassy interior courtyard.
Meantime, go east on 11th and you have a much-less-well-located 90s home crying out for upgrades at 916 11th (5br/4ba, 4700 sq. ft.) which sold even more recently for $2.380M.
848 11th is the easiest to love out of those 3. It is open Sun. 1-4pm.
Disclosure: Dave has toured this home with a client.
Tree Section
570 29th (5br/4ba, 3375 sq. ft.) is maybe unfortunate to follow 848 11th St. in this week's roundup. In many ways, it feels like it aspires to be the same house. But it's smaller and, while quite nice, lacks the plus-plus upgrades of its Hill Section cousin.
It does have the advantage of being offered for $1M less. And it's in one of the westernmost Tree Section locations that you'll find, in sight of Grand View school, just steps from the park and a reasonable walk over the hill to the beach and MB's "second downtown" in the North End. Locationwise, this one may not have the supposed prestige of the Hills, but it certainly prime for the Trees.
This is a 2006 build with a familiar layout – formal living (and dining) up front, flowing to a kitchen/great room in back. The great room seemed quite a bit larger and brighter than average, partly by design and partly due to the many windows along the sunny southern side of the house. That common area opens to the good-sized yard, which is mostly paved for entertaining but features some faux grass as well. (The description calls it "one of the largest, private backyards I've seen in the Tree section." Hmmm, you can't really check that if you don't know what else the listing agent has seen.)
Upstairs, there are 4br plus a large landing area off the master that's shown as an office loft, but could be many things, depending on a family's needs. (They even suggest it might become a 6th bedroom if closed off.) The master is bright and the stone in its bath struck us as a light, beachy choice, just a little different.
The home sold new in 2006 for $2.620M and is offered now at essentially the same price: $2.649M.
570 29th is open Sun. 1-4pm.
3520 Walnut (3br/2ba, 2250 sq. ft.) is out there now at $1.499M, quite a chunk of change, but not so very high nowadays for 2000+ sq. ft. in the Tree Section.
There's a location challenge, to be sure, and the layout is quirky, yet the whole listing is riding on the notion that getting this much space, updated, west of Sepulveda, is a steal under $1.6M.
Did we say "quirky layout?" That's hard to debate. The first level is all garage and laundry; ou'll go upstairs to get the first living spaces, and those have step-ups and step-downs. There's one big family room toward the front, then steps down to the combined kitchen / casual dining / living room. At least we can note that the kitchen is pretty open to the room. Two smallish bedrooms complete that first level down the hall.
And the first-floor bath? Why, that's at the end of the hall, and also serves as your access to the backyard. You actually walk right past the toilet on your way to the split-level yard. So there's that.
Upstairs is the master suite. Oh, this is much, much, much improved from its condition the last time we saw it – as is the whole house – about 10 years ago. A spacious, nice bath. And a balcony with forever views.
Oh yes, the views. The listing has this to say of the home: "sweeping views of sunsets and move-in ready."
Now, let's admit, it's a little bit perilous to tout the "sweeping views" from a home when perhaps the signature feature is views of the refinery to the north, not sunsets to the west. They're mesmerizing views... of the wrong thing.
That may be the hardest thing to get over, but when you've got a livable house in the ZIP code it should find its level.
3520 Walnut starts at $1.499M and is open Sun. 2-4pm.
Sand Section
421 3rd (3br/3ba, 2500 sq. ft.) is a relatively small, not-so-super remodel with a notably peculiar layout.
Is it bright? Is it fairly open? Is it walkable to the beach? Sure.
Is it extra valuable thanks to the glow around the South End these past few years?
Signs point to yes on that one, too. It's going to shock us for the second time in 18 months.
Just 16 months ago, this one really surprised with a quick sale at $1.809M.
Now it has just sold again with a list price of $2.299M, or $490K more. Evidently the offer came in pre-market, but they're still running the opens "just in case."
Last year, $1.8M was kind of a mint for 3br in general. More so when you seet his layout. One big bedroom with fireplace, which has the feel of a "master," shares glass doors with another bedroom and shares its smallish hallway bath with that room, too. So that might give you pause.
A second bedroom suite – smaller and less glamorous than the first "master" but more self-contained – is built over the garage and, oddly, accessed up a separate flight of stairs. There's a little nothing patio between the bedrooms.
