Not too long ago, the rise of “geek chic” surprised a few and elated many. Now, being called a “geek” can be considered the new “cool,” and in a city like Manhattan, that likes to be on the cutting edge of cool – it’s never been a better time to be a tech-savvy individual. No, I’m not talking about someone who knows how to use their smart phones to tweet or can program their GPS without having to bang it against the dashboard like I so often have to do before a long drive. I’m talking about the truly well-versed in technology. According to Marketplace, a recent study named New York City…

Wauconda is 25 minutes from the Canadian border and sits on Highway 20. The new owners, Maddie and Neal Love, got: a restaurant, store, gas station, a four-bedroom house and a zip code after a month long bidding war. Interestingly, the town is also known to host a couple of ghosts, including the spirit of a young Indian fighter. The Loves are both unemployed and are selling their home and all their possessions to buy the town and move there. The deal is expected…
