I really thought elmore's sale was going through this time. Has the city actually made an offer on the property?

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.


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

Nice.

I previously had played Charlie Brown in You're a Goid Man, Charlie Brown, back in the early aughts.

I did play Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha, but that's the second male lead.

DR John G., are they really letting you fulfil your jury duty responsibilities via Zoom?

I think I’ve got it. I used to make a Kentucky derby pie with pecans and chocolate chips all soaked in bourbon before baking. I could soak the cherries in the bourbon and add. Maybe a few dashes of chocolate and cherry bitters.

The first day, yes. If I get picked for a panel, I have to show up the second day in person.

I was wondering how that worked.

I just saw a recipe for "triple-chocolate" peanut butter cookies. They use peanut butter, peanut powder, and chopped peanut brittle. And then once baked, the bottoms are coated in chocolate.

Congrats to DR George!

Does this mean we might be watching next year's Tonys extra carefully?

We think the City wants it for nothing, so we'll try to force them to buy it.

The Firm was so bad, I not only threw the book across the room but I also threw it away. I didn’t want anyone else to read it.
