Photos from the Field: ”Taco Bell” Buildings

By Leave a Comment

While in the field, I snapped a few photos over the past week that caught my attention. I get a kick out of architecture and design, and particularly old restaurants that have now been converted to different businesses. Below are two local examples of an old Taco Bell that was converted to something else. As a bonus, I included a shot of a former Long John Silver’s that is now a check cashing business. Enjoy.

If you have other local examples, please comment above, or better yet, email your pictures and I’ll post them (so long as they are original photos).

Market Trends in the City of Lincoln (Placer County, CA)

By Leave a Comment

I am working on an appraisal right now in the city of Lincoln. I am running some general data for the entire city and figured I’d share it here. I like to compile city-wide data and then most-importantly, neighborhood specific data. This helps me see the overall market in which the neighborhood is located, as well as the neighborhood itself.

What do you notice below on the trend graph? Does it look like there is a slight upswing on the bottom right corner? Take a peak at some other recent graphs on my blog and see if you can find this same phenomenon elsewhere. What do you think this means?
