Acker Music Festival

The Acker Music Festival is an Annual Prescott Event!

Friday, 12-7 from 5:30 to 8:30PM

All the businesses in the downtown area stay open and have entertainment inside. Some places have a single person with a guitar singing Christmas Carols, there are praise bands, vocal groups, and last year I heard a rumor about someone having belly dancers. Whatever!

I’m playing with Greg and the Gringos (6 of us doing mostly uppity Christmas songs) and we are here at the ERA office, 222 W. Gurley St. ERA will provide hot apple cider, coffee, and homemade cookies and goodies. The idea is to come see the downtown area all full of people, the Courthouse is lit up and it’s pretty fun. Walk around and say hello, we are very folksy!

If I don’t see you there please have a fabulous Christmas Holiday and live it right up!

Kirkland Bar and Steakhouse November 7-12 Live Music.

Yee haw!
Below is a daytime photo of the Kirkland Bar and Steakhouse, 26 miles west of Prescott on Iron Springs Rd. The bad news is it’s off the market so those of you with $6 million burning a hole in your pocket will have to look elsewhere. Damn!

The good news is they still have live music Friday and Saturday 7-12 and I am lucky enough to sit-in with the Gila River Trio on bass this weekend Nov 2 and 3. They serve dinner also and it’s very good and the service is extremely slow and the prices are very expensive (the same people who want 6 million for the place made up the prices for the dinner menu, steak and shrimp is $25, eeek!)

There is a big dance floor, the historic building is pretty cool with sawdust on the floor (talk about ahm-bee-yawnce) and in case you are 40 minutes west of Prescott this weekend by all means stop in and say hello.

Craig Live August 3-4!

Time for another Hoe Down at the Kirkland Hotel, Bar, and Steakhouse this weekend Aug 3 and 4 and Mr. Bald guy is sitting-in on bass with the Gila River Trio. For those of you who haven’t been there, here is the deal-

It’s a country type place- red checkerboard table cloths, sawdust on the floor, and the food really is fabulous. The service is famously slow however, as in 45 minutes later on a good night. Plan ahead. Steak and Shrimp is “TO DIE FOR” good.

It’s a historic building but not what I would call in pristine condition. They have a few rooms for rent, and there are usually some local ranchers in the bar or out for dinner with the family.

The band is a trio (guitar, bass, and drums) and we do lots of cool stuff Country, Clapton, oldies, James Taylor, etc. There is a big dance floor so bring your honey and come on down if you are in the area. We play from 7 to Midnight, yes that’s 5 hours. It’s 26 miles from Prescott , go West on Iron Springs Rd through Skull Valley .

The place was (probably still is for the right price) for sale for a paltry 5.9M (let me check my change). See below for the link and let me know if you are thinking about buying it and we’ll do some horse trading to get the price back to reality.

Prescott Arizona– Our slogan is “Everybody’s Hometown”

Prescott Arizona– Our slogan is “Everybody’s Hometown” and we’ve made national news again. This time it’s Inc Magazine and they rank Prescott, Az as the #3 CITY IN THE NATION for job growth and business opportunity! Wow, not bad. For years we were a quiet little mountain town 90 minutes NW of Phoenix where people went to beat the heat. Now the word is out and the entire Prescott area is definitely on the map with a strong promise for success.
It’s not a big surprise to the locals actually, we have lots of reasons people love to live here and they are a recipe for your next hometown. How about perfect weather? OK, let’s call it 4 mild seasons, surrounded on 3 sides by Nat’l Forest. Add a quaint downtown area with history, restaurants, shops, and a courthouse square with a wonderful event every weekend of the summer. There’s the World’s Oldest Rodeo in July, malls with upscale anchor stores, car dealers, hiking trails, a few small lakes, an In-N-Out burger, clean mile-high air, golf courses, famous quality motorcycle roads, and plenty of exciting things to suit your every fancy.
On a milder note we have some very quiet and peaceful places to park your life. Real Estate in our area covers a wide range of terrain and amenities. Houses in the tall pines are popular as well as Historic Register homes with a “walk to town” clause. There is a growing passion for ‘horse properties” and 1 to 5 acre ranches are within 20 minutes drive of downtown. Lots and open land available close to town or out in God’s country. Views are spectacular from all parts of the area as there is no shortage of beauty here. This is a gorgeous place on the planet with a huge promise for the future. Come see for yourself.

Prescott Arizona - Best place to retire

Dear friends and family,

The Sept 17 edition of Money magazine online has an article- Best places to retire in 2006 and 3rd on the list is Prescott , Az. Good news for property owners in this fine area.

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bpretire/2006/
or google Prescott best places to retire 2006

It’s a strong buyer’s market in Prescott (and many places in the US ), inventory of houses is up and buyer’s have the negotiating advantage.

Live it up in any case!

Real Estate Investor Types, Prescott Arizona

Sending this to my investor types, please forward if you know someone in this price range. Thanks.

This house is about 2 miles south of downtown Prescott with a fabulous panoramic view looking down the mountain towards town (and pan west up the mountain including Thumb Butte and Granite Mtn. , almost all an expansive forest). The other good news is that it was listed by another agent about 9 months ago for 649K (I thought this was like 100 grand too greedy). It’s now listed with a different agent and was reduced twice to 529K. As of yesterday the seller has new motivation and dropped the price to 469K. Check the details on the link below. Click on the VT Icon for more photos.
http://ml11.offutt-innovia.com/prs/maildoc/a002b75007.html
The bad news is-
The garage is small, like barely 2 cars wide and not deep either.
Master bedroom is a little small for such a big house, fabulous mstr bath and deck.
Wood power pole is visible looking left from the kitchen. Not a huge deal, you have to walk up to the window to see it from inside.

Good news-
The view is panoramic and stunning
Artsy design, very interesting.
.43 acres nicely landscaped in front, natural in back. Lots of trees
Decks- 1 off the Master and a huge sprawling deck in front of the fishbowl kitchen/dining.
Quiet- near the top of a mountain on a private drive, 2nd house from the end
Big laundry room
Very nice wood and windows throughout

I think this house is now priced so that it will be snapped up by an investor pretty quickly. This is NOT my listing, I got the word from the agent down the hall.
