A bedroom or not a bedroom? That is the question. It seems this issue is one that real estate agents are constantly explaining to home buyers. Often because listings have bedroom counts that appear to be wrong. What are the rules? What makes a room a bedroom?

Let’s say you find a property online and decide to go see it at an Open House. You walk in and meet the Listing Agent who shows you the home and you decide to write an offer. In Virginia, the listing agent can represent you as a dual agent. What does that mean for you?

It’s been a very long time since I spent my Sunday evenings tending bar at the Dupont Circle institution and neighborhood dive bar known as Mr. Eagan’s. In fact, it was on a St. Patrick’s Day many years ago that Jimmy Eagan closed his Irish Pub and left town. Cafe Citron now stands where Mr. Eagan’s stood for 32 years ending with Mr. Eagan’s Last Call at 1:30am, March 18, 1999. That was also the day I retired from bar tending.

Every time I eat at Wild Tomato I have a blast. I’m not sure if it’s the food, the drinks or the atmosphere, but my friends and I always leave happy and we immediately talk about going back again.

When my family decided to go to Baltimore for the day, I knew I wanted to check out Cafe Hon, which was recently featured on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmare. While the cleanliness of the restuarant and freshness of the food were never in question, it was a controversy over a trademark of the word “Hon” that was having a negative impact on the restaurant. I really wanted to check it out.
