Elin Nordegren New Florida House Photos

January 20th, 2013

Elin Nordegren New Florida Home Photos

Tiger Wood’s House		Elin Nordegren New House
These brand new Elin Nordegren Woods house photos below show you the latest on her new estate. Also below, is a comparison of her first design which is Tigers bachelor pad. Located in the highbrow, secluded, ultra-private community of Seminole Landing, Elin Nordegren’s house is taking shape. What appears to be a 3-story structure, directly on the ocean, is mostly poured concrete to protect it from the direct hurricane force winds. It is unknown if the first floor is actually living space or just done to protect the residence from potential flooding. Our guess it that architecturally, when her house is further along, it will be contemporary in style, but very different from the structure she built for her Ex. Curiosity abounds in the community as to why she is building such a large home for just her small family, as she spends much of the year overseas in her native land of Sweden. Elin originally bought an old house. Somehow unnoticed was the fact that it was infested with termites. How this happened, no one is saying, but the house had to be torn down. That’s the back story on this new house construction. Smartly, she bought directly on the ocean where houses soar in price over the years. It is surprising that Tiger and Elin’s house that they built in Jupiter Island is not on the ocean (see Tigers house then Elin designed below). While she lives in Seminole Landing, in North Palm Beach there is no golf membership that is included with the house. Seminole Landing is a very private, good-old-boys club. They don’t want any celebrities as members.

Berry Fresh Café, Jupiter

Looking for a great breakfast spot in Jupiter? The Berry Fresh Café should hit the spot! The huge breakfast menu serves a number of homemade hashes, eggs benedict omelets and pancakes & Waffles. The O.M.G. Homemade Corned Beef Hash has slow roasted brisket, chopped with tri-color peppers and potatoes. Grilled and served with 2 eggs of your choice and a side of toast. They also have Mexican Hash, Fried Green Tomato Hash, C’sest si Bon Hash (with pickled beet and goat cheese), California Hash, and Chesapeake Bay Crab Hash. It’s like breakfast, lunch and dinner into one.

All sorts of pancakes. The lemon Ricotta and Upside Down Pineapple Pancakes sounded most interesting. On the side is super crisp bacon, and awesome grits (try the OMG Shrimp-N-Grits). For the budget minded they have a $6.49 big breakfast meal with coffee. ( 2 eggs, red bliss potatoes, toast, two pieces of bacon or one giant buttermilk pancake, two pieces of bacon and coffee). There are an array of salads, burgers, sandwiches, and Panini’s.

The atmosphere is one big great room decorated in yellow with brick accents. Ceiling fans, flat screens, and an old fashioned menu chalk board can be seen from any seat. Lots of cute signs like “kiss my grits”. The wait staff all have “Pink” Berry uniforms.

Berry Fresh Café is open from 7am to 3 pm. Its located on 3755 Military trail, Jupiter Florida. The phone number of Berry Fresh Café, Jupiter is 561-401-5693

Chappy Adams, Illustrated Properties

January 10th, 2013

Chappy died in an automobile accident today. Agents and management in our office cried uncontrollably. Chappy had such a positive effect on everyone. It was a shock because Chappy was just 48 years of age.

I came to Illustrated Properties 3½ years ago and choose the company because of Chappy Adams. Chappy had a remarkable way with people. He somehow meshed easily with 650 sometimes demanding agent personalities plus management staff. I marveled at how someone could do that and never show an ounce of stress. His way with people was genuine and a true gift. Whenever there was conflict, which can happen with so many people and contract situations, Chappy somehow easily found common ground to get things settled. Everyone liked Chappy.

I just had lunch with him a few months ago. Chappy thanked me for being at Illustrated and asked what the company could be doing to improve. He was excited about many things coming in 2013 and his energy was contagious. We had a lot of conversations over the past few weeks about adding some Buyer agents for myself. He gave me good advice and was helping me organize the process.

It was an honor to work for and with Chappy. I’ll miss him a lot.

New College Football Hall Of Fame Photos

April 9th, 2012

New College Football Hall of Fame Photos

899 players and 195 coaches representing 291 universities in all 50 states will soon be on the move…..or won’t they? Rumors that the new College Football Hall of Fame might be “sacked” are just bad rumors. The new $82 million, 75,000 square-foot Hall of Fame building was scheduled to be completed in 2012 but was then pushed back to 2013. Now it’s back to the drawing phase.In the past few months there was talk that the facility might not take place at all due to budget shortfalls, but that rumor has been ‘spiked’ by the Hall itself. Phil Marwill, Director of Communication for the College Football Hall of Fame, in fact said just the opposite.”We are in the process of redoing all the Hall of Fame drawings, and we’ll make them available, which should be within the next two months. Major changes to the plans are in the works and we’ll be distributing them in the near future.Marwill said that “details will be put out when available” and promised that “they will be very cool.” It is not clear whether the 3-D theatre, tunnel entrance, or the third-floor interactive features will be slashed.The location for the Hall of Fame can be seen here in these new photos. The physical site is across the street from the Embassy Suites Atlanta at Centennial Hotel in what is currently the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) Green Parking Lot. This location is in the heart of Centennial Park and mere blocks away from the Coca-Cola Museum, Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center, Georgia Dome, and Phillips Area, to name a few.

The College Football Hall of Fame is presently located in South Bend, Indiana. It only attracts 60,000 people annually and is strictly a destination point. Atlanta Hartsfield attracts 75.9 million people per year and the city itself hosts over 16.5 million visitors each year. The exposure and the amount of visitors to the College Football Hall of Fame are enormous.Below is an alphabetical list showing all of the Universities represented and how many total players and coaches have been elected to the hall. Some surprising facts are how many Ivy Leaguers are in the Hall. For example, Princeton has 21 players and 5 coaches. The Ivy League schools were powerhouses in the early 1900′s. However, Princeton hasn’t had a member elected to the Hall since 1964.Brigham Young only has 5 players in the hall and 4 of them are quarterbacks, including Jim McMahon and Steve Young. Carlisle Indian School, which hasn’t been in existence since 1918, has 6 players, including 3 that transferred to other schools. Barney Poole was the player who represented the most Universities as a player (3), while Ara Parseghian coached the most schools (8). Ara Parseghian also is one of 5 coaches who represented Miami of Ohio, but oddly they only had one player who made it into the College Football Hall of Fame.
