Signature Place (click for larger view) Today’s Monday, and that usually means that I’m going to say something about Real Estate. Today’s post is a little bit of advice about purchasing a condominium in a newly constructed condo building. My wife and I have some friends who decided, somewhat on a whim last week, to go [...] This is a view of the St. Petersburg skyline from the observation area on the roof of the Pier.
