Yeah it's basically the same thing. I have used both with similar experiences with both. Not all of the places are dual listed so you may have to look into both if you don't see something you like. We had a bachelor party at a cabin outside of 7 Springs that was great. We found the listing on VRBO but ended up going thru the local rental company itself and saved a nice but if money because the local company didn't charge the booking fees like VRBO would have.

She was the board president when the contracts were awarded then she conveniently stepped away while everything was physically being built and the bills were piling up. She often says that she wasn’t president during the time the deficit was created which is technically true but she was in charge of setting the wheels in motion.

From what I remember the architect was a friend of hers and had no previous experience with a project of this type. The architect was also a major reason the project went so over budget….. using imported tiles from Italy are one thing I remember, another was some type of crystal chandelier.

It’s been a few years since I really dug into it so I don’t want to misspeak on any facts but be sure, I am not one with a favorable opinion of Mrs. Vecchio.

There’s clearly not a stat on black fatherhood that is going to force your head out of the sand. Not gonna keep kicking at a moving goal post.

Gonna skip ahead to your last paragraph, because oh boy, you have swallowed the race-reductionist, anti-labor, New Deal revisionism whole-heatedly, haven’t you? Don’t know what to tell you if you don’t think the CIO and the New Deal was beneficial for black wealth and planted the seeds for the Civil Rights movement. You might want to type A. Phillip Randolph into the old search engine as a good starting point.