Wood flooring throughout the home actually appears to be faux wood; stone flooring is used in one back room.
A stroke for honesty and truth in advertising: Last year, this one was marketed as a 4br. The idea was that you'd close off pocket doors to a little area off one of the living rooms and, voila!, a bedroom. No.
421 3rd began at $2.299M and posted an immediate deal. It's still open Sun. 2-5pm.
East MB
1812 Marine (4br/3ba, 2300 sq. ft.) has been around more than 100 DOM, and other than the obvious location issue, we've been wondering why someone hasn't bought the place yet.
They're at $950K for a (listed) 4br house, 2300+ sq. ft., a completely custom look everywhere, including naturalistic pool with built-in waterslide and (noisy) waterfalls. It's a lot for MB for the bucks.
In touring, we noted a new issue – there is no garage. It's now a family room. (Or is that the 4th bedroom?)
We could go on about the one-of-a-kind details, but should keep the list short. One quirk is the master bedroom's random grid of saltillo tile and carpet. The polished concrete flooring and counters are another. And the "bedroom" with the closet built out as a hundred-bottle wine cellar, rounded out with a tropical-themed stained-glass window – that might be one of the signature items.
No one is looking for this exact home, but they'll find a number where it starts to strike the imagination. It's a fun tour regardless.
1812 Marine is at $950K and is open Sun. 2-4pm.
Pacific Shocker
Thursday, September 5th, 2013
As long as this year's rally continues, you're going to have to work to preserve some ability to be shocked.
We've already run a small (and unplanned) series of posts here at MBC about shocking sale prices. (Links below.)
Well, it's time for another.
The lucky subject this time is 1601 Pacific (4br/4ba, 2435 sq. ft.).
Did you know you can get $2M for a 1970s house on a busy street? Here, yes: $2,001,601, to be specific.
Or nearly $825/PSF in the Trees? Yes, this time.
We smell records being set for a home of this size and general location.
Now, of course, this home doesn't look like the 70s anymore. It boasts a good 2005 modernization that opened and upgraded the kitchen, and it has nice detail work all around.
And the relative busy-ness of Pacific Ave. can be minimized as a location issue if you like the school proximity (yep, it's got that) and walkability to town and beach.
In our late-June review, we called the home "warm" and generally indicated we liked it. But we added a concern: "[t]hough the great room in back is a good space, opening to the sunny yard, a general shortage of common spaces seems to be the consequence of the smallish square footage. (We say that [even] though we really want to see 2400-2500 sq. ft. work. It's enough, right?)"
And that yard is accessed down steps off of a little deck, so it doesn't flow optimally.
In short, you could really like the house, but not without some reservations.
Oh, but lots of buyers showed no reservations at all. They said, "must have." And a $1.799M start price was obliterated.
In that review in June, we also said, "The start price here really struck us – $1.8M for less than 2500 sq. ft. on Pacific. No matter how nice, that's a very interesting barometer for this market. You'd have seen this in the 1.3s-1.4s just a couple years ago, we'd hazard."
The 1.3s or 1.4s in recent years... $2M today. Yes, that's a "very interesting barometer," Dave.
Now, we can't all just sit here goo-goo eyed and say, "wow, big number." We need some context.
So here's a trademark MBC deep dive.
We looked back at the sales data for all homes under 2750 sq. ft. sold in the Tree Section going back 6 years.
1601 Pacific is the priciest of all going way, way back to Spring 2007, pretty much the end of the last bubble.
The only 2 sales in Spring 2007 to exceed this one were both in the Martyrs neighborhood, where land values are among the highest in the Trees. Those were one with a bigger lot at 524 15th at $2.487M (July 2007), and 660 17th at $2.175M (May 2007).
So the sale here at $2M, for less than 2750 sq. ft., is at least a 6-year high.
We expanded the search all the way back to 2002 to pick up the full run of early-2000s madness.
With that expansion, all we added was 3 more Martyrs-area homes, all with large lots (6200+ sq. ft.) and one super-size lot sale (8000 sq. ft.).
That makes 1601 Pacific a historic peak sale for all Manhattan Beach Tree Section homes not in Martyrs – the highest ever for this kind of location and square footage.
