Haunted Theater

October 30, 2008 October 31, 2008

5:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Tickets $3.00

Have you gone to the theater lately? Notice anything UNUSUAL? How about wandering around the City of Pottsville? Was there anything that did not feel just right, like maybe someone watching you, or someone near by that you could feel but not see? We are aware of many strange and frightening stories in that area, but WHAT about the many things we do not know. As Halloween nears, rumor has it that a frightening group is planning to make an appearance at the theater…a group that does not get out very often, a group that is no longer part of the living. Come out, if you are brave, and pay the theater a visit. Entrance price will be $3 and children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Be of brave heart before entering, as the intention of these spirits is to frighten many.

Jason Sardi, Mortgage Banker: Loan Officer in Allentown, PA

I gotta give it to Active Rain, its pulse on Google has seemed to transform into various other media forms. I've read many a post here on how fellow Mortgage Professionals have been contacted by newspapers, television, magazines, etc... because someone came across their blog here on Active Rain.

A couple of weeks back, I got an email from Erica Ramus, a broker with Realty Executives in Pottsville, Pa. She had given my number to a reporter for the Republican & Herald, a newspaper also out of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. They were to run a story on the mortgage mess and wanted to get some insight from local Real Estate Professionals.

The story ran on the 27th of September and is actually a pretty good article. It's a pretty in depth look and analysis of what is going on in the Mortgage and Real Estate Industry. In simple terms, it also gives consumers insight to educate themselves when buying a home. If they already own one and are finding themselves in times of trouble, this article can also be of benefit.

You can check out the full story and the link here.

Erica and I were quoted several times in the article. I even came off as quasi-intelligent, which is typically a good thing. So a belated thank you to Erica for spreading some Sardi love to the local media and a thank you to this forum... for publicity that costs just a few moments of our own precious time.
