The Housing Chronicles Blog cited in most recent Carnival of Real Estate


Out of 40 entries this week, the post "The Future of Housing is Green" has been given the "Samuel Bellamy" award by the HotPads Daily Blog for the 140th Carnival of Real Estate (aka "The Pirate Edition"):

Samuel Bellamy: Patrick Duffy presents The future of new housing is green posted at Housing Chronicles, saying, "With increasing consumer sensitivity towards sustainability and a higher awareness among home builders that energy-efficient homes can boost both absorption rates and profits, building green homes will likely become the most important trend this industry has seen in a generation."

So just who was Samuel Bellamy? From wikipedia:

Though his known career as a pirate captain lasted little more than a year, Bellamy and his crew captured more than 50 ships before his death at age 28. Called "Black Sam" in Cape Cod folklore because he eschewed the fashionable powdered wig in favor of tying back his long black hair with a simple band, Bellamy became known for his mercy and generosity toward those he captured on his raids. This reputation gained him the second nickname of the "Prince of Pirates," and his crew called themselves "Robin Hood's Men."

Sounds about right!

Thanks to HotPads Daily for hosting the blog and recognizing The Housing Chronicles Blog!