The nearest high sales for "midsized" homes like 1601 Pacific that are not in the Martyrs neighborhood are on John St. and Palm Ave., two streets that seem to be a pricey submarket unto themselves, and they're all recent:
- 1905 John (4br/3ba, 2300 sq. ft.) (pictured), $1.959M (sold 3 weeks ago, mid-Aug. 2013) - this one has a huge yard but needs a kitchen update
- 1820 Palm (5br/3ba, 2450 sq. ft.), $1.900M (Aug. 2012) – snazzy re-do of a recognizably 70s house, no yard
- 2301 John (4br/3ba, 2600 sq. ft.), $1.880M (Nov. 2012) - large corner lot, mid-century modern, turned rental right away; for our shocked story on the 24% overbid there, see this post
Now if we're going to eliminate Martyrs locations plus Palm and John (i.e. prime) locations, really the one and only analogous house we find that sold over $1.8M is 2317 Pine (4br/4ba, 2600 sq. ft.), a 2008 sale of a renovated 1970s build. That sale hit $1.878M in April 2008. There is just no other example going back 11 years.
As we said up top, 1601 Pacific smelled like a record being set. Yep.
It's a historic peak sale – until the next one beats it.
Below are links to all of this year's past "Shocker" stories. We have now even created a new "blog categories" tag for these posts ("shockers"), so you can pull them all up with one click. (See the right-hand sidebar.)
"Walnut Shocker" – 1312 Walnut at $1.760M
"Shocker on 12th" – 725 12th at $1.620M
"Highland Shocker" – 232 30th Place at $1.361M
"Rosecrans Shocker" – 610 Rosecrans at $1.635M
MB Market Update: 8/31/13
Wednesday, September 4th, 2013
It's time for one of our twice-monthly market updates.
We speculated in mid-August that maybe, just maybe, we'd finally start to see a little boost in inventory by Labor Day.
Ha ha ha. Maybe later.
At this report, active listings were down by 11, from 63 to 52 – that's in just 2 weeks.
Here's the quick overview on active inventory at the end of the month:
- 52 active listings as of 8/31/13
- 42 SFRs
- 10 THs
It's just less and less and less than we saw during the Summer.
Mid-July saw 70 listings, mid-August 63, and now here we are. It can only go up, right?
Active listings by region of Manhattan Beach:
- Tree Section: 10 actives
- Sand Section: 16 actives
- Hill Section: 8 actives
- East MB: 18 actives
You can see the complete report on active listings, with live links to every property, in this single spreadsheet on our data blog: "MB Inventory as of 8/31/13."
We're also providing a report on pending and closed sales by region of MB.
Sales are organized by sub-region of Manhattan Beach.
Here's a link to the spreadsheet on our data blog: "MB Pending/Sold as of 8/31/13."
For closed sales, we provide the past 6 months' worth of sales by region. This is the typical window of time used by appraisers.
They Hit 3.6 and 3.7 in the Trees
Monday, September 2nd, 2013
We weren't exactly skeptical, but we were surprised early this year when new construction at 705 26th (5br/4ba, 4875 sq. ft.) was listed, during the framing stage, at $3.599M.
In a post in February, we tried to look at some comparable heights hit in past years. Mainly we saw similar new construction hitting $3.2M-$3.375M at the peak of the mid-2000s bubble.
Most of those homes we not near the plus-plus size of 705 26th, where the basement added about 1300 sq. ft. above the other properties.
Now, not only has 705 26th sold for asking price, its near-twin, developed at the same time on a (former) double lot, has sold for more.
That'd be 709 26th (5br/4ba, 5120 sq. ft.), slightly larger, and slightly pricier at $3.700M.
Not only are these sales numbers major eye-openers, the profitability on these projects is even more impressive.
Almost exactly a year ago, in July 2012, the double lot – legally two lots, owned by the same party and used as a single lot all along – was acquired for $1,062,500 per parcel. The lot sizes are each 5120 sq. ft., both slightly larger than normal for the area.
Lot prices have skyrocketed since that off-market deal was made. We hear tell of a nearby full-size lot where offers of $1.5M and higher were actually rejected. (What, they'll get more later? TBD.)
After that nice start with fairly cheap land, the project here was bold and visionary, digging down to get those basements and their added square footage into the mix, allowing for the big asking prices. The Cape Cod and Beach Plantation styling were only going to grow in popularity as the builders toiled – they're today's must-have designs.
