Do you remember at the turn of the century how futuristic we felt? Y2K and all. How far off 2020 seemed? Well, it’s on our doorstep, folks. I am amazed at how fast things are changing. From smart home devices to self-driving cars, the future is going to really be something. Yet, we aren’t exactly The Jetsons yet… with Rosie-like robots and personal flying cars.
Still, life is good and I am always happy to share my thoughts, research and findings with you via this blog. Readership is higher than ever, perhaps a sign of how busy our little town has become. I genuinely care about this place and would be happy to chat with you about what you’re seeing in town, whether it’s a new favorite restaurant or a real estate trend. In the meantime, check out my top posts of 2019 below. Enjoy, and have a Happy New Year!
