    Jarrod, take a look at theeastnashvillian.com and download the pdf of tthe magazine and my business card is on the inside of the back cover…I’m trying to get an article published soon….this mag has a distribution of 5,000….tell me what you think about it. maybe I should add a pic as was suggested….

    Ultimately, I plan to move up to the larger mags….I’m just trying in the east nashvillian  to see what happens…so far, nothing has resulted.

    The first year I started working for myself I put a half page anouncement in the playbill for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center with a circulation of about 40,000 of Nashville’s high rollers. This was about a $4,000.00 ad. Guess how many calls from that?…….if you guessed zero you are correct.  Many people told me they saw the ad and that they liked it but these were mostly former clients…no new work….

    “Has your property been injured, or do you know someone who has an injured property?, Dont take it on alone”

     

    Maybe someday I’ll have an ad on the back cover of a Yellow Pages book!

    Until you pass the bar though, you’d just be a Landscape Desawyer.  (⊙.☉)

    You want a plan?
    *I think I’m entitled.*
    You want a concept?*
    *I want a design!*
    You can’t handle the design!

    Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be designed by men with autocad. Who’s gonna do it? You?

    Thanks Henry, very kind of you to look and your comment is most appreciated….

    The South is a very beautiful and “different”  place, not nearly as one dimensional as some feel and portray….. I love NYC…nothing like it!!! Would  liked to  have lived there as a young man.

    The pace there would stress me beyond capacity…I do love visiting….and I would miss my momma’s cornbread…..

    I really like it! And I think that is such a nice classy publication for it. Very fitting. I like your website too and your portfolio. Very nice! I like it not only because it will (hopefully) get you more business but because it is advertising landscape architecture!

    Speaking of New York…that is on my list…every time I see Central Park in a movie or picture I remind Jon that we HAVE to go to New York. I am probably the least traveled LA grad. in the world. 😛