Put simply, both of these homes blew away the prior highs for north-of-Valley homes on single lots. To reach this price territory in the Trees, you have to be in the Martyrs neighborhood or nearby John or Palm. Well, until August 2013 you had to be. Now the bar's higher.
NOTE: Our post in February did not account for an off-market sale from mid-2012 at 2204 Palm. That's a super-prime corner location, and the newer (2008) build boasts a basement and comparably big square footage – 6br/5ba, 4935 sq. ft. It sold new in 2008 for $3.3M and in June 2012, off-market, at $3.500M.

Dire Straits
Dire Straits
Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy. Led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Knopfler, the group built their sound upon the laid-back blues-rock of J.J. Cale, but they also had jazz and country inflections, occasionally dipping into the epic song structures of progressive rock. The band's music was offset by Knopfler's lyrics, which approximated the winding, stream-of-conscious narratives of Bob Dylan. As their career progressed, Dire Straits became more refined and their new maturity happened to coincide with the rise of MTV and the compact disc. These two musical revolutions from the mid-'80s helped make Dire Straits' sixth album, Brothers in Arms, an international blockbuster. The band -- along with Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, and Steve Winwood -- become one of the leaders of a group of self-consciously mature veteran rock & rollers in the late '80s that designed their music to appeal to aging baby boomers. Despite the band's international success, they couldn't sustain their stardom, waiting a full six years to deliver a follow-up to Brothers in Arms, by which time their audience had shrunk significantly.

Climate connection
As humans, we have created social and economic contexts that alienate us from the natural world. In our modern consumer culture, we are conditioned to seek efficiency, convenience, variety, electronic overstimulation and stuff, without regard to the impact on natural systems or, more importantly, our human connection to nature.
The antidote to this conundrum is to mobilize our personal, familial and institutional energy around the goal of deepening our connection with the natural world. Unless we feel profound gratitude for this amazing planet and an emotional bond with nature, the emergent Anthropocene era, in which humans determine the future of the natural world, could well be terminal.

It says, "people tend to be especially focused on risks or hazards that have an identifiable perpetrator, and for that reason produce outrage. ... There are no obvious devils or demons."
No devils or demons?
How about the bazillionaire CEOs of the fossil fuel giants? Their products will destroy the planet. They know it. And, like the tobacco industry, they don't care. They spend millions making sure we don't think about it and that governments don't stand in their way.
And there is outrage. The movement by hundreds of groups -- colleges, churches, cities, pension plans, etc. -- nationwide to divest their holdings in fossil fuel stock is rising up and gaining legs.
Fossil fuel corporations are a rogue force careless of anything except their bottom lines. Divestment will get their attention.

Driving rankings
Though the article about how badly Portland drivers rate based on one insurance company's accident rate was entertaining, it provided little, if any, helpful information ("Portland drivers rank among nation's worst," Aug. 29).
If you take the same population of drivers and put them in different circumstances, such as Eugene vs. Portland, you will get significantly different accident rates. Accident rates are determined by more factors than just the drivers. Accident rates are related to road condition, other traffic and weather.
For example, I expect that a higher number of traffic jams will result in a higher accident rate because coming around a corner on a highway at 55 mph and seeing a line of stopped cars will cause a significant number of drivers to be in a collision. Highway design can affect accident rates as well. Merging lanes are one of the more dangerous areas on the highway, and a well-designed interchange can significantly reduce accident rates.
If you want to look at the effect of driver behavior on accident rates, which the article implied, you need to do real studies that examine different driving behaviors in the same environment.

NEW PALESTINE — Kelli Whitaker will experience bigger wins in her high school coaching career. And Kim Wildman, like all coaches, will be dealt other tough volleyball losses.
Thursday night, though, the experiences by the first-year Hancock County head coaches couldn't have been more extreme.
Whitaker, a New Palestine graduate in her first prep head coaching assignment, earned her inaugural conference victory as the Dragons swept Wildman's Cougars 25-16, 25-21, 25-23.
New Palestine (5-4, 1-0 Hoosier Heritage Conference) finished the improbable shutout by rallying from 17-10 and 22-17 deficits in the final game.
"You always want to win and believe that you can, but you never want to take anything for granted," said Whitaker, a former Indiana State volleyball standout. "And I think we showed that in the third game because we were down, but we didn't stop and we kept pushing.
"And our girls were really hyped up about this game. We wanted it bad. And you could tell. I could tell."
