Eastern Connecticut Photo Friday

Are we almost there?

Winter is the hardest time to find photos for Photo Friday. I mean, how many photos can I post of snow and keep it interesting? We are supposed to have another “weather event” next week. Despite this, spring will still arrive right on time on March 20th.

Happy Valentine's Day!

From the Eastern Connecticut Real Estate Blog

I could have posted photos of roses or candy but since this is a real estate blog, I thought I’d share this photo I shot a few years ago of a house in Mystic CT. The photo is real, the house is that color. I added the heart for this occasion.

The Blizzard of 2010

This photo was obviously not taken in Eastern Connecticut. Our “blizzard” fizzled much to the dismay of snow lovers. I guess the photo proves there can be too much of a good thing.

I’d love to give credit to the photographer but the photo was sent to me with no attribution. I would happily ask permission and give credit to the clever people who created this!

Pepe's Pizza

I’m not much of a gambler but I can appreciate our local casinos for the entertainment and restaurants they offer. Although I live in Ledyard, I find my favorite casino restaurants are at the Mohegan Sun.

“The Original Frank Pepe Pizzeria” is located away from the smoke and hubbub of the main casino. It's menu is pretty simple. It offers “tomato pies” made to order. You can also order a salad and drinks but nothing more. You go to Pepe’s for the pizza, cooked in a coal fired oven, and made with perfect tomato sauce, fresh ingredients, and thin and crispy crust. I’ve heard the white clam pizza is excellent. I wouldn't know because I just don't like the idea of clams on my pizza.

The service was quick and friendly. A medium mozzarella pizza (more than enough for two) is $13. I added a few extras like pepperoni and mushrooms on my half for a few more dollars. It was all very good. Not necessarily great. I think I like Valentino’s in Ledyard a bit better but I’d have to try Pepe’s again to be sure.

Happy Birthday to my Blog!

The Eastern Connecticut Real Estate Blog turns 4.

My blog turns 4 today. When I decided to start blogging 4 years ago, I had no idea where it would take me. I didn’t know if anyone would even read it but I’ve heard that you do.

I certainly didn't realize I'd make a whole bunch of cool friends in the blogosphere; friends I would eventually meet at conferences and conventions all over the country. Lately my blogging efforts have allowed me the opportunity to teach others about my passion for the real estate business. I’ve been speaking at a number of real estate events like Triple Play and Inman Connect.

After the birth of The Eastern Connecticut Real Estate Blog, I created a blog called Simply Ledyard which started as a photo blog but has developed into something more. And then I launched a blog for my peers called The Real Estate Solutions Blog. That blog struggled getting out of the gate but I'm now spending more time developing it into a quality real estate resource. If that wasn’t enough, I have a mobile blog called, Mobile Linda which is really just for fun.

What's next? By the time the Eastern Connecticut Real Estate Blog turns 5, I expect to post more on area businesses and local politics.

Stay tuned.
