  Shouldn’t that headline read “900 local homes…”

  The 454 was from “1 in every 454 homes”

  No home buyer was cautioned they might be overspending BEFORE they got into their homes, when economic times were better…

  Not this month, thanks to the Inlander for paying me to write this story :)

  Taryn, hows the picture business? Next go round, we will look you up. If you can get all 7 to smile for the same picture, I will be impressed. I hate the big studios that pressure us into deciding what we want right then and there.

  Thankfully I don’t yet. I am glad you got the story at the Inlander Taryn. I do hope your photography business is going well.

  For all of you journalists here, did you know that the owners of the 3 local papers all live next door to each other at the lake in the summer. Bingo, bango, bongo. With the exception that Skip lives between the Cowles and Hagadone. He calls it the DMZ.

  HMO; I know that skip lives between the Cowles (SR) and Hagadone (Press). Is the another owner I’m not aware of? The late Harry Magnuson, who lived a little ways off, owned a Silver Valley paper for awhile. Who am I missing?

  McGregor. The Inlander, lives next door to the Cowles. He goes out on the dock and plays the bagpipes.

  DFO. Magnuson is down closer to Kidd Island Bay. His place is right across from Elways’ and next to Dennis Franz. I asked Dennis one day how he happened to wind up on Cda. He said he grew up in Chicago and his family always went up to a lake in Wisconsin. He wanted to find the same environment for his kids to grow up. He lives in LA and somebody told him he should check out Cda. He did and he did. He bought the old Girl Scout camp in Kidd Island Bay, fwiw.

  I was having dinner with my uncle and The Lovely Kathryn at Cedars Floating Restaurant when Franz brought in a big group of family. He’s definitely got the whole family thing going on there.

  HMO; McGregor has made enough money off the Inlander to live on the Gold Coast? Amazing.

  DFO, Interesting that you refer some of the property on Lake CdA as the Gold Coast. I know certain areas on Hayden Lake, (near HLCC) have been referred to as the Gold Coast. The properties around Cd’A lake have” grown up”, I guess. Good or bad? I do remember the day when it was not only the rich who had property on the lake, and they had cabins, not elaborate homes! The times they (have) are a changin’. Huh?

  refer=refer to. Dang, way to use the preview option.

  I was thinking the same thing. Wow.

  As to Gold Coast, that phrase is used all over the country, and the world.

  I played golf with Dennis at the Resort once. He invited myself and two others to join him on the 9th tee and we played the rest of the round with him. That was summer of 2004 and I’m pretty sure he hadn’t yet bought the dirt where his gorgeous home now sits. Very very classy guy. One of the guys in our group was a huge fan and yelled “SIPOWITZ!!!” when we approached him. He took a rain check on the beer we offered in the clubhouse after the 18th.

  Cantyou, You’re’ right. I know the term The Gold Coast certainly did not originate in Hayden or Coeur d Alene Idaho. It is widely used to mean pricey waterfront property. I was using it in a much more small world context. :)

  Cabbage, IEG - The photo biz is going well. And Cabbage, even if I can’t get all 7 of you to smile at the same time and I bet I can, it’s a bargain for a family your size. What’s $50 divided by 7? About $7 bucks a person. Plus you get all the images for free on a disc and the copyright. So no, I won’t pressure you to decide what pictures you want. You can take your time deciding that yourself at the Wal-Mart photo kiosk :)

  Taryn, sounds like you have a good future in the biz. I hate the overselling and pressure (especially coming on the heals of getting all the kids ready and behaving for the pictures.)

  Good luck with it.