The Dragons were blanked 3-0 in this matchup a year ago, but a largely new group of spikers did their part Thursday to reverse the outcome. Sophomores Taylor Lawson, Megan Hawley and Katlyn Keele combined for 24 kills; senior Ellen Poetz and freshman Kara Morris totaled 19 assists; and senior leader Jamie Morris provided the defensive anchor with 30 digs.
Lawson had eight of her kills in the first two games, which featured second-half domination by the Dragons. G-C led the opener 12-11 and the middle game 13-11, only to watch the hosts pull in front. In the clincher, with the Dragons down 23-21, Hawley provided two kills and Poetz delivered two aces in NP's final 4-0 blitz.

This is a real American
Posted: October 17, 2013
|By Andy Enright
The compact crossover market used to be a fairly undemanding place. All a manufacturer needed to do was build something that looked somewhat expensive, give it the option of four-wheel drive, build in some overly showy seat-folding mechanism and sales were pretty much guaranteed. That's no longer the case.
There are now some seriously talented contenders. The Nissan Juke and the Skoda Yeti have raised the bar in terms of engineering integrity and the Dacia Duster has knocked every other potential entrant for six with its value proposition.
Chevrolet has taken some time to enter this sector, but its Trax model aims to offer a compelling compromise between quality and value, especially in the 1.4T petrol form we look at here.
It's built on much the same chassis as Vauxhall's Mokka but brings with it some very Chevrolet qualities. It has its work cut out, but it's got some intriguing attributes.
The Trax has clearly been designed to appeal to as wide a cross-section of the compact crossover demographic as possible.
The front-wheel drive versions target those who just want a beefy-looking urban scoot that can do the school run and shopping with the bonus of an elevated driving position.
Go for an all-wheel drive model and you're not really going to be buying yourself an awful lot of off-road ability but there's plenty of all-weather traction on offer and, as you might expect in this class, the 4WD mechanicals don't require any special levers or buttons to activate.
Drive the Trax on a normal tarmac surface and it'll direct all drive to the front wheels for optimum efficiency but when the road surface is slippery, as much as 50 per cent of the drive is automatically diverted to the rear axle. Don't worry too much about heavy all-wheel drive mechanicals either. This set up adds just 65kg to the all-up weight of a front-wheel drive variant.
Under the bonnet, there are two main petrol engine options but the entry-level 115PS 1.6 is 2WD-only and lacks pulling power. Better then, to try the variant we tested, the 140PS 1.4-litre turbo. Rest to 62mph in the 2WD model occupies just 9.5s enroute to 122mph, so it's usefully more rapid than its stablemate and there's a healthier 200Nm of torque. Plus there's a standard six-speed manual gearbox at this level.
So, what will you be paying for this small, trendily-styled five-door little SUV/Crossover? Well, pricing for this 1.4T petrol variant starts at just over £18,000 – a £750 jump over the 115PS 1.6-litre petrol version but around £700 less than you'll pay for a diesel variant. AWD is an extra £1,500.
The 1.4T only comes in plush LT spec, which means that you get plenty on top of the usual Trax features. These include daytime running lights, automatic lighting control, tyre pressure monitoring, cruise control, air conditioning, an MP3-compatible CD stereo with AUX-in, Bluetooth and wheel-mounted stereo and phone controls. Safety gear includes stability control, front, side and curtain airbags, hill start assist and ISOFIX child seat fixings in the back.
With the LT spec, you'll get larger 18-inch alloy wheels, electric windows in the back, heated door mirrors, and MyLink smart phone connectivity with seven-inch touch screen, incorporating a rear parking camera.
This Trax's appeal lies in offering a blend of talents that's really very accomplished. But it'll take an informed buyer to appreciate that.

Many of the ideas floating around about filing online are actually not true.
There are so many great reasons to file your income tax and benefit return over the Internet–more than half of the returns that come in to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) arrive electronically. Canadians know how easy, simple, and fast it is to file online, plus they get their refunds faster.
Why are some returns still coming in on paper? Here's a common myth:
Not true. When you file online, the CRA may request a copy of one or more of your receipts to support the claims on your return. This is a routine verification, not an audit. When the CRA flags a file for audit, the criteria are broad, complex, and not based on filing method.

City asks residents to conserve energy
By JANE UTECHT, Staff Reporter
With heat indexes over 100 for the last few days, the Madison Electricl Department issued an energy usage alert on Wednesday.
