Florida Home: The best local real estate site anywhere in the history of all things

the-best-no-seriously

And we have the giant banner to prove it. And the giant coffee pots. Tomorrow we introduce Florida Home to the local real estate community, with a public launch coming soon. Powered by the platform built for our old Backyard Post concept, built on a foundation of Real Neighborhoods™, and fueled by salsa and awesome, Florida Home will be the first official digital product to emerge from my insane four-year personal obsession with breaking down our vast, horizontal, suburban area into its elemental geographic communities.

I can’t tell you what an amazing relief it is to finally see my big, beautiful Real Neighborhoods™ database at last emerge from its chrysalis. We still have at least two years worth of existing ideas and plans to implement, but I’m proud of this important step away from the short term-obsessed, fear-driven outsourcing of our future.

Paper View Monday: The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and Edinburgh Evening News

This week’s newspaper building as seen in Virtual Earth/Live Search Maps is home to The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and the Edinburgh Evening News. Why steer the Paper View Monday Zeppelin into foreign airspace for only the fourth time? Primarily because I am extremely worldly, and everyone says so, but also because Google launched Street View in the United Kingdom last week. Mash your mouse on the picture below to fiddle with the map.

I will now provide you with true facts about Scotland, which, as recently as 14 years ago, was thought to be an entirely mythical land. Scotland was born in Peekskill, New York and moved to Sydney, Australia as a child. After starring in landmark films such as Tequila Sunrise, Air America and What Women Want, Scotland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in July 2006.

What’s missing in all the talk about The San Diego Union-Tribune’s sale

An oblique aerial view of its main office, of course!

After all, like just about every metro-size newspapers these days, real estate holdings apparently account for much of The San Diego Union-Tribune’s current value. Fortunately for you, the nation, and frankly much of the free world, the Union-Tribune was featured in Paper View Monday just last summerMash your mouse right here to see it.

Now here’s an indisputable bonus fact about Paper View Monday: It is, without a doubt, the nation’s favorite newspaper building-themed Monday aerial photo feature. Unless someone has a more popular newspaper building-themed Monday aerial photo feature I don’t know about, in which case I’d be really quite curious about just when exactly they started their newspaper building-themed Monday aerial photo featured, because if it started after mine I will go absolutely mental.

Paper View Monday: The Post-Standard of Syracuse, New York

This week’s newspaper building as seen in Virtual Earth/Live Search Maps is The Post-Standard of Syracuse, New York. And, as ever when it comes to Advance-owned properties and their confused branding, I have no idea where to link. Syracuse.com? Syracuse.com/poststandard? Post-standard.com?
