I feel the need to share just how fantastic I think Himmarshee Bar&Grille is!!Himmarshee Bar & Grille is is located in Himmarshee Village in historic old Downtown Fort Lauderdale.  I love this part of town because it is not pretentious and it is always fun,relaxed and easy.  On the weekends it overflows with people from all walks of life and the vibe is kicking!  There a many great bars and restaurants in the area which I love (which are all worth checking out), but my favorite is Himmarshee Bar & Grille. The food is off the charts and if you have not gone there yet I consider it a crime!!They have many delicious dishes to choose from and it will satisfy even the pickiest of diners.  The unusal menu is refreshing and superb.  My favorite two appetizers are the Gorgonza Stuffed Dates with crumpled applewood smoked bacon and the Nut Crusted Goat Cheese Salad with granny smith apples! Yum! Yum! My favorite two entrees are Orechiette Pasta with homemade sausage & radicchio and the Szechuan Peppercorn Crusted Tuna with stir fried vegetables!!  Honestly you will NOT be disappointed! I give this restaurant *****5 Stars*****!!! 

Dear Florida Home Buyer,I have important news!If you want to buy an affordable home, second home or investment property in Florida, there is no time to waste! NOW is the time to purchase real estate in Florida!! Inventory is dropping and prices have never been lower!Please read the link below of an article stating that Florida sales have been increasing for 13 consecutive months!Florida Realtors Article - "Florida's existing home sales rose in September, which marks more than a year (13 months) that sales activity has increased in the year-to-year comparison, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®.""Florida's median sales price for existing homes last month was $142,000; a year ago, it was $174,900 for a 19 percent decrease. Housing industry analysts with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) note that sales of foreclosures and other distressed properties continue to downwardly distort the median price because they generally sell at a discount relative to traditional homes. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less."**The important news is Economics 101.........as inventory disappears, prices WILL rise.  Buy now or forever hold your peace.[Remainder edited for content]