"It's been a hot, muggy, miserable week," said Tess Nelson, load management and operations director. Anytime the weather is like that day after day, it is taxing on the system, she said, and the city is forced to buy supplemental power, which adds to costs.
City residents are asked to conserve energy by turning off extra lights and not doing laundry or running dishwashers, or at least operating those high-energy appliances in the early morning or late evening.
The city offers residents a load management program, which "really helps at a time like this," Nelson said.
The program monitors and controls customers' appliances (water heaters, air conditioners, etc.) and shifts the use of some of those appliances to off-peak times. The customers are reimbursed with incentives in the form of reduced rates and credits if in the program.
"It saves a lot of money," Nelson said.
However, weeks like this can be a bit taxing for those customers on the program who are trying to keep their house cool.
"This is when they earn the credits," she said.
The city has about 3,200 controllable items, which "save a lot of money," said Nelson.
Whether or not they are signed up with the voluntary program, Nelson said, customers should practice energy conservation through the end of the week.

"...rapidly looming outside of the fog was a little cabin."
Roan Mountain
A couple times out from Erwin, TN, we arrived at Roan Mountain. We manufactured it to Roan Substantial Knob shelter following mountaineering fourteen.five miles from the shelter at Cherry Hole. As anticipated, Roan Mountain was a rugged climb. Whenever we received there the summit was shrouded by clouds . We experienced been listening to about Roan Mountain for quite a while. There exists a highway that contributes to the ridge close to the prime with the mountain and it appeals to a lot of visitors likewise as hikers. Folks flock on the summit to appreciate the sights in addition to the very regarded wild rhododendron shrubs that dot the landscape alongside the grassy ridge. We begun our hike far too early to determine any wild rhododendron blooms although we have been mountaineering within the South. We did see numerous rhododendron vegetation, nevertheless. In Ga there have been over and over in which we'd descend off of the ridge to cross a little stream and we located ourselves passing as a result of tunnels of rhododendron that grew around our heads in arches higher than the path. The darkish leathery leaves stayed around the plant with the winter season and early spring, producing it straightforward to determine. We regarded them after we noticed them in Ga, but we experienced by no means observed them the dimensions of tiny trees. We wished we could've hiked by means of many of individuals rhododendron tunnels in the event the bouquets were being blooming.
On the working day we climbed Roan Mountain, we would not are actually capable to see a great deal in any case as a consequence of the clouds. The best of Roan mountain can be a grassy bald and over a very clear working day we would've gotten a look at like what we experienced on Large Bald. Regrettably together with the mountaintop shrouded by thick fog, we experienced a tough time viewing fifty toes before us. We held strolling alongside the path, not likely certain when the summit was in advance of us or if we experienced now climbed it, when rapidly looming away from the fog was a little cabin. The cabin turned out for being Roan Significant Knob shelter. Roan Large Knob shelter was a cabin with two flooring. My initial response was to recall the stone residence along with Blood Mountain. That shelter experienced been dim, dank, and soiled. This shelter was distinct. It had been a wood cabin and appeared freshly made. It absolutely was clean up and it experienced open up air home windows to enable in light-weight. The Home windows experienced shutters that might be shut all through undesirable climate. Inside of was a steep staircase, nearly a ladder, that resulted in a second-story loft. We hauled our things around the loft and settled in with the evening.
"The card incident appeared to impress us into motion. We swiftly packed our equipment and established out in the mist and drizzle."
The Chase
The upcoming early morning Paul bought up to start with and declared that he was mountaineering on the freeway within the other facet of Hump and Yellow Mountains. Roan Mountain was nevertheless lined using a blanket of mist. We opened the shutters to enable in gentle and wisps of clouds commenced floating to the cabin. Dave, Mark, and that i determined we ended up just gonna rest in and remain with the shelter for an additional working day. We would happen to be hoping the clouds would split up so we could get some sights within the top rated from the mountain. We laid there for some time, but gusts of wind commenced blowing the open up shutters to make sure that they'd once in a while slam from a window body which has a loud bang. Inside of an hour or so I had been bored and restless in my sleeping bag. I started off contemplating factors I could do to go some time. I abruptly remembered which i experienced introduced together a miniature deck of playing cards, almost certainly one inch large by about two inches prolonged. Within the entrance on the playing cards was an image of Charlie Brown, wanting to fly a kite. The deck was nestled with the base of 1 on the outer pockets of my pack, the exact same pocket in which my journal was saved, wrapped in its plastic bag.
