DR TCB I had forgotten the story of Sammy Davis Jr being told not to do imitations of white people.

My nephew is trimming Audrey II so that she no longer looks as if she is trying to eat my house.

;D That is kind of him.

Randy called just after I came up with the laundry. The sale is dead.  I have no idea what I can do at this point to solve my current financial situation. It's dire.

On a positive note, we have some ideas about the property.

DR John how did the movie end?

Inevitably and tragically. And mystically. The not goddess vanishes into the mist.

If yu move the photo to the right,  you are heading east and you can see the dfriveway to the no-longer-there house and the median between the east and west traffic lanes. If you turn the photo to the left, going west, you can see the second driveway that turned into my dad's storage lot.

What kiboshed the deal is that just east of my dad's property, there is a n ability to turn, only the City of Middletown says that will be for the fire dept and access traffic only. If you want to get to my dad's property, you need to drive east for a mile to Hunter and make a U-turn there.

So . . . at this point, thanks to the City and my brothers' screwing up any potential early sales, our land is now a liability. Randy and I debated paying no more property taxes and letting the City have it. He thinks this is what the City is counting on.

Then he made a comment: I'd like to find some sanitation truck company and lease the land for $1.00 a year and stink up their new fire house, just to piss off the City.

We started riffing on that. What if we could find some offensive company to rent the land from us for, say, $500/month? That would cover the property taxes ad just might piss off the City to buy the land from us at any price we wanted?

It's something to consider.

Oh, man.

So, DR Elmore, that property does NOT extend east to Atrium Blvd., right? The only access to the property is from right in front, on 122. And they won't allow either U-turns, or any turns, at Atrium Blvd in order to head back west and enter the property? And when are they ever going to extend Atrium up to the medical center, which is what it looks like was always intended?

Does the medical center wish to capture that land themselves for eventual expansion?

If you and Randy decided to stop paying the taxes and let the city take it, does that constitute a 2/3 majority on that issue? I do like the idea of forcing their hand in paying you something for it better, though. But all of these things are worth thinking about.

I always thought Alexandre Desplat would have been a good name for a character in an Inspector Clouseau movie.

On a positive note, we have some ideas about the property.

That's great (or at least, encouraging), Larry!!

Atrium is west of my dad's property. The new fire house is the flat land east, just past the old driveway. The only access now to our property is coming west from Hunter to make a right turn onto the property.

I cannot speak for Macbeth, but I think all three of us like the idea of leasing the property to someone the City would never allow to buy it. A lot full of sanitation trucks and port-o-lets or huge diesel trucks might just make them want ot take it off our hands
