My New Blog

WELL, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY 65 DEGREES ON THE OREGON COAST THIS SATURDAY JULY 26th OF 2008. I HOPE THAT LIFE IS GOOD FOR ALL OF YOU WHO READ THIS BLOG.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU WITH ALL OF THE TURMOIL OVER OIL PRICES AND FLUCTUATING GAS PRICES THE FLORENCE, OREGON AREA HAS SOME OF THE BEST PRICES FOR GAS! YESTERDAY AT THE FRED MEYER IT WAS $4.05 A GALLON FOR REGULAR AND THAT IS BEFORE A DISCOUNT THAT IS GIVEN TO MEMBERS. THE REASON FOR THIS, I BELIEVE, IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BOTH SAFEWAY AND FRED MEYER SELLING GAS AT FRANCHISE PRICES AND THEN THE OTHER GAS STATIONS HAVE TO TRY TO COMPETE WITH THEM BY REDUCING THEIR PRICES SO MUCH THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN BREAK EVEN. SO, IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO BUY GAS IN OREGON YOU JUST TELL THEM THEY SHOULD CHECK OUT THE PRICES IN FLORENCE.

FLORENCE, OREGON ALSO OFFERS A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF THINGS TO DO AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR LOWER INCOME PEOPLE. YES WE LOST OUR SECURE RURAL SCHOOL FUNDING BUT WE STILL GO ON, RIGHT? LOCALS ARE SAYING THAT LANE COUNTY IS LAYING OFF TOO MANY POLICE AND CANCELLING REHABILITATION TYPE PROGRAMS FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO FEEL SAFE IN THEIR HOMES. LAW BREAKERS ARE GENERALLY TICKETED OR WARNED AND THEN RELEASED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WHERE TO PUT THEM, NO FUNDS TO BUY THEIR FOOD OR PAY FOR A WARDEN TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.

IT IS STILL BEAUTIFUL HERE AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.FLORENCEORREALESTATE.COM AND THE PICTURES ON THAT WEB SITE SHOULD CONVINCE YOU TO AT LEAST DRIVE THROUGH HERE NEXT TIME YOU ARE DRIVING UP I-5.
