Beyond the Commute: How Mass Transit Fuels Town Growth

write a two paragraph blog about Trains, Planes and Automobiles -How does Mass Transit help a town grow.

Beyond the Commute: How Mass Transit Fuels Town Growth

Mass transit systems are far more than just a way to get from point A to point B; they are powerful engines for community growth and economic vitality. By offering efficient and accessible transportation options like trains, buses, and light rail, towns can significantly reduce traffic congestion, leading to less time spent in cars and more time for productive activities or leisure. This improved mobility not only enhances the quality of life for residents by cutting down on commute times and stress, but it also creates a more appealing environment for businesses looking to set up shop. When employees can easily access their workplaces from various neighborhoods, a wider talent pool becomes available, boosting productivity and fostering economic innovation.

Furthermore, a robust mass transit system encourages “transit-oriented development” (TOD), transforming areas around stations into vibrant hubs. This often leads to increased property values, higher tax revenues for the town, and the development of new retail, residential, and office spaces. By reducing the need for extensive parking lots, land can be utilized for more productive and attractive purposes, fostering walkable communities and stimulating local businesses. In essence, well-planned mass transit isn’t just about moving people; it’s about building stronger economies, fostering social equity by providing mobility to all residents regardless of car ownership, and creating more sustainable and desirable places to live, work, and thrive.

Write a two paragraph blog about finding local Poets and writers – Are there any writer groups in your area. Embrace the arts. Include a title for this blog

Unearthing Local Voices: Finding Your Literary Community

The arts are a vibrant part of any community, and for those with a passion for words, discovering local poets and writers can be incredibly enriching. Beyond the solitude of the blank page, connecting with fellow literary enthusiasts offers a unique blend of inspiration, constructive feedback, and camaraderie. Whether you’re a seasoned novelist, a budding poet, or simply someone who loves to explore the written word, finding a local writing or poetry group can provide the encouragement and insight you need to hone your craft and share your voice.

In our area of Secaucus, New Jersey, and the broader Bergen and Hudson County regions, there are indeed places where writers and poets gather. The Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College in Paterson, for instance, is a renowned hub for poetry, hosting readings, workshops, and even literary contests. Groups like Jersey City Writers also offer workshops, open mics, and a community for various genres. Public libraries are often excellent starting points for finding local literary events or even established writing clubs. Embracing these artistic communities not only enriches your own creative journey but also contributes to the thriving cultural landscape right in your backyard.

Echoes of the Past: Why Historical Areas Keep Our Towns Grounded

July 9, 2025 · by johntarheel76

write a two paragraph blog about the importance of historical areas of a town or city and why preservation societies can help keep towns grounded in history.

Echoes of the Past: Why Historical Areas Keep Our Towns Grounded

Historical areas within a town or city are much more than just old buildings; they are living testaments to the journey and identity of a community. These districts, with their unique architecture, original street layouts, and preserved landmarks, offer a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of the people, events, and industries that shaped the place we call home. They tell stories of struggle and triumph, innovation and tradition, providing invaluable lessons and a deeper understanding of our collective heritage. Without these physical reminders, a town risks losing its unique character and becoming indistinguishable from any other modern development, sacrificing its soul for mere newness.

This is precisely where preservation societies become indispensable. Organizations dedicated to historical preservation act as guardians of a town’s legacy, working tirelessly to identify, protect, and restore significant structures and areas. They advocate for responsible development that respects historical context, educate the public on the importance of heritage, and often secure funding for restoration projects that would otherwise be impossible. By safeguarding these historical pockets, preservation societies ensure that future generations can walk through the same streets, admire the same architecture, and feel connected to the rich narratives that make a town truly unique and grounded in its own vibrant history.

Exterior Paint!

July 31, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and let’s talk about exterior paint.

So your realty idea of the day is to talk about exterior paint. What are the popular colors? And if you don’t know, go down to your local Lowe’s or your Home Depot or Sherwin Williams or wherever, and ask the people who mix the paint, “Hey, what are you mixing the most of these days?” If somebody lives in a nature way or a historic home community, they may have limited color choices. If they don’t, then they can paint their house purple or pink or bright green or any other thing they want to, which is great because they’re expressive and that’s wonderful. But all the neighbors around you are like, “Really? Why are you doing that?”

So let’s talk about home exterior colors and let’s talk about the colors that sell. So obviously, a more neutral-colored home is gonna sell faster than one that’s chartreuse or bright blue. So let’s talk to our sphere about exterior paint, maybe even post a couple of pictures of some traditionally painted houses and some brightly-colored houses, see which one everybody picks.

Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, this would be a great…oh, my gosh. That would be a great picture post. Take care. Ask your sphere what they want in their exterior paint. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

New Places To Eat

July 30, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and my mind is always on food. So today’s “Realty Idea of the Day” is new places to eat in town. I know the City of Carrollton where I live, they publish a list of new restaurants that have just gotten a new city permit. So if there is 10 or 20 or 2 new restaurants in town, let’s talk about them. Let’s profile them, let’s talk about them through our sphere. Let’s find their Facebook page and their Instagram and chat them up and tag them in posts.

Here’s what I like to do. I like to give people a really good review. If the place is awful, I’ll intend just not to post about it. But the place is amazing, I’m gonna say something. And if it’s in the middle, I’ll say something nice. So if people wanna post nasty stuff, there’s Yelp for that but I would prefer to have, at least in my blog about my city, nothing but positivity there.

So anyway, Bob McCranie, let’s go find the new places for food and let’s go eat because I’m hungry. Anyway, go find the new places, talk about it on your sphere, and ask people where they like to go and eat in your town. Take care. There’ll be another “Realty Idea of the Day” posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Historic Parts of Town

July 29, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everybody. It’s, Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is historic places in your town. So, every town has a history, let’s find out what ours is. Let’s talk about the first neighborhoods, the first settlers. I bet your street names, you may not know this, are named after the first settlers in your town. Now, I live in Texas, so there’s a lot of Texas history built into our cities. Some cities have towns…I’m sorry, have roads that are named from this destination to this destination road, which I’m like, “Just use some imagination, let’s have some better names here.”

So, find out the history of your town, talk about the historical districts, where the oldest homes are. Maybe the homes in those districts are zones so that they can only be painted or styled in a certain way. So talk about the history of your town, teach people what it’s like to live in your area. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, there will be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

For Sale By Odor

July 28, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Okay, everybody, Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and today’s idea, wow what a stinker ha.

Today’s “Realty Idea of the Day” is for sale by odor. Let’s talk about when you’re selling a home and it smells really bad, how we counsel our sellers to remedy that. Let’s talk about how carpets and any fabrics in the home hold the smoke smell. Let’s talk about how carpets and flooring hold pet odors from, you know, pet urine and problems that the pets have had in the house.

Let’s talk about when they change their carpets and their flooring, that they need to seal the subfloor with a paint or something to keep the odors that have gone into the concrete or the wood sealed away. Let’s talk about the fact that people go, as the commercials say, they go nose-blind. They don’t smell it. They don’t think their house smells like an ashtray. They don’t think their house smells like 15 cats.

We have to be honest with people and talk about for sale by owner houses, and how that’s just not going to happen and it’s not going to be really good for them.

So anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Please don’t put like 17 Glad things on the wall and try to cover it up because we just see all the air fresheners, and we know better, and we can still smell it.

For sale by owner. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another “Realty Idea of the Day” posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
