It was refreshing to see this article posted on Boston.com last week.  While we have been busier than most of the market through this economic crunch, our optimism hasn’t been met with validating statistics and testimony from most of the rest of the market.  The following article talks about how, while we aren’t out of the weeds yet, there is optimism surrounding current market conditions and future speculation.
