Suffolk, VA

Macro Video, why didn't I think of that. The following link is to a video made on a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ 38 CAMERA. This is an upgrade to the camera that I have. With video being added to cameras you can utilize almost all the features available to the camera to the video. In this case it is to the Macro capability of the camera. This one has also a close up filter attached to it. Now the video is not all that impressive on the small screen but imagine watching it with your five year son on a 50 inch plasma tv. That would be awesome. It is also something they could participate in making.

Tidewater Community College in Suffolk is sitting on some primo land. It seems they own that big open area of land you see when you first come out of the Moniter Merrimac tunnel from Hampton. I am talking not only to the right of the bridge but to the left as well. There is about 389 acres. When this is sold to developers it will be a huge financial boon to the college. Interstate access and waterfront property. Where else in the area is there anything like this left? There is a small superfund cleanup site on the land but that will all be done by 2014.

There is a new shotgun training center for Suffolk citizens. Where can you go to learn how to use your new shotgun and make sure it is working great? You can carry yourself on down to Moyock to the U.S. Training Center. They teach handgun, shotgun and carbine. This used to be the Blackwater center but a new name change for Blackwater (Xe) has resulted in a new name and mission for the training center. They now are training civilians.

Get Square Virginia. What a title. I was just reading about about a program that may help some of our real estate clients in Virginia. It a new tax amnesty program that runs during Fiscal Year 2010. It is called "Get Square VA" and establishes a 60-day period during which, with certain exceptions, taxpayers who have an outstanding bill or delinquent return for any tax administered by the Virginia Department of Taxation ("TAX") may receive amnesty. Get Square VA allows the taxpayer to pay only the tax due and half the interest on eligible outstanding bills and delinquent returns; the remaining interest and penalties will be waived. Go here Get Square VA for more details.
