Investing in the Metaverse Real Estate Boom There’s a land rush happening — and it’s not in New York City or Beverly Hills. Early speculators, professional real estate agents, and celebrities are buying up land that doesn’t even exist in the real world. They are investing in metaverse real estate, a concept mind-boggling to most people. So, what exactly is the metaverse? Technologists say the metaverse is the next level of the internet. It’s a virtual reality platform where people can play games, connect with friends, attend meetings, and even go to virtual concerts. But h ow much does it cost virtual land buyers? |

Upper East Side vs Upper West Side Which do you prefer? ( ; |
|
|
The UES and UWS are two of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods. They are among the city’s wealthiest and most sought-after areas and contain some of the world’s most iconic real estate. There is often a debate among New Yorkers as to which area is better. Here is an inside look at the differences between the areas. [The views & opinions in this article are those of the authors & do not necessarily reflect my view] I Love Them Both! |
|
The Upper East Side The East Side is bigger and more spread out yet doesn’t extend as far. Retirees and those looking for a second residence may prefer the East Side. Families will be happy in either neighborhood, as there are plenty of great schools and amenities in both areas. Both neighborhoods offer a plethora of attractions and have their own individual merits. |
|
|
The Upper West Side The West Side is more accessible, but available real estate is a bit scarcer. Young people are probably better off on the West Side. Families will be happy in either neighborhood, as there are plenty of great schools and amenities in both areas. Both neighborhoods offer a plethora of attractions and have their own individual merits. |

Best Hindi/Bollywood Movies for 1st Timers Hindi cinema is a commercialized culmination of a rich tradition of storytelling in ethnic India whereby performers would include music, dance, colorful costumes, and drama in their bits to attract audiences across rural India. The movies are driven by script, plot, characters, and content plays a very crucial role. I've seen Maqbool(pic) which was riveting + others and looking forward to watching more. Check out a small sample HERE. |

The 10 Worst All-time Movie Endings Great stories need great conclusions. The final few minutes of a movie greatly determine whether audiences will leave in high spirits and recommend it to others or rue the hours of their lives they just wasted. Sadly, some movies with really good stories have been ruined by bad endings and spoiled their own chances of being considered masterpieces. I've actually seen 6/10 on the list. Click HERE for the 10. |

Heading into March of 2020 I held tickets to 9 concerts for the 1st half of the year - of course, all were canceled. All 9 were rescheduled for 2021 and...guess what, deja vu all over again! I did attend 5 amazing shows in 2021, so, it wasn't a total bust. So far, I have tickets to 14 concerts in 2022 (2 down so far). I cannot wait!I'd LOVE to know, which concerts are you planning to attend? #SupportLiveMusic |
