There are coincidences and than there are those coincidences which are just too unbelievable to be coincidental…....take for instance the article below from the blog "Plainfield Today" regarding the new Senior Citizen project in Plainfield, the construction is being managed by the Union County Improvement Authority.
The Needler in the Haystack provided a photo of the billboard erected at the project bearing the logo of Century 21 Atlantic Realtors Inc. rather inconspicuously in the lower right hand corner.
The Needler also provided another piece of information in his rather inconspicuous note:
(An aside: While sorting through some business cards recently, I found I had picked up one of C21 Atlantic's agent's cards somewhere in my travels. It was the card of Sebastian D'Elia, sales associate. Who also happens to be Union County's public information officer)
It is certainly no secret that Sebastian D’Elia is in the county’s employ as the Public Information Officer/Spokesperson, but what may not be on the top of the average person’s need to know list is that Mr. D’Elia is also listed as a member of the Union County Improvement Authority, see above 6/6/07 minutes of the UCIA. See http://www.unioncountywatchdog.org/
Checking the State of NJ website to find out if Mr. D’Elia was still a licensed real estate sales person, presented a bit of a mystery:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….that is odd isn’t it?
Who the heck is County Wide Realty Inc.???
But, wait a minute…notice below the address of Century 21 Atlantic Realty taken from the NJ Multiple Listing agency roster:

Perhaps both the companies just coincidentally have suites in the same office building, that could happen, couldn’t it????
