I bought an Apartment building and you know what it didnt have? A gate in the back of the building preventing unwanted people from coming into the building. I called up my local Locksmith. He came out that day, gave me a free estimate. It was a very reasonable price. He and his technician installed my gate with a very secure lock on it the following day. Now my tenants and I can sleep in peace. Thanks Locksmith for a job well done!!!!

Went to Anna's for the first time, and had my very first falafel wrap. It was absolutely delicious, and so chock-full that I only ate half of it. The wrap comes complete with hummus, red cabbage and mixed spicy(ish) peppers, and is then ever-so-gently put in the panini grill. You can get the wrap by itself, or the combo, which comes with your choice of salad, lentils, and even more hummus, for $7.49. Friendly owners/staff, a nice area to dine in, and speedy service for takeout. Will definitely be going back!

I tried calling our receptionist to see if she could come back but she didnt answer. I called my boss and asked what to do. i wouldnt be needing my keys to drive home and get into my house. He said to call the security office and if not then a locksmith and he would pay over the phone. So i did and the locksmith arrived under 20 minutes. He walked in with me and seemed like a nice young boy. He opened the office without any trouble and was on his way. I thought i would be there all night dealing with this hassle and it turned out to be painless.

 Bank of America Corp., the third-largest bank in Kansas City with $4.28 billion in local deposits, plans to nearly double the ranks of its financial advisers to more than 1,000 by year end.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank (NYSE: BAC) says the advisers will cater to its preferred customers, or those with investable assets of $50,000 to $250,000 — the fastest-growing segment in the financial services industry. BofA counts 8 million such customers.
“Preferred customers have a complex set of needs and concerns that go beyond what the standard retail bank can offer, but they don’t typically require a full-service financial adviser or a private banker,” said Dean Athanasia, preferred and small business banking executive at...
