Charlie Hicks-Moore's newsletter and ezine favorites!
Welcome to ValueFair.blogspot.com!
When I was a kid in Encinitas [technically Leucadia] there was a store called Value Fair which I'm pretty sure was right next to a Vons in Cardiff-By-The-Sea, California. I still remember getting black spray paint for the sailboat I was making in woodshop at Oak Crest Junior High.
Value Fair was just across the railroad tracks and Highway 101 from the beckoning Pacific Ocean. Compared to that natural beauty I'm sure that many people wouldn't even have noticed it unless they really needed something there. As far as I know, people got truly fair value at Value Fair. I remember buying a 45 [record - not a gun!] for my older brother's birthday there. I'm pretty sure it was a "kid" record like The Theme From The Jungle Book [Bear Necessities?] and my teenage brother gave it right back to me after I presented it to him proudly. Like my lost innocence, Value Fair is no longer there. I don't think the company exists any more.
Lots of flashy and exotic and even trashy stuff gets a lot of attention these days. I think more and more people are noticing value on the internet. Not always at first glance, mind you, but sometimes after they have been burned by the flashy or the trashy or the exotic or the majestic.
My goal is to provide value to readers who want to learn more about an assortment of subjects including career enhancement, personal development, how to run a business effectively, creating income, website development or even hobbies. I'll recommend newsletters/ezines that I and others publish. I may even learn to be concise in how I say things. Don't necessarily count on that last part. ;-)
