DR Elmore’s news is extremely distressing.

So what type of use does the city WANT and WILL APPROVE for that property? In the case of commercial properties, wouldn’t such information be useful for targeting appropriate buyers? Seems like high time for a face to face meeting with the zoning department or whatever/whoever is in charge.

It's impossible to even summon words for the shootings and the attitudes surrounding those and so much else in the country.

Douglas Stuart wrote the wonderful Shuggie Bain. He’s got a new book out called Young Mungo. It’s a difficult read. I’m not sure if the really depressing parts are worth it. I’m more than halfway through, so I will likely finish, but it’s sad. And all too realistic.

Yesterday’s news from one Chicago suburb broke while Rob, Charlotte, and the other grandparents were attending a parade in another Chicago suburb.  I was very glad when they came home safe.

DR Elmore, I hope you get some satisfactory answers.  Middletown city government is a mess at the moment.

Well, I am now informed. I just spoke to our realtor,

The buyers want the property and they are willing up to a point to accept the city's stipulations, which are a retaining wall and a retaining pond to deal with the ecology and the creek at the back of the mutual properties.

The drawback: the costs and how much of our land will be eaten away in this construction. If it eats away an acre of our three and costs them $60-80,000, they can't take it.

In short, we will know nothing more for at least two weeks when our buyers and the city have a meeting. And so, I have two weeks to dig myself further into  debt, at which time we may lose the sale.
