College Joe is a long-time contributor to bubbleinfo – and he really does go to college! 

Here’s a look at a new listing in his neighborhood:

If you haven’t visited for a couple of days, keep scrolling down to our latest contest – and guess the sales price of the REO in Carmel Valley, which will register you to win Chargers tickets.  If you’re wondering where others have sat, here is the photo sent in by the last winner, Daniel (theotherone):

College Joe, the season is almost over!

It’s true, shadash has closed escrow.

He bought the house featured here, and another example of how people have utilized the convenience of our video tours to assist them with purchasing a home.

I am going to ramp up our video production, and put them on a separate website for our buyers.  If you are interested, email me at jim@jimklinge.com.

From the nctimes.com: 

“This year’s Fiesta del Sol is on track to shatter last year’s record-breaking crowds. We’re serving up an eclectic mix of live music, multiple adult beverage venues, fun family activities, compelling food choices and great vendors —- all by the ocean. If you can’t have fun at Fiesta, you must be perpetually bummed out,” event co-chairman Peter Zahn said.

The party will be running from 9am to 9pm, and is off Lomas Santa Fe just west of Highway 101 –  and you can shuttle from the Solana Beach train station!

The live music includes eight bands each day, and Peter’s description of eclectic is fitting – enjoy the blues, soul, reggae, ska, dance & world beat music. 

Personally, I am looking forward to the Springsteen tribute band Thunder Road scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, plus on Sunday the Farmers at 1pm and Wild Child, the Doors tribute band at 4pm.

The weather is expected to be in the mid-to-high 60s.

Myself and some of the crew will be there, handing out pens, t-shirts, and our new coffee mugs.  We’ll have a game or two, and hope readers will stop by and say hello! 

The booths close down at 6pm.

Our friend Susie left the Central Coast of California for more reasonably-priced housing – in Idaho!

Here’s what it’s like in Potato Land:

I hope we can make this a recurring feature – meeting our fellow bubbleinfo readers, and getting a glimpse of their neck of the woods!

Hi Jim,
We wanted to get a couple of photos to you with us wearing your real
nice shirts, we just love them, Thanks so much. The weather is turning
and we’re expecting snow tomorrow, 60 degrees today though. We took
these photos from the Highlands Ranch Backcountry. This is what makes
where we live so special. If we didn’t live here we’d like to live in
your area. As you know we find your home tours the best. Thanks for
your great videos Jim !
