Fred Burton Makes The List of Bisnow “Best Quotes of 2019”

“If I wanted to figure out why or what you're working on … I don't have to hack into your system. I just have to have someone work next to you who knows what you're doing. It is just that simple sometimes. It is basic agent 101.” — Stratfor Chief Security Officer Fred Burton on the security risks of coworking, to Atlanta reporter Jarred Schenke. 

The Best Quotes Of 2019

We at Bisnow talk to smart people every day. But now and again, our sources say something extra special - something that makes us rethink something we thought we knew, knocks us back a bit or makes us laugh.

A Visit to Sheriff Walt Longmire's Cabin

Any fan of the Netflix hit series Longmire should see the Sheriff’s cabin located inside the Valles Caldera National Preserve in the Jemez Mountains about 90 minutes from Santa Fe, New Mexico. The area has elk, coyotes, mountain lions, black bears, eagles and prairie dogs. The cabin is about two miles inside the park along a rough gravel road (backcountry permit needed) and the U.S. Park Service Rangers were awesome. They showed me game camera footage of a huge mountain lion. Interior scenes from the first two to three years of the series were filmed inside the cabin and the view from Walt’s porch is simply stunning.
