News Foreclosures in Georgia rise
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 8:32 PM
What you're looking at above is not a map showing which states had the hottest summers, most incidences of horrendous animal-cruelty cases, or even political leanings. This map, dear reader, is a state-by-state illustration of foreclosure increases in the nation. The redder you are, the more you had. Note Georgia.
According to RealtyTrac.com -- where this map came from -- Georgia is ranked fourth in the nation for foreclosure filings in August 2007, up 133.47 percent since the previous year. One out of every 271 households filed for foreclosure.

It's a good thing I can't find Georgia on a map, or else this story might worry me.

I think Georgia's that huge place at the top labeled "Ontario." Don't know why they do that. Cartographers really are a confusing lot.
all this cartography is making my head hurt, let's please do currency exchanges for a while? http://finance.yahoo.com/currency Thank President Bush & his Saudi Royal Family friends for this one: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/euro-breaks-through-140-first/story.aspx?guid=%7B893BB858%2DAE65%2D48C6%2DAA7A%2DF06DB1D78631%7D&siteid=bnb Viva Free (but not fair?)
