Will someone send this to real estate ‘writers’ at the NYT, Washington Post, LA Times, etc?

This is fantastic stuff.

pretorius Says:

“Rhode Island used to have one of the wealthiest populations in the country. Today, the state is dramatically poorer than neighbors Connecticut and Massachusetts and other peers states like New Jersey and New Hampshire.”

It always amazes me how you can recognize Rhode Islands fall from grace but not appreciate that the same thing can happen to any other part of the country, Manhattan included.

Looking at Sothebys – the ultimate in real estate porn – on this coast the grandest old mansions are in New York and Connecticut.

I particularly liked this one:

Lishoosh, I agree. That NJ one looks very Adam’s familyish to me.

Biltmore is wonderful. I was there last summer. They make wines, grape juice, and some other specialty produce on the grounds. The grape juice was the best I’ve ever had.

bairen, they are nice, as is Biltmore. There are nice mansions in the US, but that Jersey one, especially on the outside, isn’t particularly special.

Patient – No prob. Sure you miss it.

As for Jacobean, the hall might have that influence, but the outside, uh, no.

This is Jacobean:
