Talking To Old Timers and Locals

Old timers is the best source of leads. They are in your area and possess invaluable information that sometimes cannot be found in old books and newspapers. All you have to do is to ask them the right questions and be a good listener. For example, an old timer talks about the church bazaars held for years, and how that property is now scraped off and ready to be sold for a new shopping center. Be always respectful, courteous, and grateful for their kindness.
