Mortgage Review for January 21, 2008
Posted on: January 21, 2008
“WHO ARE YOU? WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO?” When Pete Townshend and The Who penned this song back in 1978, they probably never imagined that it would come to mind during a Fed Chairman’s testimony to the House Budget Committee. But sure enough – one of the Representatives questioning Fed Chair Ben Bernanke actually mistook him for Treasury Secretary Paulson…and apologized by telling Bernanke that she got him “confused with the other one.” Great reminder to keep an eye on what our elected officials are telling us during this particularly important year, as they might just have their facts a bit confused.

Mortgage Review for January 14, 2008
Posted on: January 15, 2008
“If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute”...That’s a saying heard often in places where the weather can turn on a dime, making it very difficult to forecast. And while the weather patterns can change direction quickly, the recent movement of stocks and bonds rivals the rides at an amusement park.

The George Hochstedler House
Posted on: January 11, 2008
THE GEORGE HOCHSTEDLER HOUSE
Location: 237 6th Street SE, Albany, Oregon (in the historical Hackleman District)
Architectural Style: Stick
Builder: George Hochstedler
Date Built: 1889
Owners: In the 1880s, George Hochstedler owned the Hochstedler and Sears Planning Mill in Albany, Oregon. Hochstedler and his partner, architect Ed Zeiss, supplied plans and instructions for builders. Hochstedler had his home constructed using the finest wood products manufactured by the mill. Later, Hochstedler became the Albany branch manager of Sugarpine Door and Lumber Company. The Hochstedler House was eventually sold to general store owner Charles Parker, whose wife Hardie was a music teacher in Albany. As of the writing of this book the Hochstedler House was being used as a triplex apartment building.
ANECDOTES: Stick style architecture was considered one of the first truly American forms, where wood was seen as a medium in its own right rather than as a substitute for stone and masonry. (Many of the buildings you have seen thus far used flush wood siding to mimic stucco or masonry.) What better place for this style to proliferate than in the Northwest where wood was abundant. Wood pieces were placed in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal angles over siding at places where the unseen structure frame could be “seen” or accented. Stick work was used on Queen – Anne – and – Eastlake – styled buildings for its decorative value. The Hochstedler House has a steeply pitched, hipped roof combined with gabled roofs on all elevation.

Tabla Mediterranean Bistro (200 NE 28th)
Posted on: January 08, 2008
It didn’t start out well. Our table was uneven and every time I touched the table, it bobbled. We were seated next to a loud and obnoxious couple on a date. Not good vibes going for us. My friend told the waitress about our table. I didn’t really think they would do anything about it – I mean every place has those uneven tables. But within 2 minutes, they had actually replaced the table! They moved our drinks and napkins and place settings off the table and swiftly replaced it, then re-set our table. Nice. Eating dinner on a stable table is much more pleasant than bobbliness.
