My Favorite View in Atlanta
This is my favorite Atlanta view. Isn’t it amazing? It is the view as seen from Freedom Parkway and Boulevard.
And this is my favorite house. I haven’t actually been inside this house but has a front row seat to my favorite view!
When I was building out my lofts on Krog Street I watched as this house was being built. I had heard that it had been a little warehouse that had once housed a car repair business.

I have watched over time how the the trees and gardens on the decks have matured. Mine at Krog Street have too.

Atlanta Developer Gives Away Condos
Well it sure feels like I am giving them away! Since the two Wigwam Annex units were completed in October, I have reduced them $50,000 each. That is $100,000 off my bottom line -which actually wasn’t much of a line anymore. I mean, this is a great deal and although people say they love [...]

Architecture and Ambiance after my Own Heart
After seeing photos of La Boca barrio, in Buenos Aires, I just had to see it myself. La Boca was the seaport here until Puerto Mudera. Back in the day the poor working class people who lived there painted their homes with all sorts of paints that they got from the ship yards. [...]