I made the decision I'd enjoy some solitaire to move enough time. I rummaged into your pack and pulled out the playing cards. Dave and Mark poked their heads away from their sleeping luggage to discover what I had been around. I informed them what I had been intending to do and that i imagined they went back again to snooze. I laid the playing cards out within the ground and began to participate in. About midway as a result of my match, a giant wind gust arrived from the open up window and turned my video game of solitaire right into a video game of fifty two card pickup. The playing cards flew up in the cloud throughout me. Lots of of these fluttered in the stairway entrance and all the way down to the underside flooring. The expression on my deal with should are actually priceless due to the fact peals of laughter out of the blue burst forth from Mark and Dave who evidently experienced not long gone again to rest in the end. I crawled again away from my sleeping bag and commenced amassing all my playing cards when the opposite two men saved chuckling. Via the time I used to be completed, I used to be in no temper to receive again into my sleeping bag. Dave and Mark were being also stirring. The cardboard incident appeared to impress us into motion. We speedily packed our equipment and established out with the mist and drizzle. Paul, by that point, experienced more than an hour's head begin on us. We established our sights on catching as much as him, and billed off down the path.
We descended from the ridge and from the clouds. It absolutely was overcast and there was an intermittent drizzle. The tree trunks were being stained dim by rain and drinking water droplets hung from each of the branches and blades of grass. We ended up mountaineering having a intent as well as miles flew previous. We experienced two massive mountains in advance of us to climb. A handful of periods we arrived out into clearings the place we could see one of several mountains (possibly Hump Mountain or Yellow Mountain) looming just http://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/campingfees.htm before us. It had been a bald, and huge parts of its mass were being uncovered. We could even begin to see the darker line of your path chopping a seam throughout the yellowish brown grass to the mountainside. When we noticed a crimson speck going alongside the path alongside the mountainside throughout somewhat valley and we understood we had been searching at Paul to the path significantly forward of us. We redoubled our initiatives and it failed to appear to be much too extensive prior to we were being ascending Hump Mountain. I used to be anticipating to climb two distinctive mountains, nonetheless it failed to end up this way. Hump Mountain and Yellow Mountain turned out for being two peaks alongside only one ridge and there was not substantially of the descent involving them. I had been nevertheless anticipating an ascent of Yellow Mountain as we arrived down the opposite aspect of what I assumed experienced been Hump Mountain. We held taking place throughout the open up grassy bald in to the woods and even now additional down till we begun to enter significant pastures and farm fields. All alongside I held imagining we have been happening an extended way which intended which the climb up Yellow Mountain might be an extended 1. I believed we experienced a lengthy approach to go even now ahead of we strike the freeway. Whenever we last but not least did appear towards the freeway I used to be astonished. I requested Mark and Dave "What transpired to Yellow Mountain? Were not we purported to climb a 2nd mountain?"
They just shrugged, "We must've climbed it and assumed it had been component of Hump Mountain." was the one respond to they'd for me.
After the first shock sunk in, I used to be elated. It absolutely was the exact same emotion you obtain whenever you place with a shirt you have not worn shortly and come across a $20 invoice from the pocket. Regardless that it had been your cash to start with, you continue to come to feel like you happen to be acquiring some thing for almost nothing.
We begun climbing down the freeway. I did not even understand what our intention was what we have been wanting to achieve down that freeway - apart from which was wherever Paul s tracks led. In advance of very long we arrived to some very long straight portion of your highway and we could see Paul's crimson backpack swaying alongside a few quarter mile forward. We experienced built up lots of floor on him, but his dogged perseverance experienced gotten him to your freeway forward of us. He failed to even realize that we experienced finished up adhering to him. A couple of mile or two down the freeway we uncovered what Paul's vacation spot was. We arrived to your compact accumulating of structures a motel, a cafe, along with a retailer. I do not bear in mind any homes. It absolutely was only a cluster of structures alongside the condition freeway. The location, I later on located out, was identified as Elk Park, North Carolina. That cluster of properties was all I at any time observed of Elk Park. The remainder of the city could happen to be additional in the future, but I hardly ever obtained previous the motel, the cafe, as well as retail store.
