On the Market: A Manor and a Bargain
We can go weeks without some distinctive or interesting homes hitting the market. Then, a few vaguely interesting homes came up yesterday. Today, we have two that are much more intriguing. They are at opposite ends of price scale. One has 4500 sq. feet. The other is well under 2000 sq. feet. There’s also a $500k price difference between the two. You have to start somewhere.

How can you go wrong buying one of the few “Brick Norman Country Manors” in Tacoma. This house is on our dog walking route. It’s a lot of brick. It’s a lot of house. Heath and Gove were the architects. It’s a beautiful neighborhood and this is one of the more distinctive houses on the street. It’s located next to one of the weirdest looking condos in Tacoma, but eh. Condos are hot. Just ignore it. Go for it. It’s not even $800k. It’s a bargain!

At pennies less than $225k it’s a bargain for the North Slope. If $735k is a bit too much and if 4000 square feet is too much, then there’s this house. It’s only 2 bedrooms, but if it’s just the two of you and a dog, how much more room do you need? The photos show what appears to be a relatively clean remodel that emphasizes the original woodwork. It’s just 5 blocks from the above house. Great neighborhood that’s improving all the time. Anybody?

Opt in, please. I’d happily support a tax (with expiration date) that would go to job re-training/placement assistance to employees who would be displaced, if it means I never have to see one of those damned things on my doorstep ever again. They go straight into the recycling bin.

I don’t use a phone book. It just goes through the front door and out the back in the recycling bin. Either program would be fine for me.

Phonebooks deserve a special place in hell.

I keep a phone book. sometimes someone wants a phone number and….no….they aren’t going to use my personal computer. I know lots of elderly folks who need phone books, too. If you don’t have the internet where else are you going to find business listings?

That’s why opt out is a good idea. Snarkiness aside, people who want phonebooks should be able to get them. But those of us who don’t want them shouldn’t have to be placing them directly into the recycling bin, which is what I do.
