Conference on the Front Porch Oct. 20-21

Posted on Monday, August 15, 2016 by No comments yet

Looks good…

This is the first annual Conference on the Front Porch.  The conference aims to explore the significance of the front porch in the American South, both from an architectural perspective as well as a sociological perspective.  The two day conference will explore the origins of the front porch, its stylistic evolution, when they became popular, the decline in popularity of the front porch, and its resurgence.  The role of the porch in building community, the porch and presidential politics, the porch and music, the porch and race will all be explored in detail.

This two day conference is held at The Mill at Plein Air ““ a 12,000 square foot venue built from entirely reclaimed materials and located in the Plein Air neighborhood in Taylor, MS.  Taylor is a seven minute drive from Oxford and Ole Miss.”

“We are hoping to find a realtor that comes highly recommended and trusted to come to our home for advice on possibly selling it in the future. Wondering what should be done to help sell it and get information on comparable priced homes in the area”.
• Lisa, Hinesburg FPF

“I have never had so many passionate responses – so quickly from Front Porch Forum. Thanks!”

Yestermorrow tuition scholarship turned down… almost!

ym-sign“I am overwhelmed by all of the kind offers for rooms to rent in response to my post here two days ago. Yestermorrow offers an amazing education, but with a housing budget of $500/month, I thought I would have to turn down my tuition scholarship… especially during ski season. Luckily someone directed me to Front Porch Forum, and I’ve had about 20 responses in two days.”

Earlier I posted a “FOR RENT” posting for my step-daughter for her house on the St. Albans City Front Porch Forum.

We were inundated with requests.

She has rented it and I appreciate all those who responded to my posting.  Thanks.

Making life easier

Posted on Saturday, April 13, 2013 by No comments yet

#BTV #VT – Just want to give a big thanks to the Front Porch Forum. After less than a week after we posted our investment property for sale on here we are under contract… and we hadn’t even formally listed it yet!!

Over the years we have found all our tenants through you. We leave this part of our lives with a big thanks for all the wonderful people you’ve helped us meet, and for how much easier you’ve made our lives.
