Dog wash amenity to augment your bark park

Specifications

From the “how cool” department – by now you are aware of the need for a dog park on your site, but what about a dog wash? I lived in Seattle a number of years ago with @sbrewer10, who had two beautiful yellow labs and we would occasionally take them to a massive public dog park near the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Afterward, we would take them to a local DIY dog wash and I remember thinking at at the time that it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. That, in spite of the fact that I am not a pet lover. Check out the link below, I could see this being a remarkable amenity on one of your sites.

Cool move in gift for apartment or condo owners

For all the DIY’s (do it yourself) out there. Wouldn’t it be cool to give a gift like this wine rack to a resident before they move in? With wine becoming more and more popular with younger generations it might be a nice touch. Of course, so will the touch of service in the way of providing a technician to handle the install on the wall of their choice. You can pick them up here www.winemastercellars.com

Do you cater to bikers in any way?

Mike Brewer · March 4, 2008 · Add Comment

Biking is becoming more and more popular throughout the US and as such so are their needs. I have seen it in my own community in the way of bikes chained to fences, street sign posts and in our interior lobby areas.

It has me thinking about how we should cater to them so as to attract more of them.

I think bike racks are obvious and even storage outside of their apartment.

What are some your thoughts?
