Ocean City Season, 2011 Many years ago, in the 1970s, we opened the Boardwalk 5 & 10 for Easter weekend, but rarely saw much business in Ocean City before Memorial Day weekend. In those days, the season began on the Friday before Memorial Day, and ended promptly at noon on Labor Day. These days, the […]

Economic Status Report, Spring 2010
April 12, 2010
In New York, the Dow-Jones closed above 11,000 today, and the Newsweek cover proclaims “America’s Back!” Maybe so. But one Ocean City businessman told me today: The recovery is affecting Wall Street, and a little recovery might be trickling down to Main Street, but recovery hasn’t started on the side street.” I’ve been looking for […]

The Makai condo auction in Ocean City generated a modicum of interest this past November. Some condos were sold, and some remain available.

Ocean City Plans To Eliminate Jobs And Reorganize Town Government
January 26, 2010
Ocean City will offer 84 town employees incentives to retire this year in a continuing effort to downsize the town’s work force and cut the budget. At budget time last year, Ocean City used many one-time savings measures and a hiring freeze to keep spending in line with falling real estate tax revenues. In addition, […]
2010 – Year of Real Estate Growth in Montgomery County?
January 15, 2010

You can learn more about Maryland real estate at Eileen’s Web site, http://www.EileenCriggar.ReMax.com. I suspect Eileen is correct, at least regarding […]
Five Dismal Economic Indicators for 2010
December 29, 2009
The past two years have been punishing for businesses and consumers, probably the most painful years since the Great Depression. Things CAN ONLY IMPROVE in 2010, don’t you think? Not so fast.
