Distressed homeowners in 11 states, including Illinois, may avoid foreclosure due to a settlement reached between Bank of America, which recently acquired Countrywide Financial Corp., and the attorneys general of those states, including Lisa Madigan of Illinois.
Everyone knows that current American economy is under a very bad situation. There are a lot of economists, politicians, financial advisors and bloggers talking about how the Wall Stree finance crisis will hit our main street. The truth is the failure of Wall Street has already hit our main street. You would never believe that Lehman Brothers, AIG, WaMu and Merill Lynch will fall down some years ag
Do These Guys Really Feel Our Pain?As a follow-up to the bank bailout resolution for this crisis that may be passed this week, I just wanted to touch on a phrase that is used incessantly by the politicians as they run to the microphones in order to get their piece of face time for the constituents back home.The phrase that pays is that this bill will not just be good for Wall Street, but will be g

What is occurring right now is reminiscent of what occurred after the subprime worries of February of 2007 dissipated for a few months. During this time, a few high profile companies such as New Century Financial started showing problems in their subprime portfolios and caused the DOW to drop 415 points.

Since the city has finished up the South of Main Sewer project in Eastmoor, I’ve been driving by this soon-to-be auto parts store (and one-time site of Columbus’ last Skyline Chili) almost every day and wondering why in the world it’s OK to build the equivalent of a giant pole barn on East Main Street in [...]
A while back, Columbus Compact had announced that Save A Lot, the country’s 5th largest supermarket, was coming to Main Street. Then, about a year ago, they announced they were not coming to Main Street. In part, that decision was made because Wal Mart opened up in Whitehall on Main Street. Well, it appears Save [...]

On Saturday, I finished Main Street, by Sinclair Lewis. I chose to read Main Street because I was so fond of Babbit and knew that, even if the story was not colorful, the fecundity and acumen of Sinclair Lewis would ensure easy reading. Main Street was written in 1920 and was a portrayal of an [...]

Today’s lead story in the WSJ How Credit-Card Data Went Out the Wireless Door is as much about what not to do when a company is caught in the crosshairs of a crisis as the JetBlue story is an example of the right thing to do.
From a crisis PR perspective, TJX appears to have worked hard to turn themselves from victim to villain, making three classic communications errors:
They waited too long. TJX waited for engineers to be satisfied that they understood the depth of the problem, resulting in at least a 60-day delay of action (resulting in investigations by 30 state attorneys general.)
They put lawyers in charge of communications. Lawyers play a critical role in crises, but directing communications should not be one of them. When TJX made their long awaited announcement and subsequent apology, their apology was not written with their customers–the real victims in this situation–in mind, but instead read like a letter written
I had to do this post over because I lost it trying to fix something. I felt it important to change it a little for those of you who may have notice a difference. I went for a drive today to downtown Hyannis it is about 8 miles from West Yarmouth where I live. I brought my camera with me because I wanted to take some pictures of some of the places most people visit when they come here. The 1st one is the entrance to what is called walkway to the sea it is quite nice in the spring and summer when they have concerts or just for a nice walk to the Hyannis harbor. The 2nd is the exit or the other end just before you get to the harbor it has a great view. The 3rd is the JFK museum it has alot to see when you go inside for those who can remember it will bring back many memories. The bottom one is a pub and really good place to eat or just relax it is just across the street. I am sure you will find all the shops and the whole area very interesting and fun place to visit. I have set up a l
When Main Street was published in 1920 it struck a chord with everyday Americans in a way that few books had done up to that time. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies and was soon to be found in small town homes all across the country because so many people were able to identify with Main Street's main character, Carol Kennicott. Through the eyes of Carol Kennicott, some readers saw their own "main streets" in a way that they had not considered them before. For the first time they noticed just how smugly narrow minded and intolerant were the societies in which they lived. Others, who had already recognized the limitations imposed upon them by their small town leadership, saw Main Street as confirmation that they were not alone in wishing for more from life than what was on offer to them in small town America.Ultimately, of course, Carol Kennicott resigns herself to living in the small Minnesota community that she once fought so desperately to change. Two years after moving to
