"The place is like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything."~ Ferris Bueller

The home that once served as the set for Ferris’ friend Cameron’s home, in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, is for sale. You can refresh your memory by watching this scene.

The Ben Rose Home in Highland Park, Illinois, was designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid, and constructed in 1953. It is being listed by Sotheby’s for $2.3 million. More images are available here.

No School for 5 Days = $1 Billion Savings for California

Posted by Alex in Money & Finance, Politics on January 10, 2009 at 12:47 am

Students in California are probably cheering Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s plan to save $1 billion to help the state’s big budget deficit by shortening
the school year by five days.

In other news, it costs $200 million a day (!) to run California’s schools!
Let’s give them 10 days off and save $2 billion!
