Vintage YMCA Units On the Market
We were reasonably impressed with the Vintage Y condominiums on open house day a few weeks ago. At the time only a single unit was apparently done and just two were open, but the potential for the place was obvious. In the last few weeks several people have told us how much they liked the Y and that they wanted to see more. Well, several units are now on the market. They hit MLS a few days ago. The description is probably one of the most boring I’ve seen for a place with so much interest.
The finest in Vintage Design. 12 ceilings, beautifully crafted millwork; timeless in design. The homes are being sold owner occupied only and is a non-smoking building. The building is on the National Historic registry and qualifies for the historic tax credit. All new stainless steel appliances; including washer and dryer. Each home is air-conditioned.
Yawn. There hasn’t been much hype over this building, and the listing seems to continue that trend. Condos at these prices could probably use a little hype. At least give us a few photos.
We like the building. If anybody gets inside to see some of the upper units, send me a report. I’d love to hear your opinions.

Instead of applying for a grant to build a new park on the Foss Waterway, how about someone applies for a grant to keep the flowers blooming?

What’s the cost of a packet of flower seeds? The trouble with the current “flower bed crisis” is that Metro Parks talks about arbitrary boundaries of flower beds as if they were Broadway theatre stages.
Here’s another eye-opener:
The conservatory at Wright Park is a greenhouse—a glass house to GROW plants. Amazing concept, I know, but the managers at Metro Park are more concerned about growing the myth of their directorial competence.

A large part of the costs of maintaining the flowers is that Metro Parks sends out a two person crew to water the flowers; a driver and an assistant to actually use the water wand to water the plants. Perhaps the savings of one person doing both tasks would be enough to save the flowers.

Mofo, you aren’t suggesting scrapping the Conservatory’s collection and turn it into a commercial greenhouse, are you?

I like the conservatory and its contents just as they are—except for the overwrought flower beds. Does anyone really believe that the bureaucrats at Metro Parks can manage this place better than a teenage botany club?

Rumor has it that down at Pt. Defiance Park, “bored” directors have okayed a proposed exhibit of Ivan the gorilla pushing up daisies.
