December 2012 

Welcome to our newsletter for December 2012!   

 

Most people are familiar with the skating rink at City Hall, but it's not the only rink in the city - check out the piece below on what's happening at the Evergreen Brickworks.

Mark Cullen says that an increasing number of people are using fresh greens to spruce up their decor, scroll down for details about what's available this season and how you can use it. You'll also find articles on a new store at the island airport and why variable rate mortgages are still the cheapest option.

 

Marina and Mark

Mark Cullen: How green is my Christmas? Very!

     

People often ask me if I miss the retail business since I sold Weall and Cullen to Sheridan Nurseries nine years ago. My reply usually is that I miss the Christmas season more than anything.

When customers come in this time of year, they are on a mission: they have carved some time out of their busy schedule to find that special something to make their house look better, or to pick up a gift for a special someone.

The Island Airport gets a slick-looking travel store

    

 

 

The product of a collaboration between between Montreal's WANT Les Essentiels De La Vie and New York's Maison Kitsune, this design shop offers a bevy of slick and, in some cases, downright luxurious items targeted at the discerning traveller with a little pre-flight time to kill. Buying stuff here might not make you a shoe-in for the mile high club, but it'll ensure that you look the part.

For the cheapest mortgage, go variable

 

The smart money's long infatuation with the variable-rate mortgage has ended, perhaps a little hastily.

 

A lot of homeowners have saved a ton of money with variable-rate mortgages, where your borrowing cost floats with your lender's prime lending rate.