"Ramps are like wild onions, he informed us. They mature all throughout the southern Appalachian Mountains and early spring will be the time of calendar year they style greatest."
Ramp Festival
The motel as well as cafe had been correct subsequent to every other, and over the outdoors of both of those had been symptoms that proclaimed the existing 7 days given that the Ramp Pageant 7 days. Dave and that i were being mystified, but cautiously optimistic. A pageant sounded excellent, but we puzzled what a ramp was. It was not until finally we eventually fulfilled up with Paul that we received our respond to. Ramps are like wild onions, he advised us. They increase all throughout the southern Appalachian Mountains and early spring is definitely the time of 12 months they style most effective. People today would head out to the woods and pull up dozens or hundreds and place them into salads, sauté them, cook dinner them with meat or veggies for flavoring, or chop them up and set them into casseroles. Quite a few tiny Appalachian cities held their ramp festivals inside the spring. People today would resolve all kinds of various dishes with ramps as elements and they might keep unique dinners and buffets. We were being just privileged sufficient to stumble throughout Elk Park for the duration of their Ramp Competition and following we booked a motel place (break up 4 methods) for your evening, took showers, and set with a clean adjust of garments, we went in the cafe to get a food.
To our good delight we discovered out the buffet was AYCE for $3.seventy five. Even inside the early 1980 s, $3.seventy five for an all-you-can-eat buffet was a terrific offer, specially in the event the buffet was filled with fantastic residence cooking. There was meatloaf, fried rooster, a salad bar, biscuits, corn bread, and ramps mounted in several approaches. The moment once again Dave and that i feasted which has a vengeance. This time I allow my eyes get also huge for my abdomen. Not just did I consume 3 heaping platefuls, but just after evening meal we went towards the shop and Dave and that i break up a fifty percent gallon of ice product. That evening I compensated the value. I expended a superb part from the night lying around the mattress during the motel area with my belly in agony from consuming excessive. I laid there groaning even though another 3 stood all around cracking jokes at my price.
Luckily, via the up coming early morning I used to be sensation much better, the sunlight experienced occur out, as well as temperature experienced risen into a balmy sixty five levels. Considerably relieved to get performed together with the extend of poor weather conditions, we shouldered our packs and strike the path when additional. We were being starting to get condition line fever, that exhilaration and perception of urgency that sets in each time a via hiker understands that a condition border is acquiring shut. Virginia was only a few day's hike absent, and just above the border was the city of Damascus, a famous path city by using a hostel identified as "The Place". We experienced examine and listened to much over it that Dave and that i ended up having impatient to find out it and working experience it for ourselves.

UPDATED BIO 10/1/2011: Well It's me, Momma Lindie. I lost 2 of my
baby girls, but I still have Kourtney. I was homeless when they found
me, and my other two babies were very small when they were born and
weren't strong enough. I just love Kourtney. She is a stinker, and
some family will be lucky to have her because she is a fun little
baby, I have a lot of energy, and I love to play. Walking on leash
and going for long walks is one of my favorite things to do. I am a
happy girl, I get along with other dogs, and the cat just drives me
crazy. I will let you know when I can be adopted, because I have
teeth that need to be cleaned, and something foster mom calls a spay,
(hmm what could that be?). So stay tuned.
INITIAL BIO 08/22/2011: Lindie is an adorable little girl who is 4 years old and 14 lbs (though she's a little chubby right now... with good reason.) See, Lindie was dumped at a high kill shelter by her owners who for some reason couldn't care for her or didn't want her. UYR pulled this sweetie only to find out she was pregnant! We brought her immediately to our rescue vet who confirmed via xray that Lindie was carrying 3 little babies. She is in good health and good spirits. We weren't expecting her to deliver for another week or so. (Though it was only a guess since we don't know Lindie's history or what breed her puppies are mixed with).
Well, today, Lindie's foster mom (she is being foster in Punta Gorda, FL) came home from running a few errands to find that there had been two deliveries! The third followed suit shortly thereafter. All three were vigorous little girls who are doing well so far. At this time, we are not accepting applications for Lindie or the babies. Lindie is asking that we do not receive any inquiries on the girls as it hurts her feelings. It will be some time before the puppies are avaliable for adoption, and we will be posting them when they are. Their names are Kourtney, Khloe, and Kimmy. :)
