Real Estate

The parallels from State College = Football with D.C. = Politics are amusing to me.  For example, people here play drinking games at the bars to go along with political debates/events shown on TV.  I was never business-minded enough to capitalize on my prime location (downtown, near the stadium) and rent out my apartment at PSU for big football games.  However, I would have to be crazy not to at least 'consider' taking advantage of my new locale during Inauguration week here in January.  It looks like people are renting out rooms, and their entire houses, for thousands of dollars.  Thousands!  Just check the going rates on Craigslist or eBay.
