Today I am shining the spotlight on this very affordable Grand Rapids MN lake home on Little Split Hand Lake. Priced at $89,900, this little cabin (with a nice sized garage) would make a great weekend retreat for those on a budget. At this price point – the lakeshore is not what you would consider “prime” (and you will have to get used to the outdoor privy) – but you should be able to picture yourself kicking back and enjoying this little gem. To view all Grand Rapids lake property – be sure to visit LakePlace.com…and if it is hunting land you are looking for, our sister site – LandBin.com features virtually all Grand Rapids land for sale on the market.

When I contacted our host – it was made clear that not upgrading was not an option. So I went ahead and did it….and….it didn’t break!! I have been dealing with a lot of blog issues recently and did not need another one…so Im happy it worked out! All issues were fixed with the upgrade (and a couple of extra steps were taken to make sure it does not happen again).

Anyway – you do not stop here to read about blogging software – so I will send you to our Wisconsin & Minnesota lake homes page and/or our Wisconsin & Minnesota land for sale page. Have a great day and make sure you listed to that embedded broadcast in the post below this one!

The second website is Lake Superior Resort. While there are not a ton of resorts on Lake Superior (less than in Hayward, anyway) – we have been sitting on the domain name for quite some time and thought we might as well get this website up and running for future use. It can take some times for the directories to find a site – so the longer it is online the better

Both of these sites are built on the wordpress platform – the same content management software we use to run the Pine Needle Lawn.

If you are interested in advertising on either of these sites – or you have something else in mind  – please feel free to contact us.

So it has been just over one year since we launched LandBin.com – which is much like LakePlace.com, but instead of featuring lake real estate – the site features land for sale. We already had most of the architecture ready to go, so offering a site featuring land was kind of a no brainer. Again, only about a year after launch and LandBin.com is showing up very well in the search engine rankings for Minnesota land for sale & Wisconsin land for sale – but it is doing even better for what is known as the long tail. Just think of a little town somewhere in MN or WI – and search for that with “land for sale” afterwords and you may be surprised to see LandBin.com doing pretty well across the board.

Im going to make a prediction – I believe that LandBin.com will actually get more traffic than LakePlace.com within the next three years. You can still find some very inexpensive deals on land – which makes it a larger market because more people can afford to buy in…thus the prediction. We have some pretty good competition in the land arena – there is a company that has raised about $12 million – so it is going to be a lot of fun competing for the top spots for our important search terms and phrases.

See ‘ya at the top!

Top of the line stuff..as of today.

We also upgraded our database software to the latest and greatest…so if you run into any bugs or issues, PLEASE let us know about it at d-a-v-e-g-@-l-a-k-e-p-l-a-c-e-.-c-o-m (obviously, remove the “-”).

Cheers!

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.

One week later, The Pioneer Press, a local newspaper in Minnesota, reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Embarass , Minnesota , Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Minnesota had already gone wireless.
