I also found it amusing that the news covered a "sandbox fight" on election sign ...

Have you noticed that all parts of the media are always reporting on the prices of real estate across the country and whether they are rising or falling ?

It is virtually impossible to not hear, read, or see something in the media on a frequent basis with regards to American housing market.

It is interesting how things change while staying the same. There has been some recent developments in downtown Charlottetown in the past few years with such buildings like the Jean Canfield Federal Building, CERIDIAN Office building, the AIM Trimark building, The Northumberland Condos and various other condo developments. It may seem to be quite a boom which I think is a great thing but it got me ...
