Sitecon Concrete Construction, Inc. goes Online

Sitecon Concrete Construction, Inc. (www.SiteconInc.com) has been serving local government and small business for years, so they recently took the step to help potential clients better understand their impressive capabilities in the concrete construction by launching their new Web Site, www.SiteconInc.com.

Michael Nolen, principle of Sitecon, Inc., said that it was important to him that his potential clients could check him out online during the proposal phase. “I want people to see the projects that we’ve done, because when you look at them, you can see what we’re capable of – which is a lot!” And it’s true, when you see both the intricacy and the scale of the jobs Sitecon is achieving excellent ratings on, you get the idea that this company can get the job done, on time, and on budget.

We congratulate Michael and Sitecon Concrete Construction, Inc. for taking the step to get online, and we’re sure their new presence will help people understand just how good they are.

There’s A Lot Going On at the Garboushian

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

Amidst the tumble of art galleries in Los Angeles, one gem is making its name, rising to the top.  Currently featuring Claudio Parducci with new exhibitions along the way, the Garboushian Gallery in Beverly Wilshire is making a name for itself as the place to be in Modern Art.

There's a lot going on at the Garboushian Gallery

More Than Or Equal To Half Of the Whole

Claudia Parducci’s EMERGENCY, Keep on fridge exhibition was an amusing and slightly dark poke at the paranoid undercurrents that have become a necessity in our society.  Showcasing her creative nature through many media, Parducci’s most recent collection is a joy to take in.  But Parducci’s exhibition has to leave before its time, as the Garboushian Gallery now has a couple of newcomers to make space for.

Kate Johnson’s photographic exploration into the finite infinity in her part of Garboushian’s coming exhibition, More Than Or Equal To Half Of The Whole, takes the photographic medium through a confounding journey of everything and that being nothing.  On the other hand, working with truly infinite spaces, Siri Kaur’s exploration through the cosmos, real and unreal makes an excellent counterpoint, reassuring our non-importance in the grander scheme while playing on the pertinence of  our limited perception of reality.  The Johnson-Kaur joint exhibition is scheduled to begin on January 15th and run through February 12th.

Also on the event horizon at the Garboushian is a large place at the Los Angeles Art Show at the LA Convention Center starting January 19th.  So there’s a lot going on at the Garboushian, and if you’re an art lover, you’d mistake to miss.

Enjoy Claudia Parducci’s EMERGENCY, Keep on fridge on now at the Garboushian through January 12th.  It’s an exhibition you must (as always) experience in person, so have a look while you still can.  Then swing by Beverly Wilshire later in the month to see Kate Johnson and Siri Kaur’s the juxtaposition of More Than Or Equal To Half Of The Whole – two completely different perceptions of opposite realities explored through the same medium.  And don’t forget to stop in to the Garboushian booth at the 2011 Los Angeles Art Show!

Peters Realty Center Hosts Two Extremely Valuable Seminars For Real Estate Investors

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Nick Peters and the Peters Realty Center are offering 2 extremely valuable seminars in early March.  They are already famous for their “Foreclosures and Short Sales” seminar which always packs the house.  Now they have added “Income Property – Buying, Owning and Exchanging” and it’s sure to fill up quick as well.

Nick Peters and Peters Realty Center

Peters Realty Center offers two Great Seminars to Real Estate and Property Investors

Nick Peters is a local expert on Foreclosures and Short Sales, having worked with them for over twenty years and lived as a proactive resident in Torrance, CA for much longer.  In the past few years, he’s also been compiling a comprehensive, reliable list of all foreclosures and short sales in the area – completely different than everybody else’s list in that it’s actually up-to-date and reliable – by far the best list in the industry.  You can find out more about this list by talking to the great people at the Peters Realty Center in Redondo Beach, CA.

With over 30 years of being involved with and investing in Income Properties all over the United States, Nick has seen it all.  His new seminar “Income Property – Buying, Owning & Exchanging” will certainly be packed with information and the details Nick is known for – tidbits that other people just don’t know because they haven’t been in the thick of it like he has.

Members of WSmad have been to the “Foreclosures and Short Sales” presentation more than once, and every time it yielded fascinating information about the economy and investing in real estate.  We highly anticipate this new addition to Nick repertoire, and vigorously encourage anyone interested in Real Property investing to make their way to these seminars in Redondo Beach, California.

The Bitter Chef brings food and fun to Long Beach, CA

Chef Lord has created more than a few successful restaurants, and his latest creation brings the right kind of American Classic infused with modern Italian to really give Long Beach something fresh to eat.  And it’s GOOD.  He could probably charge twice as much for the dishes he’s perfected here, but he chooses to make the prices friendly to the economy because he has a big heart.  Yeah, right.  He just wants you in there eating his food regularly!

Join his mailing list so you can be notified of deals especially for your birthday or because or for that rare moment when he’s in a good mood.  We know Andrew, so we can jest about his sarcastic sense of humor – and a sense of humor is required for dining at The Bitter Chef, not just because the food is ridiculously good.  The atmosphere is all about good fun, and Yelpers are already proclaiming their affection for this new Long Beach gem of a diner.

Check out The Bitter Chef and his new Web Site, www.TheBitterChef.com today and head on down to LBC tonight for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner you won’t forget soon, but your pocketbook will.

Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park addresses Neighbors’ Concerns

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park, a race track pending development in Lancaster, California has been recommended for project approval by the County Planning Commission staff after carefully reviewing the plans and the draft environmental impact report.

The New Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park Web Site

The great majority of concerns appear unfounded.  There is a beautiful poppy preserve near the track where people enjoy seeing the flowers and meditating, and of course, the natural concern is that the noise of the race cars will disrupt people’s enjoyment of the preserve.  Fortunately, the bluff shields most of the noise – and even with the most powerful race cars at full song, the sound they make is barely audible if there is no breeze.  If there’s ANY kind of wind (which is typical there), it would be unlikely to hear the cars at all.

And of course, the track will handle small events only, so there will be no congestion.

Since this is the case, plans are moving to push the track project forward, to provide jobs to the area, and to create a great motorsports venue.

To learn more facts and news about the project, see a track map, and get an idea about the project, check out www.FairmontButteMotorsportsPark.com.

On the site, there are downloadable PDF’s explaining both sides of the argument, and explaining the reality of the situation.

Scuderia Toro Rosso gets “The Man That Wrote the Books”

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Last week, Red Bull Formula One Junior Team Scuderia Toro Rossa ordered up a few sets of race car engineering books from www.CarrollSmith.com – WSmad’s oldest client.

After talking with Carroll Smith Consulting, Inc, we found out that it’s only slightly out of ordinary!  One of the winning Formula One teams finds value in Carroll Smith’s abundant knowledge, even a few years after the Great man’s passing.  It’s no wonder, right up until cancer took Carroll from us, he was negotiating with Scuderia Ferrari to teach them a thing or two about race car engineering.

Scuderia Toro Rosso has received their books, shipped all the way to Italy, and we’re glad we got to be a part of Holiday Joy halfway around the World.  Again.

Order up your own set of Carroll Smith’s books from www.CarrollSmith.com.
